Véronique Sels "Portrait de Mandelbaum" (CFC)Stéphane Mandelbaum (1961-1986) est une comète aux talents fulgurants. Dessinateur, peintre, voyant de sa propre existence, il imagine ses premières funérailles à 4 ans, réalise son premier autoportrait en grand format à 15 ans et tire sa révérence à 25 ans laissant sous nos yeux une oeuvre colossale. Cette biographie fictionnelle est écrite à la première personne. Grand dyslexique et dessinateur prodige, né dans une famille d'artistes, Mandelbaum a très tôt confondu sa vie et son oeuvre.Hanté par la violence, celle du siècle avec la Shoah, celle d'artistes "sulfureux" qui l'ont fasciné (Pasolini, Bacon, Oshima...), happé par un imaginaire du banditisme et de la pègre qu'il a en partie partagé avec ses frères, il finira par passer à l'acte à 25 ans, laissant de côté le dessin pour rejoindre le sort tragique des assassinés dans le cadre d'un règlement de compte suite à un vol à main armée.Trente ans après sa mort violente, l'oeuvre de Stéphane Mandelbaum rayonne comme jamais.Musique :Yiddish Song - Belz, Mayn Shtetele BelzHébergé par Ausha.

Genetic switches in tumor developmentHello and welcome to the NanoLSI podcast. Thank you for joining us today. In this episode we feature the latest research by Masanobu Oshima at the Kanazawa University NanoLSI.The research described in this podcast was published in Cancer Research in November 2023Kanazawa University NanoLSI websitehttps://nanolsi.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/en/Genetic switches in tumor developmentResearchers at Kanazawa University report in Cancer Research how Kras and p53 mutations influence the tumor suppressor and promoter functions of a TGF- ß pathway. The findings may lead to a new approach for colorectal cancer therapy.Both the progression and the suppression of tumors are governed by biomolecular processes. Often, a particular process is involved in either cancer progression or suppression. Cancer treatment in the form of drugs then typically focuses on the respective deactivation or activation of the relevant biomolecular process. However, it has been established that a process known as transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) signaling*1 plays a role in both tumor suppression and progression. Now, Masanobu Oshima from Kanazawa University and colleagues have studied the precise genetic conditions underlying the outcome of TGF-ß signaling. Their findings may help the development of new therapeutic strategies for particular cancers.The suppressive effect of TGF-ß signaling happens through the stimulation of cell differentiation — the process through which dividing cells acquire their type or function. The malignant progression of cancers, on the other hand, comes from a process called epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), in which an epithelial cell transforms into a mesenchymal cell type. The former is a ‘stationary' type of cell, found in epithelial tissue, whereas the latter is a more ‘migratory' type of cell found in development and cancer.So how did they investigate these processes and what did they found out?Oshima and colleagues performed experiments with tumor-derived organoids. They confirmed that TGF-ß family cytokine, activin plays a role in tumor suppression and progression dependent on the mutation types of driver genes. In certain cancer cells treated with activin, the researchers noted that the partial EMT is induced with tumor aggressiveness and development. On the other hand, certain mutated activin receptors were found to have cancer suppressor capabilities, which made the scientists conclude that genetic alterations underlie the dual function of activins.One of the two relevant genes is Kras which relays signals that regulate cell growth, division and differentiation. Oshima and colleagues found that a mutation of Kras blocks TGF-ß/activin-induced growth suppression. The other gene is known as Trp53, which encodes tumor protein 53, playing an important role in cancer regulation. A combination of Kras and Trp53 mutations at hot spots, known as gain-of-function mutation, was found to not just block tumor suppression but promote partial EMT and tumor proliferation.The experiments were done with mouse intestinal tumor-derived organoids with defined genetic backgrounds, which makes the results relevant for therapeutic strategies for human colorectal cancer. Quoting the scientists: “Based on these results, the control of TGF- ß/activin signaling appears to be an important preventive and therapeutic strategy against the malignant progression of colorectal cancer carrying […] mutations”.ReferenceDong Wang, Mizuho Nakayama, Chang Pyo Hong, Hiroko Oshima, and Masanobu Oshima.

J., Konishi, S. Abstract: The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the central clock for circadian rhythms. Animal studies have revealed daily rhythms in the neuronal activity in the SCN. However, the circadian activity of the human SCN has remained elusive. In this study, to reveal the diurnal variation of the SCN activity in humans, the SCN was localized, and its activity was investigated using perfusion imaging. We scanned each participant four times a day, every six hours, and higher activity was observed at noon while lower activity was recorded in the early morning. The SCN activity was then measured every thirty minutes for six hours from midnight to dawn and showed a decreasing trend and was comparable with the rodent SCN activity after switching off the lights. These results suggest that the diurnal variation of the human SCN follows the zeitgeber cycles of mammals and is modulated by physical lights rather than the local time.

