As a collector of mokuhanga, I am constantly exploring the reasons behind my love of collecting mokuhanga and why I make it and educate myself about it; it seems to be layered, even for my modest collection. So it is always fascinating to speak to someone who has been collecting for many years, with a deep understanding of why they collect and how they do.    I speak with mokuhanga collector Darrel C. Karl about his collection of prints, paintings and scrolls. It's one to admire. Collecting for years now, Darrel was kind enough to speak to me about his collection, how he began it, his love of preparatory drawings, collecting ukiyo-e, shin hanga, and we discussed in length his blogs, Eastern Impressions and Modern Japanese Theatre Art Prints.  Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Notes: may contain a hyperlink.

When making mokuhanga and producing The Unfinished Print, I have looked towards various online tools for research and inspiration. One of these tools is ukiyo-e.org. A Japanese woodblock print database which collects and archives woodblock print collections from around the world.  John Resig is the chief software architect at the Khan Academy who, in 2013, for his love of mokuhanga and the Japanese woodblock print, and through his own  collection, developed ukiyo-e.org.  Those researching, collecting, and making mokuhanga can explore some of the best Japanese print collections at the click of a button. In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with ukiyo-e.org developer John Resig about why he decided to create the website and how his collecting of mokuhanga and making mokuhanga affected that decision. We also discuss the evolution of the humanities in mokuhanga, archiving prints, tradition, and the copywriting of images, as well as John's work with the Japanese Art Society of America.  Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Notes: may contain a hyperlink.

This was a period of immense modernization and industrialization in Japan, where the Japanese economy was booming. New ideas within mokuhanga was occurring as well. Perspective, colour, through new pigments (gamboge, certain yellows), the advancement of photography, and new topics and themes (war, industry, architecture), the Meiji era print designer and publisher had a lot of choice when producing their prints.  Shigeru Kuriyama (1912-2010) - was a sōsaku hanga  printmaker who worked with Onchi Kōshirō (1891-1956), and U'nichi Hiratsuka (1895-1997). He founded the print magazine Yukari and Kasuri. His prints were focused on folk arts.   Fragrance of Lavender (1996) sōsaku-hanga - or creative prints, is a style of printmaking which is predominantly, although not exclusively, prints made by one person. It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints.  Your First Print: David Bull - this was the first DVD I ever purchased on how to make mokuhanga. This was in and around 2007. While I look back at that time thinking about why I didn't take it up as seriously as I do now, I sometime wonder, "Where would I be now in my Mokuhanga journey?" I realize that that is a redundant way of thinking. I am where I am now today, and to be happy with just that. You can still find this product on Dave's website.  Takuji Hamanaka - printmaker based in Brookly, NY. Uses bokashi,  a printmaking technique, predominately in his works. Unique and powerful. website Instagram Collapse (2016) April Vollmer - is an established artist who works predominantly in mokuhanga. Her book Japanese Woodblock Print Workshop is one of the most authoritative books on the subject and has influenced many mokuhanga artists. April's interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here. Wood Like Matsumura - is an online and brick and mortar store, for woodblock printmaking, located in Nerima City, Tōkyō. Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950) - a watercolorist, oil painter, and woodblock printmaker. Is associated with the resurgence of the woodblock print in Japan, and in the West. It was his early relationship with Watanabe Shōzaburō, having his first seven prints printed by the Shōzaburō atelier. This experience made Hiroshi believe that he could hire his own carvers and printers and produce woodblock prints, which he did in 1925.  Kiso River (1927) kabuki - is a traditional form of Japanese theatre which started in Kyoto on the banks of the Kamo River in the 17th Century. Today it is a multi million dollar business and is almost exclusively run, professionally, by The Shochiku Company. Kabuki, the word, is separated into three different sounds; ka - meaning to sing, bu - meaning to dance, and ki- meaning skill. There are various families in kabuki which generate actors, passing down tradition throughout the lineage. For more information please read this fine article from Nippon.com. There are many books written on the subject of kabuki, but in my opinion, to begin, one needs to read Leonard Pronko's work Theatre East & West, Kawatake Toshio's Kabuki, and Earl Ernst's The Kabuki Theatre. Online, please visit Kabuki21.com, who's site is unparalleled. On YouTube there is the new(ish) Kabuki In-Depth which is updated regularly on kabuki information and history, and is very well done.  Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) was a renowned American artist, known for her pioneering contributions to modern American art, particularly in the realm of abstract and contemporary art. Lake George Reflection (1921) bokashi - is a mokuhanga technique, where the pigment fades from a heavy colour to a softer, broad colour. Made famous by prints designed by Hokusai and Hiroshige, this technique is, for me, the most popular technique utilized by  mokuhanga printmakers. There are various types: Ichimoji-bokashi or straight line graduation, used in the above mentioned Hiroshige and Hokusai prints. Ichimoji-mura-bokashi or straight line gradation with uneven edge. Ō-bokashi or wide gradation, Ate-nashi-bokashi or gradation without definition. Futa-iro-bokashi or two tone gradation, and ita-bokashi or softer-edge gradation, where the block is cut in a specific way to achieve this style of gradation. All of these styles of bokashi technique take practice and skill but are very much doable.  Bertha Lum (1869-1954) - was born in Iowa. Having begun travelling to Japan in 1903, Bertha Lum noticed the decline of the Japanese woodblock print in Japan in the early 20th Century, deciding to take up the medium. Lum began making woodblock prints after learning in Japan from an unknown teacher during her first trip to Japan. Japan, Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), and China influenced Bertha Lum's prints. Lum's work focused on these themes through an American lens.  Winter (1909) Frances Gearhart (1869-1958) - Born in Illinois, Gearhart was a self-taught artist who spent most of her life in California. Originally a watercolorist, Frances Gearhart began experimenting with Japanese woodblock and linoleum in and around 1913. The themes of her work are predominately landscapes of the Pacific Coast and other areas of California. Her work is associated with the Arts and Crafts movement in California. A fine article on Frances Gearhart's life can be found, here.  In The Sun (1930) Fujio Yoshida (1887-1997) - the wife of Hiroshi Yoshida and the mother of Tōshi Yoshida (1911-1995) and Hodaka Yoshida (1926-1995). Fujio was so much more than a mother and wife. She had a long and storied career as a painter and printmaker. Fujio's work used her travels and personal experiences to make her work. Subjects such as Japan during The Pacific War, abstraction, portraits, landscapes, still life, and nature were some of her themes. Her painting mediums were watercolour and oil. Her print work was designed by her and carved by Fujio.  Roses (1925) TinEye - is an image search and recognition company.

En este episodio hablamos acerca de "El Cantar de los Heike" o el "Heike Monogatari", una obra clásica de la literatura japonesa. El Heike contiene doce libros y un epílogo que fueron escritos a principios del siglo XIII, y que nos narran la rivalidad y la lucha por el poder entre dos clanes militares, los Genji (o Minamoto) y los Heike (o Taira). A menudo el Heike es comparado con otras grandes obras de la literatura, como La Iliada o La Odisea, pero, ¿es esta comparación justa? La obra cubre un periodo de 90 años, de 1131 a 1221, pero la mayoría se enfoca en 18 años, desde que Taira Kiyomori asume el liderazgo en 1167 y hasta la destrucción de las fuerzas de Heike en la batalla "Dan no Ura". Repleto de episodios de guerreros, el Heike es una obra clásica de la literatura japonesa, y es considerada la obra con la cual nace la literatura samurái. En este episodio, platicamos con el Dr. Pitarch y el Dr. Stilerman acerca de qué hace al Heike un clásico de la literatura japonesa, de cómo inaugura la tradición de la literatura samurái y de la relevancia que dicha obra tiene para los lectores contemporáneos. El Dr. Pitarch es profesor de literatura japonesa moderna en la Universidad de Waseda, Tokio. Tiene un doctorado en literatura japonesa por la Universidad de Columbia y un master de la Universidad de Tokio. Es también administrador de la página "Kappa Bunko" sobre literatura japonesa. El Dr. Ariel Stilerman es profesor del Departamento de Idiomas y Culturas del Este de Asia, en la Universidad de Stanford. Cuenta con un doctorado de la Universidad de Columbia y una maestría de la Universidad de Waseda, ambos en literatura japonesa. Su investigación se centra principalmente en la literatura japonesa pre-moderna, específicamente en las poesía de la corte imperial.

El Genji Monogatari o “La Historia de Genji” es una de las obras clásicas de la literatura japonesa. Fue escrita a principios del siglo XI, por Murasaki Shikibu, quien era una mujer que formaba parte de la corte de la Emperatriz a finales del siglo X y comienzos del siglo XI, durante la era Heian. “La historia de Genji” o el Genji Monogatari cuenta la historia del príncipe Genji, su vida amorosa y sus aventuras en la corte imperial del periodo Heian, e incluso abarca la vida de su hijo y su "nieto" tras su muerte. Esta obra es considerada por muchos como una obra cumbre de la literatura japonesa, a la cual se recurre para descubrir algo acerca de la "esencia japonesa". El Genji cuenta con 54 capítulos y casi 800 poemas, lo cual la hace una obra bastante extensa, compleja e intimidante para muchos lectores. Pero, ¿a qué vienen tantos poemas? ¿Por qué es considerada una obra clásica de la literatura japonesa? En este episodio, platicamos con el Dr. Ariel Stilerman y el Dr. Pau Pitarch sobre estas preguntas y por qué es considerada "la primera novela psicológica del mundo", por qué es una obra a la que se acude para conocer algo de la esencia del pueblo japonés, y de por qué es relevante para los lectores contemporáneos. El Dr. Pitarch es profesor de literatura japonesa moderna en la Universidad de Waseda, Tokio. Tiene un doctorado en literatura japonesa por la Universidad de Columbia y un master de la Universidad de Tokio. Es también administrador de la página "Kappa Bunko" sobre literatura japonesa.

