Podcasts about Yamanashi

Autumn of 2024. An hour before sunset. In front of Kofu Station, the capital of Yamanashi-ken, Japan, a group of elementary school students (shougakusei) waited for the bus that would take them back home. Recorded by Gus - On Collector.

"I know I'm not alone in having many experiences of waiting for the bus. Sometimes anxiety-ridden and isolating, other times sweetened by the company of friends or a loved one. Either way, the bus brings to mind nostalgia, impermanence, and above all, connection. "My memories of waiting at the bus stop layer like patches in this track, tiny dots weaving through various recollections. A mental tug of war between the days events and future dreaming. The bus ride itself is like being in a cradle: the hum, the screeching, and the hydraulics coming together in it's own unique score. "Whenever I find myself waiting for the bus, I always feel simultaneously alone and connected. Linked, as if all of us passengers were bound together in a web of melancholy. These moments of waiting aren't passive: they're kids playing, thoughts running back and forth like a game of tag. The recording of children waiting for the bus brought to mind the transience of childhood and the idea of life as a journey. After all, as the familiar adage goes: “we are all just walking each other home.”" Children waiting for a school bus in Yamanashi, Japan reimagined by Aemi Kato-Cuarezma.

fWotD Episode 2657: Flag of Japan Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 13 August 2024 is Flag of Japan.The national flag of Japan is a rectangular white banner bearing a crimson-red circle at its center. This flag is officially called the Nisshōki (日章旗, 'flag of the sun'), but is more commonly known in Japan as the Hinomaru (日の丸, 'Ball of the sun'). It embodies the country's sobriquet: the Land of the Rising Sun.The Nisshoki flag is designated as the national flag in the Act on National Flag and Anthem, which was promulgated and became effective on 13 August 1999. Although no earlier legislation had specified a national flag, the sun-disc flag had already become the de facto national flag of Japan. Two proclamations issued in 1870 by the Daijō-kan, the governmental body of the early Meiji period, each had a provision for a design of the national flag. A sun-disc flag was adopted as the national flag for merchant ships under Proclamation No. 57 of Meiji 3 (issued on 27 February 1870), and as the national flag used by the Navy under Proclamation No. 651 of Meiji 3 (issued on 27 October 1870). Use of the Hinomaru was severely restricted during the early years of the Allied occupation of Japan after World War II; these restrictions were later relaxed.The sun plays an important role in Japanese mythology and religion, as the Emperor is said to be the direct descendant of the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu, and the legitimacy of the ruling house rested on this divine appointment. The name of the country as well as the design of the flag reflect this central importance of the sun. The ancient history Shoku Nihongi says that Emperor Monmu used a flag representing the sun in his court in 701, the first recorded use of a sun-motif flag in Japan. The oldest existing flag is preserved in Unpō-ji temple, Kōshū, Yamanashi, which is older than the 16th century, and an ancient legend says that the flag was given to the temple by Emperor Go-Reizei in the 11th century. During the Meiji Restoration, the sun disc and the Rising Sun Ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army became major symbols in the emerging Japanese Empire. Propaganda posters, textbooks, and films depicted the flag as a source of pride and patriotism. In Japanese homes, citizens were required to display the flag during national holidays, celebrations and other occasions as decreed by the government. Different tokens of devotion to Japan and its Emperor featuring the Hinomaru motif became popular among the public during the Second Sino-Japanese War and other conflicts. These tokens ranged from slogans written on the flag to clothing items and dishes that resembled the flag.Public perception of the national flag varies. Historically, both Western and Japanese sources claimed the flag was a powerful and enduring symbol to the Japanese. Since the end of World War II (the Pacific War), the use of the flag and the national anthem Kimigayo has been a contentious issue for Japan's public schools, and disputes about their use have led to protests and lawsuits. Several military banners of Japan are based on the Hinomaru, including the sunrayed naval ensign. The Hinomaru also serves as a template for other Japanese flags in public and private use.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Tuesday, 13 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Flag of Japan on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Geraint.

