404 The Unpredictable Nature of Our Stories Like the humble ant, we go about our lives caring for those in our home, seeking new horizons, and using our natural talents to build monuments to our success. However, just like the ant, we are subject to things out of our control; be it a rainstorm that floods known pathways or a cruel child with a magnifying glass. These things can break us, they often do, but just like the ant we must settle again, rebuild, and make our home safe again. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Anne Plaisance discuss the many trials and tribulations they had faced and how they channeled it into something beautiful and powerful. Highlights How have you surprised others? With your choices, strengths, and/or stories? How have you turned the hard parts of your story into something inspiring? How have you transformed? When was the moment your relief finally turned to joy? Quotes "What you don't transform, you transmit." "I'd say it's a little bit like kintsugi, the japanese art where you fill all the cracks with gold, but here you fill your soul with love." Dear Listeners it is now your turn, My question isn't necessarily what you'll do with this information, my question for you today is will you take five minutes after listening to this podcast to take inventory of where you are right now in your feelings, in how you are taking action in something that you want to do, take five minutes and take inventory. What do you need now? What will put you in a better place now? And what tiny ant sized step can you take in that direction? And, as always, thank you for listening.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

J1 returned with a bang after the international break, and in Part 1 of this new episode Jonny and Ben were joined by Kashiwa correspondent Seamus Johnston to chat about a fascinating set of results for the title chasers - Kobe and leaders Kashima drawing on Friday night, before Seamus's Reysol demolished Gamba (sorry Jonny) on Saturday and Kyoto gutted out a dramatic late point with ten men on Sunday (to 37:40). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben round up the relegation dogfight, which, as we long suspected, is now a straight shootout for survival between the two Yokohama clubs, then the other games before a look ahead to midweek and weekend action.

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Kyoto's Tea Shop Wisdom: Embracing Life's Vibrant Changes Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ja/episode/2025-10-21-22-34-03-ja Story Transcript:Ja: 京都の隅っこにある、静かなティーショップ。その名も「夢の茶屋」。En: In a quiet corner of Kyoto, there was a serene tea shop called "Yume no Chaya".Ja: 木目調のインテリアと、外の鮮やかなオレンジと赤の紅葉が暖かい雰囲気を作り出している。En: The wood-toned interior and the vibrant orange and red of the autumn leaves outside created a warm atmosphere.Ja: この日は特に人が多かった。En: On this particular day, the shop was especially crowded.Ja: ハルトはティーショップのひとつのテーブルに座っていた。En: Haru sat at one of the tables in the tea shop.Ja: 彼は東京への出張を控えていた。En: He was about to go on a business trip to Tokyo.Ja: この機会に、東京での新しい仕事のオファーを受けるか考えていた。En: He was considering whether to accept a new job offer there.Ja: しかし、彼は決断に迷っていた。En: However, he was hesitant to make a decision.Ja: 京都には家族や多くの思い出がある。En: Kyoto held his family and many memories.Ja: それを置いて新しい生活を始めるのは、彼にとっては大きな挑戦だった。En: Leaving everything behind to start a new life was a big challenge for him.Ja: ハルトの妹、マイは一緒にいた。En: Haru's sister, Mai, was with him.Ja: 彼女は絵を勉強していて、いつも色に対する感性が豊かだった。En: She was studying art and always had a rich sensitivity to colors.Ja: 「お兄ちゃん、この茶屋の紅葉、見た？En: "Hey big brother, did you see the autumn leaves at this tea shop?Ja: 色がすごくきれいだよね。En: The colors are incredibly beautiful, aren't they?Ja: なんだか、人生の変化みたいじゃない？」と、彼女は優しく言った。En: They kind of feel like life's changes, don't they?" she gently said.Ja: マイのその言葉に、ハルトは少し考え込んだ。En: Mai's words made Haru ponder a bit.Ja: 確かに、紅葉も毎年変化する。En: Indeed, the autumn leaves change every year.Ja: それでも、どことなく心地よい変化だ。En: Yet somehow, it's a pleasant change.Ja: その時、ケンジがやって来た。En: At that moment, Kenji arrived.Ja: 彼はこのティーショップのバリスタで、ハルトの友人でもある。En: He was the barista at this tea shop and also Haru's friend.Ja: 「ハルト、考えても仕方ないこともあるよ。En: "Haru, some things are not worth overthinking.Ja: 自分の直感を信じてみて。En: Trust your instincts.Ja: 新しい冒険に踏み出すことも素敵だよ。」彼は微笑んでそう言った。En: Embarking on a new adventure can be wonderful."