Il capitolo finale della vicenda soldi trovati per terra

Raul Allikivi on üle 20 aasta Jaapaniga seotud olnud ettevõtja ning endine riigiametnik, kes on läbi aastate palju panustanud Jaapani-Eesti ärisuhete arendusse. Huvi Jaapani vastu tekkis tal juba kooliajal, kui ta luges ristsõna­lehest Murakas järjejuttu ninja'dest. Ülikoolis hakkas ta politoloogia- ja majandusõpingute kõrvalt jaapani keelt tudeerima. Kui 20 aastat tagasi avanes võimalus aastaks Jaapanisse vahetusüliõpilaseks minna, kasutas ta seda. Eestisse naastes hoidis ta silmad lahti, et Tokyosse naasta ning ta pääses Waseda ülikooli rahvusvaheliste suhete magistriõppesse. Tänaseks on Raul Jaapanis elanud kokku üle tosina aasta ning eelmisel aastal kaasasutas Raul ettevõtte Giga, mis tegeleb Jaapanis töötavate välismaalastele pangandusteenuste pakkumisega. Lisaks sellele on ta aastaid tegelenud Jaapani käsitööjookide maaletoomisega Eestisse, mille valiku leiate veebiaadressilt biiru.ee. Selles saates räägime Elust ja kasvamisest Eesti metsapealinnas Kilingi-Nõmmel Ninja'dest alguse saanud Jaapani huvist Õpingutest Jaapani ühes parimatest ülikoolidest Erinevatest töökohtadest – keeleõpetajast Jaapani ettevõtete Eestisse toomiseni Põhjusest, miks Raul kasutab vaid Samsungi telefoni Eesti e-riigist kirjutatud raamatust, mis ta Jaapanis avaldas Jaapani ärikultuurist ning muutuvast mõttemaailmast noorte seas Giga pangateenusest, mis muudab välismaalaste elu Jaapanis oluliselt lihtsamaks Liitu uudiskirjaga www.globaalsedeestlased.org, et uus saade jõuaks iga nädal sinu postkasti!

»Querida señora: le ruego que me disculpe por enviarle una carta, siendo un completo extraño para usted. Lo que estoy a punto de escribirle, señora, le causará una impresión sin límites. Sin embargo, estoy decidido a presentarle una confesión (la mía) y a describir con todo detalle el terrible crimen que he cometido. EDOGAWA RAMPO (1894-1965), está considerado por la mayoría como el padre de la narrativa japonesa de misterio, el maestro del terror, la novela detectivesca, la fantasía y lo macabro. Nacido en la prefectura de Mie, se graduó en la Universidad de Waseda en 1916 y desempeñó trabajos muy dispares, como contable, administrativo, comerciante y vendedor ambulante, antes de descubrir su vocación de escritor.

#InsideJapan #Episode159 In this episode I spoke with my friend Quint, a professor at Waseda university. He teaches teachers of English in Japan, and we talk about why Japanese students often dislike and abandon learning English. What do many teachers, even trained ones, get wrong when trying to motivate young learners. This is one for the passionate teachers out there, and the people who want to know that there are talented and smart people working on the problem of demotivated English language learners in this country, and that progress is being made little by little. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

Đại hội thể thao chưa tàn Olympic Tokyo đã đoạt huy chương vàng “Thế Vận Hội tốn kém nhất”. Các phí tổn dự trù ban đầu chưa đầy 8 tỷ đô la, nay được báo trước “tối thiểu sẽ phải nhân lên gấp đôi”. Thâm hụt ngân sách của ban tổ chức và nước chủ nhà cũng sẽ là một “kỷ lục” trước viễn cảnh phải hoàn trả lại toàn bộ tiền vé cho khán giả và Nhật Bản không dám đón bất kỳ một du khách nước ngoài nào đến dự sự kiện thể thao trọng đại này. Sau 2.872 ngày đợi chờ kể từ khi Nhật Bản chính thức được chọn tổ chức Thế Vận Hội 2020, Olympic Tokyo mới khai mạc. Tám năm trước, công luận Nhật phấn khởi được tổ chức lễ hội thể thao lớn nhất thế giới và xem Thế Vận Hội Tokyo là một sự tái sinh sau thảm họa sóng thần và tai nạn nhà máy điện hạt nhân Fukushima năm 2011. Nhưng chỉ một con siêu vi nhỏ đã dập tắt sự hào hứng đó. Trong hai tuần lễ, Tokyo là nơi mà các phóng viên bị theo dõi chặt chẽ hơn bất kỳ nơi nào trên thế giới. Lo