In this special bonus episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas launches an experimental new monthly format: a London events guide covering what's actually on in the city this month. June is arguably London's finest month — 16 to 17 hours of daylight, the longest evenings of the year, and an events calendar absolutely bursting at the seams. Jonathan walks through everything worth knowing about June in London: the major royal events including Trooping the Colour and Royal Ascot, the blockbuster summer exhibitions at Tate Modern, Tate Britain, the Royal Academy, the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A, and more, plus what's on in London theater from Shakespeare's Globe to the West End, live music at Wembley and the Roundhouse, and practical tips for surviving — and thriving in — a London heat wave. If this episode proves popular, Jonathan will make it a monthly fixture. Let him know what you think in the comments. Links Royal Events ~Trooping the Colour — Official Info~ ~Royal Ascot~ ~Wimbledon Tickets & Ballot~ ⠀Exhibitions — Book Ahead ~Frida Kahlo at Tate Modern~ ~Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (opens June 16)~ ~Anish Kapoor Retrospective at Hayward Gallery (opens June 16)~ ~Marilyn Monroe at National Portrait Gallery~ ~Barbara Hepworth at the Courtauld Gallery (from June 1)~ ~Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the V&A~ ~Wes Anderson Exhibition at the Design Museum~ ~James McNeill Whistler Retrospective at Tate Britain~ ~The Queen's Fashion at The King's Gallery~ (sold out through 2026 — book 2027 dates now) ~Inside Aardman: Wallace & Gromit at Young V&A~ ~Hokusai: 36 Views of Mount Fuji at Dulwich Picture Gallery~ (closes June 30) ⠀Theater ~A Midsummer Night's Dream at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre (from June 20)~ ~Much Ado About Nothing at Shakespeare's Globe (from June 11)~ ~To Kill a Mockingbird — New West End Adaptation (opens June 25)~ ~Cyrano de Bergerac — West End (opens June 13)~ ~Buy West End Tickets via Anglotopia's Link~ (supports Anglotopia) ~TKTS Booth at Leicester Square — Half-Price Day Tickets~ ⠀Long-Running West End Shows The Lion King Hamilton Wicked Les Misérables Matilda Mamma Mia Six Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (almost always sold out — book well ahead) Sinatra — The Musical ⠀Live Music Harry Styles at Wembley Stadium (from June 12) Olivia Dean at the O2 (from June 12) Orville Peck at the Roundhouse, Camden ⠀Practical Resources ~National Gallery Extended Summer Hours (from July 1)~ ~Londontopia London Events Calendar~ ~Argos UK — Buy a Fan on Arrival~ ~Anglotopia June London Events Article~ (link to article) ~Friends of Anglotopia Club~ ⠀ Takeaways June is arguably London's best month to visit — 16 to 17 hours of daylight, reliably pleasant weather, and the richest events calendar of the year, though it is also peak tourist season with hotel prices running 20 to 40 percent above spring rates. Trooping the Colour — the monarch's official birthday parade — is the major royal event of the year in 2026. Even without a ballot ticket to Horse Guards Parade, you can experience the procession on the Mall and the balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace by arriving very early and staking out a good spot. Every major summer blockbuster exhibition in London requires advance booking — some, like The Queen's Fashion at The King's Gallery, are already sold out through 2026. Book tickets as soon as you finish listening, even if your trip dates aren't confirmed yet. The Frida Kahlo survey at Tate Modern, the James McNeill Whistler retrospective at Tate Britain, and the Marilyn Monroe exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery are Jonathan's top three must-book exhibition picks for the month. The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition — the world's largest open submission art show, running since 1769 — is a uniquely chaotic, democratic, and wonderful experience where everything on the walls is for sale and any artist can enter. Shakespeare's Globe is staging Much Ado About Nothing from June 11, and Regent's Park Open Air Theatre opens A Midsummer Night's Dream on June 20 — watching Shakespeare outdoors on a long June evening is one of the quintessential London summer experiences. London generally does not have air conditioning in older buildings, hotel rooms, or most tube lines. The first thing you should do after arriving in summer is buy a fan — Jonathan recommends going straight to Argos, Britain's version of a catalog store, for an affordable one. The tube's older lines (Central, Piccadilly) get brutally hot in summer due to London clay absorbing and retaining heat underground. The Elizabeth line is fully air conditioned and runs east-west across the city — use it as much as possible in a heat wave. The National Gallery is experimenting with extended summer evening hours, staying open until 7 PM most evenings and until 9 PM on Fridays from July 1 — Jonathan's suggestion: have an early dinner, then walk over for a free evening of world-class art. Don't try to pack too much in. Pick three or four things you genuinely care about, build your days around those, and leave time to wander, sit in Green Park with a deck chair, or walk along the Thames in the long evening light. June in London is as much about the atmosphere as the attractions. ⠀ Soundbites "The light is the headline for June. You get sixteen to seventeen hours of daylight. Twilight stretches from around eight PM to nearly ten PM. You can have a full day of exploring, sit down for dinner, and still walk home along the Thames and have some daylight." — Jonathan on why June is London's best month. "If you've ever wondered what the best month to visit London is, a lot of people will quietly tell you it's this one." — Jonathan on June in London. Plan your day around it. Get up stupidly early — three, four, five in the morning — get your spot on the Mall and soak up the atmosphere. It'll be like a party atmosphere." — Jonathan on how to experience Trooping the Colour without a ticket. "The Queen's Fashion at The King's Gallery is sold out for the rest of the year, and I know a lot of people are gonna be really disappointed when they try to get tickets and they simply can't." — Jonathan's warning on the most in-demand exhibition of the summer. "The walls are packed from floor to ceiling and everything is for sale. It's chaotic and wonderful. And it's a great way to see up-and-coming artists and established artists side by side." — Jonathan on the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. "Shakespeare under the open sky in one of London's loveliest parks on a warm June evening — it doesn't get dark till ten PM anyway. Enjoy some champagne, enjoy some theater out in the green. That's my top theater pick for the month." — Jonathan on Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. "The first thing you should do after you land is go to what the British call an ironmonger — a hardware store — and buy a fan. Don't skimp. It is essential for Americans traveling in Europe." — Jonathan's number one summer travel tip. "The London clay is a heat sink. It absorbs heat and then it doesn't let it back out. So the tube gets really hot in the summer. If you are prone to heat issues, avoid the tube except the Elizabeth line, which is fully air conditioned." — Jonathan on navigating London in a heat wave. "I sat there in the rain in the 40s, got soaking wet. And I — not exaggerating — almost got hypothermia. It was July. I could not warm up when I got back to the hotel because the heating wasn't on and there weren't enough blankets because it was July." — Jonathan's cautionary tale about British summer weather. "Argos is exactly like Service Merchandise — you go in, there's a big catalog, you pick your thing, and it comes out on a conveyor belt. Get a fan. Don't even look at the weather forecast first. Just trust me — you're going to need a fan." — Jonathan's most practical London summer tip. ⠀ Chapters 00:21 Introduction — Jonathan launches the experimental monthly London events format 01:15 The Feel of June in London — Long days, the light, and why June is special 02:20 June Weather — What to expect, heat waves, and the maritime humidity problem 03:45 Peak Tourist Season — Crowds, hotel prices, and why June still beats July 05:00 Trooping the Colour — What it is, how to see it without a ticket, and Jonathan's tips for getting a good spot 08:30 Royal Ascot — Fascinators on the tube, the royal procession, and how to get tickets 10:00 Wimbledon — The ballot, resale tickets, strawberries and cream, and what to do if you can't get in 11:30 How to Book Exhibitions — Why advance booking is non-negotiable and the Queen's Fashion sellout warning 13:00 Frida Kahlo at Tate Modern — Jonathan's pick and why Tate Modern is worth seeing for the building alone 14:30 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (June 16) — The world's largest open submission art show 15:30 Anish Kapoor at the Hayward Gallery (June 16) — The Cloud Gate connection and why it's worth seeing 16:15 Marilyn Monroe at the National Portrait Gallery — Just opened, book fast 17:00 Barbara Hepworth at the Courtauld Gallery — And why Somerset House is worth a visit anyway 17:45 Schiaparelli at the V&A — Fashion exhibitions and why the V&A excels at them 18:15 Wes Anderson at the Design Museum — A treat for film fans 18:45 James McNeill Whistler at Tate Britain — A sellout show, book immediately 19:30 Wallace & Gromit at Young V&A — The Aardman exhibition Jonathan is hoping to catch in August 20:15 Closing This Month — Mikalojus Čiurlionis at the Royal Academy (closes June 21) and Hokusai at Dulwich (closes June 30) 21:00 Theater — Why June is the best time for London theater 21:30 Regent's Park Open Air Theatre — A Midsummer Night's Dream, Jonathan's top pick of the month 22:00 Shakespeare's Globe — Much Ado About Nothing from June 11 22:30 New West End Openings — To Kill a Mockingbird (June 25) and Cyrano de Bergerac (June 13) 23:00 Long-Running Shows — Lion King, Hamilton, Wicked, Six, Les Mis, and how to get discount tickets 24:00 Live Music — Harry Styles at Wembley, Olivia Dean at the O2, Orville Peck at the Roundhouse 25:00 Practical Tips: Heat — Does London have air conditioning?

