Podcasts about Ichikawa

Welcome to the Art, Life, Faith Podcast, and I’m your host, Roger Lowther. This week on March 11, 2026, we remember the 15th anniversary of that terrible earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster that struck the northeast coast of Japan. In memory of that event, last month, we had a big gathering within JEMA, which is the Japan Evangelical Missionary Alliance, the organization that represents every missionary and every mission organization in Japan. We all met in our new church space, Grace City Church Tokyo’s space and spent three days looking at the earthquakes and floods since 2011 and trying to see what we could learn from them and prepare for the next one. Some of the stories that they told were actually quite funny. There was a group that came to mud-out a house. The seawater had gone clear up to the ceiling, and so the walls and the insulation were all soaked and full of mildew. But this group, instead of starting with the ceiling and then the walls, and then the floor, started with the floor. They not only removed the floors but cut through the beams and very foundations of the house. Well, that next team that came in to take out the walls, first had to fix the foundations and then put the floors back before they could work on the rest of the house. And so, at the gathering, they were talking about the need for someone who can lead groups who actually knows what they’re doing. And hopefully, knows a little something about how a house is built. Basically, the problem that kept coming up over and over again during the course of the gathering was that the Church of Japan felt like they had to start from scratch every single time a disaster happened. They needed to try to find new resources: new people, new networks, new money. And so to that end, recently, a new network was formed called Zenkisai, which is the Christian National Disaster Network. And little by little, it’s growing. And also, after this past earthquake, the Noto Earthquake, within Mission to the World, I led a committee to form a disaster relief project account that is for every disaster in Japan, not just for one. When that next disaster comes, we will be ready to receive your help. I’ve put the details for that in the show notes for this episode. So now, through this project account, we can receive funds that will be used to buy food, water, supplies, and also cover costs of sending groups of Japanese people to the disaster area from our churches in Japan. And also very important, we will be able to pay Japanese workers to aid in the relief effort. That next disaster is coming. We know it is, but we’re doing what we can to plan for it. Anyway, before we move on to two conversations I had with people at the gathering, I want to let you all know about a sale coming up. On March 11, on the 15th anniversary of the earthquake, for one day only, all of the ebooks I’ve written about the earthquake will be available for $0.99 on Amazon in the US, and just 100 yen on Amazon in Japan. This includes both children’s books, “The Tsunami Violin” and “Pippy the Piano and the Very Big Wave”, in English and in Japanese. The sale also includes another book I wrote called “Aroma of Beauty”, with a beautiful foreword by Makoto Fujimura. Personally, I think you should get the book just to read what he wrote, his experiences after 9/11. And by the way, we also have an exhibit going on in our church space with “The Tsunami Violin”, showcasing the beautiful artwork by the very talented Holly Rose Wallace, as another way that our church community is remembering the people and towns affected by the disaster. A big thank you to all of you who’ve already bought all three of these books and left reviews. Thank you so much. Okay, now let’s turn to my conversation with Dean Bengston. Roger We are here at the JEMA Gathering (Japan Evangelical Missionary Alliance), spending three days talking about disaster relief and trying to prepare for the next disaster. There’s been quite a few ways that many of us here in this room have been involved over the past. But, Dean, I really wanted to talk with you. You moved into a disaster area soon after the 2011 earthquake. Can you tell us a little bit about who you are? Dean I am with the Lutheran Brotherhood Mission in Japan. We were living in Sendai at the time, and through a number of circumstances, we ended up connecting with Abe-san in Ishinomaki and delivering necessary goods. We soon realized there were a lot more needs and started mudding-out houses. I commuted from Sendai for a year and 10 months before we moved. Roger I have very fond memories of a concert that we gave in that home you started up there. Can you tell us a little bit about how arts played a role in your ministry there? Dean I think early on, we realized that people needed healing in many ways. And we had a friend, Shizu-san, who’s a singer-songwriter, and we invited her to come. She wanted to come to mud-out houses, but we said, Shizu-san, you have to come and sing and minister to people through song, that people need healing, and music brings healing. And so she reluctantly agreed to do a concert in an open space, a lot that we were using for gatherings for takedashi cookouts. Shizu had lived in Ishinomaki in her junior high years, but she explained to people, I don’t know how to really sympathize with you. So she started by singing songs that everybody knew, old Japanese songs. And after several songs and people singing along, she said, Well, I just like to sing a song that I wrote. Singing old Japanese songs or popular songs that people