ngại Covid-19 tái phát, Tokyo và vùng phụ cận đặt trong tình trạng khẩn cấp y tế. 80 % người Nhật cho rằng “nên hủy Olympic Tokyo thì hơn”. Sau lễ khai mạc, điểm tín nhiệm của thủ tướng Nhật, Yoshihide Suga rơi mất 9 điểm. Nhưng đó chỉ là bề nổi của tảng băng. Đối với nước chủ nhà Thế Vận Hội 2020 là một cuộc chạy vượt rào. Lần đầu tiên trong thời bình, Thế Vận Hội mùa hè phải hoãn lại đến một năm ; đe dọa ngôi làng Olympic trở thành ổ dịch vẫn rập rình. Tokyo vào thời điểm này lẽ ra là điểm hẹn của những người yêu thể thao trên thế giới, nhưng Covid-19 đã buộc nước chủ nhà thông báo đóng cửa với toàn bộ 600.000 du khách nước ngoài. Thế rồi ngay cả khán giả Nhật Bản cũng bị cấm cửa các sân vận động, cấm lui tới các bể bơi, những phòng thi đấu để cổ vũ “gà nhà”. Ủy ban Thế Vận Tokyo đang kỳ vọng virus corona không gây trở ngại cho 339 cuộc tranh tài, không len lỏi vào một vài trong số 42 địa điểm thi đấu. Ai cũng biết, không thể có lễ hội thể thao này nếu không có khán giả, và nếu vắng các nhà tài trợ. Olympic chưa khai mạc, Ủy Ban Thế Vận Quốc Tế đã biết trước là sẽ phải hoàn lại tiền vé cho khán giản. Khoản thất thu ước tính lên tới 3 tỷ đô la. Nhà báo Anne Verdaguer phụ trách phần tin kinh tế của đài RFI tiếng Pháp giải thích rõ hơn : “ Cần nói rõ ở đây chúng ta chỉ nói đến khoản liên quan đến các các nhà tài trợ và chưa đề cập đến những tác động kinh tế đối với thủ đô Tokyo. Việc khán giả không được vào xem các cuộc thi đấu có nghĩa là ban tổ chức không thu được tiền vé và cũng không mong bán được nhiều đồ lưu niệm chung quanh sự kiện Olympic Tokyo. Trung bình mỗi khán giả vào xem các cuộc thi đấu thường mua sắm thêm từ 50 đến 100 euro đủ mọi mặt hàng như là mũ, áo thun, túi xách với logo Thế Vận Hội Tokyo… Thêm một khó khăn nữa là không có khán giả, các nhà tài trợ không biết được rằng chiến dịch quảng cáo có hiệu quả hay không và hiệu quả tới mức độ nào. Một hãng bỏ ra rất nhiều tiền để quảng cáo có thể hy vọng có thêm được bao nhiêu khách hàng ? Sẽ có bao nhiêu người trung thành với một nhãn hiệu ? Hiện tại, khoảng 60 tập đoàn tài trợ cho sự kiện thể thao trọng đại này và thêm vào đó là khoảng chừng 12 công ty đa quốc gia. Michel Tapiro, sáng lập viên Trường Quản Lý Thể Thao nêu lên một ẩn số khác liên quan đến hình ảnh của các tập đoàn lớn, đó là một sân vận động khổng lồ không có khán giả báo trước một mùa thi đấu nhàm chán. Olympic lại diễn ra vào thời điểm mà Nhật Bản phải đối mặt với một đợt dịch mới, cho nên không mấy ai nghĩ đến chuyện giải trí. Sau cùng thành phố Tokyo cũng đang hồi hộp không biết rằng sau mùa Thế Vận Hội, hóa đơn phải thanh toán sẽ lên tới bao nhiêu tiền. Thành phố bị thua lỗ tới mức nào. Đừng quên rằng Tokyo có trọng lượng kinh tế tương đương với 19 % GDP của cả nước”.    Gáo nước lạnh cho các nhà tài trợ 68 doanh nghiệp hàng đầu của Nhật Bản tài trợ đến 3 tỷ đô la sự kiện Olympic Tokyo. Đây cũng là một mức tham gia tài chính cao chưa từng thấy. Vậy mà lãnh đạo các tập đoàn này lần lượt thoái lui khi được mời dự lễ khai mạc trên khán đài danh dự. Lại cũng không thấy xuất hiện trên các sân cỏ, tại các địa điểm thi đấu logo của Toyota hay Panasonic, của hãng bia Asahi hay của tập đoàn thực phẩm Ajinomoto, của ông vua mì ăn liền Nissin  … Thật ra tất cả những tên tuổi lớn này của nền công nghiệp Nhật Bản đã chuẩn bị để tham gia Thế Vận Hội Tokyo từ lâu. Họ đã chuẩn bị từ những chiến dịch quảng cáo để phát trên đài truyền hình, những áp phích quảng cáo trong hệ thống xe điện métro, những sự kiện thể thao, văn hóa để quảng cáo sản phẩm trên đường phố, những buổi chiêu đãi ngay trong ngôi làng Olympic, tổ chức xổ số tombola với phần thưởng là vé mời vào xem các cuộc tranh tài … Thế nhưng virus corona khiến những nỗ lực đó đã như dã tràng xe cát. Giờ đây không một công ty lớn nào dám phô trương hình ảnh, hay gắn liền tên tuổi của mình với Olympic Tokyo khi mà đại đa số dân Nhật “chống đối” việc tổ chức sự kiện thể thao này.  