Mokuhanga has the ability to take the artist or craftsperson anywhere they would like to be. From the subject matter in their studio to physical movement around the world, teaching, exploring, and discovering. Wonder and beauty is what makes mokuhanga so special.   In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with printmaker Jacqueline Gribbin, who has spent years honing her craft in mokuhanga and other printmaking techniques across Japan, Southeast Asia, and Australia. We discuss her deep connection with Indigenous communities, collaborating with the late Ralph Kiggell, and exploring the nuances of water-based and oil-based mokuhanga. Jaqueline explains her experiences traveling to isolated communities, conducting workshops, and sharing her passion for printmaking. We'll explore her teaching methods, the importance of community in her work, and how she balances creating and selling her 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. Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Artists works follow after the note if available. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Print publishers are given if known. Jacqueline Gribbin - website  Shifting Tides (2022) Nagasawa Art Park (MI Lab) Awaji City - Nagasawa Art Park was an artist-in-residence program located in Awaji City, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It was open for 12 years before evolving into MI Lab in 2012. More info, here.    Keiko Kadota (1942-2017) - was the director of Nagasawa Art Park at Awaji City from 1997-2011, and then of MI Lab at Lake Kawaguchi from 2011 until her passing.   Toru Ueba - was a print instructor at Nagasawa Art Park, and was one of Yoonmi's instructors in 2004.   Ralph Kiggell (1960-2022) -  was one of the most important mokuhanga practitioners. Originally from England, Ralph lived and worked in Thailand. Ralph pushed the boundaries of mokuhanga with extremely large pieces, jigsaw carving, and by using fantastic colour. He also worked with the International Mokuhanga Conference to promote mokuhanga around the world. He will be greatly missed. Ralph's work can be found, here. His obituary in The Guardian can be found, here. His interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here.     Orange Flower On Blue    Hiroki Satake - is a mokuhanga printmaker, and instructor based in Japan. He has taught at MI Lab, as well as given demonstrations regarding tool sharpening, around the world. Instagram   赤絵（アンドレ・マルティ「狼よ！」より) (2022) 34.7cm×28.4cm   registration - there are several registration methods in mokuhanga. The traditional method is called the kentō registration, where you carve two notches, straight another an "L." There is also a "floating kentō," which is where the notches are cut in a piece of "L" shaped wood and not on the wood where you are cutting your image, hence "floating." Lastly, there are removable "pins," such as ones made by Ternes Burton.    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. Below is a fine example of bokashi by Paul Binnie:     The Torii Gate at Miyajima (2009) 37.5 x 26cm sizing paper - at times mokuhanga printmakers will size their paper. Size is made from water, animal glue (rabbit, horse), and alum. What the size does is keep the pigments the artist uses from “bleeding” into the outer edges of the paper. There are many recipes of size, here is one that artist Walter J. Phillips used.   intaglio printing - is a printing method, also called etching, using metal plates such as zinc, and copper, creating “recessed” areas which are printed with ink on the surface of these "recesses.” More info, here. The MET has info, here.     serigraphy - is another word for the art of silk screen printing. Silk screen printing can be in on various materials, silk, canvas, paper.    lithography: A printing process where images are transferred onto a surface using a flat plate or stone.   Yoshitaka Amano (b. 1952) - is a character designer for the Final Fantasy video game series. He uses ukiyo-e and Japanese woodblock prints as insirpation for some of his work.    Takashi Murakami (b. 1962) is a contemporary artist best known for his fine art works and contributions to the commercial market. His works are heavily influenced by manga and anime, characterized by their bright colors and distinctive style. Multicolour Superflat Flowers - archival pigment print, silkscreen, 45 cm x 17.7cm   Margaret Thatcher 1925-2013) -  was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the office and remains one of the most influential figures in British political history. Leading the Conservative Party, Thatcher implemented a series of economic policies known as "Thatcherism," which emphasized deregulation, privatization of state-owned industries, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Her tenure was marked by significant economic transformation, as well as controversial measures that sparked widespread debate and protest.    Tamarind Institute - was originally founded in Los Angeles in 1960 by June Wayne, and is a world renowned center for fine art lithography. Established to revive and sustain the art of lithography, which was in decline in the United States, Tamarind quickly became a leader in the education and promotion of lithographic techniques. In 1970, the institute moved to the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where it continues to thrive as a key institution in the printmaking world. Dedicated to advancing the lithographic arts through rigorous education, collaborative projects, and the production of high-quality prints, the Tamarind Institute's influence extends globally, contributing significantly to the development and appreciation of lithography as a vibrant art form.

Esta es una versión moderna de La Coraza de San Patricio, una plegaria escrita en Irlanda en el siglo IX. “Hoy me arropo en Dios” es una manera de querer traducir el original en inglés “I bind unto myself today” (literalmente “Ato a mí mismo este día”) de una manera más clara que la traducción literal. Porque este es un “atar” para ganar poder, no para encadenarse a sí mismo. Y una vez que comencé por transformar el título para expresar mejor el sentido profundo del texto, seguí por delante con cada una de las líneas, y acabé con este nuevo texto que aquí vas a escuchar. El texto está inspirado cien por ciento en La Coraza de San Patricio, pero es una versión libre y moderna de su maravilloso lenguaje original, que es como un río caudaloso. Te invito a orar conmigo así cada mañana: con pasión, con entrega, con ansias de ver a Dios transformando tu día. No es una oración para mediocres ni timoratos, porque los mediocres y timoratos (y los ateos, claro) se asustan de que alguien ore con genuina convicción de que su oración se alza más allá de las paredes del cuarto en que se encuentra orando. Cada quien sabe el tamaño de su fe. Y de sus anhelos y metas. Ponlo a prueba: ora conmigo esta oración durante siete días, de todo corazón, y verás cómo tu vida cambia para bien.

Those who want to climb one of the most popular trails on Japan's iconic Mount Fuji will have to book a slot and pay a fee as crowds, littering and climbers who try to rush too fast to the summit cause safety and conservation concerns at the picturesque stratovolcano. The new rules for the climbing season, starting July 1 to September 10, apply for those hiking the Yoshida Trail on the Yamanashi side of the 3,776 meter- (nearly 12,300 feet-) high mountain that was designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2013. Only 4,000 climbers will be allowed to enter the trail per day for a hiking fee of 2,000 yen (about $18). Of those slots, 3,000 will be available for online booking and the remaining 1,000 can be booked in person on the day of the climb, Yamanashi prefecture said in a statement via the Foreign Press Center of Japan. Hikers also have an option of donating an additional 1,000 yen (about $9) for conservation. Climbers can book their slots via the Mount Fuji Climbing website, which is jointly run by the Environment Ministry and the mountain's two home prefectures, Yamanashi and Shizuoka. Under the new system, climbers must choose between a day hike or an overnight stay at the several available huts along the trail. On the day of their climb, they are given a QR code to be scanned at the 5th station. Those who have not booked an overnight hut will be sent back down and not allowed to climb between 4:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., mainly to stop “bullet climbing,” or rushing to the summit without adequate rest, which authorities are worried puts lives at risk. A symbol of Japan, the mountain called “Fujisan” used to be a place of pilgrimage. Today, it especially attracts hikers who climb to the summit to see the sunrise. But the tons of trash that's left behind, including plastic bottles, food and even clothes, have become a major concern. Overtourism has also become a growing issue at other popular tourist destinations such as Kyoto and Kamakura as foreign visitors have flocked to Japan in droves since the coronavirus pandemic restrictions were lifted.