knew drew people in. And then they opened the door for her to sing songs that she’s written and to share a part of her life and her faith in a very natural way. Roger Do you feel like that was surprising to her or to the people in the room that it had the impact that it did? Dean I don’t really know, but all I know is I think for several musicians, it changed their ministry so that even when they were doing concerts in churches, they moved from doing all “Christian” music to actually starting out their concerts with songs that people maybe knew. And Kosaka Chu is really good at this. He could share a testimony and weave it in with that there’s somebody loves you, and he would just sing a song about love, and then he’d share about God and how he loves you. I don't know, I think it changed people’s lives. An awful lot of musicians volunteered, and they were well received. So we really appreciated it. We’ve had a lot of concerts. Roger Yes, you sure have. What was the name of the house that you were… Dean House of Hope or Kibou no Ie. Roger And how often were you having concerts there? Dean At least once a month. But before House of Hope, we were having them outside in empty lots, empty parking lots that we were using or empty house lots that we were using. Then we moved into the community center and had several concerts in the community center and very varying concerts. Everything from a Hawaiian Luau to gospel choirs to vcontemporary singers, and Roger, you on organ, and also the koto. Roger Right, the koto player, Chieko. Dean Yeah, that was beautiful. And we have a small place, so people were just enamored with being able to be so close to the koto and watch the keys on the organ. And also, wasn’t there a flute? Roger I was trying to remember if it was flute or violin or something. Dean Flute, I think. Roger It was so moving for me to be there and see the people… I mean, it wasn’t like background music. Everybody was so focused on what we were doing and interacting with us. It really was a moving time. Dean I think music has played a big part in bringing healing to people. Roger Tell us a little bit about your son. He’s a visual artist. Dean Yeah, he was actually starting art school, but it got delayed because of the earthquake. And so he volunteered with us at the beginning. And then he was able to, because he speaks English fluently, he was able to not take English and got Fridays off. So he volunteered for the first semester every day, every week on Fridays with us. And through that, he did one project, a byobu folding screen made out of cell phone parts. Roger Cell phone parts? Dean Yeah, the old flip phones. And there was a farmer who’s a small farmer in our neighborhood with a cell phone factory next to it. Now, as the waters came in, it drove all the parts of the cell phones into his ground, and we cleaned out his field. Joshua also did a number of things. He made paint from the muck and did some paintings with that. Roger Wait, I don’t understand. It was out of mud? Dean Yeah, out of the muck, he created paint. Roger No, I didn’t see that work. Dean Yeah. Actually, most of his art shows are interactive. He’s an interesting character because he always wished that he could touch paintings when he was a kid. So he did one show where he had all the paintings hanging at different levels, and you could walk around and touch them because they were all at touching level. So usually, his art shows are interactive. Roger Well, the cell phone project, that wasn’t just him looking for pieces. Wasn’t it collaborative in some way? Asking for people to bring in things? Dean Oh, that was a different project. He’s had a lot of different shows. Roger But just that way, too, of inviting people in, whether it’s volunteers who are there or people in neighborhood, too, is another connection point through the arts. I thought that was such an important message. Thank you so much for sharing. So Dean and his family were one of the many who moved into the disaster area after the earthquake. And every time I visited up there, I loved seeing the trust built with the community and the ways they were accepted. They were not seen as outsiders. And they're still there now, 15 years later. Okay, so I also want to introduce you to Stephen Nakahashi. He was one of the young men who answered the call to help in the disaster area shortly after the earthquake. So this big organization, Samaritan’s Purse, came in not only with a lot of supplies, but with money to hire workers. And a call went out across the nation of Japan to send them people who could work full-time. Steven was one who answered that call, along with a lot of other young people. My wife’s sister, Virginia, also moved up there as a missionary through Mission to the World as she had just graduated from college. And there was Ryo and Mami Amano, Jordan Foxwell, and so many others that went up there as well. And eventually, through their work, Ishinomaki Christian Center was started. Also, in a past episode, Episode #43, we talked with Rachel Reese Kollmeyer who also came as a missionary through Mission to the World. She is a very gifted violinist and worked with the others to teach and perform and help with the children’s music clubs and a gospel choir for kids and the annual arts festival and so much else. They also had craft-making with the kids. I was particularly moved by a musical that one of the students wrote inspired by all this, and then worked with us for the production of their musical. After the earthquake, it was especially hard for the children. The men, whose livelihood had been