Seth Kirby, một chuyên gia về các chiến dịch quảng cáo trong thế giới thể thao đại học Waseda nói đến một “hiện tượng chưa từng xảy ra trong lịch sử cận đại”. Hãng xe Toyota chẳng hạn dự trù Thế Vận Hội kỳ này sẽ biến đường phố Tokyo thành một “tủ kính quảng cáo” ngoài mong đợi để quảng bá với đại chúng về công nghệ hiện đại nhất, về những phát minh mới, những kiểu xe mới. Thế nhưng tất cả đã phải hủy vào giờ chót. Toyota không muốn trông thấy logo của mình xuất hiện tại các sân vận động khổng lồ chung quanh là những hàng ghế trống khán giả. Nhưng cũng có những doanh nghiệp biết xoay xở, “tương kế, tựu kế” : do khủng hoảng y tế, hàng quán phải bị đóng cửa, hãng bia Asahi tuy không tiếp cận được với khán giả tại các sân vận động hay ngôi làng Thế Vận, tập đoàn này dồn nỗ lực cho ngân sách quảng cáo trên đài truyền hình. Một tính toán khôn ngoan bởi đây là kênh duy nhất đưa khán giả Nhật và quốc tế đến gần với Olympic Tokyo. Nhà cung cấp mạng NTT thì chọn mở rộng các dịch vụ để phục vụ tốt hơn các phái đoàn đến tranh tài trên xứ Nhật. Về phía các nhà tài trợ quốc tế như hãng nước ngọt của Mỹ Coca-Cola hay tạp đoàn Samsung của Hàn Quốc thì cũng khai thác tối đa hình ảnh của mình qua các chiến dịch quảng cáo trên tivi với toàn thế giới. Dù vậy Thế Vận Hội lần này để lại nhiều vị đắng trên các nhiều lĩnh vực kinh tế khác. Các hãng hàng không quốc gia ANA hay JAL mất hẳn lượng khách nước ngoài đến tham quan xứ Hoa Anh Đào vào dịp này. Khách sạn, nhà hàng, những dịch vụ giải trí, cửa hàng bán hàng lưu niệm buồn tênh. May mắn thay cho ban tổ chức là các nhà tài trợ dù có thất vọng nhưng đã không hủy hợp đồng để được quyền tham gia Olympic Tokyo. Virus và lỗ hổng trong ngân sách của ban tổ chức Năm 2013 chính phủ Nhật thuyết phục Ủy Ban Thế Vận Quốc Tế rằng Olympic Tokyo sẽ là một mùa thể thao “lành mạnh”, không quá tốn kém nhờ đã có sẵn nhiều cơ sở hạ tầng, Nhật Bản sẽ không để tiền bạc nhận chìm những giá trị Olympic. Thế Vận Hội 2020 sẽ là tủ kính của “công nghệ sạch” của những “phát minh mới”. Ngân sách ban đầu được ấn định ở mức 7,8 tỷ đô la. Tám năm sau, Olympic Tokyo đang trở thành Thế Vận Hội tốn kém nhất từ trước tới nay. Hơn cả mức chi tiêu đến chóng mặt của Bắc Kinh năm 2008 hay Luân Đôn năm năm 2012. Trước mắt các phí tổn dự trù lên tới gần 16 tỷ đô la. Một loạt các chi phí ngoài mong đợi để bảo đảm vệ sinh và an toàn cho các phái đoàn trong mùa đại dịch, và việc đã phải hoãn Thế Vận Hội Tokyo mất một năm giải thích phần lớn khoản phụ trội này. Bên cạnh những lo ngại về y tế, công luận Nhật cho rằng, viễn cảnh thua lỗ cũng là một lý do chính đáng để hủy Olympic Tokyo. Nhà báo Anne Vergaguer không quá bi quan như vậy : “Chính một thành viên ủy ban Thế Vận Hội Tokyo cho rằng Nhật Bản đã bỏ lỡ cơ hội để tuyên bố hủy Olympic năm nay. Nhiều tiếng nói khác ngay cả trong hàng ngũ chính phủ cũng tán đồng quan điểm này. Về phía công luận hơn 80 % những người được hỏi chủ trương nên hủy sự kiện thể thao này là hơn. Nhật Bản đã chi ra hơn 15 tỷ euro cho Thế Vận Hội năm nay và đây là số tiền chưa từng thấy trong lịch sử Olympic. Về câu hỏi vắng bóng khán giả có ảnh hưởng gì đến kinh tế Nhật hay không, câu trả lời gần như là không, bởi vì giới tài chính đã dự trù kịch bản này xảy ra.    Dù vậy, một vài nhà tài trợ Nhật Bản đã trông thấy cổ phiếu của họ bị mất giá do chính phủ quyết định đóng cửa các địa điểm thi đấu với công chúng. Riêng ngành du lịch, khách sạn, nhà hàng, quán bar… thì bị thiệt hại nhiều vì không có du khách. Tuy nhiên nhìn một cách tổng thể ngay cả trong trường hợp Nhật Bản có thể đón đến 600.000 du khách quốc tế, thì số này cũng chỉ tiêu xài một khoản tiền độ chừng 730 triệu euro trong thời gian tham quan Tokyo mà thôi. Số tiền nói trên tương đương với 0,02 % GDP của Nhật. Nói cách khác, kinh tế Nhật Bản không bị chao đảo vì vắng khách ngoại quốc đến xem Thế Vận Hội Tokyo”.     