"I do not try to find myself in what I 'shoot,' but perhaps I want to see the position of the world I am in." -- Daido Moriyama "Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts." -- Minor White In this episode, Antonio and Ward catch up and talk about the trips they each took recently. Ward shares his experience traveling through Japan for eleven days, visiting Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Osaka. He talks about how he planned his photo approach ahead of time, but also how being in such a different place pushed him to adjust on the fly. There's a lot about the feeling of being there—the quiet streets, the pace of the subway system, the powerful visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, and what it was like photographing during the peak of cherry blossom season. Antonio then talks about a shorter but important trip he made to Lincoln, Nebraska. It was his first time flying in a long while, and also his first time seeing the place where he plans to move. He visited his girlfriend, met her kids and friends, and started to get a feel for the town and what life might be like there. He also made time to take some pictures and begin thinking about what kind of photography might come out of being in a new environment.   Photo Gallery: https://tinyurl.com/24tj8ubq   Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Trump rilancia la guerra commerciale con nuove minacce di dazi su tech e semiconduttori, dopo un'apparente tregua. La Cina risponde bloccando l'export di terre rare e magneti critici per l'industria, introducendo un sistema di licenze ora sospese, con possibili impatti gravi su settori strategici come auto, aerospazio e difesa. Il commento è di Giuliano Noci - Professore ordinario in Ingegneria Economico-Gestionale, insegna Strategia & Marketing presso il Politecnico di Milano. Dal 2011 è Prorettore del Polo territoriale cinese dell'Ateneo milanese.In tempi di dazi Aponte investe sui portiGianluigi Aponte (Msc) è il principale investitore in un'operazione da 23 miliardi per acquistare 43 porti del gruppo CK Hutchison. L'accordo, ostacolato dalla Cina e sotto scrutinio a Panama, vede coinvolti anche BlackRock e GIC. TiL, la divisione di Aponte, gestirà quasi tutti i porti tranne due a Panama. L'operazione è geopoliticamente delicata, ma resta in fase di approvazione. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti direttore di Newsmondo.it Al via l'Expo 2025: l'Italia presenta le sue eccellenze e il suo futuro al mondoAperto a Osaka l'Expo 2025, dove l'Italia si presenta con il Padiglione “L'arte rigenera la vita”, progettato da Mario Cucinella come una moderna Città ideale del Rinascimento.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports the Osaka Expo opens in Japan offering a vision of the future.

L'exposition universelle d'Osaka 2025 a ouvert ses portes ce 13 avril pour une durée de six mois. À l'heure où les équilibres géopolitiques vacillent en Asie, où les barrières douanières se redressent aux portes des États-Unis, le Japon ouvre les bras au monde entier pour dessiner les contours de la société de demain. Que peut une exposition universelle face aux incertitudes géopolitiques ? À une époque où certains États utilisent la force pour changer le statu quo et où le leadership américain apparait moins prévisible, le Japon s'impose comme un acteur majeur de la région Indo-Pacifique et de la nouvelle géopolitique mondiale. Discrète, Tokyo contribue pleinement à la dynamique des relations internationales contemporaines, forte d'une diplomatie d'influence centrée sur les valeurs libérales, la coopération entre États et le respect du droit international. Un soft power qui n'empêche pas la renaissance d'un certain militarisme. Quelle place pour le Japon dans la région Indo-Pacifique ? Quel rôle pour Tokyo dans la préservation des grands équilibres du monde actuel ? Quels défis face aux attaques à la fois de la Chine, de la Russie et des États-Unis… sans compter la Corée du Nord qui n'est pas loin ?Invités : Valérie Niquet, directrice du programme Japon à la Fondation pour la recherche stratégique, autrice de Le Japon en 100 questions Guibourg Delamotte, professeure de science politique à l'Inalco, spécialiste du Japon, autrice de La démocratie au Japon (ENS éditions) et Le Japon, un leader discret (Éd. Eyrolles) Robert Dujarric, codirecteur de l'Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies (ICAS) à Temple University JapanÉdition en partenariat avec la Revue internationale et stratégique : « Le Japon et les métamorphoses de la puissance ».

Weltausstellungen waren einmal die Schaufenster des Fortschritts, der technischen Leistungsfähigkeit, der Potenz ihrer Gastgeberländer und nicht zuletzt des Kapitalismus. Was ist davon noch übrig, wenn am 13. April die Expo 2025 in Osaka die Tore öffnet? Wie viel verbindende Kraft haben Weltausstellungen in der heutigen Zeit? Haben Expos noch eine Zukunft?