the coast, now had long commutes to work in other places, and the women had to go to work as well. Not only did the kids not have their parents around as much, but they also didn’t have as many resources available to them as before. The parks were gone. Many school programs had shut down. And so they did what they could to help the children dream again. And so many relationships came out of that time. Now let’s hear from Stephen. Roger So, Stephen, thank you so much for taking this time to talk with me. This is the Art, Life, Faith Podcast, and with the 15th anniversary of the 2011 earthquake, I wanted to talk a little bit about the role that the arts played in the relief effort. But before we do that, please introduce yourself. Stephen Thank you for having me. My name is Stephen Nakahashi, a pastor’s kid. I grew up in Japan from the age of 11. Prior to that, I lived in Scotland with my family. So I’ve been in Japan for 33 years and counting. I became involved in disaster relief from 2011 with Samaritan’s Purse and then I subsequently started working with Ishinomaki Christian Center and lived in Tohoku for 14 years. And currently, I am serving with Noto Help in the Hokuriku region since 2024. Roger So, you were just in a panel discussion here. You’ve had quite a few experiences with disasters. Can you list them in order with earthquake and floods by year? Stephen Okay, 2011 was the earthquake and tsunami in Tohoku. Then the 2016 earthquake in Kumamoto. Then heavy rain and flooding in Kumamoto in 2020, just south in Hitoyoshi. And then in 2021, there was again heavy rain and flooding in Saga Prefecture, north of Nagasaki. And then in 2022, there was flooding again in Aomori, in the northern part of Japan, which was a bit of a surprise as that has not happened before. And then in 2023, there was again heavy rain and flooding in Akita, again in the north. All of those happened in the summer of those years. And then in 2024, on the first of January, was the earthquake on the Noto Peninsula. Roger And then after you were brought in, I know you went in giving advice, helping in any way you could, but then you moved there. Stephen I did, yeah. Roger And you’ve been there for a year and three months. Stephen Yeah, that was a big decision for us. It was mainly driven by the importance of my family to be together. For 10 months, I had commuted from Miyagi to Noto. I would be down there for two or three weeks before going back home for a week or so and then repeat. So that became quite difficult, and we thought it’d be important for our family to be together. Roger Yeah, I was able to go twice to Noto Help while you were working there. We were in this big room with, I don’t know, maybe there were 60 volunteers or so broken up into four or five groups. You’re introducing, “Okay, here’s what we’re going to do today. This group is going to do that. This group is going to do that.” You were the man in charge, telling everyone what was going to happen. For some, maybe it was their first disaster, and they don’t know what’s going on, but you gave them this assurance, “It’s going to be okay. Your driver is going to get you there safely. They’re going to bring you back. We’re going to serve the Lord in this way.” Really was a powerful experience. Stephen Really? I’m glad you thought so. Roger I think one of the interesting things about the Noto Help situation was how, those who are listening probably don’t even know this, the roads were really hurt by the earthquake. Basically, transportation was almost shut down. Finally, when they were able to open up the roads, they made one road to go up north, one road to come back. It used to be a two-way road, and they made it a one-way road. A police blockade stopped anyone from going because it was bottlenecking the whole peninsula, so y'all became the entrance point for working throughout the whole region. Was that a big responsibility? People contacting from all over the country and all over the world to wanting to help? Stephen Yeah, I think it was really a tricky balance to maintain. We really understood how much people wanted to help, and we knew how important that was for the recovery as well. So we wanted to make sure that we were not getting in the way of first responders, like ambulances or any vehicles like that. It did seem like it would be wise to try to, as a Christian community, to be responsible for that. So we were glad we could help in that way. Roger Let’s back up to 2011. The 15th anniversary is coming up, and so many memories. I mean, Community Arts Tokyo, this organization, was started through the experiences of that. When I was in the shelters in that disaster, in the chaos, and in the anguish, the anxiety people are feeling, and saw how the arts brought healing, to see how they brought comfort, how they helped us build relationships. During a time when people are saying, “We don’t need goods. We don’t need the food and water. We’re good.” And yet there was still an entry point, a way to connect through the arts. And I, experiencing the power of that, I wanted to bring that back to Tokyo. So we started Community Arts Tokyo, building community through the arts in Tokyo. But it was experiencing that with you up in Ishinomaki, in the Tohoku area, that was my first connection to it. I was just wondering, I’d love to hear your memories of that. As you look back and think about those times, what could you do to help me process that and those who are listening to try to understand, especially as artists, what role they can play in a disaster relief situation? Stephen I remember fondly the time