- Trong bối cảnh Nhật Bản đang phải đối mặt với vấn đề già hóa dân số và thiếu hụt nguồn lực lao động ngày càng nghiêm trọng, Chính phủ Nhật Bản nói chung và các địa phương của nước này nói riêng đang nỗ lực triển khai nhiều giải pháp nhằm thu hút lao động nước ngoài, trong đó có lao động Việt Nam.

An 11-year-old mountaineer from Yamanashi prefecture is gearing up to conquer Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. In Adachi Ward, a small explosive device detonated near Nishi-arai Train Station late Monday injuring one passer-by. In Singapore, a Tokyo-based venture capital company, made up of Japanese bank SMBC and the Incubate Fund, has established a funding initiative, investing across Asia in promising finance-related technology or fintech. This coincides with NexTech Week Tokyo, a 2-day technology trade fair taking place at Tokyo Big Site from today until Friday, with a second session planned for later this autumn. And as the spring holiday season ends, a holiday invented in 1948 then christened 'Golden Week' in 1951 by the Japanese film industry, we walk to Tokyo Tower one warm and windy afternoon listening as people return to work. — Substack: notebookpodcast.substack.com Instagram: @notebook_pod Twitter: @notebook_pod — Get in touch: notebook.podcast@gmail.com Leave a message: speakpipe.com/notebook — Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Nobu Yamanashi, President of Yama Seafood, Inc. Yama Seafood is a family-owned and run business with a worldwide reach for seafood, including sourcing in Japan from the prime market. Yamanashi talks about the journey of the seafood industry, from how his father started the company and also shares the challenges of sourcing, logistics, and weather delays. He highlights how the business requires a lot of expertise, skills, and knowledge and is more people-driven rather than systems-driven. Yama Seafood has the agility of a small company with a large volume and much better customer service than a larger company. They also discuss pivoting during COVID-19 to the direct-to-consumer market and their interest in growing this home-delivery market. Additionally, Yamanashi talks about its company culture, training, and company values.

"Dear you, spending painful days pretending to be okay for someone else. You don't need to tell us everything... but how about just a little of it?" Imagine you're in the bathroom at uni and you notice a message like that printed on the toilet roll. Pretty weird right?! Well that's exactly the situation students in the Yamanashi region of Japan found themselves in, when authorities rolled out their new suicide prevention initiative. That's one example of the messages that were thought out by mental health specialists, and the toilet rolls also feature the number of a suicide prevention helpline and soothing images, like a cat playing with a ball or a young girl underneath an umbrella. Why are they looking to help young people specifically? Are things worse in Japan than elsewhere in the world? What's the attitude towards mental health in Japan?

"Cher toi, qui passes des jours difficiles en prétendant que tout va bien. Tu n'as pas besoin de tout nous raconter... mais pourquoi pas juste un petit peu ?" C'est ce qu'on peut lire sur les rouleaux de papier toilette dans plusieurs universités au Japon. On peut aussi trouver le numéro de téléphone d'une ligne d'écoute de prévention contre le suicide et des images apaisantes au style manga d'un chat roulé en boule ou d'une jeune fille sous un parapluie. Le concept a été imaginé par les universités de la préfecture de Yamanashi, un département à l'ouest de Tokyo au Japon, et les messages, pensés par des spécialistes de la santé mentale. Selon eux, les toilettes sont un lieu où les étudiants peuvent être isolés, en proie aux idées noires. Et pourquoi ça s'adresse aux jeunes en particulier ? Plus inquiétante qu'ailleurs dans le monde ? La forêt des suicides ? Écoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez".

Dans la région de Yamanashi à l'ouest de Tokyo, les autorités japonaises ont décidé de prendre à bras de corps l'augmentation des cas de suicides chez les jeunes. Ici pas de vidéo TikTok, ni de campagne Youtube. Les autorités ont fait en sorte de capter l'attention des jeunes… aux toilettes. 6000 rouleaux de papiers toilette ont été distribués dans 12 universités de la région. Dessus, on peut y lire « Cher toi, qui passe des jours difficiles en prétendant que tout va bien…” ou encore “Tu n'as pas besoin de tout nous raconter... mais pourquoi pas juste un petit peu ?”. En plus de ces messages destinés à réconforter les étudiants, en déroulant le PQ, un numéro vert s'affiche ainsi que des dessins kiwai de chats supposés être apaisants…Une chronique signée Estelle Ndjandjo.

In lieu of Riki Choshu: Part Three, which will air next week, Write That Down! presents The Life & Times of Jumbo Tsuruta, a super-cut of the two episodes Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper did on Tsuruta last year. Part One: Fumi & Justin went in deep on the early days of Tomomi “Jumbo Tsuruta, from his early days growing up in Yamanashi prefecture on his parents' grape & peach farm, playing basketball in high school, and his quick transition to amateur wrestling which led to him competing at the 1972 Munich Olympics. They also talked about Tsuruta's move to pro wrestling shortly after the Olympics. Both Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki were courting the young phenom before he decided on joining All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he'd go on to become a company legend over the next few decades. They also touched on Jumbo's early training days with the Funks in Texas, his 1984 AWA World title run, his very special rivalries with Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen, the unique PWF ruleset, and his subsequent image change in the late '80s ahead of the Super Generation Army era of the '90s. Part Two: This episode picks up in 1985–1986, which is when Riki Choshu turned heel on Tatsumi Fujinami and left NJPW for AJPW with the rest of his ISHIN-GUN crew. It was around this time that Jumbo evolved into a type of enforcer for All Japan, as his character from the '70s and early '80s became bigger, gruffer and meaner. They also talked about Jumbo's relationships to Stan Hansen and Genichiro Tenryu, two of his most important rivals, his use of the power bomb, Tenryu leaving AJPW to help form SWS, and his truly legendary Nippon Budokan match vs. a young Mitsuharu Misawa.

PODCAST: Prueba de ADN confirma definitivamente que los huesos hallados en la montaña de Yamanashi son de la niña desaparecida en 2019. ESCUCHE MÁS AQUÍ.

