Podcasts about Kitamura

Producers of mokuhanga prints who also teach art at the academic level have always intrigued me. The balance between the solitary work of a printmaker and the responsibilities of teaching a wide range of artistic disciplines must be both complex and, at times, challenging. It raises questions such as: How much of my own creative journey can I pursue while also dedicating myself to students who look to me for guidance as both an artist and a teacher? On this episode of The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast, I speak with Melissa Schulenburg—an independent printmaker, member of the Mokuhanga Sisters collective, and Charles A. Dana Professor of Art & Art History at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. Our interview explores Melissa's work as both an educator and a practicing mokuhanga printmaker. We discuss the role of tradition in her practice, how her visits to Japan, participation in MI-LAB, and involvement with the Mokuhanga Sisters have shaped her artistic development. We also take a look inside her printmaking toolbox, discussing the papers, pigments, and tools she relies on, as well as her deep connection to nature and the influence it has on her work.

It consists of a single sheet of paper onto which multiple separate images were designed and printed. These compositions could include individual scenes arranged together on one sheet, sometimes functioning as diptychs or triptychs. Harimaze-e were commonly produced in a chūban format, measuring approximately 24.8 × 36.3 cm.

We're going back to the very beginning of our journey and revisiting MGS1 with it's Gamecube remake, Twin Snakes. As one would expect, we had a great time overall especially thanks to Ryuhei Kitamura's ridiculous cutscenes. And Speaking of Kitamura, we also watched his 2000 film, Versus which love it or hate it, there's nothing else like it.Episode 87: Notacon

2LDK, 2 Zimmer, Küche Wohnzimmer. Eine Wohnung mitten in Tokyo die sich die beiden Schauspielerinnen Nozomi und Rana teilen. Die Luft knistert, denn die beiden, sehr unterschiedlichen jungen Damen haben sich auf dieselbe Rolle beworben und erwarten am nächsten Tag den Anruf der Agentur, wer nun die Rolle bekommt.

Ten years ago, on October 26, 2015, something special began in Japan. While working at the University of Tokyo, I launched the first episode of the FreshEd podcast, marking the start of what would become a cornerstone of conversations in comparative and international education. Over the past decade, FreshEd has grown into a global platform – far larger than I ever imaged -- connecting listeners interested in education, equity, and social change. We've made over 400 episodes in that time. We've counted 200 universities that use our content and we have listeners, like you, in over 180 countries. To celebrate our anniversary, we held a live event at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan as part of the 2025 International Education Development Forum. I've like to thank Dr. Jing Liu for co-organizing this event. Joining me on stage were Professors Iveta Silova and Yuto Kitamura, who are both board members of FreshEd. In our conversation, we take you behind the scenes of FreshEd's development and reflect on what the podcast means for the wider field specifically and higher education generally. On a personal note, Iveta and Yuto are both mentors who have shaped my own career as an academic. So today we'll air the conversation we had in Tohoku on October 18. I hope you enjoy the show and here's to the second decade of FreshEd. https://freshedpodcast.com/10years/ -- Get in touch! Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com

When Procter & Gamble asked Atsushi Kitamura to move from finance analysis into running a manufacturing plant, he didn't hesitate. “They always give me next challenge to stretch me,” he tells us. Managing one of P&G's large diaper plants in Japan forced him to apply finance in real-time operations—a proving ground that shaped his comfort with change and appetite for transformation.That readiness carried him from consumer goods to logistics, restaurants, and electronics before arriving at Astellas Pharma, where the stakes are now measured in science and strategy. When he joined in 2023, Astellas had just completed a $6 billion acquisition that shifted it from a net-cash to a net-debt position. Hired to “put financial disciplines and make the balance sheet stronger,” Kitamura tells us he views the moment as a “transformative timing” for the company. Loss of exclusivity on a prostate-cancer drug representing “more than 40 percent of our revenues” demands reinvention.His three-part playbook focuses on growing core brands, investing in science creation, and executing what he calls “sustainable margin transformations.” The approach has begun to pay off—“top line 19 percent, profit 40 percent,” he tells us—signaling a finance organization in renewal.Now he's turning to technology to sustain that momentum. Describing the shift from RPA to “agentic AI,” Kitamura explains, “I just ask agent AI to do that booking.” He calls it a tipping point that will “change significantly the way how we work.”Still, he adds, leadership begins with listening. “Don't pretend I know everything,” he tells us. For Kitamura, finance transformation starts not with machines or metrics—but with humility.