Pourquoi joue-t-on ? Et qu'est-ce qui peut transformer une activité ordinaire en un jeu amusant ?Dans cet épisode Sarah-Lou Lepers enquête sur les mécanismes du jeu. Théâtre, jeux vidéo, culture japonaise : trois terrains pour comprendre ce qui nous pousse à jouer, à explorer et à nous laisser surprendre.Quand le théâtre (re)devient un terrain de jeuAu théâtre, tout semble réglé d'avance : le texte, le décor, les répétitions. Alors comment entretenir une part de spontanéité ?Avec Geoffrey Rouge-Carrassat, docteur SACRe et diplomé du Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique (CNSAD-PSL), comédien, dramaturge et metteur en scène, nous découvrons les conditions du « jeu ludique » sur scène. Règles, choix, imperfections : quels ingrédients permettent aux acteurs de continuer à jouer, au sens propre du terme, devant le public ? Avec un extrait du documentaire réalisé par Louise Guillaume.Ce que les jeux vidéo disent de nos préférencesPourquoi certains adorent explorer les recoins d'un monde virtuel tandis que d'autres s'en lassent vite ?À l'Institut Jean-Nicod (ENS – PSL), le chercheur Edgar Dubourg étudie les préférences et les motivations humaines à travers les jeux vidéo. Avec Valérian Chambon, directeur de recherche au CNRS, et Toni Zian, étudiant en CPES Sciences des données, Art et Culture et stagiaire, ils développent des outils pour mieux comprendre les comportements des joueurs.Nous explorons comment les sciences cognitives utilisent les jeux vidéo pour étudier la psychologie humaine, et comment ces recherches pourraient un jour contribuer à personnaliser des recommandations de santé.Des jeux cachés dans les images japonaisesPeut-on jouer simplement en regardant une image ?Marianne Simon-Oikawa, professeure en études japonaises à l'Université Paris Cité et chercheuse au Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l'Asie orientale (CRCAO), sous la tutelle notamment de l'EPHE-PSL et du Collège de France, nous fait découvrir les moji-e, des images composées de caractères d'écriture japonais.À travers ces documents fascinants, elle explique que le jeu peut naître de l'interprétation, du regard et du lien entre texte et image.L'illustration de l'épisode est un moji-e : Le marchand de vaisselle (setomono-uri), Moji-e zukushi (Recueil d'images en écriture), 1836 (reprise d'un ouvrage de 1685), coll.