Hello. Welcome to Jenni's Pika Pika Japanese. Well, yesterday I talked about how cold it is even though it is April. I was watching the news and heard that it snowed and piled up in Yamanashi. In Japan, there is an idiom, "Hot and cold last until the equinox(Higan). This means that the cold winter will warm up after the equinoxes. The equinox is the day of the spring equinox (March 21 this year), when the length of day and night are the same. In Japan, Ohigan is a day to make offerings to ancestors. This year's spring Ohigan falls on March 18, the first day of the equinoxes, March 21, the middle day, and March 24, the end of the equinoxes. During the period around the middle day, people visit graves, clean Buddhist altars, and make offerings as a way of showing gratitude to their ancestors. On the day of the vernal equinox, the emperor performs a ceremony to honor the spirits of successive emperors, empresses, and imperial parents at the Kou-Rei-den Hall, one of the three halls of the palace.At each shrine, the Grand Chief Priest and other priests perform "Youhaisiki" Ceremony. It is a bit surprising that it snowed two weeks after such an Ohigan. Well, today's episode is a sample from the audiobook, "Good Morning!" こんにちは。 ジェニのピカピカ日本語へようこそ。 さて、昨日はここで4月になったのに寒いというお話をしましたが、ニュースを見ていたら山梨で雪が降って積もったそうです。 日本には「暑さ寒さも彼岸まで」という慣用句があります。 これは、寒かった冬もお彼岸を過ぎると温かくなりますという事で、お彼岸とは春分の日（今年は3月21日）を指し、昼と夜の長さが同じになる日だそうです。 そして日本ではお彼岸は、先祖を供養する日で今年の春のお彼岸は、3月18日が彼岸入り、3月21日の春分の日が中日で、3月24日が彼岸明けで、お中日を中心に期間中は、ご先祖様への感謝の意味を込め、お墓参りや仏壇の掃除、お供えなどの供養を行います。 そして、春分の日に、天皇陛下が宮中三殿の一つである皇霊殿（こうれいでん）で、歴代天皇・皇后・皇親等の神霊のお祭りを執り行わせられ、各地の神社では大宮司以下の神職が遙拝式（ようはいしき）を行います。 そんなお彼岸を2週間も過ぎてから雪というのはちょっとびっくりです。 さて、今日のエピソードはオーディオブックからサンプル、「おはようございます」です。

This building was constructed in 1904 by one of our predecessors, Kotaro Miyazaki. Being Japan's oldest wooden winery, this building is recognized by the Japanese government as a historic asset from the Meiji period's industrial modernization from 1868 to 1912, and as such, has been a museum since 1974. While studying in France, Masana Maeda, an early supporter of Japan's industrial modernization, purchased seeds and seedlings of more than 1,000 species of plants, trees, fruit trees, and grains to bring back to Japan. In addition, an agronomist named Charles Baltet prepared 10,000 vines for Maeda. In 1877, Maeda asked Baltet to help educate Masanari Takano and Ryuken Tsuchiya, two young men from this area, in the art of wine making. Baltet had the two travel to Troyes, the Champagne region of northern France, to study under his assistant, Pierre Dupont. Kotaro Miyazaki's father refused to let him travel to France with the other two. However, when Dai-Nihon Yamanashi Budoshu Company Limited, Yamanashi's first winery, failed in 1886, Miyazaki decided to collaborate with Ryuken Tsuchiya to establish Kai-san Budoshu Winery, and in 1888 opened Kai-San Shoten as a sales office in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. The first wine the two made in the French style didn't sell well. Later, Miyazaki decided to go it alone, while Tsuchiya went off to found his own winery. Instead of producing dry French-style wines, Miyazaki began to produce sweeter wines, which sold markedly better. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chateau-mercian/message

In the late 19th Century, wine was shipped down the Fuefuki River to the Fuji River where it would be transferred on to Shizuoka, and finally on to Tokyo by train. It took more than a full day to make the trip to Tokyo, and the wine bottles had to be handled many times during transfers from boat to boat and then to train. In 1903, the train line made its way through the mountains to Kofu, Yamanashi's capital city, thus reducing the time it took to transport wine to Tokyo to just 6 or 7 hours! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chateau-mercian/message

Darren McKellin shared great insight into how he became a leader through his journey to mindful leadership. Mr. McKellin's choice to come to Japan was both one of economic strategy and love for international affairs after studying in both Mexico and Sweden during college. After college, Mr. McKellin joined the Japanese air cargo company Kintestsu located in Chicago. Through the directors' brother, he was able to move to Japan as an English teacher in Yamanashi. After a year he moved to Omotesando to work at his old boss's brothers' company in Minami Aoyama where he worked for four years.   This was the beginning of his 30-year long career in Japan. At this company, Mr. McKellin learnt about sales and selling products to a Japanese consumer.  When he left this company after four years, he had one failing venture at Chrysler Japan but that did not stop him from persevering through a difficult time with macho management and a harsh environment to thrive him. Afterwards, he moved to sell ads for a computing magazine known as Japan Inc.   Through Japan Inc he was able to gain connections with various tech companies both large companies and small start-up companies. Through this opportunity selling ad space for the Japan Inc magazine, he learnt more about systems interrogation type of work. Through the gaining rise of technology and his gaining interest in the IT market, this would eventually be his last job outside the IT world. After Japan Inc. He would later join the tech company called Techno Box. This company was the first cloud serving within Japan which allowed him to learn more about managing a team of people. After this, he would move to World Com but they went bankrupt two years later.   After this stressful time, he gained a job at Vodafone. He did this through the power of intention which was an important part of his success. Mr. McKellin has gained an appreciation for intention and mindfulness when he read the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill as a young child at his grandfather's house. The idea of mindfulness had become an integral part of Mr. McKellin's life and the reason for his success.   At and after his time at Vodafone, he began to grow as a leader managing large teams of people at Oracle and later NetSuite. As a leader, he learnt how to use harmony, and patience as a way to motivate and lead his team to great success. Through his use of mindfulness and gaining inspiration from Google's ‘search inside yourself' program, he co-founded the Mindfulness Project at Oracle which helped improve the lives and mental health of employees. After his time at these two companies, he became the regional head of Zscaler.   Currently, through his ideals, he has helped the team at Zscaler grow at a tremendous speed. He has helped develop the team from five people to sixty. Which has also helped Zscaler become a top leading IT company which now has a $40 billion market cap. Not only has he helped Zscaler become a leading company he also wrote a book to help others. His book ‘Mind Over Sales' is a revolutionary book that helps readers gain knowledge about how they should use mindfulness to develop a more fulfilling life and successful career. Mr. McKellin strives at helping other gain knowledge about seeking self-awareness, intention, and harmonization to gain effortless success in their life.