A primeira vitória do Japão contra o Brasil na história do futebol masculino é simbólica. Se atualmente o país do sol nascente é uma potência na Ásia e vai disputar a sua oitava Copa do Mundo consecutiva em 2026, essa evolução se deve muito à influência brasileira no início.  Tiago Leme, de Tóquio, para a RFI Há mais de 30 anos, Zico cruzou o mundo e teve papel fundamental para a popularização e a profissionalização do futebol no Japão. Depois, chegaram vários outros jogadores. E até hoje o Campeonato Japonês e a seleção nacional mostram organização e força, mesmo sem o investimento e as estrelas estrangeiras do passado jogando no país. Na última terça-feira, em amistoso em Tóquio, o Japão venceu o Brasil do técnico Carlo Ancelotti de virada, por 3 a 2. Com o estádio lotado e a paixão da torcida japonesa pelo futebol e também pela seleção brasileira, a festa com o resultado foi enorme. Essa boa relação entre os dois países começou especialmente em 1991, quando Zico foi contratado pelo Kashima Antlers, um clube até então amador ligado a uma fábrica. Em 1993, começou a primeira temporada da J-League, a nova liga profissional japonesa. O ex-flamenguista jogou no Kashima até 1994, mas depois sempre esteve ligado e ajudando no desenvolvimento do futebol, e inclusive foi treinador da seleção do Japão entre 2002 e 2006. Muitos jogadores brasileiros importantes atuaram no país asiático, nomes como Leonardo, Dunga, Bebeto, Jorginho, César Sampaio, Careca, Túlio, Washington, Emerson Sheik, Robson Ponte, entre outros, além de técnicos também. O torcedor brasileiro Mário Uemura, descendente de nipônicos e que mora no Japão há 40 anos, acompanhou de perto todo esse processo. "Uma influência muito grande foi o Zico, que começou lá no Kashima, que era amador. Depois que virou profissional e a J-League, virou Kashima Antlers. O Zico tem muita influência aqui, ele é considerado um rei", diz. "Depois tem o Tokyo Verdy, que foi um time muito forte também, que tinha muitos brasileiros. O Bismarck jogou no Tokyo Verdy também e muitos brasileiros ajudaram a desenvolver a J-League como está atualmente. Eles gostam até hoje do futebol brasileiro, é uma influência muito grande."  Outro torcedor brasileiro que também estava presente no amistoso de terça-feira, Hermes Suzuki, que vive no Japão há sete anos, falou sobre o impacto do Brasil no futebol japonês. "E não é só o Zico. O Rui Ramos também. Você tem o Kazu. É impressionante essa história", salienta. "Eu acompanho a J- League, o meu avô é de Kyoto, então eu acompanho o Kyoto Sanga. Quem era líder, agora ele caiu um pouquinho, é o Papagaio, o Rafael Elias, ele estava como artilheiro, mas agora caiu. Mas é um brasileiro que está no topo. Mas eles adoram o Brasil, é impressionante. Então, assim como o Pelé foi nos Estados Unidos, o Zico é pai do futebol aqui. É impressionante”, diz. Jogadores brasileiros Atualmente, o Campeonato Japonês não conta com tantos jogadores de destaque internacional, houve diminuição de investimento nos clubes. Mesmo assim, segue atraindo muitos jogadores menos conhecidos e que não tem mercado na Europa, por exemplo. Nesta temporada, a J-League conta com 100 atletas estrangeiros, de 28 países diferentes, sendo que 52 são brasileiros, a imensa maioria. Os três primeiros colocados da lista de artilheiros são do Brasil: Léo Ceará, do Kashima Antlers, Rafael Elias, do Kyoto Sanga, e Rafael Ratão, do Cerezo Osaka. O Japão vai disputar no ano que vem nos Estados Unidos, México e Canadá a oitava Copa do Mundo de sua história, todas depois que Zico começou a jogar no país. A primeira vez foi no Mundial de 1998, e depois o país se classificou para todas as edições. As melhores participações foram em 2002, 2010, 2018 e 2022, quando chegou às oitavas-de-final. No passado, a seleção japonesa teve nomes fortes como Nakata, Endo, Nakamura e Honda, além de Kazu, que atuou no Santos e outros times do Brasil na década de 80. Hoje o Japão é comandado pelo técnico Hajime Moriyasu. Os principais jogadores estão em equipes europeias, como Minamino, do Monaco, Kubo, da Real Sociedad, e Ueda, do Feyenoord, além de Nagatomo, que jogou na Inter de Milão e está no FC Tokyo. Hermes Suzuki contou um pouco também sobre como está o nível da seleção japonesa antes do Mundial de 2026. "Eu vou ser sincero, estive na Copa recente no Catar. O Japão ganhou da Espanha, ganhou da Alemanha, estou com a camiseta lá do jogo. Então, eles não são zebra não! Eles estão para jogar. Mas o futebol daqui se profissionalizou, e não só o masculino. Tem uma liga do futebol feminino também aqui, e eles vão formando as bases, então tem as crianças”, afirma o torcedor.  Depois de fazer história com a vitória inédita sobre o Brasil após 14 confrontos, o Japão sonha em superar novamente grandes potências do futebol na Copa de 2026, para impulsionar ainda mais o desenvolvimento do futebol no país.