Cos'è il sublime? Cosa accade quando l'immagine supera ciò che possiamo comprendere? In questa nuova puntata, Carlotta e Alisia ci guidano in un percorso che fa incontrare l'Oriente di Hokusai con l'Occidente di Jean-François Lyotard. A Palazzo Bonaparte arriva per la prima volta una grande mostra dedicata a Hokusai, il maestro che ha trasformato l'onda in visione e il paesaggio in esperienza dell'infinito. Per Lyotard, il sublime nasce proprio da questa tensione: dal tentativo di rappresentare ciò che eccede ogni rappresentazione. Interviene la direttrice scientifica, la dottoressa Francesca Villanti.

Constraint & Uncertainty: David Epstein and Simone Stolzoff on Thinking Inside The Box

This week, we explore two forces that shape every creative journey: constraint and uncertainty. Drawing on the remarkable artistic reinventions of Hokusai, we look at how creative legends transitioned from running from the box to thriving within it—and how that same process plays out in creative work today.Our first guest, David Epstein, author of Inside the Box, systematically dismantles the myth of the blank canvas and shows why true creative breakthroughs happen inside carefully constructed boundaries. He shares frameworks used by artistic innovators and practical strategies for leaders and teams to define the right limits—especially in an era of generative AI and limitless toolsets.We then talk with Simone Stolzoff, whose book How Not to Know tackles the fog of uncertainty head-on. He makes the case that tolerating, and even harnessing, uncertainty is not a liability but the lifeblood of all meaningful creative work. Together, David and Simone reveal why “embracing the box” and “rowing in the fog” are not problems to solve, but the permanent address of anyone doing real creative work.Five Key LearningsIntentional Constraints Fuel Creativity: Constraints are not the enemy; they're the engine. Strategic limits—on format, palette, or process—block the most familiar solutions and force genuinely new connections.Define the Boundaries Early: Projects that begin with rapid execution but no clear boundaries almost always bog down. Slow, deliberate thinking at the outset (setting priorities and constraints) leads to faster, more focused execution.Constraint is not Suffocation—It's Clarity: The most productive creative environments, whether in art, business, or writing, use narrow briefs and paired constraints to drive original outcomes.Our Tolerance for Uncertainty Is Eroding: As answers become more instantly available, we lose the ability to sit with the unknown. Microdosing uncertainty—through small experiments and unfamiliar choices—helps rebuild that vital tolerance.Progress is Acting in the Fog: The work that matters is rarely created in total freedom or certainty. Leaders who admit what they don't know and take action anyway (with humility and open curiosity) model the mental flexibility required to innovate.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Les collections des Beaux-Arts de Paris détiennent un tirage du célèbre cycle des huit gravures sur bois des Cascades de différentes provinces d'Hokusai. Réalisé autour de 1830, cet ensemble au caractère à la fois visionnaire et synthétique est un jalon essentiel de l'art japonais de l'époque Edo et au-delà, l'objet de multiples ramifications ou réinterprétations encore vivantes aujourd'hui. Au cours de cette « Collection parlée », conçue comme une rencontre sensible autour de l'œuvre, quatre spécialistes vont en proposer des lectures complémentaires ainsi qu'un éclairage contemporain.Sophie Basch, professeure de littérature française à la Faculté des Lettres de Sorbonne Université, évoque l'engouement pour l'art japonais dans les milieux artistiques parisiens de la fin du XIXᵉ siècle, en mettant notamment en lumière le rôle déterminant des Beaux-Arts de Paris lors de la grande exposition d'estampes japonaises de 1890. Giulia Longo, conservatrice des estampes et photographies aux Beaux-Arts de Paris, revient sur les circonstances de son entrée dans les collections en 1908. Marianne Simon-Oikawa, professeure d'Études japonaises à Paris Cité, évoque la figure d'Hokusai et Clélia Zernik, professeure de philosophie de l'art aux Beaux-Arts de Paris, en propose une mise en perspective contemporaine.Amphithéâtre d'HonneurMardi 27 janvier 2026Crédit photo : Katsushika Hokusai, Cascade de Kirifuri au mont Kurokami dans la province de Shimotsuke, gravure sur bois en couleur, vers 1833, Beaux-Arts de Paris, Est 4659