Shinji Maeda is a Shin-Issei who is active in our community as founder and president of Aero Zypangu Project, a 501c3 non-profit organization he founded with his supporters. Its mission is “to provide opportunities and experiences that inspire hope, strength, and joy in people with disabilities, in youngsters, and in their families through aviation activities.” Through his motivational lectures and discovery flight lessons, Shinji delivers his message, “Nothing is impossible,” through his own life experiences. Shinji began dreaming about becoming a pilot when he was a kindergartener. “The view of Tokachi Plain looking down from my flight back from Tokyo, which was my first trip out from Hokkaido, was so beautiful. I remember I was convinced to become a pilot to see this kind of scenery all the time.” As a child, Shinji loved looking up at the sky from his father's farmland, thinking about becoming a pilot. After graduating from junior high school, he left his parents' home to attend Japan Aviation High School in Yamanashi Prefecture, west of Tokyo. From there, he was admitted to the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the College of Science and Technology, Nihon University. As he was striving toward his dream, he experienced a major setback in his first year of college. He was hit by a car on the street and lost sight in his right eye.   In Japan, you cannot be a pilot with sight in only one eye. “Many adults back then advised me that it's almost impossible for people with disabilities to play an active role in the aviation industry. I had been thinking about life only as a pilot, so I was totally lost,” says Shinji. He even thought about suicide. But harsh words from his high school teacher, who called him from Yamanashi, saved Shinji. His teacher told him, “Even if you die, the world will just forget about you and nothing will change. I will forget you, too. If you die here, you are the loser. The only thing that happens is that your parents will cry for you throughout the rest of their lives.” All his friends from high school and college also supported him in chasing his dream of becoming a pilot.   After graduating from Nihon University, he moved to the United States to earn a master's degree at Embry-Riddle Aviation University, Prescott, Arizona, with the aim of finding a job in the aviation industry as his career. “I realized that I cannot pursue my dream if I stay in Japan. I did research to find colleges outside of Japan which offer master's programs in risk management, which I started to become interested in after I suffered from the car accident. Embry-Riddle was the only option.” After graduating from Embry-Riddle, he started working as a technical coordinator at the North American Headquarters of ShinMaywa Industries, Ltd. in California. “This very first opportunity for me to work in the aviation industry gave me great understanding about aerospace production and its industry,” says Shinji. After working a few years at ShinMaywa, he was headhunted by his client at Boeing. “It was a great surprise for me. I never thought that I could get a job at Boeing!” Now he has been working as a manufacturing operation specialist at Boeing for 13 years. “My job is to analyze how to efficiently build the wings of airplanes and manage the process,” says Shinji. He has been successfully working in the aviation industry which he was told was “impossible.” Another turning point for him came when he was on a long-term business trip in Japan for Boeing. “It was more than ten years after I moved to the United States. But I realized that the sky in Japan had not changed. There were no pilots with disabilities in Japan,” says Shinji. He also questioned how most engineers in the Japanese aviation industry had no experience flying aircraft. He wanted to change this situation. When he returned to the United States, he obtained a license as a commercial pilot. He had previously obtained licenses as a non-commercial pilot and a flight instructor. Although he had already started delivering motivational lectures at different educational institutions, he then launched the Aero Zypangu Project to officially start his activities. With his instructor's license, he began leading “Discovery Flights” where anyone can hold the control stick on his airplane and experience flying. “My message with Discovery Flight is ‘you can be a pilot!'” It does not have to be only for those who want to become pilots. “It is important to give confidence to young people through this ‘I can do it' experience,” explains Shinji. He also started to warm up to the concept of a round-the-world flight mission to spread his “you can do it” message even further. Carrying out the round-the-world flight as a pilot and aviation engineer “Lucy” is the aircraft that Shinji took off in on May 1. She is a Beechcraft Bonanza made in 1963.   “I purchased her from my former boss at ShinMaywa. He gave me a very reasonable price after I told him about my round-the-world flight mission,” says Shinji. It was a long process after the purchase. “It took about four years. I worked with professional engineers who are experts in different areas to retrofit her. We replaced her engine, propeller, navigation system, etc.” This process was possible because of his career background. “Honestly, I used to be worried about whether or not I could really go around the world with such an old aircraft,” he confesses. “At that time, I met Adrian Eichhorn, who made a successful round-the-world flight with the same Beechcraft Bonanza 1963 aircraft in 2016.” When Shinji contacted Adrian, his reply was very curt, as he assumed Shinji was not serious like many other inquirers. But after looking at Shinji's serious plan in progress, Adrian messaged Shinji, “Sorry, I wish I had cooperated earlier. I will help you out.” After that, Adrian frequently visited Seattle from his base in Washington, D.C. to help Shinji and his mechanics team retrofit Lucy. With each retrofit, Shinji became fascinated by Lucy's old charm.   “Her aircraft body smells like the age of 1963. Through her, I can feel what the engineers in that era used to think when building the aircraft. It is quite interesting as an engineer. She is a beautifully crafted airplane.” Now, it is an age where new technology is always highlighted and appraised. However, “I feel this mission can also demonstrate the beauty of retrofitting old things. I want to prove that this old aircraft can go around the world if refurbished to the best condition.” Flying around the world is a big project. It includes over ten hours of intercontinental travel from Canada to Ireland, as well as from Japan to Seattle. There will be many risks involved. Does Shinji have any worries? “Of course, there are risks. However, since I am not visiting dangerous areas such as war zones, all risks can be under control. I can minimize risks by preparing for them,” says Shinji. During the four-year preparation period, he did all he could do to retrofit Lucy to the best possible condition. Through the connection with Adrian, who used to work as a commercial pilot, Shinji was able to conduct various flight trainings for possible accidents. His flight route was thoughtfully planned, including refueling spots and safe accommodations. Adrian gave Shinji much advice from his previously successful mission. Obtaining visas to enter different countries and understanding COVID-19 safety regulations were also part of his preparations. “So, once I leave for the mission, all I have to do is keep flying.” Message for the next generation In 2019, Shinji's father, who always encouraged him to pursue his dream, passed away. With his wife Makiko and their children. Shinji met her at work, as Makiko also used to work in the aerospace industry. “When I was so worried about financing, as I spent on Lucy as much as I would to buy a house, I earnestly told her about giving up the round-the-world mission. Makiko was mad at me and told me ‘don't give up just because of money.'” Makiko is the most understanding person of Shinji's projects. “When he was lying in the hospital bed, my father told me, “I finally understand how you felt when you were hospitalized for months after the car accident. It must have been hard for you as an 18-year-old young man. Everyone faces their own obstructions, small and large. You have overcome yours and your dreams have come true. Tell more people what you did so others can do it, too. “This was the last message from my father and it made me determined to complete the round-the-world flight mission.” “I think young people can feel hopeful by learning from a one-eyed ojisan (old man in Japanese) like me enjoying my own freedom, flying around the world, pursuing my dream,” remarks Shinji. “I indeed want to have young people especially with handicaps and disabilities to have dreams and step forward with them.” His passion and energy simply pursuing his dreams flying around-the-world on his own should surely inspire people in the current pandemic recovery period.