that we ran the Junior High School Kids program in Ishinomaki, and I really could connect with those kids over a longer period of time. Where we taught the kids at the local junior high schools for three months from April through July. And then we had the Ishinomaki Gospel Festival. So there was a goal of something beyond just practicing, but to actually have a stage at the end of it for the kids to perform and experience something different. And the catch copy, so to speak, was for the kids to be able “to dream again.” And yeah, in the midst of the devastation at the time, there were lots of kids whose parents were really struggling with the aftermath of the earthquake. In Ishinomaki, especially, there was a lot of parents, the dads of the family who are fishermen, often were gone for a long time. But then post-disaster, the mothers also started working, and the kids didn’t really have anywhere to be or to go. And they didn’t really have that sense of looking forward to something. I think that played a really important role in helping some of those kids at the time to experience something new. Roger I loved those gospel festivals because it was like the whole town was coming together for all the businesses. There were stalls so they could offer food or whatever they made. On a personal note, I also loved giving organ concerts outside. I brought my portable organ up there and I’m playing, and I don’t get to play outside very much as an organist, so that was really fun. Stephen Yeah, that was really an amazing combination of the local people coming with their stalls and then so many different artists coming to serve and to play. We also had a play area for kids, because a lot of the parks had been damaged, there was really not many safe places for kids to play. So that was another aspect that we added to it. So the kids could enjoy something different. It was an amazing coming together of communities through music and through the arts. Roger It definitely was. Thank you so much for all the work you put into those. You were in Ishinomaki right after the disaster and for a long time afterward. And then Ishinomaki Christian Center started. And as I understand it, part of the vision for that was to be a meeting place for creating community. People had their own homes. They had their food and water. But still, that community building aspect was an important part of what was needed to help people recover. Now you had a spot to do it. You had the land. You had the building. I really enjoyed being able to come up, not as often as I wanted to, but when I did, to hear, what the situation was then and how people were doing. And to see you building that community, especially right where that building was. It almost felt like a wasteland from the first couple of years of my memory of that spot. Now it’s a thriving place. It was right next to the train station. When you look back, how would you put it in your own words? Stephen As we were just talking about today, if you approach the situation with the mentality of being the caregiver and then people receiving care, and especially in a physical way, once that need is no longer there, then the relationship also ends there. Music and the arts in many ways is something that we don’t always realize that we need. And it’s a really good way to bring the community together, even after the physical needs are met and people don’t really need those types of support. But whether it be a disaster or not, and all the more so after a disaster, the people in the community were going through a lot of uncertainty. Opportunities often provided by music and different means of the arts has provided the opportunity to continue to build relationships with people. That was really important to continue the relationships with the people that we had come to know. Roger Are you seeing that now in Ichikawa, on the Noto Peninsula, where you’re living now? Is that part of the vision? I know a lot of people ended up moving away. And you were sharing in the panel how a lot of the older people living there are being encouraged by their children to leave and move in with them. They’re answering, “No, this is our home.” But there’s a lot of resistance against rebuilding their homes, rebuilding their towns. What is your vision for that and how do you see the arts playing a role? Stephen I think so. I think as we move into the phase of that physical need not being so much of a need. And we are now reaching out into the temporary housing unit communities, and we are trying to build those relationships with the people. And so definitely, I think from this year onward, and even to this point, there’s a role for the arts to play in this phase. One of the challenges in Noto is that unlike maybe in Tohoku, a lot of the temporary housing unit communities are quite small, and sometimes they don’t really even have a gathering place. If they do, it can only house maybe 10 to 15 people. So it’s hard to reach people in that way. But yeah, I think now that we do have a center in Anamizu that hopefully we can start to connect to people more there. And we look forward to being able to coordinate people coming along. Roger Thank you. Well, I look forward to our next trip. Maybe we’ll bring some artists this summer. Stephen Yes, definitely. I look forward to it. Roger Thank you. Thank you so much. Stephen You’re welcome. Thank you. You’ve been listening to the Art, Life, Faith Podcast. And don't forget to pick up your own copy of “The Tsunami Violin”, “Pippy the Piano”, and “Aroma of Beauty”. As we say in Japan, “Ja, mata ne!” We’ll see you next time.