Last time we spoke about about the emerging war between Big brother China and Little brother Japan. Li Hongzhang struggled to do everything he possible could to thwart the outbreak of war with Japan, but he could not stop the inevitable. The Japanese began landing troops and soon seized King Gojong trying to force Korea to take up the reforms they wanted them to. Li Hongzhang tried to keep the Qing forces at a distance, but the Japanese would not stop reinforcing their position in Korea. Eventually Li Hongzhang decided to play with what he thought was a Japanese bluff, sending further reinforcements to Asan, but the IJN intercepted the transports and disaster struck. The IJN sank the Kowshing and other Qing vessels ushering in the first shots of the First Sino-Japanese War. The Genie was out of the bottle and could not be put back in.   #50 The First Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895 Part 2: The battles of Seonghwan and Pyongyang   Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson. But, before we start I want to also remind you this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube. Perhaps you want to learn more about the history of Asia? Kings and Generals have an assortment of episodes on history of asia and much more  so go give them a look over on Youtube. So please subscribe to Kings and Generals over at Youtube and to continue helping us produce this content please check out www.patreon.com/kingsandgenerals. If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. The battle of Pungdo and sinking of the Kowshing robbed the Qing of 1100 men and 12 pieces of artillery along with other war materials that were needed at Asan. It's important also to remember the major differences between Japan and China when it came to their military forces. The Qing were composed of multiple different forces, as a journalist at Le Journal des debats politiques et litteraires said “there are chinese troops: there is no Chinese army, or rather there are as many armies as there are regions”. I know for those of you listening to the series I repeat the structure of the Qing military too often, but I imagine some people listening only joined us for the First Sino-Japanese War, so welcome and here is how the Qing military works. You have the 1) 8-banners army made up of Manchu, Mongol, Muslim and Han banners, 2) the Green Standard army which can be honestly seen more as a armed police force, made mostly because the 8-banners were very outdated 3) then there is the Yong Ying militias and hired mercenaries 4) lastly we have the foreign training army which are basically private armies held by grand officials like Li Hongzhang. The Yong-Ying's were pretty much the bread and butter, serving as a kind of national guard and sent to hot spots within the empire where rebels would break out. Many of these Yong-Ying types received foreign training thus fall into that 4th category, making them like the cream of the crop. Overall Yong-Ying's and well trained troops make up 10% of the total Qing forces, the Green standards make up the vast majority. Li Hongzhang like I said had a personal army, the Huai Army, created to fight the Taiping back in the 1860's. They were the elites, but as Li aged, he lessened his oversee on them. Adding to Li's age, the Qing court was reluctant to fund such an army, led by a Han no less, who might become too powerful and unseat their Manchu ruled dynasty. I mean they had good reason to worry, Li Hongzhang's teacher Zeng Guofan got to a point he could have done this with his army, he just chose to retire instead, kind of a Sulla thing to do I always find. Now as you can see the Qing military is quite regional in nature with many warlord like figures controlling private armies and the Qing state controlling the less effective forces, it severely lacked unity. So to was the situation of the Qing navy. There were 4 autonomous squadrons: the Beiyang (northern), Nanyang (southern), Fujian and Guangdong. Only the Beiyang possessed a modern fleet based at Weihaiwei and under the control of Li Hongzhang, yes old Li had a lot of firepower. China's arsenals and naval academics were the property of their province of origin and count not be counted on to supply other provinces in the event of…oh I dunno a war. We saw during the Sino-French War of 1884-1885 how this could led to disaster, when Li's Beiyang fleet declined to help the Nanyang fleet. Well, that decision came to bite him right in the ass, as now it would be the Nanyang fleet who would ignore his calls for him. Even within the Beiyang fleet, the guns and ammunition were not standardized. Gunpowder was local and not appropriate for import guns resulting in logistical mayhem. The supply system was likewise very ad hoc and prone to flaws leading to the Beiyang squadron grossly undersupplied. Again another reason for all of this ridiculousness, was the Manchu not wanting the Han military to be strong enough to overthrow them. The Manchu deliberately prevented the creation of a unified national army, it was the basis of their strategy since they defeated the Ming dynasty. The German press would focus on the fundamental weaknesses of the Qing land forces and on the eve of the war an article stated this “the lack of a unified command. Each of the provincial armies was the personal creation of that province's governor. It is naturally in the interest of each [provincial] Viceroy to retain the fruit of his exertions for himself; in no case is he inclined to come to the assistance of a neighbour who is worse provided, and incur the danger of denuding his own province, for whose safety he is responsible with his head. The same system of individual responsibility applied down through the military ranks. It squelched initiative and promoted defensive rather than preemptive action. By this system, common action is virtually excluded." It really was a terrible system, backed by horrific punishment for failure. Punishments ranged from exile to cudgel blows to executions. If you failed to hold your position against an enemy attack you were decapitated. If you destroyed arms the Qing government gave you, you would receive a lethal number of cudgel blows. In an era of slow communications, this made things a nightmare for commanders in the field, you could not retreat because of decapitation and could not destroy your weapons to prevent them from falling into enemy hands. Basically Qing officers would be forced to go into battle as scheduled and stay there until victory or death.  In contrast the Japanese as described by the same German article as before "When three decades ago, Japan awoke out of the sleep of her isolation and attached herself to the civilisation of the West, her first care was the re-organisation of her army. The result may truly be called astonishing. The Japanese army is in reality a European force and any one of their army divisions, with the exception of the cavalry, which is small and would look badly mounted, might march through the streets of any town on the Continent, without, at first sight, being recognised as Oriental troops." Though obviously 19th century racist, it indeeds shows how Japan had what we would consider a modern army. The Times of London had this to say about them "They are brave, temperate, patient, and energetic, and though the Chinese might be made, under European officers, as fine soldiers as they are, at this moment they are about 200 years behind them; and, although the victory is not always to the strong, as found out in the Boer campaign, from every data that a soldier can judge by the Japanese should beat the Chinese in Korea with the greatest ease." Indeed the Japanese army was based on the Prussian model, with universal conscription and a standard term for service. They had Murata Type 18 Breech-loading rifles with the same type of ammunition, 75mm field guns and mountain pieces based on Krupp design. While the Qing scrambled for the right ammunition, when it could be found at all because of the rampant corruption involving embezzlement of military funds, the Japanese had excellent materials and logistical capabilities.  The Japanese navy was based on the British and French, adopting the Jeune D'école doctrine. While the Qing had some large foreign purchased battleships, the Japanese focused on arming faster cruisers to combat them. Now the Japanese military strategy for this war was to first seize control of the sea so they could transport soldiers to the mainland at will. From there the IJA would invade Korea to expel the Chinese. Once Korea was occupied, Japan would strike at Weihaiwei which would provide naval access to Peking. This could be followed up with an invasion of Zhili province, though that notably would be an enormous task. The IJA invading forces would be in two groups; the 1st IJA under Yamagata Aritomo who would invade Korea and enter Manchuria from the north and the 2nd IJA under Marshal Oyama Iwao who would invade Manchuria from the south and attack the Liaodong Peninsula, hoping to meet the 1st IJA at Weihaiwei afterwards.  For both nations the only efficient way to deploy troops to Korea was via the sea. There could be no war if Japan could not ferry her troops, and for China despite sharing landmass, the situation was arguably the same. China had the railway line between Tianjin to the cost and north to Shanhaiguan, but that was as good as it got, it did not reach the Korean border. The road system in Manchuria was terrible adding to the logistical issue. Japan's military got the Japan mail steamship company to lend her 90 steamships to transport the troops to alleviate other warships for military tasks. On the other side, the Chinese merchant fleet which was about ⅓ the size of Japans barely helped them. An article from Berlin's Neue Preussische Zeitung stating “China has 40 troop transports versus Japan's 450”. It was obvious to all, controlling the sea would win the war. The Pall Mall Gazette interviewed a long-time resident of Japan who predicted the war would be won at sea, stating "Which ever side holds the chief commercial ports of Korea...with the capital, completely controls the country. If Japan succeeds at the outset in sweeping the Chinese from those waters...she wins the key to the whole situation. It would be impossible for China to send up troops since the land route entailed an enormous distance where provisioning and feeding a large army would be unmanageable even for a well-organized European nation." Despite all of this, the Chinese leadership believed they held time on their side and that a war of attrition would see them victorious. They also had considerable assets in the Beiyang fleet, such as their two great ironclad battleships, the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. However the Qing warships were overagged and basically obsolete. The ships were ill maintained, their crews lacked discipline. The Qing ships were much slower than the Japanese. The Qing battleships main armament was short barreled guns in twin barbettes mounted in echelon which could only fire in restricted arcs. Their short barrels meant their shells had a low muzzle velocity, poor penetration and terrible accuracy at long range. The Japanese emphasized quick firing guns, quicker ships and would outfire the Qing dramatically. There is honestly a litany of issues with the Beiyang fleet, take the signals books issued to it, they were all written in English, a language very few Beiyang officers understood. Regardless, I do not want to delve too much on the Beiyang fleet here, because that is certainly going to come about later. When the Japanese began landing forces at Chemulpo, Li Hongzhang had missed a key opportunity to destroy their transports. He made a crucial strategic error, ordering his fleet to sortie east of the Yalu-River, away from the Korean Peninsula. Basically he was trying to minimize any risk to his precious two battleships. He opted to use his fleet to deter attacks and help the Qing convoys of troops. His mindset was that of a “prevent-defeat strategy”, he sought to preserve his navy, this decision ceded the initiative to the Japanese. Now the Japanese could choose the timing and location of hostilities. Obviously Li believed time was on his side and that eventually they would overwhelm the Japanese with pure numbers. He was prolonging as much as he could, there was also a belief the winter months would hurt the Japanese, while the Manchu warriors would hold a distinct advantage.  Now as a result of Li Hongzhang trying to thwart further conflict, the Qing had deliberately encamped their forces outside Seoul. General Ye Zhichao had 3000 men stationed at Seonghwan and another 1000 at his HQ in Cheonan, just a bit northeast of Asan. He had been hunkering down awaiting the arrival of reinforcements, but the battle of Pungdo and loss of the Kowshing delivered an enormous setback to this. Major General Oshima had roughly 4000 men with him and he began to march upon Asan from Seoul. Ye Zhichao was very aware of this and had his men erected forts, dug trenches, made earthworks, and flooded surrounding rice paddies. Ze Zhichao planned a pincer attack against Seoul, by massing troops at Pyongyang in the north and Asan in the south. The Japanese divided their forces to make a night attack: a small diversionary force would engage the Qing at the front while the main bulk would march upon their rear flank. The diversionary force consisted of 4 companies of infantry with one engineer who began their attack on the night of July 28th. Meanwhile 9 companies of infantry, 1 cavalry and a battalion of artillery snuck around the Qing defensive lines by crossing the Ansong river. The Qing fought hard but were unable to hold out. The Qing forces at Seonghwan had to flee for their lives back to Asan which was 10 miles southwest, and in doing so they left a large amount of weapons and supplies. The Japanese pursued them to Asan where further disaster struck the Chinese. Despite spending over 3 weeks fortifying the area, it seems their defeat at Seonghwan had broken their morale, as the Qing forces at Asan literally fled upon seeing the Japanese approaching the city. As a result the Japanese took Asan the next day. The Chinese were estimated to have 500 casualties while serving the Japanese 34 deaths and 54 wounded. The Chinese survivors fled towards Pyongyang, which would be a brutal 26 day march as they had to detour widely to avoid being hit by Japanese forces coming out of Seoul. The victory confounded columnists who all came to a similar conclusion that “the Chinese forces fight badly and are ill equipped”. A reporter for the Yokohama based Japan Weekly Mail had this to say : "The Chinese are indeed skilled in the art of running away. As they fled they generally cast off their uniforms and donning the clothes of Koreans made the best of their way to what they considered safe places. The directions toward which they fled are unmistakably indicated by the cast-off uniforms. Even the Vice-commander of the Chinese troops appears to have been tempted to avail himself of this method, for his uniform was left behind in camp." It would be a theme played out during this war. The Qing forces would take the habit of disguising themselves as civilians to escape battles. This would unfortunately result in many Japanese troops not trusting Chinese civilians near battlefields leading to atrocities. It is plain to see why Qing troops did this, as we have already seen, retreating was met with extremely harsh punishment, you were better off trying to escape into the crowd. A commander from the Shanghai based North-China Herald had a different take on the battle of Seonghwan "The Chinese have retired from the Yashan [Asan] district after several day's heavy fighting, 10,000 Japanese against 3,500 Chinese. In the first days, the Japanese met with a sharp reverse and severe losses, the Chinese loss being unimportant. On July 29th the Chinese withdrew, leaving the camp in charge of a guard of 300 men, who were attacked and captured by an overwhelming force of Japanese before dawn. The guard was killed. The Japanese lost 500 men, found only heavy baggage in the camp, and took no prisoners, many Chinese noncombatants in the vicinity being slain." Despite such claims, the Japanese had not engaged a small guard at Asan, it was the main body of Qing forces. The Qing had been handily defeated and alongside the men lost a ton of equipment. The Qing court had no way of knowing any of this however, because of the cell like structure of their military, who would simply report back to them victories or very minor defeats. In fact on August 3rd, General Ye Zhichao was congratulated in an imperial decree for quote “killing over 2000 Woren”, he received bonus payment for himself and his troops. Later on when the Qing court figured out what really happened, General Ye would escape decapitation only because he used the bonus payments to pay off officials to speak on his behalf.  From the offset of the war the Qing government had a policy of publicizing false war bulletins, but the realities of what was actually happening on the battlefields could not be concealed from the western viewers. Every battle was reported a Chinese triumph in China and this actually was very reminiscent of our tale of the French-Sino War. A small article sprang up from a British reporter in Shanghai stating this "I read somewhere during the Franco-Chinese war [of 1884-5] the native papers of Shanghai reported the death of Admiral Courbet thirty-seven times, while the number of the killed among the French, according to these reliable (?) sheets reached 1,600,000. The amount of falsehood which these papers have poured forth since the commencement of the 'War of Pygmies and Pigtails' is simply astounding. O, that the word liar' had the same force in Chinese as in English for no other purpose than to enable one to tell a celestial, You are a liar!'" There are a wide variety of reasons the Qing government pumped up the propaganda this way. Ironically a major reason was because of their policy of decapitating defeated commanders. The Qing court officials also had barely any real knowledge of what was going on because 1) all the commanders were sending false reports back to them and 2) when defeated commanders were brought back to Beijing, they were beheaded so fast they never got to make real reports of what occurred on the battlefield. The court would only really begin to figure things out in times of war when the battles got closer to Beijing! And above all else, the Qing court could not allow the bad reports to get to the Han public out of fear they would rise up to topple their Manchu rule, something that remained their top obsession throughout the Dynasties lifetime.  After the defeat at Asan a rumor emerged that the Emperor had demoted Li Hongzhang by stripping him of the Order of the Yellow Riding Jacket. Many speculated Li was demoted because he failed to thwart war. Regardless Li Hongzhangs presumed demotion cast a shadow over his ability to perform official dealings. Li Hongzhang would tragically become a very useful Han scapegoat for the Qing dynasty.  Now while the loss at Asan meant the Qing plan to perform a pincer attack against Seoul was lost, it certainly did not mean the loss of Korea however. The bulk of Qing forces were stationed at Pyongyang, the old capital of Korea. The city sat on the right bank of the Taedong River which was large enough to provide a shipping route to the sea. Holding Pyongyang was imperative, it defended the approach to the Yalu river and behind that lay Manchuria, Qing soil. Pyongyang was surrounded by the wide river to the east and south, with cliffs along the river banks, mountains to the north and the massive city with fortified walls that could prolong a siege. The Qing seemed to hold all the major advantages, they had been massing troops and supplies and constructing fortifications at Pyongyang for almost 2 months. Altogether the Qing had 13,000 troops dispersed at 27 forts surrounded by trenches and moats. The majority of the Qing troops also arrived to Pyongyang by boat, while the Japanese all have to trek overland, via miserable Korean roadways crossing mountains and rivers. The Qing had invested a lot in Pyongyang because they were not just defending the city, they intended to recapture the rest of Korea using it as a main base, thus it was given their most modern equipment. Some Qing troops would carry American Winchester rifles, they had in total four artillery pieces, 6 machine guns and 28 mountain guns. On paper this looked wonderful for them, however there were serious problems. The reality of the situation was summed up just prior to the battle by the Pall Mall Gazette s "from more than one source agree that the Chinese army in Northern Korea is in a deplorable condition. The generals are said to be grossly incompetent, the minor officers discontented and disheartened, and the rank and file exhausted and dispirited. What roads there were a month ago have been washed away by floods. Transport through Manchuria to Korea is impossible; guns, ammunition, and food stores are blocked, and spoiling all along the long route southward. Food is becoming scarcer every day at the front.” The four Chinese commanders at Pyongyang each commanded their own army, but none adequately coordinated with the others. When the Japanese attacked, they did parcel out static defensive sectors, but this became more of a hindrance than help. Their plan was very simple: if their lines failed to hold out at Pyongyang, surely they would be able to hold out at Yalu….yes great plan. The Qing commanders in the field had no real worst-case scenario plans. Weak logistics and organization plagued the Qing forces throughout the war.  Now for the Japanese, Pyongyang held symbolic importance going all the way back to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion during the 16th century. After the victory at Seonghwan, the Japanese held a reinforced brigade about 8000 strong within Korea led by General Oshima. Around 7000 of these troops were concentrated around Seoul and Chemulpo. The Japanese controlled southern Korea and it was time to expel the Chinese from it completely. The Japanese had 4 routes to march upon Pyongyang from; one via Chemulpo; one from Pusan; one from Wonsan and another done amphibiously, by landing on the eastern coast near the mouth of the Taedong River. The Japanese were hard pressed for time, as every day could see more Qing forces marching into Korea from Manchuria. Thus the route from Pusan was rejected and they opted for sending the bulk of their forces to march from CHemulpo on the west coast and two smaller forces from Wonsan on the east. The idea to land forces at the mouth of the Taedong river was not rejected outright, but they were going to only consider it as a last resort.  The Chemulpo force would be the 1st Army led by Marshal Yamagata Aritomo consisting of the 5th provisional Hiroshima division led by Lt General Nozu Michitsura and the 3rd provisional Nagoya division led by General Katsura Taro. Although Aritomo held overall command, he did not land at Chemulpo until September 12th, thus Lt General Nozu commanded the 1st Army against Pyongyang. His Wonson column was led by Colonel Sato Tadashi; another from Sangnyong was led by Major General Tatsumi Naobumi with the Combined Brigade led by Major General Oshima Yoshimasa. Nozu's plan was for the combined brigade to make a frontal assault from the south, while his main division attacked from the southwest and flanking maneuvers would be carried out by the two columns.  On September 15th approximately 10,000 Japanese troops made a three-pronged attack on Pyongyang. At 4:30am on the 15th, the attack began from the east with an artillery barrage on the forts along the west bank of the Taedong river to divert the Chinese attention from the main attack. The Japanese feigned an attack from the south while Nozu and Oshima performed flanking maneuvers to deliver a massive blow from the north. The Japanese army's main bulk designated to hit from the southwest would actually not end up participating in the main attack that broke through the principal Chinese fortifications. The fighting was fierce, with the Chinese launching repeated cavalry charges, igniting prearranged blazes, picture the scene from the last samurai if you saw that amazing film, by the way I did a review of it on the pacific war channel hint hint. The Japanese found themselves in blazes of fire and repeatedly being charged upon by cavalry units and while it was certainly valiant and showcased the bravery of the Qing forces, it was unbelievably stupid. The Qing had not taken advantage of the natural barrier that was the Taedong river and literally charged into the field, instead of forcing the Japanese to march through a muddy nightmare. There was no attempt to attack the Japanese columns as they crossed the river when they were extremely vulnerable. The Japanese had utterly failed to prepare the necessary equipment for crossing the Taedong river, they had no pontoon bridges so they ended up just stealing Korean river boats to ferry troops in secret. This was an enormous opportunity to smash the Japanese, but the Qing utterly failed to grab it.  The Japanese successfully deceived the Chinese as to where their main attack was coming from. The 24 hour long battle saw heavy rain, causing massive amounts of mud for the Japanese to march through. The Japanese artillery was too far back initially to be effective, leading the vanguard troops who had taken the first line of Qing defense, some earthworks to abandon them in the morning. This ironically caused the Qing to begin writing reports to the Chinese press that they had already won the battle and that the Japanese were even fleeing. In reality the Columns from Wonsan and Sangnyong had seized the major fortress at Moktan-tei, due north of Pyongyang, giving the Japanese a position to bring their artillery to bare upon the city walls. Once their artillery began raining hell from Moktan-tei the Qing's defensive position was shattered and they offered their surrender at 4:30 on the 15th.  During the night many Qing forces tried to flee for the coast and border town of Wiju along the lower reaches of the Yalu river. Japanese snipers killed large numbers of the fleeing Chinese as they did. As a result of the surrender, in the morning two Japanese columns entered the northern gate of the city unopposed, but because there was no way to communicate this with rest of the forces, the main bulk of the Japanese army continued its attack against the city's west gate. Later that day they would find it all undefended to their surprise. Later that morning the Combined brigade entered the city through the south gate. After seizing control of the city it was estimated the Qing casualties were around 2000 killed with 4000 wounded while the Japanese only reported 102 deaths and 433 wounded. 700 Chinese were taken prisoner, many escaped north fleeing for the Yalu. Many believed “the flower of the Chinese army was all but annihilated at Pyongyang”, indeed Li Hongzhang's elite Huai army with the best equipment had lost there. Though there was also rumors in China that Li Hongzhang actually held back his best troops. A reporter at the Japan Weekly Mail had this to say : "What resistance was made could not have been very great. This is the more surprising, as the Chinese took possession of the city on the 4th of August and had ample time to thoroughly entrench themselves." Commander of the British Royal Artillery at Colchester, Colonel J.F Maurice had this to say about the battle "Field Marshal Yamagata has conducted the campaign in the most brilliant manner, and his tactics would not have disgraced a Western general." One article from the North China Herald noted the ethnic loyalties that did not look too good for the Manchu “ Troops under the Moslem general Zuo Baogui had fought very well until he had perished in combat. In contrast, the Manchu troops have hitherto proved themselves utterly untrustworthy. The Jilin Manchus are far more intent on hunting for something to fill their opium pipes, than on doing anything to uphold the dynasty which has pampered them for so long a time that they seem to have concluded that the dynasty exists for their special benefit. The forces of the Jilin division remained under the separate command of a Manchu general. The Manchu forces at Pyongyang "retreated almost intact" rather than fight." Indeed the Muslim General Zuo Baogui, a Shandong citizen died in action from Japanese artillery and a memorial was constructed for him. It did not look good for the Manchu, and countless Han readers would have been ignited with bitterness about this. At Pyongyang it was reported, the Qing left behind 35 good field guns, hundreds of magazine rifles, hundreds of breechloaders, 2000 tents and 1700 horses. The magazine rifles were noted to be superior to the Japanese Murata rifles. Hallmarks of the Qing campaign for the war were present at Pyongyang; the abandonment of large quantities of war supplies; the looting and abuse of local civilian populations; the torture and mutilations of POW's and the use of civilian attire to flee the scene. up the abandoned supplies. The New York Times described the fleeing Chinese as "only too apparent. Rifles, swords, and ammunition, which they had thrown away in their haste to escape, were constantly being found. The fugitives had acted the part of bandits. Villages had been pillaged and afterwards set on fire. Farms had been destroyed and all the stored produce burned. The Korean natives who had resisted the robbers had been ruthlessly slaughtered. Many bodies were found hacked with spear thrusts. The whole line of retreat was one scene of desolation."According to a reporter at Moskovskie vedomosti, "The people fear Chinese soldiers much more than the invasion by the Japanese." The Qing troops had little choice but to plunder or starve because their military's logistics were frankly a joke. Plunder was the only solution for the Chinese soldier while the Japanese soldier had a modern logistical line keeping them going.  Western observations were notably disgusting with how the Qing treated POW's, after all many nations had signed the August 22nd 1864 Geneva convention mandating the protection of POW's. But in retrospect, the Qing could not even take care of their own forces let alone the mouths of the enemy. There was also the issue of how the Qing had an official reward system built on payment per head. However that does not explain the wide ranging atrocities committed such as disembowelment, removal of facial features, extraction of livers, cutting off of penises and so on. The Qing penal code held insurrection to be “the worst of the ten abominations” and the Chinese most likely considered the Japanese actions to be basically an insurrection against their confucian order meriting the most severe punishments. Punishments under the penal code short of execution included cangue, handcuffs, shackles, caning, ankle crushers, finger crushers, the Chinese rack and the ever favorite prolong kneeling on chains. A lot of the horror was due to the Chinese views of their own cultural supremacy and disgust for barbarians. The American secretary of state ordered his consul in Shanghai to hand over to the Qing authorities two Japanese found spying. The Qing officials promised no harm would come to them, but we are left with this account. “The tortures included kneeling on chains while their captors stood on their legs, the removal of fingernails, the crushing of tongues, the pouring of boiling water on their handcuffed wrists until the metal reached the bone, the smashing of their groins, and decapitation just before they expired from all the other abuses” The Japanese coming off the bad publicity of the Kowshing incident took the opportunity to earn recognition from the west by showcasing how their modern Japanese medical units treated the Chinese POW's with utmost care. The Japanese military transported around 600 POW's to Tokyo, 111 of whom were sick or wounded who notably received top quality care. A correspondent from The Japan Weekly Mail had this to say "What has proved a thousand times more interesting to me is the way the Chinese prisoners and wounded have been treated, and for this I hardly know how to express my admiration...I had some conversation with a captured commander. He said he could not understand the meaning of the Japanese kindness...I went from there to the hospital for wounded Chinese. They were treated exactly as if they were Japanese...I do not see how Japan can be refused the place she rightly claims among the civilized nations of the world." Again, this is from a Japanese correspondent. After the battle of Pyongyang, there would be scant to no reports about the welfare of Qing POW's. Diaries from Japanese soldiers after the war would indicate the Japanese were not interested in taking POW's since they would just burden their supply lines as they marched deeper into Manchuria.

The battles of Seonghwan and Pyongyang have caused the Qing forces to flee all the way to the last existing natural barrier before Manchuria, the Yalu River. While the Qing be able to stop the Japanese from marching upon their land?  

Last time we spoke about the assassination of Kim Ok-kyun and the Donhak Rebellion. Conflicts between China and Japan had heated up to the boiling point at last. The pro Japanese politician Kim Ok-kyun was assassinated serving also as an insult towards Japan. The Beiyang Fleet's visit to Nagasaki resulted in embarrassment and an awkward threat for Japan. Japan was not happy with the SINO situation and actively began building her navy to have the capability of facing off against the Beiyang fleet. Then a violent rebellion of the Donghak faith emerged in Korea prompting a very panicked King Gojong to call upon his Qing allies for aid. The Qing took up the call for help and although it differs from source to source, did or did not notify the Japanese of their actions. Regardless, both China and Japan prepared forces that would embark for Korea. The chess pieces were on the board and now things were set into motion that could not be undone.   #49 The First Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895 Part 1: The Battle of Pungdo   Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. The Tonghak rebels can be seen more as a symptom than a disease of the ailing Joseon dynasty. She was a nation stuck between two tigers, two tigers who were both trying to eat her. The turmoil of the later half of the 19th century was tearing Korea apart. Her citizens were forced into this quasi black and white choice between China or Japan, particularly when it came to the topic of modernization. The Tonghak followers were rallying against a tyrannical government who were overtaxing them. Major revolts occurred in 1885, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891, 1892 and 1893. By February of 1894 the unrest rose dramatically and in April the Tonghaks were in a full scale open rebellion. The target of their hatred were the corrupt officials oppressing them through over taxation and incompetency. But one thing that is funny about the Tonghak story, one that is almost never mentioned, is rumors spread to the Tonghaks that China and Japan were on the verge of sending troops and this prompted them on June 1st to agree to a cease-fire to remove the possibility of foreign intervention. Well that should have been the end of our story, China and Japan keep their boys home and the 3 nations lived happily ever after? On June 2nd, the Japanese cabinet decided to send troops to Korea, if China did so, they also made sure to muzzle any political opposition by asking the emperor to dissolve the lower chamber of the diet. We have the official documentation to back this, thus if China did not send troops, Japan would not have a justification to send there's, however a problem arose. The next day, King Gojong on the recommendation of the Min clan and Yuang Shikai, requested China send troops to help suppress the rebellion. King Gojong had thus unwittingly given the hawkish Japanese military leaders the pretext they desired for so long, another chance to intervene in Korea on a large scale. Why did the Min clan push King Gojong to do this despite the Tonghak basically calling a truce? Turns out the Tonghak's were particularly targeting the Min clan and their allies and there were rumors they had contact with the Daewongun. Within a few days Japan is on a military footing. On June 5th the first IJA HQ is established and on the 6th the ministries of the IJA and IJN issued instructions to the press not to print any information concerning warlike operations, they mean business. Despite this many Japanese news outlets ignore the order, leading to countless being suspended for a day. Now again the sources are sticky with how this part goes down, but on June 7th, China notified Japan in accordance with the Treaty of Tianjin. The notification states that China is sending 2000 troops to Nanyang, which is located on the coast between Seoul and Asan. Within hours of receiving the notification, Japan sends its own notice to China that it is also sending troops, which is in line with the treaty. Also at this same time the Asahi Shinbun reports that Russia is sending ground forces and warships to Korea. It seems the Asahi Shinbun made this report largely to compare the actions of Japan and China to a western power, alongside noting how much Japan had modernized. Remember, Japan's Meiji restoration began exclusively as a means to thwart colonization, but by this point Japan now seeks to become a world power. Japan is emulating the greatest nations of the world, and the actions she will take for the following years certainly emphasize that. Within days, 2000 Japanese IJA forces have landed and are marching towards Seoul despite the Korean government pleading for them to refrain from sending forces. It is far too late however, the troops are arriving and it seems Japan was prepared well in advance to do this. In accordance with the treaty of Tianjin, the end of the rebellion meant that China and Japan no longer had legitimate grounds to send forces and should have withdrawn. But Japan began making claims their troop deployment was necessary for the protection of their embassy, consulates and citizens within Korea. Now by the 8th, 4000 Japanese soldiers and 500 sailors have landed at Jemulpo, current day Incheon. A public ceasefire acknowledge for the Donghak rebellion is issued on the 11th, though it is already known days before. The harbor of Incheon looks like its participating in an international naval show. On the 13th 9 IJN warships and transports along with 4 Beiyang warships are anchored there. Alongside them are an assortment of international ships from nations like Russia, Britain, France and America. Also on the 13th the Japanese government sends a telegraph to the commander of Japanese forces in Korea, Otori Keisuke to keep the forces within Korea for as long as possible despite the public announcement that the Donghak rebellion is over. On the 15th another 8 more Japanese transports arrive with 6000 troops disembarked. On the 16th Japanese foreign minister Mutsu Munemistu meets with the Qing ambassador to Japan, Wang Fengzao to discuss the future status of Korea. Wang states the Qing government intends to pull out of Korea once the Donghak rebellion is fully suppressed and expects Japan to do the same. But he also acknowledges that China will retain a resident to look after Chinese primacy in Korea, ie: Mr Yuan Shikai. Soon there are 10 IJN warships actively patrolling Korean waters and on the 18th the ministry of the IJN issues new naval fleet regulations. On the other side, Li Hongzhang is trying desperately to avoid war and maintain stable relations with Japan. He has been spending years doing this, trying to get other Western powers to take a more active role in Korea to thwart Japan's ambitions over her. During this period and even in the upcoming war, Li Hongzhang continues to try and involve western powers to end the conflict. When King Gojong pleaded for help, Li Hongzhang made sure the troops would not go directly to Seoul, which he knew would upset Japan. The troops instead went to Nanyang and Asan where they could hit the Donghak before they marched northwards from Cholla upon Seoul. Li Hongzhang had hoped by doing this, the Japanese would choose not to become involved, but he was gravely wrong. Once Japan began sending troops, Li proposed to the Japanese that both nations should agree to withdraw. On the 16th Japan made a counterproposal, stating China and Japan should cooperate in assisting Korea to undertake the major steps to promote modernization. However it was obvious to all, Japan sought to promote economic development in Korea for its own interests, to obtain Korean grain at cheap prices. Thus Japan's proposal was refused. On the 22nd Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi told his fellow politician colleague Matsukata Masayoshi, he believed the Qing empire was making military preparations and that “there is probably no policy but to go to war”. Mutsu Munemitsu likewise sends word to Otori Keisuke to press the Korean government on Japanese demands. On the 26nd Otori presents a set of reform proposal to King Gojong, but instead of accepting them, he insists on troop withdrawals. At about this time, Yuan Shikai see's the paint on the wall and on the 27th requests permission from Li Hongzhang to return to China. However Li Hongzhang only sent a response 20 days later granting it. On July 19th, Yuan Shikai would disguise himself as a Chinese servant of a Russian military attache and flee Seoul for Peking. In the later half of June, Japanese newspapers are ramping things up. The Japan Weekly Mail read this “It is apparent that the restless energies of the people yearn for employment in a foreign war”, a week later “The Tokyo journals unite in urging upon the Government the importance of utilizing the present opportunity for wiping away the stain left on the national honor by th fatal error of 1884”. The bitter lesson learnt from 1884, next time bring more men. Such news articles were working wonders as during the last week of June, Japanese public petitions from multiple prefectures were requesting permission to raise troops. In early July an imperial ordinance established extraordinary powers to regulate the sale of goods with military applications raising public concern. By the third week of july, the “Korean question” was the only thing in the Japanese press and the Japan Weekly Mail predicted “It now looks as though war is inevitable”. Indeed on July 7th the British ambassador to China openly acknowledged the mediation between China and Japan had failed. Now initially China just sent 2-3 thousand forces, while Japan matched them with 8000, these are the numbers they are reporting officially, the real numbers for both are much higher. Regardless, once the fighting begins, both sides toss troops into Korea at such a high rate it was hard for people to keep actual figures. Now Li Hongzhang made no war preparation attempts to match the increasing Japanese numbers coming into Korea. His strategy remained to avoid hostilities. He hoped to secure European intervention to rein in the Japanese, this was his primary strategy. Li Hongzhang was the commander of the Qing's most modern military force and had a considerable amount of knowledge about Japan because of his role as a diplomat. He knew the Qing forces were no match for the IJA, for that there is no doubt. Li worked like a mad dog to push European powers to rescue the Korea situation, but he had overestimated their willingness to intervene and to be honest their disgust with the Qing political situation. Li Hongzhang seems to have misread the political situation in Japan as well. Many Chinese officials in Japan were feeding reports back to China about feuding between the Diet and Cabinet and their conclusions were that the political divisions would most likely prevent Japan from launching an effective military campaign. Its sort of interesting they came to such conclusions, as it may have been more of a understanding of their own Chinese political situation rather than Japan. The Manchu-Han division was indeed hampering Chinese foreign policy for example, but Japan shared a national identity, it was a case of apples and oranges. Li Hongzhang first turned to Russia for help in mid June, but it came to nothing. Britain made an effort, but failed. Italy tried mediation and like Britain failed. King Gojong went to the Americans for help, but they were employing an isolationist policy at the time. Yes good old isolationist America, back in the ol days.  Now when the Japanese made their counter proposal and the Qing declined it on June 21st, Japan responded by stating they did not intend to withdraw from Korea until their reforms were implemented. Li responded “On the approach of the Chinese forces the insurgents [Tonghaks] dispersed. China now desires to withdraw, but Japan refuses to evacuate simultaneously with China, and proposes a joint occupation, the administration of Korean finances, and the introduction of reforms. These are tasks which China cannot accept." The reality of the matte for the Japanese government was that the current Korean situation did not meet her national security interests nor her economic ones. As Japan poured her troops into Korea, her politicians also put relentless pressure on King Gojong to implement their desired reforms. The Korean government unsuccessfully tried to convince Japan that they would adopt the reforms if they withdrew their troops.  On July 22nd, the Japanese received word, Li Hongzhang had overcome domestic opposition with the Qing court and now large reinforcements were going to be sent to Korea. Though Li Hongzhang wanted to avoid hostilities, his hands were tied, if the Qing did retain a presence in Korea it would threaten the legitimacy of their Manchu dynasty. But in a typical Qing fashion, the troops were delayed and would not make it to Korea in time. Well the Japanese were done dancing with the Chinese and Korean, on the 23rd the IJA forces in Seoul suddenly stormed the Joseon royal palace and took King Gojong hostage. The New York Times had this to say "The Japanese have announced that they will hold the King of Corea as a hostage until the internal reforms demanded by Japan shall have been satisfactorily guaranteed." Well the Tonghak rebellion flared right back up and took rapid momentum, going from what was a regional event to a national uprising. The IJA were brutal in their suppression of the Tonghaks and this fueled the Korean public against them. Likewise the Qing were placed with their backs against the wall, if they did nothing about Japans seizure of King Gojong, they were basically giving up suzerainty over Korea. Japan's actions were obvious, they wanted war and they were going to get it. On the afternoon of the 23rd, with King Gojong in hand, the IJA began storming and disarming Korean garrisons in Seoul. By the end of the day the capital of Korea was in Japanese hands. The Japanese then recalled the Daewongun to oversee the Japanese style reform program. Yes the anti-foreign, isolationist icon ironically was chosen. The Daewongun always looking for an opportunity to regain power had little options laid bare to him so he took up the job, on the sole condition Japan refrain from annexing any Korean territory. That day the Daewongun met with King Gojong at the royal palace, they had not seen each other for nearly a decade. The father scolded his son for misrule and Gojong apologized requesting the Daewongun become regent again. I will add these sources are coming from Japan, I am sure it did not at all go down like this. Give the sort of feeling when you read about Hernan Cortez and Moctezuma II, if you know the sources for that one, well you know. The Daewongun went to work, immediately exiling the Min clan to some small islands and the new government renounced multiple treaties with the Qing dynasty, thus severing its tributary ties.  The Japanese backed reform program became known as the Kabo reform movement, which would go on from July 1894 to February 1896. It was not all bad to be honest, a lot of it was to create an efficient and honest government. Posts were given fixed responsibilities and salaries; a national budget was established; better tax structure; the military/judiciary and educational system were given overhauls and the nation's infrastructure was modernized rapidly. The most significant reform was taking away the Yangbang class monopoly on public offices, basically an end to the Chinese examination system. In a single stroke the Japanese had destroyed Korea's aristocracy, the elites were destroyed. As for the Daewongun, ever the plotter, he secretly envisioned a pincer movement on Seoul with the Tonghaks from the south and the Qing from the north. Unfortunately for him, the Japanese found out about this later on when they found documents containing such plans and this would lead later on to him being forced into retirement.  Li Hongzhang knew Qing forces were no match for the Japanese. Zhili, Shandong and the Fengtian provinces had around 40 battalions with 20,000 or so first-line action men and 20 battalions only fit for garrison duty. All of the rest were Green Standards who were pretty useless. And lets be honest, this series has shown the Green Standards to be …well nothing less than so. He faced around 50,000 Japanese to his estimates, and he concluded they would need to recruit 20-30 additional battalions which would set back the dynasty 2-3 million taels. William Ferdinand Tyler who served in the Beiyang northern squadron and witness the battles of Yali and Weihaiwei later on had this to say of Li's position "the Viceroy's game was merely bluff, not genuine defence; his army and navy were the equivalent of the terrifying masks which Eastern medieval soldiers wore to scare their enemy. He knew that if it came to actual blows he would stand but little chance; but he carried on his bluff so far that withdrawal was impossible, and the Empress Dowager urged him on - probably much against his will. And Japan 'saw him,' as they say in poker." Just about everyone believed China would stomp Japan however. British envoy to China, Sir Robert Hart embodied the worldview stating “999 out of every 1000 Chinese are sure big China can thrash little Japan”. But China was fractured realistically. Empress Dowager Cixi's authority over the dynasty was only held because it was fractured, she could not allow the nation to have a real unified government. Such a government would most certainly unify against her and the Manchu. To stay in power Cixi checked every possible rival, even Li Hongzhang. All of the internal turmoil undermined the Qing's ability to modernize its military and this also caused factional rivalries within the military. Cixi controlled the funds for the Qing navy and infamously siphoned naval funds for the renovation of the Summer Palace. Li Hongzhang could not do anything about this specific matter because he would lose favor with her, and her favor was all that kept his authority so he could deal with the conflict. Yet all these internal problems were non existent in the minds of the elites in China nor the western onlookers who simply believed China would give Japan a quick spanking, take this from the North China Herald  "the breaking out of war between China and Japan is only a question of days, perhaps of hours. The real reason for Japan's desire for war was "that the Japanese government prefers a foreign to a civil war. The discontent of the majority of the House of Representatives was getting serious...A foreign war, however, is expected to reunite the people; it is an outlet for the bad blood which has been accumulating of late years in the body politic."  While the Japanese were doing everything possible to stir up a war, Li Hongzhang was extremely careful to minimize the possibility of a clash. He ordered the Qing forces to encamp 80 miles to the south of Seoul around Asan. He was in contact with the Tonghak and indeed a pincer maneuver was agreed upon. The Qing forces took up a stance between Asan and Pyongyang and the Japanese realized it would be much easier to hit their reinforcements at sea rather than commence with a land offensive. On July 16th, when 8000 Qing forces arrived to Pyongyang, the Japanese sent Li Hongzhang an ultimatum, threatening to take action if any additional forces were sent to Korea. At the same time orders were given to General Oshima Yoshimasa leading the 9th brigade of the 5th division at Chemulpo and the commanders of IJN warships there to initiate military operations if any more Chinese troops were sent to Korea. Li Hongzhang suspected Japan was bluffing and therefore sent reinforcements to the commander at Asan, General Ye Zhichao, 2500 troops who left Dagu on 3 transports, the Irene, Fei Ching and Kowshing. The first two transports carrying 1300 of the troops left on the night of July 23rd with cruiser Jiyuan, torpedo boats Kwang-yi and Tsao-kiang as escort, they could also rely on the cruiser Weiyuan at port in Chemulpo for support. The two transports successfully landed their troops on the 24th. The IJN had deployed a component of their combined fleet to Korean waters by this point. The IJN sent 15 major warships and 7 torpedo boats under Vice Admiral Ito Sukeyuki from Sasebo to Gunsan on July 23rd. There was also the flying squadron of Rear Admiral Tsuboi Kozo who was dispatched to Chemulpo to aid the weak forced anchored there. At Chemulpo were the ships Yaeyama, Musashi and Oshima, while Tsuboi was bringing the cruisers Yoshino, Akitsushima and Naniwa. Tsuboi's task was to prevent any Qing landings. The, Captain Fang Boqian of the Jiyuan received word of the Japanese actions in Seoul and Chemulpo from the Weiyuan and on July 25 ordered the Irene and Fei Ching to head back to Dagu, while the Weiyuan would head for Weihaiwei to report to Admiral Ding Ruchang of the situation unfolding in Korea. However the third transport, the Kowshing was late, thus Fang Boqian decided to remain at Asan bay with cruiser Jiyuan and torpedo boat Kawng-yi to protect its landing.  On the morning of the 25th the Jiyuan and Kwang-yi departed Asan to meet up with the Kowshing and Tsao-kiang. Near the small island of Pundo the Qing vessels would run into the Tsuboi's squadron. Tsbuoi's had gone to Pungdo trying to rendezvous with the Yaeyama and Oshima. At around 6:40am, the Japanese spotted two warships heading south-west, these were the Jiyuan and Kawng-yi. Tsuboi guessed they were escorting Qing transports and went in to investigate. Captain Fang Boqian spotted the incoming Japanese warships, greatly alarmed by their appearance. He ordered the Qing ships to increase speed to escape and this prompted the Japanese to do the same. Yoshino headed the formation with Naniwa and Akitsushima behind, trying to outmaneuver the Qing and prevent their escape.  At 7:45am the Yoshino and Jiyuan were closing in around 3km from another, then at 7:52 Naniwa suddenly opened fire on the Jiyuan. After Naniwa, the Yoshina and Akitsushima began firing. Yoshina and Naniwa concentrated on Jiyuan while the Akitsushima fired upon the Kwang-yi which was around a km behind Jiyuan. The Qing ships returned fire, but the Japanese had distinctly taken the advantage by opening up first. The first shells hit Jiyuan's conning tower, demolishing it and severely damaged her steering mechanism. The second volley hit her forward barbette guns taking them out of action and soon shells were hitting her midship causing carnage and panic amongst her crew. Qing commanders had to quell the panic with their revolvers pointed at the gunners until they regained their composure and continued to fire upon the enemy. The Jiyuan made a dash for open sea as her crews tried to repair her steering mechanism. Meanwhile the Kwang-yi was hit at the offset of battle, the Akitsushima had fired a shell penetrating her hull below the waterline and damaging her boiler room. She rapidly took on water, prompting Captain Lin Kuohsiang to ordered her beached. Enveloped by fire, smoke and steam Kwang-yi turned southeast to beach along the shore while Naniwa began firing on her. Kwang-yi's crews quickly abandoned ship as the Naniwa shelled her ferociously causing numerous explosions and turning her into a fiery wreck. 37 of her crew died while 71 including captain Lin Kuohsiang swam to shore.  While the Kwang-yi was destroyed, the Japanese cruisers continued to pursue the Jiyuan which they caught up to at 8:10am. Yoshino and Naniwa were almost abeam of her prompting Captain Fang to prepare to surrender his warship, but then they all saw smoke from the horizon, two more warships were approaching Asan. It was the Kowshing and Tsao-Kiang. The Japanese immediately turned their attention to the new ships bolting towards them as the Jiyuan attempting sneakingaway. Upon spotting the Japanese coming at them, the Tsao-Kiang immediately turned around for Weihaiwei as the poor Kowshing continued slowly towards Asan. Upon seeing what Qing warships were before him, Tsuboi sent Naniwa over to investigate the Kowshing, Yoshino to hunt the Jiyuan and Akitsushima after the Tsao-Kiang. The Tsao-Kiang was caught by 11:37 and surrendered without a fight to the Akitsushima. At 12:05pm the Yoshino ran down the Jiyuan and began firing upon her from 2.5kms away. Captain Fang made daring move and steered his ship among some shoals, managing to escape the Yoshino who would not risk the dangerous waters. Meanwhile the Kowshing, which was a British vessel captained by Thomas Ryder Galsworthy chattered last minute by the Qing had no knowledge of the battle that had occurred. Galsworthy felt safe under the protection of the British civil ensign and just kept sailing. At 9am the Captain of the Naniwa, Captain Togo Heihachiro, yes the future legendary fleet admiral of the IJN combined fleet who would win the legendary battle of Tsushima ordered the Kowshing to follow him as he would escort it to the Japanese squadron. Galsworthy made a protest citing British neutrality, but complied nonetheless. The unfortunate issue, was the Qing soldiers on his ship who did not comply. The Qing soldiers began threatening to kill the crew if they continued to sail over with the Japanese. Galsworthy tried negotiating with the angry Qing soldiers, but when it became obvious they were in real danger he along with the British crew jumped overboard, swimming for the Naniwa. Allegedly, as the sources are Japanese mind you. The Qing soldiers began firing upon the British in the water killing all but Galsworthy and two other sailors who were rescued by the Naniwa. Upon seeing all of this, the Naniwa then opened fire on the Kowshing, completely obliterating her. Very few aboard managed to swim to safety. It was carnage. The Kowshing launched 2 lifeboats full of Qing soldiers which were fired upon by the Naniwa. 1100 Chinese died in what became known as the battle of Pungdo, 800 alone from the Kowshing. As a foreign commentator said of the event "It was truly a pitiable sight that such a number of officers [on the Kowshing], amongst whom were two generals, should not have sufficient military experience to understand the absurdity of attempting resistance in a merchant vessel against a powerful man-of-war.". The Japanese had damaged a cruiser, captured a gunboat and sank another. Something was noted by a reporter of the Japan weekly mail about the battle "the Chinese ships made a miserable fight. There seemed to be a problem with bad ammunition. The Qing had scored a hit, but  the shell had failed to explode and thus did no significant damage. It is suspected to be a result of bad equipment or careless inspection." For those of you who know about the first Sino-Japanese war, or perhaps just know the general history of Empress Dowager Cixi and the corruption of the late Qing dynasty, this is indeed one of the earliest pieces of evidence of what will be a large problem for the Qing Navy. The battle of Pungdo and sinking of the Kowshing would be soon followed by formal declarations of war. On August 1st, Japan declared war on China, stating Korea was an independent state and that China was trying to hold her as a dependency and had rejected Japan's offer to cooperate. Japan had to declare war because China had made “warlike preparations and sent large reinforcements and had opened fire on Japanese ships”. Sounds about right? There was no mention of Japanese much larger warlike preparations, the taking of King Gojong and the first shots being fired from IJN vessels. However the Japanese clearly were writing a declaration not aimed solely at China, but at the world powers, because the thing she coveted most was to join them of course. The declaration made in the name of Emperor Meiji used specific terms like “family of nations, law of nations, international treaties and such”. Japan was being very diplomatically minded. On the other side, Emperor Guangxi on the same day Japan declared ware made the formal declaration of war against Japan and did so by calling the Japanese “Woren” multiple times in the declaration. The declaration showed disdain for the Japanese, and to even make a point the Qing had it translated in English specifically referencing what Woren meant haha. The declaration wreaked of the traditional way the Qing spoke of those they considered inferior and showcased to the world powers, China had not changed much.  The world's press still remained certain, Japan would be crushed by big China. On July 24th, the Times of London predicted China would win because of her size, population and that time was on her side. British advisor to the Qing military, William Lang was interviewed by Reuters and predicted the Japanese would lose. Lang thought that the Chinese navy was well-drilled, the ships were fit, the artillery was at least adequate, and the coastal forts were strong. Weihaiwei “ was impregnable. Although Lang emphasized that everything depended on how China's forces were led, he had faith that 'in the end, there is no doubt that Japan must be utterly crushed'. Only time would tell.

durée : 01:29:59 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - Portrait du cinéaste japonais Nagisa Oshima (1932-2013), figure de proue de La Nouvelle Vague du cinéma japonais, dans un numéro du "Ciné-club" de France Culture de février 1998. C'est avec L'Empire des sens en 1976 que le cinéaste japonais Nagisa Oshima se rendit célèbre auprès du grand public international. Présenté à Cannes, dans "La Quinzaine des Réalisateurs", le film rencontra un grand succès commercial, à la hauteur du scandale qu'il provoqua au Japon. Après lui, L'Empire de la passion, Furyo, avec David Bowie, et Max mon amour ne feront que conforter le statut mondial de Nagisa Oshima comme "réalisateur japonais vedette". "Tout comme Pasolini ou Fassbinder, Nagisa Oshima a été marqué par le passé impérialiste de son pays, et n'a eu de cesse d'interroger ce passé enfoui." Pourtant, l'essentiel de sa production cinématographique, qui commence en 1959, reste encore aujourd'hui largement méconnue du plus grand nombre. En 1998, pour le "Ciné-club" de France Culture, Pascale Lismonde proposait de mieux connaître la personnalité et l'ouvre de ce grand cinéaste, considéré comme l'un des chefs de file de la Nouvelle Vague japonaise. "Ciné-club. Nagisa Oshima". avec Jean Claude Carrière, Christine Buci-Glucksmann, Vincent Ostria, Max Tessier, Yoichi Umemoto et Jean Narboni. Production : Pascale Lismonde Réalisation : Claude Giovannetti Ciné-club - Nagisa Oshima 1ère diffusion : 04/02/1998 Edition web : Documentation de Radio France Retrouvez l'ensemble de la Nuit : Naissance, mort et renaissance du cinéma au Japon

Abstract: Metabolic pathways are plastic and rapidly change in response to stress or perturbation. Current metabolic profiling techniques require lysis of many cells, complicating the tracking of metabolic changes over time after stress in rare cells such as hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here, we aimed to identify the key metabolic enzymes that define metabolic differences between steady-state and stress conditions in HSCs and elucidate their regulatory mechanisms. Through quantitative 13C metabolic flux analysis of glucose metabolism using high-sensitivity glucose tracing and mathematical modeling, we found that HSCs activate the glycolytic rate-limiting enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK) during proliferation and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibition. Real-time measurement of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in single HSCs demonstrated that proliferative stress or OXPHOS inhibition led to accelerated glycolysis via increased activity of PFKFB3, the enzyme regulating an allosteric PFK activator, within seconds to meet ATP requirements. Furthermore, varying stresses differentially activated PFKFB3 via PRMT1-dependent methylation during proliferative stress and via AMPK-dependent phosphorylation during OXPHOS inhibition. Overexpression of Pfkfb3 induced HSC proliferation and promoted differentiated cell production, whereas inhibition or loss of Pfkfb3 suppressed them. This study reveals the flexible and multilayered regulation of HSC metabolism to sustain hematopoiesis under stress and provides techniques to better understand the physiological metabolism of rare hematopoietic cells.

Episode 82 Psychedelic Japan, Part 2 Playlist Wha Ha Ha, “On the Floor” from Wha Ha Ha (1983 Recommended Records). This group released three records in 1981, all in Japan. Recommended Records, the UK-based record maker, released this compilation of tracks taken from all three of those records. The group Wha Ha Ha ended at that point but its four principle members went on to varied musical careers. Akira Sakata is an alto saxophonist, Kiyohiko Semba is a percussionist, Mishio Ogawa is a vocalist, and Shuichi Chino is a keyboardist and electronic musician. 10:08 Merzbow, “Untitled 1” from Material Action for Two Microphone (sp) (2nd version) (1984 artist cassette). Masami Akita is one of my long-time favorite Japanese electronic/noise practitioners. He would send me cassettes back in the 1980s and I've always tried to keep up with him. Not strictly a Japanese psychedelic artist, I include him here primarily because, like some of the other artists in this podcast, he has widespread influence on other genres of Japanese electronic music. This prolific Japanese noise artist has released over 500 recordings since 1979.Recorded at Merzbau. Tape, Recorder, Synth, Effects, Kiyoshi Mizutani; Tape, Violin, Electronics, Effects, Masami Akita. Early cassette by Akita. 22:30 Yoshiaki Kinno, track 4 from unknown cassette, 1984.Japanese guitar and saxophone improviser. In the 1980's he established a cassette label featuring a wide range of improvised music. 3:32 Boredoms, “Boil Out UFO” from Boretronix 88' (1988 Mega Scum Groove Inc.). I think this is their first cassette release, going back to 1988. Boredoms (ボアダムス), alternatively known as V∞redoms, is a Japanese experimental/noise/space rock/tribal drumming band from Osaka, founded in 1986 by Yamatsuka Eye. Known for their extended jams and heavy drumming, it is remarkable that they had some mainstream success in the 1990s.

Another early cassette release from Yamatsuka Eye on his private label. This cassette consists of remixes of unreleased Boredoms material and fully explores the noise and rhythmic aspects of their work. This is an interesting prelude to their latter, more cohesive works. Bass, Hira; Drums, EDA; Drums, Vocals, Yoshimi P-We; Guitar, Yamamotor; Music by, Boredoms; Words By, Vocals, Effects (EQ-phasing), cassette tape manipulation, electronics, Eye. 12:01 Otomo Yoshihide, “We Insist?

Yasunao Tone was one of the founding members of Japan's Fluxus movement and has also been an organizer and participant in many important music and performance groups such as Group Ongaku, Team Random (the first computer art group organized in Japan). He is a pioneer in the use of prepared CDs of which this work is a prime example. All sounds used were from scratched CD's. 14:28 Changing Hands, “Spaced” from Changing Hands (1997 Medium Productions Ltd.). Written, performed, produced by, Nobukazu Takemura, Richard Barbieri, Steve Jansen. Takemura is a Japanese electronic DJ, producer, and artist.

This one's a little special. This is me and my husband having a chat about the fact that we are both cancer survivors. We've never actually spoken together like this and so for both of us, it was a bit of a challenge on many fronts. English is Yasu's second language and Japanese is mine, so we've done the broadcast in English and in Japanese (Episode 3). It was a little scary for us going into this conversation. We're talking about something that happened many years ago for my husband (23 years ago) and something relatively recent for me (five years), but you'll hear us talk through some important things about surviving and supporting each other through cancer with the benefit of hindsight.If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway. Take a screenshot of yourself listening to the episode on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag me @vanessa_outruncancer.In this episode you'll hear:What happened the day Yasu discovered something not quite right when he was just 29 years oldHow we were as a couple and the challenges that cancer brings to body image Some of the process and steps that we went through and how much things have changed from more than 20 years agoHow we as a couple made decisions - together - and sometimes alone, but knowing that we had each other's supportHow we learned to find smiles and laughs through the tough momentsConnect with Vanessa:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessa_outruncancer/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-oshima-she-her-37b51113/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/weoutruncancer

Historia 1852, las fronteras de Japón se abieron a occidente y se tenía un cierto miedo de que pensaran que eran moralmente laxos y dieran mala impresión internacional. Así que empezaron a regular las imagenes relacionadas al sexo. Antes era aceptable los baños mixtos y se empezó a generar verguenza a partes el cuerpo que antes eran vistas como naturales. 1897 Llega el cine a Japon. La primera película del cine japonés es Momijimari, una pieza de teatro kabuki filmada en 1899. En el teatro Kabuki predominan las historias fantasmales, el llamado Kaidan. El teatro Kabuki es una de las formas más tradicionales de teatro japonés. Tenía tres características particulares: la historias basadas en la época feudal, música particularmente con un instrumento de cuerdas y la presencia de un narrador. Las obras teatrales no utilizaban a mujeres actrices - eran represetnados pro hombres llamados Onigama. Las obras estaban basadas en el priodo Edo (1603-1868) y abundaban las obras Kaidan. Éstas obras mostraban vestuarios ostentosos y maquillaje elevado que representaban al personaje interna y externamente - emociones y valores. El rojo significaba juventud y justicia. El azul, negro y café era para monstruos y gente mala. Kaidan: se refiera a cualquier historia de fantasmas. Otro tipo de teatro era el No - similar al Kabuki pero para las clases sociales altas. Combina l amúsica, la poesía y se le conoce en particular por el uso de máscaras. Es central que solo haya un perosnaje que no utiliza máscara, pues es él único humano. Éste se le conoce como Waki. El waki aparece tradicionalmente como aquella persona que advierte a otros sobre la aparición de un fantasma o de una maldición. Generalmente eran dramas donde el fantasma de un guerrero regresaba a la batalla donde había sido asesinado y estaba reviviendo la escena una y otra vez. Aunque eran fantasmas, no eran figuras de horror. Sino, sufrimiento trágico que debe aceptar la derrota o muerte prematura. El cine y el teatro estuvieron fuertemente relacionados porque con la llegada del cine, también se creó el sistema de Estudios (como Hollywood) y los dueños de los teatros, eran también los dueños de los Estudios. La forma en que se presentaban las películas, era similar a la del teatro. Películas que se hacían famosas luego las transformaban en obras y viceversa. Además, la presentación de películas presentaba también esos tres elementos. Las tomas eran de frente al escenario y fijas, simulando el teatro. El sistema de Estudios El sistema de estudios a diferencia de Hollywood que estaba centrado en el productor, estaba centrado en el director. El director era quien elegía a su equipo y no solo eso, este sería su equipo para futuras producciones. Es decir, se mantenía una lealtad que debía respetarse y honrarse. Esto le daba mayor libertad creativa a los directores, pues ellos tenían la última palabra. Los estudios más importantes: Takejiro Otani (Ozu, Akira Kurowawa y Takashi Miike) Shochiku - primero en introducer mujeres actrices Nikkatsu - que se enfocó en dramas sociales en contextos modernos Yurei (Fantasmas) Mitología japonesa, las yurei son fantasmas mujeres que quieren venganza. Vestidas de blanco, de cabello negro y largo No tienen piernas y mueven las muñecas sin sentido Estos fantasmas aparecen por el On - una deuda queno fue pagada o personas que murieron sin poder curbrir sus responsabilidades familiares. Esto crea un desbalance y conecta al mundo de los vivos con el de los muertos. Primeras cintas La primera cinta de horror japonesa es de 1910: Botan Doro. Una historia de fantasmas (Yurei) y es la segunda historia más adaptada al cine, TV y OVA (only video available) después de Yotsuya Kaidan (El Fantasma de Yotsuya) Para 1920, los tres estudios mencionados eran dueños de 3/4 de todos los teatros de Japón. En 1923, muy tarde para la época, introducen el sonido al cine. Ésto porque era demasiado popular el uso de Benshi (narrador). Incluso había narradores estrella que todos querían nescuchar. En 1936, un hombre poderoso y constructor de los trenes en Japón, Ichizo Kobayashi, fundó Toho abandonando el sistema de actores estrella. Antes de la WWII, este estudio era el mayor productor de imagenes de propaganda. Después de la WWII, este estudio es quien daría luz a Godzilla. Toei - fundada en 1956, es unod e los estudios más importantes de Japón, casa de Hayao Miyazaki, director de el viaje de Chihiro y los estudios Ghibli. El sistema de Estudios hoy en día ha decaído, por ejemplo, en 2003, 234 de 287 películas, provenían de estudios independientes. Esta prevalencia se viene dando desde 1960. La razón es que los mismos estudios, promovían a directores independeintes. Epoca de OroCon el triunfo de Rashomon de Akira Kurosawa en el festival de Venecia en 1950, y logra el Oscar a mejor película extranjera; es cuando el mundo voltea a Japón.curiosamente toca la sexualidad desde un ángulo criticado en Japón: l ahistoria de una violación que pasa a segundo plano (e invalidada) en un juicio de muerte a un samurai, donde la palabra del bandido (violador) carita tiene más peso y empatía de la audiencia que el de los demás.Se da la apertura, y comienza a participar en festivales.Sin embargo, existía una gran censura al arte japonés por la ocupación estadounidense al termino de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los aliados pidieron una redición incondicional por parte de los japoneses. Lo peor que pudo sucederles como nación, donde su sistema de valores por centenas de años favorecía la muerte honorable sobre la derrota. De 1945 a 1952 - el colonizador se volvió colonia, ocupado por los aliados. Esto dejó un trauma en la sociedad que nunca se ha borrado y se puede ver en el cine a partir de los años 1950 los arquetipos como "the wronged woman" o "a la mujer a quien le hicieron mal" Para asegurar que "Japón nunca volviera a realizar disturbios mundiales" la división Civil de Censura restringió todas las narativas KAbukis, todo lo que involucrara la lealtad feudal, sacrificio. Buscaron otras formas de darle la vuelta a las regulacione spor medio de poner la acción en otro periodo, como el Meiji. Esto era porque las cintas retrataban historias donde los espadachines justicieros japoneses incitaban a la rebelión (genero llamado Jidaigeki). El enemigo a vencer era el invasor.Se incitaba a los valores del sistema "ie" que promovían el honor, la lealtad y alta valoración a la comunidad. Los americanos traían consigo sus propios valores, con modelos más democráticos que perseguían deseos individuales y capitalistas. El sistema ie consistía en 5 clases: el samurai en la cina, seguido por aldeanos, artesanos, mercantes. La quitan clase, y la más baja, era de los exiliados, aquellos que trabajaban en profesiones impirtas. Responsabilidad de la casa recaía en el jefe de la familia que a su vez, tenía responsabilidad de la comunidad en general y al emperador. El hijo mayor es el sucesor, los demás hijos hacen sus vidas. Si no hay heredero, adoptan a uno para que siga el nombre de la familia. El sistema oprimía a la mujer, ya que las reglas de comportamiento eran dictadas por su obediencia a sus padres, esposo e hijos en ese orden. Están los conceptos GIRI y NINJO. Giri es el sentido de obligación y responsabilidades a los superiores, la familia y a los ancetros. Es el tejido social que une a Japón. Ninjo es la compasión a los desprivilegiados y simpatía por otros. ON es el sistema de obligaciones que une a los vivos con los miertos (en terminos de deuda) como Giri. Era natural el sacrificio propio para reponer la reputación de la familia, si era deshonorada. Claro, que mejor forma de promoer tus valores que con la regulación de lo que se puede producir. Agregaron regulaciones de censura en Japón. Declararon obsceno el mostrar los genitales femeninos y escenas sexuales explicitas. Pero esta misma censura, impulso el cine de horror, se ve beneficiado ya que los estadounidenses lo consideraban historias del folklore japonés y no revolucionarias. En el año 1960 es donde se viene lo que se conoce como "La Nueva Ola" que es la que reta los valores tradicionales japoneses, el discurso romántico que se reemplaza por la sexualidad objetivizada y el cuerpo violado. En 1976, resalta una película que se llama Imperio de los sentidos, que está basada en la historia real de Sada Abe, quien tiene una relación sadomasoquista con su esposa, Kichizo Ishida. Esta relación, llega a tal intensidad, con incremento que hacia el final de la película, termina matando y castrando surante el acto sexual a Sada. Luego es arrestada por cargar en su bolsa del Kimono el miembro de Sada. Por esta película, el director Oshima fue acusado por obscenidad, pues mostraba la genitalia. En 1982, le quitaron los cargos y se permitió representar el sexo de manera más explícita en el cine japonés. Después de la WWII se viene un fuerte conflicto de identidad que proviene de la comparasión de uno contra el otro. En este caso, japón como su lenguaje, cultura y gente se sientes únicos pero al estar ocupados por los aliados y traer estos nuevos valores, se vuelve confuso quienes son realmente y nace este deseo de reencontrar su identidad. Especilamente, después de la gran derrota sufrida y el aftermath de la guerra: dos ciudades en ruinas y radioactivas, la modernización de japón con todo el desecho industrial que perjudica al medio ambiente. Las víctimas sobrevivientes que por años sus generaciones tenían deformaciones. La idea de que ya no le deben a sus antepasados, sino esta idea actual del consumismo y materialismo. Reconstruir al país implicaba el estar trabajando largas horas diariamente, absentismo del padre en la familia.todo este escenario con tanta ansiedad social es una receta para crear historias de horror: depresión, recesión, post guerra, inflación, confusión de identidad nacional y personalMundo de vivos y muertosLos japoneses creen que los espíritus habitan en el mismo mundo pero en un plano diferente. Por eso, deben de honrarse las deudas o responsabilidades pasadas de generación en generación. De otra forma, regresan a como espíritus vengativos. Si cumplen con sus obligaciones, se vuelven espíritus positivos y hasta deidades.Taro HiraiSurge el considerado el Edgar Allan Poe japonés, el novelista Taro Hirai quien redefinio con sus escritos el terror japonés respetando sus códigos tradicionales, pero mezclándolos con ciertos esquemas de la literatura anglosajona, la cual conocía a la perfección.20 min - Introducción al cine de horrorNobuo NakagawaEs uno de los principales realizadores de la época de oro del terror japonés. Onna Kyuketsuki (la mujer vampiro, 1959). Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan (1959). Historia donde al violarse los valores tradicionales termina en tragedia. primero in samurai exiliado Iemon (no siguió el código de honor Bushido) quiere casarse con Oiwa. Como no lo dejan (clases) su padre, termina matando al padre y su acompañante. La hermana de Oiwa, Sode quiere casarse con otro. Matan a su prometido. Cansado de su estado de pobre, corteja Iemon a una noble adinerada. Termina en todos muertos básicamente - tanto Iemon, su cuñado, la hermanas - dando como ejemplo que este camino de deslealtad y "sucio" no llega a nada. Todo porque los fantasmas de los muertos, aparecen y los tormentan. Concepto de MONO-NO-AWARE: la impresión de la nada. Esto es recurrente en el cine de horror japonés, donde la consecuencia es un destino solo, sin nada. Como el dicho, más vale pájaro en mano que ciento volado. El que se va por los del cielo, termina sin nada. Años 60'sAparece lo que se denomina cintas de terror para turistas.Son cintas que se alejan de lo tradicional, abordando lo intelectual, contando con gran producción y que se considera excesivamente artificial.Estas cintas sufren del Efecto Kurosawa, donde en el interior de Japón son rechazadas, pero fuera del país son aceptadas y galardonadas.Trilogía de autor para consumo internacional o terror para turistas: Kaidan (1964). Onibaba (1964) cuenta con una mascara icónica en el cine japonés y porque no del cine de horror en general. Hace referencia al las obras estilo No La máscara es una expresión externa de lo que la mujer tiene de dentro. Kuroneko (1968).Basada en el folkor japonés de el fantasma/vampiro que se transforma en gato. si no les cortan la cola cuando son jóvenes (a los gatos) se pueden convertir en nekomata - gato goblin - que posee el poder de la muerte. Así nace el género bakeneko mono (monster cat tales). Una mujer y su hija son violedas y asesinadas en su casa por soldados. Un gato lame la sangre de los cuerpos lo cual preserva sus espíritus (mitología japonesa). Regresan con look muy elegante, muy hermosas y atraen a los samurai su casa, para después matarlos. Un soldado lo mandan a resolver el conflicto, pues están asesinado soldados y cuando llega, se d acuenta que es su madre y esposa, los fantasmas. Aquí el código dice: lo que dija el jefe militar es lo que debe hacerse y él debe sacrificarse por la comunidad apaciguando la maldad. Por otro lado, la esposa había hecho un pacto con el inframundo para regresar y matar Samurai. Su esposo, era un reconocido samurai y tení que matarlo. Ambos están negando sus responsabilidades... por 7 días de pasión. Se revela contr ala madre, le corta un brazo (pata de gato) y la lleva al jefe como prueba. Se vuelve un héroe y lo mandan purificar. En el proceso, regresa a la casa donde estuvo con la esposa y encuentra la antigua casa donde fueron asesinadas y se ve un gato merodeando. La consecuencia a sus actos fue el mono-no-aware, se quedó sin nada. Aquí inova la película porque comunmente, en las obras obras Kabuki, las mujeres fantasma se vengan de quienes las dañaron. En Kuroneko no, la maldición es un pacto de matar a cualquier Samurai y van y los seducen para matarlos. Pinku eigaEran las cintas roman porno que se les conoce como las que salvaron a la industria del cine japonés.La primera era pink eiga empieza en 1964 y termina en 1972.Se utilizaba el sexo como herramienta política.Años 70'sSe ve muy influenciado por la estetica británica de la compañía Hammer Films.Vampiros y licantropia se incorporan a las cintas japonesas.Ejemplo: Trilogia de mujer vampiroMujer vampiro (1970).Los ojos del vampiro (1971).La rosa vampiro (1974). La segunda ola pink eiga de 1972 al 82 comienzan los estudios Nikkatsu y Toei a realizar películas sexualmente violentas conocidas como pinky violence. Aquí aparecía el subgénero del fantasma erótico. Aquí ya empiezan otras variantes donde se ve el fantasma que se suicidó. Angel Guts: 4 filmes que superficialmente pueden verse como de explotación, pero marcan como va cambiando la sexualidad entorno al abuso y violación: Proviende un un manga y la adaptaron alc ine, con 4 adaptaciones por 4 directores diferentes. Se ve el arco de Nami: primero sobrevive un gang rape, luego la tratan de "ayudar" proponiéndole que le tomen fotos, tiempo después Nami se vuelve prostituta y la degran al máximo (orinan y violan por dinero del mejor postor) y finalmente se vuelve enfermera y no permite que la violen un paciente en diferentes ocasiones. Años 80'sTraería una renovación al cine fantástico de Japón con la presencia del realizador Shinya Tsukamoto. Su trabajo muestra una combinación de terror, cyberpunk.La Aventura del Chico del Poste Eléctrico (1987) donde el protagonista debe de combatir a un grupo de vampiros motorizados.Akira (1988)Pero no es hasta su opera prima con la que revoluciona el horror japonés, la famosa Tetsuo (1989) con su mezcla de gore, sexo y body horror, pero aquí la transformación es hacia una maquina.Gore JaponesEl horror japonés será mundialmente conocido por ser la creadora de una de las etapas mas sangrientas de la historia del cine: el cine gore japonés. Se llevo a niveles demenciales.Guts of a Beauty (1986).Tetsuo (1989)Organ (1996).Naked Blood (1995).El falso mito del snuff japonesSe llevo tanto al limite del gore, que se creyo que eran cintas snuff reales.Surgió a finales de los años 80 cuando de forma clandestina empezó a circular un video donde una chica era brutalmente torturada hasta asesinarla.Se trataba de Akuma no Jikken (1988), primer episodio de la serie Ginea Pig.Pero la mas famosa es Chiniku no hana o Flowers Of Flesh & Blood (1989), que es la que sitúa a Ginea Pig como un mito en el horror japonés y el snuff.Los creadores tuvieron que presentarse a declarar a las autoridades que todo era una película, ficción.El pobre actor que interpreto al asesino, era hasta buscado por las autoridades.El resultado, tuvieron que editar y distribuir las peliculas de forma comercial, incluir créditos y hasta el grado de incluir documentales de como se realizaron estos cortes.90'sRingu, la renovación que sacudió al mundo.El cine japonés se convirtió en la base de las películas por venir, todos empezaron a realizar "cine a la japonesa" gracias a Ringu (1998).Fue un regreso a lo básico, la historia de un fantasma (yurei). utiliza mitos y folklore clásicos, pero de una manera occidental, mezcla perfecta y el secreto del éxito de Ringu.Se convirtió en la película mas importante del cine de horror japonés.Inicia una oleada de cine de horror japonés, algunas muy buenas, otras viles copias de Ringu.Destaca la saga de Ju-On, como segundo pilar del cine de horror japonés.Un dato curioso, es lo que significa el fantasma femenino que data de más de 400 años.Japón es un país donde la mujer esta sometida por el hombre, símbolos de esto son los grandes peinados, la vestimenta, con grandes capas de tela y el maquillaje.Los fantasmas japoneses femeninos le provocan un terror a los hombres, con Sadako, les recordó que la mujer muerta es poderosa, estando muerta es capaz de hacer justicia por propia mano, recuerden que en la religion japonesa, los fantasmas existen y conviven en este plano dimensional, si es posible.Los fantasmas femeninos tienen esta larga cabellera suelta, ya no usan los ropajes, solo el camisón, son libres y ya no están sometidas a las leyes del hombre.2000'sNeo-gore Japones, cintas donde la sangre a borbotones y la ciencia ficción desbordada son poco terroríficas, es 100% visual, ya que carecen de una historia creíble.Battle Royale (2000)Suicide Club (2001)Ichi the Killer (2001)Noroi (2005)Tokyo Gore Police (2008).Vampire Girl VS. Frankenstein Girl (2009).Meatball Machine (2005).Créditos:Radio Horror es producido por Caro Arriaga y Rael Aguilar.Edición por Matías Beltrando desde Destek Soporte.Música Closing Theme Hounds of Love por Dan Luscombe (Intro)Nightlong por FSM Team (Outro)★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

1 Estoy parada en medio de la playa llorando: ¿Quién soy? Si llegaras a tiempo acá a besarme podríamos ponernos la malla & nadar & nadar. 2 Te amo te amo te amo digo, pero me doy vuelta & la ventana que es por donde entrás vos se está cerrando. Las palabras la cierran. Los poemas, incluso. Como persianas que se enrollan, como las persianas de hierro que hay en los negocios. 3 Qué raro, dije. Tengo sangre en los labios donde nos besamos. 4 Si el amor es sexo estábamos enamorados. & si el amor dura más que el cuerpo, entonces yo soy vos, se podría decir. 5 Me quedo acá clavada todo el día. El cielo: un moretón. La playa: cicatriz. Día de los Caídos & y estoy acá sentada, medio enterrada en la arena.

Alan Oshima, "Navigator" for Hawaii's economic recovery

ThinkTech is a Hawaii 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Please support us by making a donation. http://www.thinktechhawaii.com We need to find a way to rebuild our economy. Gov. David Ige announced Wednesday that he has appointed Hawaiian Electric Co.’s senior executive advisor Alan Oshima to lead a statewide COVID-19 recovery initiative. Ige signed a proclamation to give Oshima a role in his office to lead the Hawaii Economic and Community Recovery and Resiliency Plan “to lead a collaborative effort with government, business, nonprofits and the community to develop and carry out” a plan for Hawaii to recover from the COVID-19 crisis. the plan was broken down into three parts: stabilization, recovery and resiliency. For “stabilization,” the goal is “to identify and address critical economic and community impacts, including the allocation of the federal CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) Act funds and state and local funding to mitigate the collapse of key economic sectors.” In “recovery,” the goal is to “identify and support economic and community development activities which provide recovery, job growth and capital investment in the economy. For “resiliency,” there would be a re-evaluation and restructuring of Hawaii’s economy “to meet the new normal and desired future for Hawaii.” The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Alan Oshima.

Tune in to hear about my visit to Ōshima Airport. This small airport was built in June 1964, with a 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) runway. Since ANA ended service to Oshima in October 2015, the airport is home for plane aviation enthusiasts all over Japan. But what is life of an aviation enthusiast?