Dr. Linda Chiu unpacks how natural language processing and large language models are transforming radiology, with insights from a review by Dr. Felipe Kitamura and colleagues.

[REBROADCAST FROM June 2, 2025] The latest novel from author Katie Kitamura follows an accomplished actor and the mysterious young man who suddenly enters her life. We picked Audition as our May Get Lit with All Of It book club selection. Kitamura discusses the novel with Alison in front of a sold out crowd. 

In this episode of ClassHorrorCast, we take a deep dive into Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train (2008) – a dark, unrelenting horror film that never got the recognition it deserved.Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura and starring Vinnie Jones as the silent but deadly Mahogany, alongside a pre-Hollywood-star Bradley Cooper, this movie is equal parts brutal and beautiful.We look back at how the film was adapted from Barker's Books of Blood, exploring its themes of obsession, urban decay, and the monsters lurking beneath the city streets.We'll talk about the troubled release that led to the film's “lost” status, its striking visuals and gore effects, and why it deserves a rightful place among modern horror's cult classics.Expect behind-the-scenes stories, discussion of Kitamura's unique style, the film's shocking ending, and how this underrated gem paved the way for some of the most visually intense horror of the 2000s.If you've never seen Midnight Meat Train or it's been years since your last watch, this episode will make you want to jump back on board.For more of my content - CLICK HEREBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

Katie Kitamura joins Adam Biles to discuss her remarkable novel Audition. Centred on a middle-aged actress whose settled life is upended by a young man claiming to be her son, Audition blurs the lines between performance, identity, and narrative certainty. Kitamura reflects on the novel's dual structure—a “rabbit-duck” ambiguity—and her fascination with roles we perform in relationships, particularly within marriage and family. The conversation explores the mutability of identity, the ethical power of embracing contradiction, and the unique capacity of the novel to hold multiple truths simultaneously. Kitamura also discusses craft, genre, and the challenges of maintaining ambiguity without sacrificing narrative tension. An essential listen for readers drawn to fiction that resists easy answers and revels in complexity.Buy Audition: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/audition-3Katie Kitamura is the author of five novels, including Intimacies, named one of the 10 Best Books of 2021 by the New York Times. It was also one of Barack Obama's favourite books of the year, and was longlisted for a National Book Award and a PEN/Faulkner Award and was a finalist for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. Kitamura's novel A Separation was a New York Times Notable Book. Her work has been translated into more than twenty languages and is being adapted for film and television.

In a Manhattan restaurant, the narrator of Audition meets a young man for lunch. Everyone has a different understanding of the pair's relationship, including the narrator herself. Katie Kitamura says she got the idea for the story after coming across a headline that said, "a stranger told me he was my son." That headline turned into the premise for her latest novel, which experiments with the idea of contradictions to destabilizing effect. In today's episode, Kitamura joins NPR's Ari Shapiro for a conversation about her decision to cut the book in half. They also discuss other media that's split into two parts – like the films Vertigo and Shoplifters – and Shapiro shares his interpretation of the novel.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Katie Kitamura's fifth novel is “Audition,” and it focusses on a middle-aged actress and her ambiguous relationship with a much younger man. Kitamura tells the critic Jennifer Wilson that she thought for a long time about an actress as protagonist, as a way to highlight the roles women play, and to provoke questions about agency. “I teach creative writing, and in class often ... if there is a character who the group feels doesn't have agency, that is often brought up as a criticism of the character,” she tells Wilson. Other students will say, “ ‘She doesn't have any agency,' as if a character without agency is implausible or in some way not compelling in narrative terms. But of course, the reality is very few of us have total agency. I think we operate under the illusion or the impression that we have a great deal of agency. But in reality when you look at your life, our choices are quite constricted.” “Audition” comes out this week.  