Saou Ichikawa was born in 1979. Diagnosed in childhood with congenital myopathy, a rare disease that causes muscle weakness, and has used a ventilator since age 14. Graduated in March 2023 from Waseda University's School of Human Sciences correspondence program.

Her debut novel “Hunchback” won the 169th Akutagawa Prize in July 2023. Her most recent book, to be published in September 2025 is “A Girl's Spine”. "Coexistence" is a word used in a variety of contexts, including the global environment, living things, and different cultures, but as a simple search for "coexistence society" reveals, in Japan it is a word that should primarily be used to consider the inclusion of people with disabilities. Japan, in particular, is the country where the horrific Sagamihara Massacre, a mass murder of disabled people, took place. If the meaning and obligation of using the word "symbiosis" in our country since that incident never crossed the minds of the planners and approvers of the Asahi Earth Conference 2024, then beyond feeling disappointed, I'm left with the suspicion that some more serious issue lies between "me" and you. By "me," I mean Ichikawa Saou.” Episode notes: ‘Akutagawa Prize Winning Author with Disabilities, Saou Ichikawa, Offers View on ‘Co-existence' in Japan': https://barrierfreejapan.com/2025/09/14/akutagawa-prize-winning-author-with-disabilities-saou-ichikawa-offers-view-on-co-existence-in-japan/ '女の子の背骨'/'A Girl's Spine' (To Be Released 26 September 2025): https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/女の子の背骨-市川-沙央/dp/4163920218/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.q_315cnhrTy1Zjrjd1zrbOQwXP-UJLt70rKPpxg3R8PGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.8JMjqZY9dmkTcTHCzcIwRX7YIecMh5m2a5lTa_gyKY8&qid=1757856265&sr=8-1

In this episode of Books, Baby!, Ian, Bev, and Alo dive into Saou Ichikawa's haunting novel Hunchback. With its fragmented storytelling and stark lyricism, the book offers an unflinching look at the intersections of embodiment, shame, desire, and intimacy. The hosts unpack how Ichikawa captures the vulnerability of inhabiting a body that exists outside of societal ideals, while also carving out space for tenderness and connection.Their discussion highlights the way Hunchback brings disabled experiences and desires into focus, expanding what is often represented in contemporary literature in translation.Books mentioned in this episode:​When the cranes fly south - Lisa Ridzén​They came to slay: The Queer culture of D&D - Thom James Carter​The las one - Fatima Daas​The white book - Han Kang​Pink Slime - Fernanda Trías ​Audition - Katie Kitamura​The land in winter - Andrew Miller​Flashlight - Susan Choi​Universality - Natasha Brown​Intimacies - Katie Katamura​Tokyo Ueno Station - Miri YuButter - Asako YuzikiNot such thing as an easy job - Kikuko TsumaraJust by looking at him - Ryan O'ConnellConnect with us via email (⁠booksbabypod@gmail.com⁠) and on Instagram!Books, Baby! – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@booksbabypod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hosts:Ian – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@bookish_ian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bev – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@booksgonewilde⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alo – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@books.swallows.universe⁠⁠⁠⁠