The Unfinished Print
Sarah Brayer : Printmaker - Nothing In Isolation

The Unfinished Print

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 4, 2025 75:26


For many of us, travel to Japan is something we do once in a while. We save and plan, then journey to a country that offers so much to our mokuhanga practice. But for others, the trip becomes extended, and Japan becomes a place to build a life and make work. Japan becomes central to who they are and how they see the world. On this episode of The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast, I speak with Sarah Brayer, a visual artist who has made her home in Kyoto, where she has created a wide range of visual art such as mokuhanga, poured washi, fusuma murals, and aquatint. In our interview, we focus on Sarah's mokuhanga history, her studies with Toshi Yoshida, her life in Kyoto and how the city shapes her work. We also discuss her mokuhanga work, how she views the medium and where it fits into her life today.  Sarah Brayer - website, Instagram River Mist Kyoto (1982) 7" x 21" aquatint - is an intaglio printmaking technique used to create rich tonal effects rather than lines alone. By dusting a metal plate with fine resin particles and then heating it to adhere the grains, the artist creates a textured, acid-resistant surface. When the plate is placed in acid, the exposed areas etch around the resin particles, producing a range of tones similar to watercolor washes. By stopping out areas and etching in stages, printmakers can build subtle gradients, deep shadows, and layered atmospheres, making aquatint especially popular for expressive, painterly prints. etching - is an intaglio printmaking process in which an image is created by using acid to bite lines into a metal plate. The plate is first coated with a waxy, acid-resistant ground, and the artist draws through this ground with a needle to expose the metal beneath. When the plate is submerged in acid, the exposed lines are etched into the surface. After the ground is removed, ink is worked into these incised lines, the surface is wiped clean, and dampened paper is pressed onto the plate with a high-pressure press, transferring the inked image. Etching allows for incredibly fine detail, expressive line quality, and a wide range of textures. raku yaki - raku ware is a traditional Japanese pottery style that originated in 16th-century Kyoto and is closely tied to the tea ceremony. Characterized by hand-shaped forms, low-temperature firing, and simple glazes that embody wabi-sabi, it was historically cooled in the open air and produced by the Raku family lineage. In contrast, Western raku refers to a later adaptation in which red-hot pieces are placed into combustible materials to create dramatic crackle and metallic effects, a process distinct from the original Japanese method.  Kyoto Seika University - located in Kyoto, Japan, is a leading private institution specializing in art and design education. It offers undergraduate and graduate programs in fields such as painting, sculpture, graphic design, and manga. Known for its rigorous curriculum, Kyoto Seika emphasizes both practical skills and creative expression. With a strong tradition of nurturing talented artists and designers, the university fosters a dynamic environment that encourages innovation and artistic growth. ukiyo-e - is a multi colour woodblock print generally associated with the Edo Period (1603-1867) of Japan. What began in the 17th Century as prints of only a few colours, evolved into an elaborate system of production and technique into the Meiji Period (1868-1912). With the advent of photography and other forms of printmaking, ukiyo-e as we know it today, ceased production by the late 19th Century. Torii Kyomasu II (1706-1763)  Mary Cassatt (1844–1926) was an American painter and printmaker who became a prominent figure in the French Impressionist movement. Known for her intimate portrayals of women and children, she used soft yet expressive color, loose brushwork, and innovative printmaking techniques to capture everyday domestic life. Living much of her career in Paris, she exhibited with artists like Degas, who influenced her approach to composition and perspective. Cassatt's work remains celebrated for its sensitivity, modernity, and groundbreaking representation of women's experiences. Ren Brown Collection -  is gallery in Bodega Bay, California featuring contemporary Japanese prints, handmade ceramics and jewelry, Japanese antiques, and works by California artists and sculptors. Each piece reflects a dedication to quality, cultural heritage, and creative expression. Micah Schwaberow (1948-2022) - was an American mokuhanga printmaker who fused Western and Eastern imagery to create a unique perspective. His work often featured landscapes, portraits, and cultural themes. Celebration (2015) 10" x 5 1/2" bokashi - is a mokuhanga technique, where the pigment fades from a heavy colour to a softer, broad colour. Made famous by prints designed by Hokusai and Hiroshige, this technique is, for me, the most popular technique utilized by  mokuhanga printmakers. There are various types: Ichimoji-bokashi or straight line graduation, used in the above mentioned Hiroshige and Hokusai prints. Ichimoji-mura-bokashi or straight line gradation with uneven edge. Ō-bokashi or wide gradation, Ate-nashi-bokashi or gradation without definition. Futa-iro-bokashi or two tone gradation, and ita-bokashi or softer-edge gradation, where the block is cut in a specific way to achieve this style of gradation. All of these styles of bokashi technique take practice and skill but are very much doable. A wonderful example of bokashi in the sky can be found below, in a print by Paul Binnie.  Acropolis - Night (2007) 11.85" × 16.46" Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) - born in Edo, Hiroshige is famous for his landscape series of that burgeoning city. The most famous series being, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856-1859), and the landcape series, Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833-1834). His work highlights bokashi, and bright colours. More info about his work can be found, here.  Sumidagawa (from Forty-Eight Famous Views of Edo)  (ca. 1861) 8 7/8" x 6 7/16" Kawase Hasui (1883-1957), a designer of more than six hundred woodblock prints, is one of the most famous artists of the shin-hanga movement of the early twentieth century. Hasui began his career under the guidance of Kaburaki Kiyokata (1878-1971), joining several artistic societies early on. However, it wasn't until he joined the Watanabe atelier in 1918 that he began to gain significant recognition.