Kinh tế gia Takahide Kiuchi ngân hàng Nomura cũng cho rằng tác động kinh tế của đại hội thể thao Olympic khá giới hạn so với tổng thể GDP của toàn nước Nhật. Ngay cả trong trường hợp Thế Vận Hội kỳ này bị hủy bỏ thì “khoản thất thu cũng không thấm vào đâu so với những tổn thất mà các đợt phong tỏa và tình trạng khẩn cấp y tế để lại”. Tuy nhiên nhà nghiên cứu này cũng "công bằng" với virus corona khi nhắc lại rằng, trong lịch sử Thế Vận Hội, từ năm 1960 tới nay ngân sách chưa bao giờ được “cân bằng” và cũng chưa một ai tôn trọng được ngân sách dự phóng ban đầu. Tuy vậy cũng chưa một mùa Olympic nào ngân sách lại bị nhân lên gấp đôi so với dự kiến ban đầu. Ba năm trước Thế Vận Hội Paris 2024, chắc chắn là Pháp cũng đang lo lắng. Paris dự trù một ngân sách dưới 8 tỷ đô la cho Olympic 2024 và kỳ vọng thu về 11 tỷ nhờ sự kiện thể thao này. Nhưng đó là chưa kể đến những bất ngờ vào giờ chót, vào sự thận trọng của các nhà tài trợ, vào tình hình y tế, xã hội … Cầm chắc nước chủ nhà cũng sẽ bị thua lỗ nhưng liệu rằng Paris có may mắn hơn Tokyo tránh để ngân sách chi tiêu tăng lên gấp đôi hay không ?

LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: Amplitude - The distance between the crest and trough of a wave. Bathymetry - The measurement of depth of water in oceans, seas, or lakes. Nazaré Canyon - An undersea canyon just off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal, in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean. It is the largest submarine canyon in Europe, reaching depths of about 5,000 meters (16,000 ft) deep and a length of about 230 kilometers (140 mi). Plunging Breaker - Occurs when there are rapid depth changes. The crest of the wave becomes very steep, and the rear of the wave violently plunges over the front. Reef Break - A location where waves break over a reef, often amplifying them. Spilling Breaker - Occurs when the seafloor slopes gradually. As the wave becomes unstable, energy is dissipated by water spilling over the crest of the wave. Swell - a slow, regular movement of the sea in rolling waves that do not break. Wave period - The time between waves.

Episode 35 Harshit Sedani (ASIJ 2010) Consultant Born in India, moved to Tokyo when I was 2 and attended Santa Maria. I moved back to India for middle school but returned to finish high school at ASIJ. I moved the US for college, attending Claremont McKenna, where I got a degree in Mathematics and Economics. I took a gap semester in sophomore year and attended Waseda for a semester. After graduating in 2014, I did 3 years of consulting at BCG, did a short stint at AirAsia, then got my MBA at Harvard before returning to consulting in summer 2019. I try to focus my work on aviation, transportation, infrastructure, and the entertainment industry. Outside of my day job, I lead a volunteer coordination program that is aiming to contribute $1M+ in contribution of consulting time and I do small business consulting for women or minority owned business, including in Japan. I also genuinely enjoy mentoring younger people. To relax, I enjoy traveling, with my favourite destinations being eastern and southern Africa, South East Asia, and home (India, Japan, Cali) and passionately following AC Milan, Indian cricket and F-1 (in that order). I keep in very close touch with my ASIJ friends and often travel with them. If anyone is considering doing anything I have, they can reach out to me at hsedani14@cmc.edu.

In this episode, Dr. David Leheny (Waseda) takes a long-term view of the administration of Prime Minister Abe Shinzō, discussing how Abe was able to inspire optimism amongst voters and embrace pop culture to cultivate a popular image that has allowed him to become Japan's longest-serving prime minister.