His main research areas are epistemology, philosophy of language, feminist philosophy, and ethics. He is particularly interested in connecting theoretical questions about the nature and significance of knowledge to moral, practical, andpolitical questions, e.g. questions about structural oppression, rape culture, and the like. He is the author of Epistemic Courage. In this episode, we focus on Epistemic Courage. We first talk about the ethics of belief and virtue epistemology. We explore what bad belief is, the negative bias, justification of belief, pragmatic and moral encroachment, and epistemic faith. We then delve into epistemic courage, and the example of testimony and rape culture. We talk about epistemic contextualism. Finally, we discuss how to approach misinformation and conspiracy theories.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In dieser Folge mit Robin, Anika und Meike: „Märtyrer!“ von Kaveh Akbar, „Happiness Falls“ von Angie Kim und „Hunchback“ von Saou Ichikawa. So schnell wird man den nicht los: Nach diversen moralischen Grenzüberschreitungen wollte der Verlag Kiepenheuer & Witsch die Zusammenarbeit mit Rammstein-Sänger Till Lindemann beenden. Das Landgericht Köln hat da nicht zugestimmt, und wir erklären, wieso. Außerdem im Nachrichtenblock: Zeit-Kritiker Ijoma Mangold analysiert gehirntote Memes, als wären sie Hochkultur, und die Stadtbücherei Münster bleibt stabil.

EPISODE #446-- We return from Spring Break and mark the end of Black History Month with a journey back into our BS. That's right, we're talking a Yukio Mishima adaptation from the Golden Age of Japanese Cinema. Today we're rapping about Kon Ichikawa's CONFLAGRATION (1958), a beautiful look into post-War masculinity, obsession, disability, and religion. Good episode of a great movie. We also talk about WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL (2025), RUNAWAY JURY (RIP Gene Hackman), THE TERMINATOR, HBO's THE PITT, Amazon's REACHER, and another Ichikawa banger, FIRES ON THE PLAIN.

EPISODE #445-- Once more into the breech for Black History Month. Today Cruz and James attempt to understand the impressionistic, indie cult horror classic, GANJA & HESS from 1973.  We also mourn the passing of Gene Hackman, talking about THE FRENCH CONNECTION (1971), as well as Kon Ichikawa's THE BURMESE HARP (Cruz has been on an Ichikawa kick-- we can't blame him).

Barrier Free Japan found a copy of ‘Hunchback' by Saou Ichikawa in the Osaka Umeda branch of Kinokuniya. I have been looking forward to reading this. Saou Ichikawa's ‘Hunchback' won the Akutagawa Prize in 2023. I would love to meet Saou Ichikawa. As people with disabilities we are not meant to use terms like ‘inspires', but as a fellow person with disabilities, she 'inspires' me to write fiction about having a disability in Japan - Ichikawa has congenital myopathy. ‘Hunchback' (Amazon JP): https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Saou-Ichikawa/dp/0241700787/ref=sr_1_1?crid=YWLMGXWX9HX0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tviLY6Hihc9Wld73kSNFDNgIMyu95jzmtY1FHVvoFbo.O-ev19sX2ziT9J5aBh6OU0KTipw5EKycw-KkJEItoZw&dib_tag=se&keywords=hunchback+saou+ichikawa&qid=1741701309&sprefix=%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-1

In this episode, I sit down with love attraction coach Shannon Ichikawa to explore the journey of finding lasting love at different life stages. We discuss how dating in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond differs, along with the unique challenges faced by widows, divorced women, and those who have never been married. Shannon shares powerful insights on overcoming "love blocks," the role of self-love in attracting the right partner, and practical strategies for making meaningful connections. Whether you're re-entering the dating scene or looking to deepen your understanding of love attraction, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and empowered to open your heart to new possibilities.   My NEW BOOK 'The Sprinkle Effect' is now available HEREJoin Debbie's free Maybe I Can Facebook Community HERE

The woke agenda is being pushed into every aspect of society. Ridiculous programs are allowing criminals to essentially pick the gender of prison they want to go to. Male rapists and sex offenders can simply identify as a woman and be placed in a women's prison while the women inmates are being raped, beaten and have no privacy as they are placed in cells with men. Amie Ichikawa, formerly a woman inmate in California's penal system exposes the corruption from inside the walls and explains step by step what women prisoners are enduring in today's ‘clown world.'Follow Amie: https://www.womaniiwoman.org/----------------------------------SPONSORS FOR THIS VIDEO❤️ Cardio Miracle - Boost your energy, help support your immune system, and improve your mental clarity-plus use promo code GRIT and save 10% on your order https://cardiomiracle.myshopify.com/discount/GRIT