And here. Transcript: Shinrei Supotto: On today’s show let’s visit a few ghostly places. They’re called shinrei supotto in Japanese. Areas that are believed to be haunted or cursed or have some other paranormal activity going on. But first a warning, actually, two warnings. First Warning: Number one is from my mother-in-law. It’s a true story that she used to tell me when she was trying to stop me from doing something she thought was stupid or dangerous. It goes like this: Many years before I came to Japan there was a relative, a young man, in his twenties, who was bright and cheerful and outgoing. But he was also very curious about otherworldly things. One day he decided to go to Osorezan, a place way up north, in Aomori Prefecture. Osorezan is also known for its itako, or mediums. These elderly, blind women are thought to be able to communicate with both Shinto gods and the dead. Osorezan - the name meaning Dreadful Mountain - is also believed be one of the gateways to the hell. See, I had heard about this place, seen some cool photos and expressed great interest in going there, and that’s what spurred my mother-in-law’s warning tale. So, she says, this happy-go-lucky relative also made the trip there, alone, with the same nonchalant attitude I had. It seems he visited one of the itako, did some stuff, stayed the night at a temple, then came home. But no one knows for sure exactly what he did there, or what happened, because after he returned he was different. There was something very off about him. He was no longer the carefree, bright person he had been before. Everyone had opinions about what had happened up north. The consensus being that because he visited the area with such an irreverent attitude he attracted some spiteful spirit and it had attached itself to him. He’d seen doctors and gone through oharai, that cleansing ritual I mentioned in the last episode, but nothing helped. I personally never met this relative. My mother-in-law said they preferred to keep him at home and away from others. Now that’s a story that will put the fear of god in you. Better yet, the fear of ghosts in you. That tale along with others and her extreme caution with all mysterious phenomena have always stuck with me. Don’t go lightly into things you don’t understand. But it is near Halloween and we do need some escape from the horror that is the real world, so I do want to take you, vicariously, to a few famous and not-so-famous haunted spots near me. So go and turn off the lights, light a candle or two, and get comfy on the couch. Tonight we’re going to visit some ghosts. Intro Sakuna Ad Second Warning: Remember I said there were two warnings? That second one. I guess it’s not so much a warning but more of a suggestion, a cultural thing if you will. Which I’ll preface with the fact that every single Uncanny Japan listener I’ve ever interacted with has been beyond smart, considerate and respectful of the Japanese culture. So this isn’t about you. I just feel I need to say it. Several years ago some Youtuber barged into Japan with his lights and cameras and took his film crew into Aokigahara (青木ヶ原) , also called Jukai (樹海) or Sea of Trees; but you might have heard of its other name: The Suicide Forest. This, I-still-have-no-idea-why-he’s-famous-person indeed ran across someone who had committed suicide and for whatever reason thought it was a good idea to post the video on Youtube. Horrific, right? Deep down, even though I’ve lived here thirty plus years, I don’t feel comfortable looking up haunted areas and heading there with my camera and microphones at midnight to see what happens. It feels a little crass and disrespectful, if you know what I mean. And yeah, also, a little bit, my mother-in-law’s story and the fact that she swore up and down that I was sticky and ghosts liked hanging around me naturally, and I don’t want to test the theory that a disgruntled Japanese spirit or two might decide to follow me home and make the rest of my life a living hell. So today you and I will be visiting those shinrei supotto, ghost spots. But they’ll will be ones I’ve heard and read a lot about or I have been to myself but totally by accident. Like it’s not uncommon in Japan to visit some scenic spot and while there someone leans over and says, “Hey, see right there? That is where those two lovers held hands, leap from the cliff and plunged into the rocky sea. If you come here at night you can still hear them scream.” What? Anyway, there are so many haunted spots in Japan I almost don’t know where to begin. So in order to narrow things down, I’m going to stick to areas near me. So let’s get started at a place that I think has become quite well known of late. The one I just mentioned: 1) Aokigahara or jukai or the Suicide Forest. This is 30-square kilometers or 12-square miles of forest at the foot of Mount Fuji. It’s a very interesting forest, grown up over the lava flow from Mount Fuji’s last eruption. It’s incredibly bumpy and mossy, with ice caves and wind caves, and  some parts very dense and disorienting. There used to be a saying that once you stepped into the jukai, sea of trees, you wouldn’t make it out alive. There are a lot of myths about not being able to use a compass or electronic devices going haywire once inside. This isn’t exactly true. But there is the presence of magnetic iron in the ground which some say can mess with devices. Or, I don’t know, it could be all the ghosts. There are lots of tales of people being led off the main path by devious spirits. The forest is haunted not just by the poor souls who ended their lives there, but the jukai, sea of trees, is supposedly also a well known area for ubasute, remember when we talked about ubasute yama? Impoverished families carrying their very elderly up a mountain because they couldn’t afford to care for them anymore. Well, that was believed to happen here as well. Now I’ve been to Aokigahara numerous times without even knowing it. I live about an hour and a half from Mount Fuji and you have to drive through the Sea of Trees to get there. So for years I was passing through the forest without knowing anything about legends. I do distinctly remember, though, that the whole area felt weird, heavy and really, really quiet. I just recently learned that the porous lava rock ground absorbs sound giving it this quality. Also, I remember when we had stopped to rest and look around, the signs, usually very old and worn, that encouraged people to think again, consider the life their parents had given them, and contact a suicide prevention number at the bottom. I’ve heard people also go there to nail waraningyo to trees. Remember I talked about them in episode 52, those straw dolls used to curse your enemies. Oh, and while I never went very far into the forest, I remember seeing the colored ribbons. In order not to get lost, which is easy to do if you go off the paths, people tie ribbons or tape to something and wind their way through the trees. I watched a video with a Japanese man who often goes into the forest. He said nothing good is ever found at the end of one of those ribbons. Ghosts? 