70. The Tsunami Violin – Book Launch

Art Life Faith Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 22, 2025


Welcome to the Art, Life, Faith Podcast, and I’m your host, Roger Lowther. Today, I’m excited to share with you a project that our team has been working on for quite some time now. Our new children’s book, The Tsunami Violin, comes out on November 24, 2025. Back in 2020, I wrote my first children’s book called “Pippy the Piano and the Very Big Wave”. Based on a true story, it tells how a church finds their beloved piano upside down and covered in mud and debris. But rather than throw it out, they decide to spend the enormous amounts of time and money necessary to fix it, and they give the piano new life. And even today, the church continues to tell this story through the many concerts they host there. Now we are releasing our second children’s book, which this time tells the story about a violin. A young tree protects her town from the cold and harsh ocean winds. But when the tsunami comes, everything is washed away: family, friends, town. She's lost everything, but then a master craftsman comes, a violin maker from Tokyo, and transforms her into something beautiful. Through her music and through her story, she brings encouragement and healing to all who hear it, a story of hope out of despair, life out of death, and new beginnings. Like Pippy the Piano, this book too is based on a true story. I'm fortunate to know Nakazawa-sensei, the violin maker, and also to have had the privilege of being involved in quite a few concerts with that violin. It’s such a powerful story of redemption that I had to get it out there. This is a story worth telling. In this episode, I have a conversation with some of the members of our team who made this book possible, the beginnings of the book and the process along the way, and especially with the very talented Holly Rose Wallace, whose images and illustrations so powerfully tell this story. So anyway, I know you’re going to love the book, and I hope this conversation into some of the background will help you enjoy it even more. Roger Well, today we are excited to share with all of you about this project we’ve been working on for quite some time now called The Tsunami Violin. And we have a number of us who are key players in getting this project together with us on the podcast. Can you all introduce yourselves one by one? Maybe Diane, you served as the project manager for this. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Diane Yes, I’m Diane Bakelaar, and I live in Nagoya, Japan. My husband and I run an arts ministry through an art gallery and meet people through the art gallery. I served as the project manager for this book. Roger Awesome. Now, most importantly, Holly Rose Wallace as the illustrator. Can you introduce yourself? Holly I don’t know about most important, but I’m Holly. I’m from Cleveland, Ohio. I did about a two-year internship in Nagoya, Japan, working with Diane and Peter Bakelaar, and then working on this project with Roger and others. This is my first illustration project, so it was really exciting to get to add this to my resume and work with the team on this project. But I’m a self-taught illustrator, and I’ve always loved the arts, so this is an exciting project for me. Roger Awesome. And, Verity, you’re on this call. Can you tell us your role in this project? Verity Hi, I’m Verity. I’m a London-based illustrator and designer specializing in book design. And I’m also preparing to move to Tokyo next year to work with Community Arts Tokyo as an arts missionary. Roger Very cool. Last but not least, we also have Tsumugu Misugi on the call. Can you introduce yourself? Tsumugu Yeah. Hello. My name is Tsumugu. I’m a violinist and a composer living in Japan. I write music and record for Japanese animation and Korean dramas and things like that. I was happy and so privileged to be able to play on the tsunami violin with Roger a couple of years ago. Roger Now, in the introduction to this episode, I’ve given a little summary of what this book is about. But really to capture the essence of it, I wanted all of us here together because I think there’s something really special about this project, in how it all came together. There were many pieces. It wasn’t like I wrote this story and then passed it on to Holly to illustrate and then published it, but there were so many moving parts. And as each part came in, it made the book all that much more special. So why don’t we just start right at the beginning? So, Tsumugu, why don’t you tell us a little bit about how you were first introduced to the tsunami violin? Tsumugu I served as a volunteer in Ishinomaki from 2012 and went back every summer until 2016. And so I had first-hand experience helping with relief work. And then I went to the States for college, and then I decided to move to Japan after college to pursue my work. And that was when I reconnected with Roger. And within the first, I think, maybe three months of me moving back to Japan, Roger was like, “Hey, there’s this project where we want to give about 10 concerts in Japan, and it would be awesome if you could play on this tsunami violin.” And that was the first time I had heard of the violin, but it’s very famous here in Japan, and I was very honored to be asked to play on the violin. Roger Yeah, I had gotten to know it at previous concerts, and then there was this church, a group of churches actually, up in Iwaki, who asked us to come and give concerts on the violin. And it really wasn’t until that time that it came together. I was like, “this is an amazing story to be told.” I mean, everywhere the violin goes, it doesn’t just give a concert, but its story is an essential part of that concert. Just bringing that hope, bringing that idea that there’s life out of death, that all things can be redeemed, even when you’re in the pit of despair. And to continually bring that violin into any crowd of people, really, it spoke, it said something. And I was like, “How can we tell this to more people, not just those at the concerts. What would that look like?” And that was when the idea came forth about making a children’s book. Now, of course, I am not a visual artist. I don’t have the means to do that, but it just so happened that God provided Holly at just the right time to begin having this conversation. Holly, what do you remember about those early conversations about this book? Holly I remember the first time that I met you, I was showing you some of my work, and you looked really excited. You’re like, I have an idea for my next children’s book, and I’ve been looking for an illustrator. And you asked if I do that. I was like, “Well, I haven’t, but it’s always been a dream of mine.” And so it was this perfect partnership of you needed an illustrator, and I wanted to illustrate. It all came together from there. Roger It started first with the two of us working on this project, but then I think things really got special when we brought in Anna, who isn’t on this call, and Diane to be part of the process as well. Actually, Diane, just before we started recording, you said something about that, just the idea of having more people involved in the project somehow made it better. Diane Yes, I’ve always been fascinated with the idea, the wisdom of the group, and how it’s statistically shown that when people as a group, when they’re working together well, they can make better decisions than an individual, even if that individual is an expert in the area. I certainly saw that with this project. Everybody was bringing their strengths to the table, and everyone in the group was able to listen and not hold on to their parts so tightly that they weren’t able to hear suggestions and improvements. That was really impressive to me how everyone was very humble and very willing to work together, and it just made the project so much better. Roger Yeah, I really enjoyed our times together. Once