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.

Tadashige's early works were influenced by the west with German Expressionism and later in his career, as his personal politics began to change, Tadashige;'s prints began to focus on an industrial Japan.  House (Hiroshima) (1957) Tōkō Shinoda (1913-2021) - was a calligrapher and painter in Japan. Shinoda saw herself as an artist who combined painting and calligraphy together defying categorization.

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. A great article by The Japan Times in 2022 discusses a touring exhibition of Watanabe's work called Shin Hanga: New Prints of Japan, which can be found here.  Kawamura Sayaka - is a mokuhanga printmaker based in Japan.

Kyoto-based DJ and producer Yuddy Ash has been steadily finding his voice over the past few years. Following a series of online appearances and a collaboration with silkscreen. on GIFKIKKER, he now joins the Delayed with series with a mix that favors movement through restraint, using rhythm as a thread rather than a tool of impact. Across sixty-one minutes, it unfolds with a steady pulse, subtle shifts, and a lightness in tone. It's a late-night listen that moves from deep low-end flow to airy percussion. The transitions are soft, almost invisible, yet the direction remains clear, a quiet reminder that less can still move plenty. https://soundcloud.com/yuddyash https://www.instagram.com/yuddyash/ Write up by @gilleswasserman Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

What if your construction site had two gates, one for entry, and one for alignment? In this electrifying episode recorded live from Kyoto, Jason Schroeder takes lessons from ancient Japanese castle design and transforms them into a modern leadership framework every builder needs to hear. Drawing from the Masu Gata (a defensive courtyard designed to trap intruders) and the Genkan (the sacred entryway of every Japanese home), Jason reveals a radical truth: your morning worker huddle is your Genkan - the moment that separates chaos from flow, and disunity from one team. You'll hear powerful lessons from Japan's culture of respect, Toyota's leadership philosophy, and a story of how one former Lexus CEO explained why Suzuki fell while Toyota rose. It all comes down to loving the Gemba people , the workers and creating a jobsite culture where no one walks in unaligned. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Japan's entry rituals can revolutionize your project culture. How to protect your team from “enemies of alignment”. The real reason every job must have a morning worker huddle. How two gates can prevent disrespect, chaos, and safety risks. Why loving and training your Gemba people is the ultimate leadership act. This isn't just about construction, it's about honor, respect, and discipline. Step into the Genkan. Leave your shoes and your ego at the door.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

