In today's episode we look at “Floating Clouds” by Hisako Hibi, one of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans incarcerated in prison camps on the West Coast during WWII. Paintings like this served as the only visual record of life in the camps as well as a way for prisoners to deal with the harsh conditions. We'll find out how she and her family were able to build a new life after the war and how she persevered through her art and with the help of fellow immigrants.  SHOW NOTES  “A Long Look” themes are "Easy" by Ron Gelinas https://youtu.be/2QGe6skVzSs and “At the Cafe with You” by Onion All Stars https://pixabay.com/users/onion_all_stars-33331904/ EPISODE MUSIC “Timeless One” by Solas Composer https://soundcloud.com/solas_composer/timeless-one “Eastern Thought” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html Artwork information Hisako Hibi https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/floating-clouds-119617 Detention camp paintings https://janm.emuseum.com/groups/hisako-hibi-collection/results Hisako Hibi info https://americanart.si.edu/artist/hisako-hibi-33445 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisako_Hibi https://americanart.si.edu/blog/japanese-american-artists-hibi https://www.becomingvisible.si.edu/stories/hisako-hibi https://womenshistory.si.edu/blog/hisako-hibis-work-artist-was-almost-lost Exhibition info Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa, Hisako Hibi, and Miné Okubo Transcript available at https://alonglookpodcast.com/floating-clouds

Les Parisiennes sont minces sans effort, leur maquillage est discret et élégant, leurs vêtements sont simples et de bonne qualité, leurs cheveux sont laissés au naturel de la plus belle des manières... Certains de ces clichés ont une part de vérité, d'autres sont très problématiques. On discute de tout cela !

Judith: [0:20] Bonjour tout le monde, et bonjour Hélène ! Hélène: [0:23] Salut Judith, comment ça va ? Judith: [0:25] Ça va bien et toi ? Hélène: [0:27] Très bien, très contente d'être avec vous les amis aujourd'hui et avec toi. Et pour commencer, c'est devenu un peu une habitude, donc on va écouter un super message, vraiment continuez à nous envoyer des messages vocaux les amis, c'est génial ! Ken: [0:43] Bonjour Easy French, j'espère que vous allez bien. Je m'appelle Ken, je suis japonais et je vis actuellement à Londres. Dans le dernier épisode, vous avez demandé à vos auditeurs pourquoi nous apprenons le français. Voici ma réponse. Lors de la présentation finale pour l'appel d'offres des Jeux Olympiques de 2020, il y a 11 ans, la première personne de l'équipe japonaise qui a prononcé un discours était la princesse Hisako qui a grandi en Angleterre. Quand elle s'est adressée au comité international olympique en français courant, suivi de son anglais impeccable, je me suis dit que je voulais être comme elle, un japonais qui maîtrise deux langues internationales. Alors moi, j'ai commencé à apprendre le français en 2017 quand j'ai commencé mes études à l'université. J'ai fini par écrire un mémoire sur les idéologies linguistiques dans la France contemporaine, et j'ai terminé en juin dernier mes études supérieures en linguistique à Oxford, où j'ai écrit en article sur les anglicismes en français. Donc, le français est non seulement devenu une langue que j'ai réussi à parler, mais il est également devenu un sujet de mon travail académique. Donc, c'est très important pour moi. Voilà. Merci beaucoup pour le travail que vous faites. J'ai toujours aimé vos vidéos et podcasts et j'ai vraiment hâte de découvrir le prochain épisode. Merci. Ciao. Judith: [2:03] Merci beaucoup, Ken, pour cet incroyable message. Merci d'avoir partagé les raisons pour lesquelles tu apprends le français. Et oui, parfois, ça naît juste d'une rencontre, d'un moment qui fait qu'il y a un désir qui naît, comme ça, de se lancer dans une aventure. Et ton histoire est incroyable. Et le travail que tu as fait sur les anglicismes en français m'intéresserait beaucoup. C'est un sujet que j'adore, comme tu le sais, Hélène. Hélène: [2:28] Oui, on aimerait vraiment lire ton article. Alors, n'hésite pas à nous envoyer un lien par mail ou sur Instagram. Moi aussi, j'aimerais bien le lire, ouais. On espère que ça vous inspire, les amis. Bien sûr, notre ami Ken parle un français absolument sublime et sans aucune sorte d'erreur de prononciation ou de grammaire. Mais même si vous n'avez pas un français aussi parfait, n'hésitez pas surtout à nous envoyer des messages. Tout le monde est le bienvenu. Judith: [2:59] Surtout même si vous n'avez pas son niveau, parce que c'est comme ça qu'on progresse. Hélène: [3:03] Exactement. Bon, on y va pour l'épisode ? Judith: [3:05] Oui.