Ed Hardy is the most impactful tattooer of our time. Now that he no longer working, does his influence end?[Watch this episode on YOUTUBE]Ed's legendary San Francisco shop, Tattoo City, closed its doors for good yesterday. His publishing company, Hardy Marks no longer has him at the helm. Does his influence end now that these two huge vehicles for how he performed and shared his work are in his past?While the shop is now gone, sadly, Ed handed the book publishing torch to a very capable team, Taki and Molly Kitamura. With the experience of making amazing books of their own, documenting and sharing pieces of tattoo culture and history (in a way reminiscent of Ed himself), I can't imagine Hardy Marks landing in the care of anyone better.One of their first projects is reintroducing the Tattoo Time series, with new issues to come soon. Taki wanted to introduce their new editor, Ethan Dodge, a great writer among many other things. Check out more about HARDY MARKS PUBLICATIONSFind Taki and Molly at STATE OF GRACE TATTOO in San Jose, CABOOKS CLOSED Podcast is made by Andrew StortzFind Andrew in Portsmouth, NH at Worship Tattoo 

On this episode of the PAW Book Club podcast, we talk with Katie Kitamura '99, author of our latest read, “Intimacies.” The much-lauded novel follows a woman who comes to The Hague as an interpreter for the international court and begins to interpret for a former president who's facing war crime charges. Kitamura answered our questions about the book, discussing why she gives so little backstory to her characters and why readers' strong dislike of one character surprised her. She also discussed her writing philosophy and what advice she gives as a creative writing professor at NYU. “The writing itself, when it is private, when it's just myself, when I can do whatever I want, that is the most special part of writing to me,” she said. “That's my favorite part.”

In this podcast recorded live at ESMO 2024 in Barcelona, UROONCO BCa chief editor Dr. Benjamin Pradere (FR) talked to Prof. Hiroshi Kitamura (JP) about his presentation on the JCOG1019 study results: An open-label, non-inferiority, randomised phase III study comparing the effectiveness of watchful waiting (WW) and intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in patients with high-grade pT1 (HGT1) bladder cancer with pT0 on the second transurethral resection (TUR) specimen.Prof. Kitamura shares details of the study rationale, summarises the results, and discusses how these results could be implemented into clinical practice.

Light Yagami, possessor of the titular Death Note, manages to kill off the few FBI agents tasked to spy on him. By simply holding the agent Rey Penber hostage he exploits the rules of the Death Note which include the facts that you can influence the victim's behaviour in their last moments by what is written, you can also have someone use sheets from the Death Note without knowledge of its power and you can pre-emptively write the cause and details of a death before putting any name to it. Meanwhile the detective L, teams up with the last remaining members of a Japanese task force formed to capture Kira, this includes Light's father Soichiro Yagami. L bravely exposes his face as a show of trust but chastises the force for giving him their real names. As L has already established. A name and a face are all Kira needs to kill. L interrogates each of the members before deducing they are not Kira and so L vows to the team that they will show Kira that “the good guys always win”. Unbeknownst to Light, Rey's Widow Naomi Misora has a lead on Kira and goes to contact L and the task force. But since the task force are too busy meeting L it results in no one being in the office. Through happenstance Light meets Naomi at the reception desk of the task force HQ, seeing her as a threat, he manages to convince her that he is a member of the task force. Naomi buys into Light's lies, since Naomi has worked on a case with L in the past, she finds that Light reminds her of L. Light asks for her I.D. and manages to write her name in a spare piece of the Death Note, her cause of death being suicide, After the note takes effect Light reveals to Naomi that he is Kira and so Naomi walks away never to be seen again. Four days later, news of Naomi's disappearance reaches L. In response L narrows his investigation to the last people Raye was probing before Kira started experimenting with his victims. L begins to bug the homes of the deputy Kitamura and Detective Superintendant Soichiro Yagami. And now L can monitor Light within his own home. What L does not know is that Ryuk, the Death God that accompanies Light, cannot be seen by humans without a Death Note. Topics: The earliest signs of controversy around Death Note occurred in China before reaching the U.S. Curse tablets existed between 500BCE and 300BCE in Greece. The Los Angeles BB murder case is referenced again in a light novel spin off by Nishio Ishin. With a character called Mello being the narrator, it tells the story of Naomi Misora and L trying to catch a serial killer with “Shinigami eyes.” Ryuk, the Death God.