Leadership is critical in business and the ability of companies to keep tapping their talent to make sure they always have the most competent leaders is a crucial task.  The system actually worked in Japan up until the late 1990s, but it is not working now. The education of leaders in Japan is now way behind compared to the West. Companies can't dither around any longer.  Japan has to really fix this issue and has to do it now. Welcome back to this weekly edition every TUESDAY of "THE Cutting Edge Japan Business Show" I am your host Dr. Greg Story, President of Dale Carnegie Training Japan Well, where is this Cutting Edge?  For all of us, the quality of our people is the cutting edge for success in Japan. In this show I will: Stimulate your thinking about ramping up your business Bring you insights from the best training organisation on the planet Provide you with the highest quality Japan information Motivate you to motivate yourself and motivate those around you Help you to shoot the lights out at results time I don't want to just help you succeed in business.  I want you to dominate! Before we get into this week's topic, here is what caught my attention lately. Japan is facing the impending demographic crunch by investing in robots, software and automation. Goldman Sach's economists are predicting that if investment doesn't rise in response to the labour shortage, Japan will have persistent zero growth from 2030 onward.  Bank of America Merrill Lynch has forecast that IT investment will rise as much as 9% annually.  By 2020, Japan will close the current 10 to 1 investment gap with the US and get to a 5 to 1 ratio.  Convenience store operators like Lawson, FamilyMart and Seven-Eleven Japan are working with the Ministry of Economy Trade and industry to boost productivity. Lawson is testing shopping baskets that allow shoppers to scan and total the cost, as they shop, eliminating the need interact with shop staff.  Japan may be behind now, but their declining youth population is a strong driver to become a world leader in these areas.   Okay, this is episode number 6and we are talking about  Middle Management Madness Soredewa ikimasho, so let's get going.   We all know that senior leaders must work through people and the key leverage group for them are Middle Managers.  Times have changed though.  Today, organisations have become much flatter, many management layers have been eliminated. So for all of us doing more, faster, better with less, screams out for delegation.  Let's put aside the issue of basic delegation nous on the part of the leaders for the moment as a separate issue. What about the capability of the delegatees to pick up the shield and spear?  The successful cascading of responsibilities down the food chain, in a fast moving business world, is what will make or break organisations.    If you think about it Middle Managers are the corporate glue.  They are the people to take the disparate market and system noise, then filter, sort, and nuance it.  It then gets cleaned up and passed across to senior leaders to factor into their immediate and future strategic planning.  These Middle Managers must also amplify the key direction and messages from the senior leadership group down to everyone below.  Well, in theory this is the case.     How is this working out in practice in your company?  Do you have good information flows going both up and down?  Is everyone clear about what is going on and what is expected of them? Are the infamous departmental silos getting together to cooperate?  Are they able to do this, because they all understand and have all bought into the senior leadership team's vision and plans for the organization?   If it is not all sweetness and light, let me talk a little about why that may be the case.  Knowing this information may help to work out how to fix the situation. Middle Managers in Japan are tutored by their sempai– their seniors.  The seniors themselves were similarly tutored by their sempai.  Looking at the postwar period there are distinct periods of managerial mis-development.    The Imperial Japanese military officer corps returning from the war came back to a devastated economy and were placed in leadership positions in the rebuilt companies.  The 1960s and 1970s saw Japan overtake the major European economies one by one. This was built off disciplined hard work and almost feudal sacrifice of family. For those in large companies, lifetime employment meant total 100 dedication was expected.  “Tough love” which had been the military model of producing troops willing to die unquestioningly for Emperor Hirohito was kept alive as a management notion.  In the post war period of reconstruction of the country, tough love was being meted out by the same officer corps, now turned corporate managers.  Leadership was top down, mainly barking out orders and berating subordinates.   The bursting of the bubble in the late 1980s left a corporate hangover with important side effects. Marketing and training budgets were slashed as companies struggled to survive.  Thirty-somethings in the 1990s became the “lost leadership generation” because they didn't get much leadership training.  They had to work it out by themselves as they moved up the ranks and being promoted not because of their ability, but based on age and seniority.  Unfortunately, by the time the training faucet got turned on again inside companies, it went to their kohai or juniors.  They might have become the sempaithemselves now but they had missed out.  The content of their inherited tutor curriculum from their own sempai became all they had to go on and the tough love methodology became frozen in time. The postwar system emphasised hard skills, but had little clue about how to develop civilians using soft skills. Today, in their fifties and sixties and in senior roles, many older leaders have not been challenged by a new management idea in twenty year to thirty years.  Isn't that a scary thought?  It gets worse when you consider older leaders having to deal with this internet savvy younger generation. By the way, the psychological and values gap between this older senior generation and the young millennials, now entering the workforce, is vast.  Think  measurable in light years, rather than calendar years – that is the gap we are talking about.  Just go ask these young people how well they think the senior leaders in their company understand their generation.  Brace yourself for the answer.   We live in interesting times.  So lets keep going into what happened in the 2000s. The Lehman Shock in 2008 left a renewed legacy of instability.  