The Belvedere Hotel is in the heart of New York City's theater district. Many of its guests come to see the sights, take in a show. But there are a few dozen people who call the Belvedere home. Decades ago, they came to New York and rented rooms there. As the hotel changed hands over the years, they never left. One of them was Hisako Hasegawa. This is episode seven of our series The Unmarked Graveyard, next week will be our final episode. You can listen to the entire series in the podcast feed.

The X-Men anime has some truly stellar writing for Scott Summers, which is to say, he is a massive dick in this episode and it's totally in-character. Instead of engaging with his anger towards Emma Frost (as well as his attraction towards her), Scott decides to take it out on poor little Hisako in the Danger Room. Meanwhile, Hisako comes to terms with her mutant identity after a pep talk from Ororo and Emma, after which Emma decides to use Xavier's telepathy to prove Scott wrong. Not much actually happens in this episode, but it's still satisfying to see the character drama play out.

Emma Frost discovers her diamond powers as a secondary mutation at the outset of the fourth episode of the X-Men anime, and it causes quite a stir. Beast convinces Emma that she must return with him to the Xavier Institute so that he can run tests on her, and Hisako comes along, after getting permission from her parents. Wolverine then fights a mutant on top of the Blackbird, and we have no idea what's going on there. Also we talk about Sonic the Hedgehog characters a lot in this week's episode. That's just the kind of day we were having.

Maddy and Ryan invite Todd Harper back onto the show for the introduction of Emma Frost on the X-Men anime. We talk about her outfit, her boobs, the boob window on her outfit, and so much more (as it relates to Emma's boobs). Scott and Logan continue their sexual tension, and Scott tries to convince everybody else that Emma can't be trusted. This works fairly well until Hisako wakes up and makes it clear that Emma is her favorite person ever, at which point the X-Men realize they're all going to have to work together if they want to save Hisako and escape the U-Men.

Continuing our Black History Month theme, this week's episode finds us discussing our favorite POC's in anime. Given the racist past of manga and anime, it is good to see more diversity and well-fleshed out characters in modern times. But we do take time to acknowledge the troublesome characters of the past. Our distractions include Euphoria, YuYu Hakusho, Hisako & R. Kelly, and Voltron.

Arranged marriages have been around for centuries, and in The Light Years (Angry Robot, 2020), R.W.W. Greene imagines they’ll be around for centuries more. With the addition of speed-of-light travel, Greene’s character Adem Saddiq can sign a contract with the parents of his wife-to-be before she’s even born, take to space on his family’s freighter and return several months later to find his 26-year-old bride, Hisako Sasaki, waiting for him. Because time dilation allows him to jump 26 years into the future, he can have his bride made-to-order, specifying what degrees and skills she’ll need to play a productive part in the family business. He can even require that she receive genetic modifications to make her a genius. Greene imagines that the same considerations that shaped arranged marriages in the past will shape them in the future. Hisako’s “parents are very poor. They’re refugees,” he explains. “Their only way to get out of this situation is to sign the contract. It's going to allow Adem and his family to pay for Hisako’s schooling, which she wouldn't otherwise have gotten. It’s going to pay for a family apartment, which they wouldn't otherwise have had. And it's going to make sure that she has a life that's going to be far better than her parents’.” Understandably, Hisako sees the situation differently. “If you're the mom and the dad, then you see [the arranged marriage] as something that would be good for your kid. If you’re the kid, your whole life has been stolen from you and preordained and pre-contracted. Like Hisako, you'd be a little pissed about it.” The Light Years is Greene’s first novel.

Sensei Siebuhr talks about the life of Hisako Nakamura (visit the link to see some of Misako's dolls, dolls she sewed with her mouth), a woman so severely handicapped that she brought Helen Keller to tears. Hisako suffered severe frostbite as a child and had to have all her limbs amputated. In spite of Misako's own severe handicaps she met a couple who she felt had endured an even harder life than her own. These are some of Hisako's reflections: "I have been guided by my handicaps. It is my helpless body that has made what I am now and I feel I am saved or spiritually elevated. God gave me my life - I have lived it through with gratitude!"

Bombs destroy Kazuo's home during the war but he to goes to high school where he learns English, becoming a translator after graduation. Asked to translate sermons for a missionary pastor, he is convicted and receives Christ. A chaplain sponsors him to Bible college where he meets Hisako and they marry after he graduates. He works for Pacific Broadcasting Association, producing radio programs, then is called to Quito, Ecuador to translate and produce Japanese programs. He and Hisako serve for nearly four decades until her death in 2006. He is still in ministry.