Once every semester I invite three students of mine from UAlbany to do a podcast featuring a decidedly younger point of view than mine. This is that chapter and outta the mouths of Zoomers you'l hear about the futility protesting, exhaustion over world events and fear of the future, Tik Tok and even the wonder of torpedo bats. Mirai Abe is an exchange student from Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka, Japan, to UAlbany where she studies journalism and sociology. She arrived in the US last August in time to learn English, take up a full load of classes, and write for the Albany Student Press as well as for the Japanese Student Association. She is interested in gender and sexuality in East Asia, American and Japanese politics, and social issues. Now a junior, she hopes to work as a local news reporter in the US after graduation. In her rare free time she is learning Korean, reads novels, and watches K-dramas. The biggest culture shock she faced coming to the US, she says, was seeing students wearing pajamas to classes.Sean Ramirez is a sophomore at UAlbany, double-majoring in journalism and political science. His passion for politics began through grassroots involvement, including volunteering in various upstate New York campaigns. He is an active contributor to the university's radio station, and engages with MAP, the Minorities and Philosophy organization, exploring the intersections of identity, ethics, and public discourse. He'd like to merge his interests in media and political analysis, so is aiming to amplify underrepresented voicesthrough storytelling and policy advocacy. Latoya Wilkinson is a junior at UAlbany studying journalism and English. A Brooklyn native, she has danced, acted, and played the violin since childhood. She says she learned from the arts the importance and the satisfaction of rich storytelling. She loves travel and exploration for the same reason she is drawn to reporting and is looking for a career finding and writing stories that matter.

El domingo 13 de abril se inaugura la Exposición Universal de Osaka, en Japón. A las puertas de tan importante cita tecnológica, nos asomamos a esta Expo y visitamos Kansai, la región donde se encuentra Osaka.

In our penultimate episode for this miniseries: Miyazaki Manabu narrowly escapes doing prison time, only to end up back in the underworld first of Osaka, and then Tokyo. And from there, he ends up square in the crosshairs of the police once again--this time as a suspect in one of the most infamous criminal cases in postwar history. Show notes here. 

From the second half of the nineteenth century, Japan has been a particularly enthusiastic user of exhibitions. Large-scale international exhibitions, including Osaka 2025, form only the tip of an iceberg comprising over 1,300 industrial, regional, and local exhibitions held in Japan over the past 150 years.  In Exhibitionist Japan: The Spectacle of Modern Development (Cambridge UP, 2025), Angus Lockyer explores how and why these events have been used as catalysts of development and arenas for fostering modern industry, empire, and nation. He traces their complicated genesis, realization, and reception, demonstrating that although they rarely achieve their stated aims, this does not undermine their utility - Japanese expos have provided a model subsequently adopted around the world. The history of this enthusiasm provides a more nuanced understanding of development in modern Japan, and emphasizes the shared experiences of global modernity. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this powerful conversation, author and advocate Alexus Smith joins us to discuss her book The Invisibility of Disabilities—a raw, honest look at what it means to navigate life with challenges others can't see. We talk about unseen barriers, the weight of being misunderstood, and the responsibility leaders have to create spaces where people feel seen without having to explain themselves. This episode is about awareness, empathy, and what real inclusion looks like beyond the surface.

En tu viaje por Japón pasarás por tres tipos de lugares comerciales con ciertas características comunes y alguna diferencia curiosa. Son las shotengai, chikagai y depachika. En este episodio te contamos qué son cada uno de estos sitios, cuál es su historia y te recomendamos algunos tanto en Tokio, Kioto como Osaka, y en algunas otras ciudades japonesas. Luego, en Japonismo mini, hablamos del Doctor Yellow recién retirado, de los cerezos, leemos los comentarios de japonistas y, en las palabras japonesas, te explicamos exactamente qué significa cada uno de los términos que hemos visto en este episodio y, también, cómo se dice "compras" (ya que en estos tres tipos de sitios eso es lo que harás, ir de compras). ¡Mata ne! ¿Quieres colaborar con el programa? - Colabora en Patreon - Únete a la Comunidad Japonismo - Reserva hoteles en Japón (y en todo el mundo) - Consigue seguro de viajes (¡no sólo para Japón!) - Busca los mejores vuelos - Lleva Internet (pocket wifi o SIM) - JR Pass para viajes ilimitados en tren ---- Continúa la conversación en: - Web: https://japonismo.com - Discord: https://discord.gg/hZrSa57 - Facebook: https://facebook.com/japonismo - Twitter: https://twitter.com/japonismo - Instagram: https://instagram.com/japonismo - Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/japonismo - Newsletter semanal: http://eepurl.com/di60Xn

On this episode of Japan Station, I talk to photographer and journalist Michael Magers. Michael has spent over a decade documenting shokunin (artisans/crafworkers) across Japan. During that time has has had many extremely unique expriences such as ama divers, participating in Osaka's infamous Danjiri Festival, and getting tattooed by a traditional Japanese tattoo artist. He talks about those experiences and much more in today's episode!