“Why are you going to Okayama?” To be fair, we got this question more than once while traveling around Japan. I get it. It's not really a tourist hot spot like Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka. So when we told people where we were going, there were certainly a few raised eyebrows. But hear us out: Okayama is incredible! The city has enough things to do on its own like Okayama Castle, Korakuen Garden, and Kurashiki nearby! AND It's a top-notch base for day trips to Hiroshima, Naoshima Art Island, Himeji, and more! So in this episode, we're discussing the top things to do in Okayama Japan, best day trips from Okayama, and why we chose this lesser known city to spend 4 nights during our 2 week trip to Japan.   Relevant Links (may contain affiliate links, meaning if you make a purchase through these links, we earn a small commission-at no additional cost to you!): -Okayama Hotel (Koraku Hotel): https://booking.stay22.com/worldwidehoneymoon/PH-cUT2oZz -Fat Bear Week: https://explore.org/fat-bear-week -Donate to The Otis Fund for Katmai National Park: https://katmaiconservancy.org/donate   Traveling to France?

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!In this episode we discuss Sogyu's early psychedelic awakening in the 1960s, how LSD shaped his spiritual path, and his decade of rigorous Buddhist training. Sogyu shares the vision behind Yamauto – his Woodstock-style peace gathering festival – and the off-grid ecovillage and alternative school he founded in Japan. We dive into the challenges and possibilities of psychedelics in a culture where they remain underground, the importance of integration and community, and how Buddhist teachings can help navigate profound experiences. This inspiring conversation bridges East and West, tradition and counterculture, offering a rare glimpse into Japan's underground psychedelic scene and one man's lifelong mission to foster peace, creativity, and connection.About Sogyu Fukumura:Sogyu Fukumura is a Japanese Buddhist monk, gardener, and countercultural icon who blends Zen spirituality with the free-spirited ethos of the 1960s. Born in Kyoto in 1951, he trained in the Tendai and Rinzai Buddhist traditions before founding the off-grid ecovillage Sansui-jin ("Mountain–Water–People") in the mountains of Kutsuki. In 2005, Sogyu launched Yamauto, a one-of-a-kind, Woodstock-style music and peace festival that brings together artists, nature lovers, and seekers from across Japan. More than just a festival, Yamauto is a living experiment in community, sustainability, and co-creation – complete with unplugged nights, no-money days, and a vision of harmony with nature. Sogyu continues to inspire generations as a gentle, joyful elder of Japan's alternative culture.Connect with Sogyu:- https://flameofhope.jp/sogyu/- https://yamauto.net/message-from-sogyu/- https://web.facebook.com/sogyu.fukumura/- https://www.instagram.com/sogyufukumura/Thank you so much for joining us!

While there, we had one big goal: to see the Daibutsu of Nara, the world's largest bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana.  We also saw the deer in Nara Deer Park, loved the Nara National Museum, and really enjoyed the lanterns at the Kasugataisha Shrine. We also had some amazing Japanese curry!

For everyone listening to today's episode—especially if you're a mokuhanga printmaker—you can probably trace your first step into the art form back to a single person, someone who sparked your journey into mokuhanga, however it has evolved over time. On this episode of The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast, I speak with that person for me: Elizabeth Forrest. Elizabeth was my first mokuhanga teacher, the one who encouraged me to study the practice and explore its technical depths. Elizabeth is an accomplished printmaker with a long and varied career. We discuss her discovery of mokuhanga here in Toronto, her experiences living and working in Japan, and how she has adapted her art through life changes and culture shock. She also shares her thoughts on the importance of residencies, her love of washi, and the ways she sources her materials today.

Elizabeth Forrest : website Facebook, Instagram Ontario College of Art & Design University : has been a mainstay of art and design education in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada since 1876. More information, here.  Akira Kurosaki (1937-2019) - was one of the most influential woodblock print artists of the modern era. His work, while seemingly abstract, moved people with its vibrant colour and powerful composition. He was a teacher and invented the “Disc Baren,” which is a great baren to begin your mokuhanga journey with. At the 2021 Mokuhanga Conference in Nara, Japan there was a tribute exhibit of his life works. Azusa Gallery has a nice selection of his work, here. 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. sizing paper - at times mokuhanga printmakers will size their paper. Size is made from water, animal glue (rabbit, horse), and alum. What the size does is keep the pigments the artist uses from “bleeding” into the outer edges of the paper. There are many recipes of size, here is one that artist Walter J. Phillips used. © Popular Wheat Productions logo designed and produced by Douglas Batchelor and André Zadorozny  Disclaimer: Please do not reproduce or use anything from this podcast without shooting me an email and getting my express written or verbal consent.