2) Baba Ana or the the Grannie or Old Auntie Cave. So we were just talking about ubasute yama, throwing away grannies on a mountain. And, well, there’s throwing away grannies in a forest, too. Next, let me introduce you to throwing away grannies in a hole in the ground. I just learned about this one, but it came up a lot when I was searching for famous spots in my prefecture. It’s a people-sized hole in a forest that is about 20 meters deep. It’s said here is where, again the elderly or infirm were thrown occasionally. Once you fall in, you can’t get out evidently. And also, that human bones have been found at the bottom of the hole. At night, if you go near it, you might see a hand reaching out. But don’t get too close, because there are stories of reckless types getting pulled into the hole never to be seen again. 3) Tunnels. About 73% of Japan is mountainous that naturally means there are a lot of tunnels. And invariably bad things happen in tunnels, collapses, fires, car crashes. Even locally it feels like so many tunnels have ghost stories attached to them. Especially the older ones that are narrow, long, and drippy and have have little or no illumination. Let’s talk about the old Amagi Tunnel in Izu. It was completed in 1905 and being built completely of stone it’s the longest remaining all-stone tunnel in Japan at 446 meters, over 13,000 feet long. It’s surrounded by a dense forest which adds to the feeling of isolation. It’s also narrow and dark and damp. There are thought to be a lot of ghosts and onryou in and around it. The Old Amagi Tunnel has a creepy atmosphere about it especially at night. And because of weird atmospheric pressure the wind blows or is sucked through the tunnel making strange noises. While deep inside the tunnel sometimes you can hear a woman singing or whispering or asking, Daijoubu? Are you okay? At the moment you can’t drive through the tunnel, but back when you could, people reported that their car engines would suddenly die in the middle of the tunnel or that upon exiting the tunnel they’d find their windows and the body of the car covered in handprints. Samurai ghosts in full armor have also been reported wandering through the tunnel. It’s thought that some samurai graves were destroyed when constructing it. And finally it’s said that there is something called hitobashira, literally person pillar. I found a lot about this and really want to read more, but for the moment, it’s the practice of when building something big like a castle, bridge, dam, or tunnel; sacrificing a person or people to the gods to prevent any accidents or natural disasters by burying them…sometimes alive. On a lighter note, it’s said that the entrance to the old Amagi Tunnel was the inspiration for the tunnel scene in Spirited Away.  Unlucky number four. Finally, let’s revisit the high courtesans of days of old we learned about in episode 61. The oiran. I’d heard this story quite a while ago, but didn’t realize how close it was to where I am. It’s near Yamanashi city. 4) Here is the sad and horrific story Oiran Buchi. The Oiran Gorge. During the Sengoku Jidai, the Warring Era, the Takeda Clan ran gold mines in the area. Because they were living so far from the city they had some oiran living there with them. However, after the battle of Nagashino, the Takeda Clan had to leave, and in order to prevent any information about the gold mines getting out, they needed to quiet workers and the 55 oiran employed there. The leaders of the clan constructed a wide platform and suspended it over a gorge. Under the pretense of having a party, they invited the oiran to join. Once the women got onto the platform the soldiers cut the ropes and the fifty-five oiran plummeted to their deaths. To this day it is considered one of the most haunted spots in Japan with many warnings not to visit there. Ever. Especially if you’re a man. And if you do happen to be there and a man, don’t step too close to the edge of the cliff. So there you have it, a very few of the shinrei spotto, ghost spots, in my area and elsewhere. My little warnings aside, the good news is, if you like these kind of spooky places, if and when you visit Japan, it’s highly likely that you’ll stumble across if not them then others. The curious thing about Japan is that you don’t even have to be looking for a spooky or jinxed area, they’re everywhere. Again, true stories. Here are a couple examples of how I unwittingly ran across haunted areas without even trying. The first was back in 1990 or 91. I was an exchange student at a university here and just happened to be standing under a tree talking with my kendo friends when suddenly they said we had better move along, it was getting dark and this is the tree where that student hung herself so many years ago something something. She doesn’t like it when people are here after dark. Or another is when we moved into a new house and I took a little stroll around the neighborhood. You’ll very often find small shrines or statues tucked away. They really are everywhere and fun to investigate. Well, I found this one about a two minute walk from  our house along this very narrow and windy road. I read the plaque as best as I could, a little shocked, I then later asked other people who had lived there for a long time. It seems the small shrine is called Kubitsuka Jinja. Let me translate. Kubi is a head, or a severed head, in this case, and tsuka is grave. The severed head, and I learned it was plural, the severed heads grave shrine. The story being, back in the day some samurai were riding through the area and for some reason or another, I could never find the reason, they took offence to something and went through and cut off a whole bunch of peoples’ heads and lined them up along the side of the road. The whole area was haunted for a long time until this shrine was erected to appease their spirits. I’m dying to find out what these poor villagers did to deserve that! Okay, that’s all for today. You can blow out those candles now. Although you might want to check for floating heads. It’s no fun tripping over one of those as you feel your way to the bedroom. Oh, one more thing, I’m working on a side project that I think some of you are really going to like. Hopefully I’ll be able to announce that by the next episode. Thank you all for listening, reviewing, and supporting the show. With a great big special thank you to my patrons, because of you I’m able to do this at all. Happy Halloween, good night, and I’ll talk to you in two weeks.