This week, we are over the moon to share with you our very special guest: LEAH WILLIAMS! The iconic writer of X-Factor, Power Girl, and next week's Gotham City Sirens sat down with us to share one of her all time favorites: LAND OF THE LUSTROUS by Haruko Ichikawa! It's a genre-defying epic that is part magical girl, part coming-of-age, part body horror, and all heart. it has this expansive and ambitious worldbuilding, with a mythose that sucks you in and exponentially amps up the tension.  

Talking about chapter 17 to 58 in this episode! Next week, we'll be catching up to the rest of the series and talking about where the story is currently. 

Irene o Irene Saki, nació en Japón, concretamente en Ichikawa de donde también es su madre. Allí pasó los primeros años de su vida hasta que, llegada la adolescencia, su familia se trasladó a la capital aragonesa, lugar natal de su padre. Desde entonces y de manera natural, Irene ha vivido entre estos dos mundos tan dispares, entendiendo e interiorizando de forma natural dos culturas totalmente diferentes. Y es por ello que es sin duda una de las mejores personas para acompañarnos en llevar a cabo una verdadera inmersión en el país nipón. No sólo nos ayudará con el idioma, a leer el jeroglífico que supone el plano del metro de Tokio o saber qué te estás llevando a la boca, sino a entender el choque cultural tan tremendo al que nos vamos a enfrentar. Además, Irene también es una amante de la Naturaleza y de las actividades al aire y por eso con ella no sólo recorreremos el Japón más icónico, sino también esos rincones de naturaleza alejados de turismo. La encontraremos sumergiéndonos en el Japón más rural y salvaje pero también será nuestro refugio en las grandes ciudades adentrándonos en bellos jardines o bosques de bambú. Y lo haremos de forma activa, sin palizas, pero sí en movimiento, con caminatas fáciles de un día, paseos urbanos en bici o rutas de cicloturismo asequibles para todas y con la facilidad de disponer de bicicletas eléctricas. Una no se puede ir de Japón sin experimentar ese Pulchrum es Sacrum (lo bello es sagrado) y es que el culto a la belleza de la naturaleza es pieza clave para entender el país nipón. Además para asegurarnos de que sí o sí lo vas a experimentar nos vamos en dos momentos clave: La Primavera y el Otoño. Pero no te cuento más, dale al play y que te lo cuente Irene, tu guía para visitar Japón con Hacia lo Salvaje. Más información en: http://hacialosalvaje.net/

It's Review Season, and in 13th place, we've positioned several of Japan's most renowned creative houses, with both film adaptations of ‘The Inugami Clan'. Author Seishi Yokomizo continues to haunt japanese mystery fiction, with spinoffs and adaptations of his leading detective, Kosuke Kindaichi, continuing production over forty years after his passing. Kon Ichikawa was perhaps more prolific, even if his comparisons to other contemporaneous Japanese directors are less universal.

In this heartfelt conversation, Jesse and Amie discuss her personal journey, the challenges of reintegration into society after incarceration, and the critical role organizations like Woman II Woman play in helping women rebuild their lives. Prepare to be inspired as they explore themes of redemption, resilience, and the importance of extending a helping hand to those seeking a fresh start. Don't miss this touching episode as Jesse and Amie shed light on the path to recovery, healing, and hope for formerly incarcerated women.

Amie was incarcerated for 5 years at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla. She is one of the founding members of "Woman II Woman", an organization empowering incarcerated women. We talk about biological men being placed in women's prisons, who profits off of inmates and how, and what you can do to help. This is a very important episode - please stream & share it.