Welcome to episode 49 of Holly Jolly X'masu! In this episode, I'll be wrapping up my discussion about Eiji Kitamura and his Christmas music, with his fantastic 2001 album, “Santa Clarinet.” While Akira Ishikawa's “Drum Christmas Drum” kicked off my interest in Japanese Christmas music, the Jazz, Group Sounds and Mood Kayo albums of the 1960s really cemented my obsession, while the City Pop Christmas music from the 1980s broadened my collecting horizons and led to me finding an even wider variety of music. One of the things I love about Eiji Kitamura is that he serves as a bridge from the earliest days of Japanese Pop music to today. He got his start around the same time Hibari Misora's “Hitoribocchi no Christmas” gave birth to Japanese Christmas Pop, so he has been an eyewitness to the genre as it's evolved. That's part of why I'd love to see him do an album where he covers all the big Japanese Christmas songs, from Kai Band's “Anna,” to Yumi Matsutoya's “Koibito ga Santa Claus,” Keisuke Kuwata's “Merry X'mas In Summer” and “White Lovers,” and, of course, Tatsuro Yamashita's “Christmas Eve.” I have a couple Jazz albums with covers of a lot of those songs, but having one from Eiji Kitamura would be something special, considering his long history in the industry. I hope you've enjoyed learning about Eiji Kitamura. Join me back here next month for my special 50th episode, where I'll be talking about the 1977 compilation, “Merry Christmas (Bouquet of Hearts Present Series),” from King Records. It's a great album in its own right with an interesting history, but it's also an instrumental album for me personally, not just in the way it helped me improve my research and collecting strategy, but in the long-standing connection it's given me with a like-minded collector in Japan. It's a double LP and will take a lot of work to prepare, so at this point I'm not sure what else I'll cover next month, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you'd like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know. Remember, I've added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you'd like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I've also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I'll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes.

Welcome to episode 48 of Holly Jolly X'masu! In this first of two episodes about legendary clarinetist Eiji Kitamura, I'll be discussing his 1965 EP, “Dancing Christmas,” and his 1988 album, “Golden Christmas Songs.” As I mentioned in this episode, Eiji Kitamura's music is some of the earliest Japanese Christmas music I came across. While my attempts to get all three of his albums were frustrating at times, I was thrilled to finally own them all. It was just as enjoyable learning about him and finding that, at 93 years old, he's still performing and recording. One of the most delightful surprises I've had while collecting was finding that he played on Tatsuo Otsuka's “Christmas Serenade.” I first saw the cover for the album in early 2020, and it took well over a year to finally get a copy. As with Eiji Kitamura's albums, it was worth the wait. I have to apologize for how late I am releasing this episode. The past month has been a string of hassles and crises. While I didn't have as much time to work on my podcast as I'd have liked, I was able to make some headway on the huge backlog of music I've been needing to digitize and prepare for future episodes. Until a few days ago, I was nearly done, but a new bundle of records put me a little further behind. I can't complain, though, as several of the records I've gotten recently are real holy grails. I've managed to remove several of the biggest items from my wishlist of albums, and I can't wait to cover them at some point. I hope you've enjoyed this introduction to Eiji Kitamura. Join me back here later this month as I finish discussing his career and his Christmas music. As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you'd like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know. Remember, I've added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you'd like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I've also opened a Redbubble store.