Lucy and Eugene sing Victoria Mboko's praises after her strong showing at the Miami Open where Jasmine Paolini – “The Queen of Italy” – made a run to the semi-finals after taking out Naomi Osaka en route. Osaka, who saw off Hailey Baptiste in the third round, also turned in some good performances during her run to the round of 16. Florida girl Coco Gauff, who dished out a bagel, also reached the last 16. Arthur Fils made it back-to-back Masters 1000 quarter-finals, getting the better of Frances Tiafoe and world No 2 Alexander Zverev along the way, before getting done in by some unfortunate scheduling. We also share our thoughts on the PTPA lawsuit, Daria Kasatkina becoming an Aussie, Sloane Stephen's Doc&Glo brand winning an award, Serena's tennis watching habits and grade the first quarter of 2025.

Le Japon est confronté à un phénomène préoccupant : la multiplication des akiyas (空き家), ces maisons abandonnées qui se comptent en millions à travers le pays. Selon le dernier recensement, environ 8,5 millions de logements sont considérés comme vacants, soit près de 14 % du parc immobilier. Plusieurs facteurs expliquent cette situation unique, alliant démographie en déclin, migrations internes et héritages compliqués.Un déclin démographique massifLe Japon connaît un vieillissement accéléré de sa population, avec un taux de natalité extrêmement bas et une population qui diminue depuis plusieurs années. En 2023, le pays comptait moins de 125 millions d'habitants, et cette baisse continue entraîne un exode rural massif. Dans de nombreuses campagnes et petites villes, les jeunes quittent leur région natale pour chercher du travail dans les grandes métropoles comme Tokyo, Osaka ou Nagoya. Résultat : des maisons familiales sont laissées à l'abandon, faute d'héritiers prêts à y habiter.Une migration vers les grandes villesL'urbanisation a profondément modifié la répartition de la population japonaise. Depuis les années 1950, les zones rurales se vident au profit des mégapoles dynamiques, où se concentrent les opportunités professionnelles. Des villages entiers se retrouvent presque désertés, avec une diminution des services publics et commerces, rendant ces zones encore moins attractives pour de nouveaux habitants.Un marché immobilier rigide et peu favorable à la rénovationAu Japon, les maisons perdent rapidement de leur valeur, à l'inverse des terrains sur lesquels elles sont construites. Une maison de 30 ans est souvent considérée comme obsolète, et les Japonais préfèrent construire du neuf plutôt que de rénover. De plus, les normes antisismiques évoluent régulièrement, rendant certains bâtiments trop coûteux à mettre à jour.Des héritages compliquésLorsqu'un propriétaire décède, les maisons sont souvent transmises aux héritiers. Mais entre taxes élevées, coûts d'entretien et manque d'intérêt, beaucoup préfèrent les laisser à l'abandon. Certaines akiyas appartiennent à plusieurs héritiers, rendant leur gestion complexe et bloquant leur mise en vente.Des initiatives pour revitaliser ces maisonsFace à cette crise, certaines municipalités proposent des programmes incitatifs, comme des ventes à prix symbolique (1 000 à 10 000 euros) ou des subventions pour la rénovation. Mais inverser la tendance reste un défi de taille.Ainsi, la prolifération des akiyas reflète des enjeux profonds : vieillissement de la population, exode rural et marché immobilier rigide. Un problème que le Japon devra relever dans les années à venir. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

It's time for some hidden history, dear one!! Did you know one of Japan's most famous artists had a secret weapon? And no, it wasn't just his paintbrush! In this episode, we uncover the fascinating, overlooked story of Katsushika Oi, the daughter (and possible secret collaborator) of the legendary Hokusai! Oi wasn't just any artist—she was a bold, brilliant painter who worked in the shadow of her famous father. Her work, including the stunning 'Night Scene in the Yoshiwara,' showcased her mastery of light and color. But was she merely an assistant, or did she play a far bigger role in Hokusai's masterpieces? Join us as we dive into her life, her art, and the reasons history nearly erased her. Spoiler: This is hidden women's history at its finest! What You'll Learn in This Episode:
