Med över 100 anställda har Jakob Edbergs företag GR Japan på kort tid vuxit fram till att bli den rådgivare som många utländska företag och organisationer vänder sig till när de vill etablera sig i Japan. På senare år har man också etablerat sig i Seoul, Taipei, Singapore, Washington DC och London. I Japanpodden berättar Jakob hur allt en gång började. (SPOILER: det handlade varken om karate eller manga). NYHETERStigande rispriser utmaning för PM Ishiba inför sommarens valI Japan har rispriserna nära nog fördubblats sedan förra våren - främst beroende på dåliga skördar och problem med leveranskedjorna.Regeringen har släppt 300 000 ton ris från landets reserver för att bromsa prisökningen, och ytterligare 300 000 ton kommer att släppas under de kommande veckorna. Situationen har lett till ett växande folkligt missnöje, särskilt bland låg- och medelinkomsttagare och premiärminister Shigeru Ishibas förtroendesiffror har rasat till 27 % - en ny bottennivå som innebär att bara en dryg fjärdedel av väljarna har förtroende för den sittande regeringen. Oppositionen å sin sida kräver en sänkning av momsen som för närvarande ligger på 10 % och det stundande valet till överhuset i juli ses som en avgörande kraftmätning för Ishibas ledarskap.Japan kräver att USA slopar tullarna på japanska bilarJapan står fast vid sitt krav på att USA ska dra tillbaka tullarna på japanska bilar, stål och aluminium. Förhandlaren Ryosei Akazawa betonade att detta är ett "icke-förhandlingsbart" krav för Tokyo.Vid förhandlingar i Washington nyligen betonade den japanske chefsförhandlaren Ryosei Akazawa att kravet inte är “förhandlingsbart".USA har ställt som motkrav att Japan ökar importen av amerikanska jordbruksprodukter och just nu tycks positionerna låsta i väntan på att länderna ska enas om att hålla ett möte på ministernivå. För den japanska fordonsindustrin är tullarna ett dråpslag som höjt priserna på japanska bilar i USA med 25 procent.Skyfall och jordskred orsakar dödsfall på NotohalvönNoto-regionen i Ishikawa län har en person bekräftats död och ytterligare sex rapporteras som saknade efter de senaste dagarnas extremväder med över 120 millimeter regn i timme, något som ledde till översvämningar och jordskred på flera platser. Området har ännu inte återhämtat sig från den förödande jordbävningen tidigare för mer än ett år sedan då vägar spolades bort och flera byar har isolerades från omvärlden.Myndigheterna har varnat för risk för nya jordskred och ras då man befarar att extremvädret kan fortsätta. Premiärminister Ishiba har utlovat statligt stöd och extra resurser till räddningsarbetet, samtidigt som frivilligorganisationer från hela Japan har anlänt för att bistå i uppröjningsarbetet.Kvarlevor efter amerikansk vandrare hittade efter två årKvarlevorna efter en amerikansk ensamvandrare som försvann för mer än två år sedan har påträffats i närheten av en vandringsled i Shiga län.Kvinna som är i 60-årsåldern anmäldes saknad efter att inte ha återvänt från en planerad vandring och hennes familj bekostade flera privata sökexpeditioner efter att de upplevt bristande stöd från de japanska myndigheterna.Myndigheterna säger sig inte ha kunnat fastställa någon dödsorsak och man har därför inte uteslutit att hon utsatts för brott.Fallet har lett till krav på förbättrade säkerhetsåtgärder för vandrare i Japan och händelsen har fått stor internationell uppmärksamhet.Profetia om katastrof får turister att avbokaDen japanska mangatecknaren Ryo Takatsuki, även kallad ”Nya Baba Vanga”, har blivit viral de senaste veckorna och hennes dystra framtidsvisioner har gjort att flera japanresenärer bokat om sina resor i sista stund. I sin senaste profetia varnar Takatsuki för att en stor katastrof kommer att drabba Japan i juli månad.Trots att det alltså saknas vetenskaplig grund har hennes varning skapat stor oro i diverse samtalsforum på Internet och hotell och resebyråer rapporterar ett ovanligt högt antal avbokningar.Vem är då denna mangatecknare och varför skapar hennes profetior sådan uppståndelse? Ja, i ett album som kom ut 1999 varnade hon för att en stor jordbävning skulle inträffa i mars 2011, alltså samma månad som den stora Tohoku-jordbävningen ödelade stora områden längs kusten i nordöstra Japan. Att det kommer att komma en stor jordbävning är de flesta experter eniga och det talas om en 80-procentig risk för att den kommer att inträffa inom de närmaste 30 åren. Men att den skulle inträffa just i juli i år är det hittills bara Ryo Takatsuki eller “Nya Baba Vanga” som hon också kallas, som förutspått.Baba Vanga var en bulgarisk sierska som sägs ha förutspått Tjernobylkatatsrofen, Sovjetunionens kollaps, Lady Dianas död, Barack Obamas valseger bland mycket annat. Hon avled 1996.Grand Ring vid Expo 2025 utsedd till världens största träbyggnadDen stora ringen som omger världsutställningen i Osaka har nu officiellt utsetts, av Guiness Book of Records till världens största träkonstruktion.Designad av arkitekten Sou Fujimoto, omsluter ringen en yta på mer än 61 000 kvadratmeter, eller lite drygt elva fotbollsplaner. Den fungerar också som som en gångbro och utsiktsplattform.Träet som använts är japansk ceder och cypress, lokalt producerat för hållbarhetens skull.Experter har beskrivit den som en blandning av modern design och traditionell japansk snickarkonst.Hela projektet avslutades tidigare än planerat och blev dessutom billigare än budgeterat.Efter Världsutställningen är tanken att bevara ringen som ett kulturellt landmärke i Osaka, medan själva den konstgjorda ön Yumeshima - Drömmarnas Ö - så småningom kommer att hysa Japans första Casino Resort - ett japanskt Las Vegas som ska stå färdigt hösten 2030.

Contributor: Alec Coston MD Educational Pearls: Causes of seizures in a fairly well-appearing child with diarrhea: Electrolyte abnormalities: hypocalcemia, hyponatremia Also hyperkalemia which causes arrhythmias and syncope - can appear like seizures Hypoglycemia If the child has diarrhea and appears very sick, differential diagnosis may include: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS): simultaneous occurrence of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury Typically caused by Shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli (also known as EHEC, or enterohemorragic E. coli) One of the main causes of acute kidney injury in children Toxic ingestions such as salicylates, lead, or iron In this case, the child had a seizure but appeared well and was afebrile: Consult with neurology led to a diagnosis of benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) First identified in 1982 in Japan Viral gastroenteritis with diarrhea and convulsions but does not include fever, severe dehydration, or electrolyte abnormalities Uncommon illness caused by rotavirus and norovirus pathogens Criteria for discharge is similar to a febrile seizure - the patient had one seizure that lasted less than 15 minutes and he quickly returned to his baseline, so he was able to be safely discharged home This diagnosis does not predispose him to epilepsy later in life References Lee YS, Lee GH, Kwon YS.

The podcast is currently on a break between Season 3 and Season 4. As promised, during this period I'll be uploading previous episode or two, beginning with this edit of what was the Episode 13 of the podcast, and the first of Season 2 – Shiga Kogen Ski Resort: Japan's Largest Ski Resort. In this episode I spoke with two-time Olympian Robel Zemichael about Shiga Kogen Mountain Resort, which lays claim to being both Japan's largest and highest ski resort. Robel is the manager of Shiga International Ski School and based in Shiga Kogen all year round, so there's no better person to speak with and he advocates for Shiga wonderfully.Important to note that this is an edited version of the longer original episode, in which Robel and I went into more detailed discussion about all aspects of the resort, services provide by Shiga International Ski School, accommodation and more. If you haven't already, make sure to listen to the full episode. This edit provides a taste of the longer conversation I had with my guest Robel, but I think it interesting in its own right while it might also prompt you to go back and listen to the longer, original version. I hope you enjoy!Snow Country Stories Japan is a bi-weekly podcast about life and travel in Japan's legendary 'yukiguni'.

The journey of an artist is a winding one. You make the decision to start, not knowing where it will take you. Over time, if you're fortunate, you build a career from your work while gaining the freedom to explore new forms of expression, with each project becoming an important and affirming part of that journey.   In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Mariko Jesse, a professional illustrator who has integrated mokuhanga into her artistic practice. Mariko draws inspiration from her life experiences, sharing insights on her family and travels. We discuss how living in San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Japan has shaped her outlook and creative process. Mariko also reflects on her involvement with MI Lab, now based in Echizen, Japan, as well travelling to the International Mokuhanga Conference in April 2024.  Finally, we explore Mariko's collaborations with The Mokuhanga Sisters and wood+paper+box, and how these partnerships shape her own artistic practice.

Episode 35 of the podcast takes us to Shiga Kogen Highlands in Nagano Prefecture. Declared a UNESCO Biopshere Reserve in 1980, Shiga Kogen is an alpine landscape which includes major peaks such as Mount Shiga and Mount Kusatsu-Shirane – one of Japan's most active volcanoes – renowned for its biodiversity, wetlands and distinct seasonal beauty. In this episode I speak with Yokota Shinji – a talented landscape and nature photographer who regularly accompanies guests into the alpine landscape of Shiga Kogen. He provides nature tours, photography tours and workshops for both Japanese and English-speaking guests and as such is an ideal person to accompany us to Shiga in this episode. Shiga Kogen Highlands sit within Joshinetsu Kogen National Park and will of course be familiar to many listeners as the ski resort of that name – Shiga Kogen Mountain Resort – is the largest ski resort in Japan – something we covered in Episode 13 of the pod while nearby Shiga Kogen Brewery – something we covered in Episode 6 of the pod - takes its name for this area of the mountains. Today's chat is however all about the Biosphere Reserve. Shiga Kogen Highlands is one of ten UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in Japan, a global system of reserves awarded that status in recognition of their biological diversity and as models of mutual beneficial relationships between people and nature.  For more information and to view Shinji's beautiful photography, please visit his website and follow him on Instagram and his YouTube channel. You can also find more information, including how to get there, at the official Shiga Kogen Highlands website along with Shinji's images on the episode page of the Snow Country Stories Japan website. Snow Country Stories Japan is a bi-weekly podcast about life and travel in Japan's legendary 'yukiguni'.

Hi, I'm James, founder of Pluck.At Pluck, we're all about organ meats, yet not just any organ meats. Quality is everything when eating any part of an animal. We define quality as grass-fed, grass-finished, humanely treated, pasture-raised animals raised with no GMOs or hormones. “As close to nature as possible” is what I say.There's a lot of what is wrong in our current agricultural systems, but more and more farms are pivoting to what is right: Regenerative Agriculture. With diverse crop coverage and no tilling we can change not only the food produced on these farms but our health as well. We are what we eat AND what we eat eats.Ancestral principles of “like supports like” and nose-to-tail eating drive our mission at Pluck. We are missing out on the whole animal benefits when we only eat muscle meat. Pluck is the perfect gateway into eating organs because it doesn't taste like organ meat. What you taste is the savory, deliciousness of Umami (the fifth taste). Eating organs support the health of your organs. Even better, organs contain bioavailable nutrients which means you get more “bang-for-your-buck” because your body can recognize and absorb these essential vitamins and nutrients.Look, I'll be the first to admit I didn't eat organ meats as a kid.I was the pickiest of picky eaters.I didn't eat my first taco until college. When I say that I had a PB&J sandwich for lunch daily between the ages of 5 and 15…I'm not joking. Growing up, we basically ate the same 4 or 5 home-cooked meals every week. Fridays were pizza night out and Sundays were Chinese food ordered in.As a child of the 70s, I grew up eating fast food, frozen vegetables, and when microwaves started becoming vogue, microwave meals, particularly popcorn. My father owned a grocery store so we had access to lots of common foods and snacks, most of all, candy!I understand picky eating and more importantly, I understand the human need for comfort food.In fact, I've spent the last 20+ years as a professional chef focused on making comfort foods healthy without sacrificing taste. I've cooked for celebrities, musicians, and billionaires, but it was becoming a father that forced me to go deeper in my exploration of functional food.At the age of two, my youngest daughter was afflicted with the life-threatening Shiga toxin. I had left town for work thinking she was on the road to recovering only to return to her looking like skin and bones. It was a truly frightening time where my wife and I struggled to get nutrients into her.Fortunately, she survived and is a vibrant, healthy child but the experience left me wanting to create a functional food product that anyone could eat and benefit from without requiring them to adopt new habits or step outside of their comfort zone.That's what Pluck is all about. Nutrition in a pinch. No need to adopt new habits, simply use Pluck instead of salt and pepper and turn everything into a nutrient-rich, bio-available superfood.