Lifetime employment suffered collateral damage during the meltdown.  The demise of Yamaichi Securities was a major shock in Japan.  Don't miss the events importance.  This was a big turning point.  It put the loyal and diligent Japanese employee on the street.  They were the “I gave up my family for the company” types. This was a hammer blow to the traditional worker-company mutual benefit win-win compact. In the immediate post-Lehman period, training and marketing budgets again took some intense blows. The upshot of all these things has been that sempai-led On The Job Training or OJT, has remained the central pillar of Middle Management education in Japan.  Here is a key point to put all of this into context -OJT's philosophical and practical roots stretch unbroken to the pre-1945 Imperial Officer Academies of tough love.  Think about this conundrum. This is a highly literate and well educated society, extremely sophisticated and advanced.  So why is there is still no real domestic equivalent in Japan of the quality of the West's major business schools, churning out the best and the brightest Middle Managers?    My previous company sent me to the Harvard Business School during a snowy and cold February, to attend a week long programme called Managing Professional Service Firms.  It was a tremendous experience, but the real Japan insight for me came after the course finished.  I was sitting on the plane on the long flight home thinking to myself, “Wow, Japan has nothing like this.  Why is that?”.  Waseda, Keio and Hitotsubashi Universities have tried to catch up and Hori san launched Globis University to try and bridge the gap.  I think everyone would agree we still have some way to go though. What has this meant for companies today?   After the break we will find out! Welcome back.  So where are we today? What has this meant for companies?    We are left with multi generations of undereducated managers, doing their best, but still channeling their past-use-by-date unreconstructedsempai'sleadership techniques stretching back to the pre-war period.  They are all swirling around a tight whirlpool, out of context and out of touch with contemporary corporate needs.  This is the critical reason why dated theories like the 70/20/10 model for learning and development are irrelevant here in Japan. These buzz words are greatly loved by the HR function in Japanhowever, both the 20% from the sempaiand the 10% component from training simply fail to deliver.  Why is that? In my experience, corporate training in Japan is almost 100% ineffective.  Old style corporate Japan loves lecture and Japanese trainers just love to talk.  There is plenty of one-way traffic around the “What” and “How” but little or nothing around the “Why”.  The research tells us that we get five times more engagement by participants in the class, when we use the “discussion-decision” approach rather than lecture.  “Distributed Intelligence” – using the full experience and smarts power of the group - is another powerful tool rarely utilized in Japan.  What have you seen in your own company?  What has been your experience so far?  Are you confident that the people running the training programmes really know their stuff and know what they are doing?   If you were hoping for a post-training performance pick-up for your organization from traditional Japanese corporate training methods, then good luck!  Daily, battalions of company trainees troop back to their desks and resume hostilities, without making any changes to how they do their job. What was the training for if they don't use it?  Einstein noted that we can define insanity as “continuing to do the same things in the same way, but expecting a different outcome”.  We must all be mad to keep using such such outdated approaches and yet keep expecting major outcomes from the training!    Until OJT is re-configured together with better training delivery, which actually leads to behavior change, then there will be no progress.  Think about it for a moment.  If we can't get behavior change, then how can we expect to get any progress?  Thanks to the way companies are traditionally run, Middle Managers will continue to squander their key role.  They will fail to communicate in ways that trigger enthusiasm, inspiration, empowerment, and confidence.  They won't have much mastery of the soft skills.  High levels of staff engagement will never be achieved.  Critically, engagement is the magic spring from which flows innovation, commitment and motivation in teams.  If you are not engaged and don't care, why would you care enough to try to make things better?  Innovation and engagement are directly linked.  How are the engagement scores down at your shop?  Okay, forget the survey scores.  Look around.  Are people really engaged or are they just there to get paid?   The isolated, male, greying Corporate Boardroom can continue to pontificate from on high about the company vision, but as we well know, actual workplace change is delivered by Middle Managers.    Are you confident that the succession planning construct has the right talent pool to draw on?  What is your organization doing right now to deliver better Middle Management capability in Japan?  Is this topic, even a topic yet, inside your firm?  There is some food for thought.  Let me know how you are doing with this issue.     Keep pushing hard with us here at THE Cutting Edge Japan Business Show.  Subscribe on YouTube, share it with your family, friends and colleagues, become a regular.

Hvað gerist þegar ísbirna skrifar sjálfsævisögu sína? Orðin verða göldrótt. Eins og bókin Etýður í snjó. Rithöfundurinn Auður Jónsdóttir og blaðamaðurinn Bára Huld Beck ræddu þessa göldróttu bók við þýðanda hennar, Elísu Björgu Þorsteinsdóttur, og fóru á flug. Þær náðu þó ekki að segja nærri allt því svo margt má segja um þessa bók. Þetta er annar þáttur þar sem þáttastjórnendur fá til sín góðan gest til að ræða höfunda og verk þeirra sem koma á Bókmenntahátíð Reykjavíkur sem haldin verður dagana 24. til 27. apríl næstkomandi. Höfundur Etýður í snjó, Yoko Tawada, verður gestur á hátíðinni en hún er fyrir margt merkilegur höfundur. Hún fæddist árið 1960 í Japan og gaf út sitt fyrsta verk árið 1987. Hún lagði stund á rússnesku og rússneskar bókmenntir í Waseda-háskóla en eftir það fór hún til Þýskalands þar sem hún lærði þýskar samtímabókmenntir við Háskólann í Hamborg og kláraði doktorspróf frá Háskólanum í Zurich. Tawada býr og starfar í Þýskalandi og skrifar bæði á þýsku og japönsku. Hún hefur hlotið fjölda verðlauna fyrir bækur sínar. Auður Jónsdóttir les kafla upp úr Etýður í snjó í lok þáttar.