every two weeks or so, we all had our roles. Mine was officially words. Holly was images. Verity was, I think, everything artistic. Verity Not at first… Roger At first, what was your role? Verity At first, I was thinking when I came in that I'd be taking on a design role of doing stuff with how the text looked and how the cover looked. Then my input grew from there, for sure. Roger Yeah, it sure did. It was fun to see this project be born out of our time together. The idea was, how do we tell this story in the best possible way? What words do we use? What images? Are there things we can do with the text? Maybe we should add a frame here or take one out here. To be talking about that creatively as a group was some of the magic of this project, I think. Verity Yeah, definitely. I think the first ever meeting we had about this project, Diane was there on Zoom, we were sitting on the floor in this apartment which had no furniture, which is why we were sitting on the floor. But we were going through some of the sketches that Holly had done and some of the writing and stuff. For a while, I’d been working in the creative industries. In the creative industries, I definitely feel like your role gets isolated from the rest of the creative process, particularly as a designer, where you do your thing that you’re told to do, but you don’t have any input in how the rest of a creative project, a book, for example, looks like. I was coming from that into this project where we were all like, you were asking my opinion on the text and stuff, and I was a little bit worried about stepping on your toes. That was a really special moment for me. It was, I think, maybe my first week or two in Japan. I was like, Oh, this is something different here. What the team is doing here is different. It was a good moment. Roger Yeah, it was. Anna said you can’t publish a book without a cat in it. And that was just so much better. So we had this cat, and there’s this yellow bird that flies through the scenes and came to represent the Holy Spirit flying through and having a presence all throughout the story. And I think we were just having fun with it. It wasn’t just about practical things, but about what we can creatively do that would be fun, not just for us, but for the reader as well. Verity For me, I feel like it is something that’s natural to the creative process, but I feel like it came together in quite a non-linear way. I remember we brought in the idea of the music as in the images of music in the text, not right at the beginning, one of the opening paragraphs of the book is about the music of nature that the tree hears, which obviously it’s a book called the Tsunami Violin, so it makes sense to have those musical images. But it wasn’t something that we came up with until we talked through the project a little bit, and then we started thinking about how we could bring in those images and make it flow more cohesively. Roger Yeah, it became a theme throughout the whole book. It was actually someone else who wasn’t on this call who came up with an idea. They said, “One of the special things about children’s books is when phrases are repeated over and over.” It has a special power when you’re reading a children’s illustrated book. And I was like, oh, that’s like choruses in songs, right? I mean, you sing the verse and then the chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, and the chorus keeps getting repeated. And I think that’s one of the beauties of this book now. It didn’t start that way at all, but to have this repeating course of the music of the town. In fact, we have it on the back cover here, “The rhythm of the waves, the song of the birds, the whistling of the wind, and the hum of the town,” She has it in the beginning, and then she loses it because of the tsunami. And then how does she get that back? And it’s through the work of this master craftsman, this violin maker who makes her into this beautiful thing that she didn’t know was possible. Through her music and through her story, the people are hearing the music of her town again. Verity I think that was another thing that I found quite exciting about working on The Tsunami Violin. I've never done a kid’s book before. Community Arts is not like a publishing house that specializes in children’s books. But it was quite exciting to just be like, “Well, let’s figure out how to do this,” exploring all of these ideas. I guess, I think for me, coming into that, I felt like I was breaking new ground creatively, having to think outside of the box that I find it easy to put myself in, having to think more broadly about what could I do and what can we do as a team. Diane Two creative challenges that I remember: the one in particular was when the violin maker looks into the box and visually how to do that and how poor Holly was trying so hard to do this. Verity Yeah, we really messed her up. Diane But anyway, and I think that is an example of where the group working together really helped. The page, I think, is very successful looking. But boy, that was a lot of hard work. Then the other aspect was because this is both in English and Japanese and how when it’s translated into Japanese, the words are longer, takes that much more space. Then again, having to adjust visually for creating more room. Anyway, there are just a lot of challenges along the way. Roger Holly, what do you think about all that as the illustrator of this book? Holly It’s all true! It was hard, but it’s all part of the creative process, is the back and forth and trying to work out how to make it look best. I think for me, it was a challenge because I wouldn’t really consider myself a digital artist, primarily. That’s not really my preferred medium. So this was a new experience for me in that sense. I had done digital work before, but I have very little experience and all self-taught. So that was one learning curve for me. And then the theme of the book being with a violin, but she starts out as a tree. For me, that was another challenge because I haven’t spent much time drawing trees. And so I’m like, Okay, I need to figure out the anatomy of a tree, and not just any tree, but specifically a Japanese pine. So there was a lot of back and forth trying to figure out what style to use and how to translate that into a children’s style. And then when she becomes the violin, coming up with that character design was a lot of fun for me. I had to watch a documentary on how violins are created because that was another thing. I don’t usually draw violins for fun. So that was another challenge to overcome, but it’s so much fun to do. And I think the cat, too, was a lot of fun to incorporate. And I went back and forth a lot with thoughts and ideas of how to design the cat and the bird. But I think what I finally came down to was just designing the cat to look like my cat, especially since I was living in Japan at the time, and my cat was back in America. So it was a fun way to feel connected to my cat. Verity My favorite is at the back when the cat is actually playing the violin. Roger It’s like one of my favorite scenes in the whole book. Holly That was one of my favorites to draw. Roger Actually, to the right of the cat is a young man that looks like Tsumugu to me. I don’t know, Holly, if you were actually looking at a picture of Tsumugu at the time, but it looks really like him. So that makes me happy. Verity Your moment of fame, Tsumugu. Tsumugu Yes, just happy to make a cameo in the book. Verity Yeah, you’re not getting any commission for this, by the way. We’re just using your image. Tsumugu That’s fine. I give full consent. Verity How generous. Actually, one of the things that I really like that you did, Holly, is the illustration of the tsunami. And that was something that we went back and forth on quite a lot. But there’s a scene in the book where the tsunami first appears, and it’s quite scary. I’m holding up a picture for these