This episode we take a trip to Salem, Massachusetts and Yamanashi, Japan.

We're back! After an almost 2 month hiatus, Art School Taught Me returns with Season 2 of Conversations with Creatives here in Manila. On this episode we sit down with aspiring photographer and filmmaker, Hix. We discuss her views on film vs. digital photography, as well as her recent shift into filmmaking. Our conversation covers most aspects of production from writing to directing to producing. Aside from Pinterest, she reveals that random word generators are often sources of inspiration when it comes to conceptualizing ideas to write about, which was something that took me by surprise. Hix also talks about some of her past projects, and the importance of being sincere with your art. Vulnerability is a big aspect of her work and you can feel it when you watch her films. Towards the latter half of the episode we discuss the LGBTQ+ community here in the Philippines and what needs to happen in order to make the future a safer and more accepting place for everyone. Before wrapping up the episode, we talk briefly about Japan and how cool Daikanyama and Shimokitazawa are. As well as how sketchy Minami-Senju can sometimes be. I asked Hix about places in Japan that she finds special to which she responded with Yamanashi prefecture, her dad's province. As per usual, the environmental noise is above what it should be for a podcast. I'm a bit rusty from the season break but hopefully we can get back into the swing of things soon. Thanks for listening!

Yamanashi is Japan’s largest and most famous wine-producing region, responsible for nearly 40% of the nation’s annual production of wine. The region is located on the main island of Honshu within a landlocked area. There is an extremely fertile valley in Yamanashi as famous for its peaches and plums as its grapes. This region, surrounded by some of the tallest mountains in Japan – including the famous Mt. Fuji – is now the focal point of high-quality wine production in Japan. ***Subscribe to our Channels for more:*** ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BEVERAGETRADENETWORK ► iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bevcast/ ► Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=233919&refid=stpr

"Awakening Irrepressible Joy" was Dosho's talk for Sunday Open Zen on April 29, 2018. In the talk, Dosho sings praises for kensho - seeing-nature - as an essential element in the revitalization of Zen. The talk also includes the story of Yamanashi, a householder who realized kensho after only two nights of zazen.

En 2018, nous célébrons les 160 ans des relations diplomatiques entre la France et le Japon, ainsi que les 50 ans de la disparition de Foujita. Soit deux bonnes raisons pour nous d'aborder la cuisine d'un pays qui nous fascine : le Japanistan (aussi connu sous le nom de Japon). Dans cette émission entre tradition et modernité, on parle de riz, de sake, de vin, de Roland Barthes, de Jacques Chirac (encore), des Frères Troisgros et de mise à mort de poissons. Le vin que nous avons dégusté pendant l'émission est le Koshu Shimoiwasaki 2015 de la Diamond Winery, dans la préfecture de Yamanashi.

Day 26 - Le Japon, le pays des sensations fortes

I thought it was gonna be a pretty easygoing trip to Hakone, but as it turns out, my host family doesn't screw around when it comes to vacations. From Hakone, to Kawaguchi, to Fuji, to Yamanashi, this is a taste of the other side of Japan . . . you know, the part that hasn't been paved.

We needed to do this. Open the Voice Gate returns after a long absence to tackle a major subject: T-Hawk, the 2017 King of Gate winner and soon to be 2-time Kobe World main eventer. Needless to say, this is not a development any of us are happy with, so we get it all out there and talk about how it's also emblematic of some of the other problems we have with Dragon Gate in 2017. But it's not all negative, as we also discuss a wide range of other topics, including a long conversation about anime conventions (of all things) in the context of whether or not Mike should go to Anime Expo this year! Plus we break down the July 1st Korakuen, talk several of the other shows that have made tape (Yamanashi with Shingo's homecoming and Osaka), preview the upcoming major matches, answer a few of your questions (mostly on T-Hawk, oddly enough) and do our latest edition of the Retro Rewatch series with SUWA vs. Dragon Kid (mask vs. hair) from June 2000! If you thought we were fired up before, wait until you hear us on this one....Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/open-the-voice-gate/donations