This week we welcome Nintendo legend Takaya Imamura, the visionary artist behind F-Zero, Star Fox, and Majora's Mask. We hear some incredible stories from his three decades at Nintendo: from being interviewed by Shigeru Miyamoto, to creating Captain Falcon on a whim, to the wild one-year crunch that gave birth to Majora's Mask. He reveals how a shrine in Kyoto inspired Fox McCloud, why Tingle was born out of pure exhaustion, and the surprising comic book roots of his latest project Omega Six.  This chat was recorded live at Retromessa in Norway.

Today we have Dr. Mari Dezawa, one of the world's leaders in stem-cell research and regenerative medicine. Mari is a pioneer in this emerging field and is known worldwide for her discovery of MUSE cells, a unique type of stem cell with exciting clinical potential. MUSE is short for Multilineage-Differentiating Stress-Enduring Cells. The discovery of the MUSE cell in humans has many biological and medical implications, and the human body may have a greater regenerative potential than we might have ever imagined. In collaboration with major national and international institutions, Mari and her colleagues are promoting research on MUSE cell-based regenerative medicine for diseases without definitive treatments. She and her team are also exploring the differences in regenerative capacity between less and more complex animals from the viewpoint of the stem-cell system. Mari is a professor and chair of the Division of Stem Cell Biology and Histology at Tohoku University School of Medicine. She has published more than 200 papers and is particularly known for her 2010 paper on the mechanisms of MUSE cells. In 2018, she was appointed a fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Inventors and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Japanese Government's Prize for the Commendation for Science and Technology. Show notes: [00:04:10] Ken opens the interview by mentioning that although Mari was born in Japan, her family moved to the U.S. when she was only eight months old. Ken asks if it is true that Mari finds it difficult to answer the question of where her hometown is. [00:05:23] Ken asks Mari how she handled moving so much as a child. [00:05:52] Ken mentions that Mari's father was a researcher and asks when she became passionate about research and science. [00:06:58] Ken mentions that Mari attended the Chiba University School of Medicine and asks what inspired her to go to medical school. [00:07:19] Ken explains that after Mari earned her medical degree, she attended Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine for her Ph.D. Ken mentions that while Mari was initially a cardiology resident, she later decided to focus on clinical research and became a stem-cell researcher. Ken asks what led her to shift from cardiology to stem-cell research. [00:08:25] Ken explains that Mari is well-known for her research into the role of stem cells in regeneration and functional recovery of nerve and muscle cells. Ken asks how and when she first became interested in stem cells. [00:09:56] Ken asks Mari to give a brief overview of stem cells and their significance. [00:11:18] Ken mentions that Mari remained at Chiba University as a research associate after earning her Ph.D in 1995. She then took a position as an associate professor at Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine before accepting a position at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine as an associate professor in 2003. Ken explains that while at Kyoto, Mari developed methods to induce bone marrow stromal cells to generate neuro and skeletal muscle cells, which play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration and are widely studied for their potential to serve as therapeutic agents. Ken asks Mari to give a quick primer on the crucial role these cells play in tissue repair. [00:13:25] Ken explains that in 2003, a member of Mari's technical staff at Kyoto asked her whether they should discard some cultured adult rat and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) after she had noticed several strange cell clusters. Ken asks Mari to share what happened next and how this set her on the path to the discovery of Multilineage-Differentiating Stress-Enduring Cells. [00:16:03] Ken asks Mari to elaborate on this story and explain how a mistake led to this incredible discovery. [00:20:48] Ken explains that in 2008 Mari became professor and chair of the Department of Stem Cell Biology and Histology at Tohoku University Graduat...