guys. It’s supposed to be quite a scary moment of this huge wave towering on the horizon. We went back and forth a lot on how to… First of all, how to make it look scary, but also should this tsunami be sentient? Should it be anthropomorphic the way that the tree and the violin are? We ended up settling on a design that references the Great Wave, the Hokusai famous woodprint. I think that it’s a really effective image as a result because it’s a very clear reference. The image in the Great Wave is also tsunami, I think. But then I think it’s interesting to how that connects people who aren’t as familiar with Japan and with Japanese culture because it’s such an internationally recognized image. I was speaking in front of a church on Sunday and I showed them the cover. People came up to me at the end and they were like, Oh, yeah, the wave. We reused the image in a composite with some other illustrations on the cover. And people were like, Oh, yeah, the wave is really cool. They remembered the connection with the great wave. And I feel like it’s just an interesting way of how you can connect with different audiences through those visual references. Holly Yeah, I agree. I’m so glad that people recognized it and saw that that was the inspiration. That panel was so challenging because I didn’t want to do a direct copy of the Hokusai wave, but I definitely wanted to draw inspiration from it. And it’s also the angle that it’s at, the wave is coming right at you. And I think that adds to make it scarier, make it more frightening for readers because it’s like, Oh, the wave is coming directly at me, off the page in a sense. But typically when you see illustrations of waves, like when I was looking for references, there are no pictures of waves coming directly at you. It’s always at some angle. And so that was something that took a lot of time to figure out, Okay, how do I interpret this into a visual representation of just this? But I’m really happy with how it turned out and happy for all of your guys’ input. Roger When I’ve shown that image to beta readers, they’re like, wow. I mean, wow. They were just speechless because it’s just so effective. But my favorite image is the one where you only did the two big eyes, where she’s at the low point of her life. She’s lost everything, and now she’s been cut up, and she’s thrown in this box, and doesn’t know where she’s going. The way you’re able to express all of that in just the two eyes, I think, is so effective. When I’ve been showing it to people, that’s always the page I show first. Like, look at these eyes. They’re like, oh, it’s just so cool. In this whole medium of children’s illustrated art, how you’re not trying to be literal. You can through the medium, through the language of children’s art, you can tell something in different ways. I think just looking at the eyes tells the whole story. Holly That’s so funny that’s your favorite page because that was the easiest one to do. That was one of the things in the character design for me that it’s so important, the eyes, because that’s what people are going to look at the most and what’s really going to bring the character to life. So I spent a lot of time trying to design those eyes and the eyelashes specifically, I was inspired by the F hole on the violin, so you could see that on the eyelashes of the character. But I thought that that was a fun little thing to add. Diane Holly, I was wondering about the colors that you chose. I love the colors in the book. Just what was your hope or thinking behind how you chose your colors? Holly I feel like it was really a team effort choosing the colors. But then, of course, some of the colors just come naturally. Because this is based on a true story, I was pulling colors a lot from just the reference images, but then trying to brighten them to make it more visually pleasing and more exciting for children. And all readers. But it was really interesting how naturally a palette came to be. It was a lot of browns and blues and greens, and just looking at them all side by side, it was like, yeah, there’s definitely a clear palette. But that came about really naturally, which was cool. Roger Yeah. Verity I have the actual physical book with me now, and the colors feel very alive. So it’s really nice to see it. Very vibrant. Tsumugu Nice. Can I talk a bit about the audience? I find it really interesting that you picked a children’s book as the medium to publish this because people who are older than teenagers would have experienced or would have seen the tsunami. But children, the target audience for this book, are people who’ve never experienced. They haven’t seen the tsunami. Roger They weren’t alive when it happened. Tsumugu Yeah, exactly. I think it’s so interesting that you picked children to spread this story and this message. I feel like it’s a good way for them to learn about the tsunami as well as the aftermath of what happened. Also, especially for international audiences, I feel like it might be something that is so far away and so detached from them, but there’s still such a powerful story in the aftermath of it. Roger Yeah, the violin maker, he met with the Emperor himself, and the Emperor said, “Oh, I’m so glad that you’re doing this because people are going to forget, and they need to remember what happened.” And that is essentially what his project, the violin, tsunami violin, continues to do, and that’s what we’re trying to do through this. Diane I was telling one of my Japanese friends that this was in the middle of the project, and I’m working on this project. She’s Japanese, and she had no idea about the tsunami violin. She didn’t know what it was. So I explained the story. She just looked at me and said, This is such an important story. This is part of our history. We’ve got to keep it alive. That was her reaction to the whole thing. Verity I think that it’s interesting. Perhaps we haven’t talked about this as a group, but it’s interesting to think about how this being a real event that really shapes people’s lives, all of the tragedy. And also, I feel like shapes the Japanese consciousness as well. I feel like it’s very much something in the minds and hearts of Japanese people. When we think about going through such a traumatic event, even as children, when children go through traumatic events, then there is this process of not being able to go back to what you were before. So experiencing something that is irreversible and coming out of that as a changed person. And that’s what happens to the tsunami violin is that the story is of her, not like she’s able to go back to the way she was when she was a happy and innocent child, but that she goes through something and she becomes something beautiful and something recognized by other people, but that she’s not able to go back to the way that she was. I feel like that’s actually a realistic view of trauma. I think that that’s quite a good thing to acknowledge, even for children, that just because you go through something doesn’t mean that you’re irreversibly broken, but that you can become something else. Roger Yeah, so good. I think we better end our time here. Thank you all so much for sharing with me and with our listeners. It’s just really a special project. We are excited to be able to launch it to all of you on November 24, and I hope that you’ll be able to pass it on to your friends as well. This story of redemption in a way that I think can reach audiences in any culture, any country, is just so important and we need to be repeating this story to others as well. You’ve been listening to the Art, Life, Faith podcast. The Tsunami Violin is available for sale on November 24 wherever you buy your books online. Please pick up a copy for yourselves and tell your family and friends about it as well. In fact, maybe it will also make a great Christmas present. As we say in Japan, “Ja, mata ne!” We’ll see you next time. BUY “THE TSUNAMI VIOLIN”