We discuss two films adapted from Seishi Yokomizo's 'The Inugami Curse', both made by Kon Ichikawa, both starring Kōji Ishizaka as Kosuke Kindaichi. Originally adapted in 1976, then remade in 2006, the film follows the inheritance dispute of the powerful Inugami pharmaceutical family. The patriarch passes, and his various wives and their children have their claim to wealth upended by the return of Sukekiyo, a grandson scarred unrecognisable in the second world war. The death of a legal representative draws the attention of the enigmatic Kosuke Kindaichi, who finds both allies and enemies as he tries to prevent the police from imprisoning the wrong person. What changed between the two versions of the film, and how does this Japanese classic hold up?

Amie Ichikawa is an ex-convict who now works to help women in and out of prison. In this calmvo we talk about the situation in California, wherein male criminals are given a free pass to be locked up with women. https://www.womaniiwoman.org https://linktr.ee/ichix310 Support this channel:  https://www.paypal.me/benjaminboyce https://cash.app/$benjaminaboyce https://www.buymeacoffee.com/benjaminaboyce --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/calmversations/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/calmversations/support

It's been a busy month! Welcome to Edition 82 wherein the WLRN Collective, along with Amie Ichikawa, joey brite, Thistle Pettersen, and Sekhmet SheOwl, explores the story and implications of the ongoing "Dana Rivers" #DanaRiversisaMan Case in California. It is a gruesome subject that is paired with aurora linnea's chilling written piece about the murders committed by trans-identified individuals over the years. https://wlrnmedia.com/2023/02/02/femicide-unmentionable-crimes/ On a more cheerful note, WLRN is starting a new merch line featuring the beautiful artwork and design of Margaret Vaek. Margaret greets the listener in this February's show describing the WLRN logo she lovingly designed. To see our new merch line, click here: https://wlrnmedia.com/merch/ Of note, Margaret also designed the front cover for this month's podcast. It represents Charlotte Reed, Patricia Wright and Benny Diambu-Wright, along with the colors of the suffragist flag (USA), as the fight for women's rights continues. In this month's edition, Emily Faye delivers WLRN's world news segment updating the listener on April Morrow's case involving a man who crushed her hand at a Women's Speak Out event last Fall, amongst other stories. After the world news, hear the song 'Women's Prison' by Loretta Lynn before jumping into a conversation Thistle had with Amie Ichikawa and joey brite about the David Warfield case. This excerpt is from the livestreamed conversation that happened last month with a live interactive audience. Click the "Live" tab on our YouTube channel to find the entire unedited livestream recording in our archive. Finally, Sekhmet SheOwl rounds off the hour with her punchy commentary on the subject in her usual to-the-point fashion that hits the nail on the proverbial head of patriarchy. Thank you, Sekhmet, for your years of service to our collective and for broaching this gruesome topic with precision. The logic you present is crystal clear. and your anger is wielded like a knife. This brings us to the subject of March's show which will focus on women's self-defense. As always, thank you, dear listeners, for supporting feminist community-powered media, WLRN. Let's make it through 2023 together in our worldwide women's network and community. In solidarity! Again, that new merch page is accessible here: https://wlrnmedia.com/merch/ We hope you enjoy browsing our new store!

In a small clear box, Etsuko Ichikawa keeps a small piece of vitrified glass that was given to her on a tour of the Hanford nuclear site. This vitrified glass encases radioactive material before it is disposed of through burial. As an artist trained in making glass, this object becomes something of a totem for Ichikawa, who turns her eye towards nuclear legacies,environmental degradation, and human impacts on the environment.Related Links: Etsuko Ichikawa's websiteBroken Poems of Fireflies exhibitEtsuko introduces the exhibitDo you have a special object that you hold close?

Amie Ichikawa is one the founders of WomanIIWoman, a non-profit organization providing re-entry services, parole hearing prep, and advocacy for the safety and dignity of incarcerated women in California. She serves as an advocate for women in the Central California Women's Facility and the California Institution for Women, standing for justice for victims of State abuse. Amie shares her eye-opening experience being incarcerated for five years and re-integrating back into society after enduring incredible amounts of abuse and harassment by correctional officers. She discusses the cultural differences between men's and women's prisons, the numerous dangers of SB132 (also known as The Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act), and how her coercion to get vaccinated in prison is emblematic of the current global situation. Amie encourages others to have one-on-one, intimate conversations about these issues not only for the sake of incarcerated women but also for the protection of women everywhere against impending erasure and further dehumanization.
