Non, la nostalgie n'explique pas tout. Des vieilles consoles qui ressortent dans le commerce, des tournois de Mario Kart sur Super Famicom (ne manquez pas notre interview du streamer français et champion de MK : Antistar, qui a fait le voyage jusqu'au Japon), le pixel art qui s'affiche partout sur la scène indie et dans les rues de Tokyo… Ce n'est plus une mode, mais un véritable phénomène qui phagocyte l'industrie du jeu vidéo de l'intérieur. Ce podcast est aussi l'occasion de parler de la sortie du long-métrage d'animation français Mars Express au Japon, avec un reportage signé Alex Pilot et une interview du réalisateur Jérémie Perin ; mais également de la série animée bien trashouille Dorohedoro, adaptée du manga de Q Hayashida ; du manga et de l'anime Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider ; de la bande dessinée Silent Jenny ; ou encore du shoot'em up indie japonais : Raging Blasters !

Llega el domingo y hoy día 15 de febrero dos nuevas horas de radio viajera llegan a RPA en vuestro programa amigo Un buen día para viajar…comienza el gran Alberto Campa en su sección de recorridos por todo el mundo y en esta ocasión con otro amigo del programa, Ignacio Bosch director del Parador de Cangas de Onís, que juntos y mano a mano nos llevan a conocer la capital japonesa, porque ambos la conocen muy bien, la inmensa Tokio, iremos por Shibuya y Hachiko, el barrio de Ginza, los parques de Ueno o Yoyogui, con las características de las gentes de Japón, de una tecnología increíble y también de cosas que os sorprenderán y una gastronomía excepcional…nos vamos luego en nuestras salidas por España a las islas afortunadas, a la isla de Lanzarote y un pueblo precioso, la antigua capital de esta isla volcánica, Teguise, su arte, su historia, sus tradiciones y su gastronomía nos lo cuenta él cronista oficial de la población Francisco Hernández…en la segunda hora llega Grandes Personajes y Viajeros de la Historia y nos vamos a conocer a un artista universal, Salvador Dalí, pero con una vida increíble, y donde su arte es reflejo de muchas cosas más allá de la simple belleza estética, las matemáticas, la geometría, la física cuántica están detrás de la obra del inigualable Dalí, nos lo contará todo una de las personas que más conoce su vida y obra y que más ha investigado y escrito sobre el artista catalán, Salvador Ortells…y cerramos con el historiador y amigo del programa Ernesto Burgos, que nos lleva a Mieres para explicarnos porque hay minas que llevan nombres tan curiosos como Baltasara o Mariana, pero sobre todo tal vez el más llamativo, por las hipótesis que existen, es el de Nicolasa…dos horas de radio e historia en RPA!!!
From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

What happens when you stop obsessively planning and trying to control the outcome in the studio and start letting your subconscious lead the way? In this episode of the Create! Podcast, host Ekaterina Popova chats with August Vilella, a self-taught artist whose intuitive approach has landed his work in Art Basel and major galleries across Asia and Europe. August reveals how he abandoned sketches and rigid concepts to find a "direct language" that transcends cultural and language barriers. We explore his "happy accident" move to Japan, his upcoming 10th-anniversary chronological exhibition, and why he believes the best career investment you can make is simply showing up in person. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Intuitive Method: Why August starts with a completely white canvas and no prior ideas or sketches to allow the subconscious and past experiences to take a leading role. The Self-Taught Advantage: How skipping art school allowed August to find his own unique style and "signature" before being influenced by a teacher's perspective. Building a Career from Zero: The story of how a two-week trip for a show in 2020 turned into a five-year Japanese residency after a flight was cancelled during the pandemic. Being Your Own "Bad Boss": The discipline required to be strict with gallery deadlines while maintaining a meditative, improvisational creative process. The "Lottery" of Opportunities: Why traveling to openings and art fairs is essential for letting collectors and directors see your energy and story, not just the final work. Milestone Exhibitions: A look at his massive 500-square-meter 10th-anniversary show in Shenzhen and upcoming solo exhibitions in Tokyo and Ginza. Key Quotes: "All my past experience have some deep impact in my painting... my subconscious mind have a very important role in the creative process." — August Vilella "The best way to make an interesting career is to travel, to meet people, to talk with people... they not only see your work, they also see your energy." — August Vilella Connect with the Guest: Instagram: www.instagram.com/august_vilella_art/ Website: augustvilella.com About the Host: Ekaterina Popova is an artist and the founder of Create!

Japan is often described as having “spirituality without religion”, but what does that actually mean?

If you're a creative person, going abroad, exploring the world, living in new surroundings, seeing new things can add a new dimension to your work. It can inspire you to see your practice in a new light. The influences you gather over time, especially through travel, can only enrich what you create. On this episode of The Unfinished Print, a mokuhanga podcast, I speak with printmaker Kay Watanabe. Kay has spent many years splitting her time between Australia and Japan, and in doing so, she's developed her mokuhanga and other print work across two distinct cultural landscapes. We discuss what it means to create in those two different spaces under different circumstances and how Kay navigates this duality, we also discuss her love of washi, the way she develops her prints, and how mokuhanga fits into her broader artistic process. Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me theunfinishedprint@gmail.com Notes: may contain a hyperlink. Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Artists works follow after the note if available. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Print publishers are given if known. Kay Watanabe - website Instagram Gallery Camellia - is an art gallery in the historic Okuno Building in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan. Munakata Shikō (志功棟方) - (1903-1975) arguably one of the most famous modern printmakers; Shikō is renowned for his prints of women, animals, the supernatural and Buddhist deities. He made his prints with an esoteric fervour where his philosophies about mokuhanga were just as interesting as his print work. Helen Frankenthaler (1928–2011) was a prominent American abstract expressionist painter known for her role in the Color Field painting movement. Her innovative technique involved staining unprimed canvas with thinned oil paint, creating a distinctive luminous effect. "Mountains and Sea" (1952) is a notable example of her influential work. Frankenthaler's contributions have left a lasting impact on postwar American art. Frankenthaler began to make woodcut prints in 1973 and was influenced by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858). More info about her prints can be found at the Frankenthaler Foundation, here. Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950) - a watercolorist, oil painter, and woodblock printmaker. Is associated with the resurgence of the woodblock print in Japan, and in the West. It was his early relationship with Watanabe Shōzaburō, having his first seven prints printed by the Shōzaburō atelier. This experience made Hiroshi believe that he could hire his own carvers and printers and produce woodblock prints, which he did in 1925. Gary Shinfield - is a draighstman, painter and printmaker based in Australia. Seraphina Martin - is a printmaker based in Australia. More info can be found here, at Sydney Printmakers.

International Mokuhanga Conference - is a bi-yearly conference dedicated to mokuhanga which started in 2011 by the International Mokuhanga Association. Each conference is themed. The latest conference was in 2021, delayed a year because of the pandemic. More information can be found, here. monotype print - is a unique print created from an image painted or drawn on a smooth surface, such as glass or metal, and then transferred to paper. Unlike most printmaking methods, where multiple copies of the same image can be produced, a monotype typically has a single, one-of-a-kind image. It's called a "mono" type because it is not part of an edition like traditional prints (e.g., lithographs, etchings), where you can make multiple copies. © Popular Wheat Productions logo designed and produced by Douglas Batchelor and André Zadorozny Disclaimer: Please do not reproduce or use anything from this podcast without shooting me an email and getting my express written or verbal consent.