LW1479 - Photography Lessons from Japanese Woodblock Prints I've been an admirer of Japanese woodblock prints (known as ukiyo-e) for quite some time now. Everyone is familiar, for example, with Hokusai's image The Great Wave Off Kanagawa from his project 36 Views of Mount Fuji. One of the things that's fascinating about these artists' work is how many times they did numbered series, e.g. 53 Stages of the Tokaido by Hiroshige, or one of my all-time favorites, 100 Aspects of the Moon by Yoshitoshi. There's a great deal to learn that we can adapt to photography about working in series.

Collecting mokuhanga has never been easier. You no longer need to visit galleries as often; you can purchase prints online from anywhere in the world, all from the comfort of your own home. But you'd be doing yourself a disservice to stop there. Seeing prints in person at galleries is a wonderful experience — it allows you to get up close to the work, to see what your potential investment looks like under the lights, and to speak with the people who work in the galleries and collections, who can help guide you toward the right decision. One such gallery is in Tokyo and New York and has a long history of showcasing wonderful contemporary prints — from mokuhanga and aquatint to lithography and other mediums. The Tolman Collection Tokyo, located in the Shibadaimon district of Minato, Tokyo, has been operating for over 50 years and enjoys a strong reputation both in Japan and around the world. In this episode of The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast, I speak with Allison Tolman of The Tolman Collection Tokyo. We discuss how the gallery began — from the hope and a dream of Allison's parents, Mary and Norman Tolman, who built a life and a    business in a new country, to their friendships with many of the most important printmakers of their time. Allison shares why prints remain so vital today, emphasizing their democratic nature. She also discusses the differences between contemporary printmakers in Japan and those in the West, as well as the unique experiences of selling prints in Tokyo versus at The Tolman Collection in New York.

Originating around 1915 under the direction of Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962), the art form responded to the foreign demand for "traditional" Japanese imagery. Shin hanga artists focused on motifs like castles, bridges, famous landscapes, and bamboo forests. The style was initiated when Watanabe discovered Austrian artist Fritz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned him to design prints for Watanabe's budding printing house. This collaboration led to the evolution of shin hanga into a distinctive new style of Japanese woodblock printing. The shin hanga movement thrived until its inevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). Shōzaburō Watanabe (1885-1962) - was one of the most important print publishers in Japan in the early 20th Century. His business acumen and desire to preserve the ukiyo-e tradition were incredibly influential for the artists and collectors in Japan and those around the world. Watanabe influenced other publishers, but his work in the genre is unparalleled. The shin-hanga (new print) movement is Watanabe's, collecting some of the best printers, carvers and designers to work for him.

Before Monet painted water lilies or Degas sketched ballerinas, a wave was crashing in from the East. In this episode, we explore how Japanese woodblock prints—especially Hokusai's ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa'—reshaped the way Western artists thought about space, subject, and form. From flattened perspective to everyday scenes, ukiyo-e wasn't just decorative—it was revolutionary. We'll unpack the rise of Japonisme, its deep (and sometimes uneasy) influence on Impressionism, and how one iconic wave helped turn the tide of art history. Today's image: Katsushika Hokusai, ‘Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura),' (1830-32). Woodblock print; ink and color on paper.

This week: the Los Angeles wildfires.

The World Monuments Fund (WMF), the independent organisation devoted to safeguarding global heritage has released its biennial World Monuments Watch, a list of 25 sites that are potentially threatened. The aim of the list is, according to the WMF to “mobilise action, build public awareness, and demonstrate how heritage can help communities confront the crucial issues of our time”. Ben Luke talks to John Darlington, the director of projects for WMF Britain, who also reflects on the future of the organisation's project to train Syrian refugees in stonemasonry skills, in the wake of the change in government in Syria. And this episode's Work of the Week is All About Painting in Colour: An Illustrated Book, a portfolio in two volumes made by the leading artist of the late Edo period in Japan, Katsushika Hokusai. The last of his drawing manuals, made by the artist at the very end of his life, it features in a new book, Hokusai's Method. We talk to Ryoko Matsuba, one of the authors of the new book.Hokusai's Method, with texts by Kyoko Wada and Ryoko Matsuba, is published by Thames and Hudson.

Μαριλένα: [0:38] Α, ναι. Γεια σας, παιδιά! Είμαι η Μαριλένα του Easy... Ε, έφυγε και η βέρα. Είμαι η Μαριλένα τoυ Easy Greek! Μετά από καιρό πίσω στο στούντιο μαζί με τον Δημήτρη. Δημήτρης: [0:53] Πώς το λένε στα ιαπωνικά... είναι μια λέξη που μ' αρέσει πολύ. «Hisashiburi». Μαριλένα: [1:00] Α, ξεκινήσαμε! Τι είναι το «Hisashiburi»; Δημήτρης: [1:05] Σημαίνει «σαν τα χιόνια», κάπως έτσι. Καιρό έχουμε να τα πούμε. Μαριλένα: [1:08] Α, οκέι! Τέλεια. Δημήτρη, γιατί έχουμε τόσο καιρό να κάνουμε podcast; Πού ήσουνα; Τι έκανες; Δημήτρης: [1:16] Κοίτα. Έγινε ένα μπέρδεμα γενικά. Το podcast που 'χαμε βγάλει το τελευταίο που ήτανε για τους κήπους (α!) που είχα πει ότι θα έβγαινε όσο ήμουνα στο Κιότο, τελικά δεν βγήκε όσο ήμουνα στο Κιότο, γιατί έγινε μια βλακεία και δεν πήρα μαζί μου τη μέρα που έφυγα τα αρχεία του podcast, οπότε... και δεν κατάφερες να μου τα στείλεις εσύ, οπότε έπρεπε να το βγάλω τώρα που γύρισα, χτες γύρισα από την Ιαπωνία... (Τι ωραία!), όπως αναφέραμε την τελευταία φορά. Ναι, ήμουνα στη Ιαπωνία δύο εβδομάδες, γύρισα σήμερα... ε, όχι σήμερα, γύρισα χθες. Για την υπόλοιπη απομαγνητοφώνηση, γίνετε μέλη μας!
