www.japansociety.org Shodō is an art form using a brush and charcoal ink on paper, wood plaques and fabric. It includes Chinese characters (kanji) and Japanese hiragana. Although it originated in the techniques used for letter writing, with its unique form of expression it has developed into an art genre. This hands-on workshop will introduce the techniques of shodō. The instructor is Ms. Masako Inkyo. Her university degree is in Japanese Calligraphy and she is a member of the three largest shodō professional associations in Japan. In all three she holds the highest rank, based on work she has submitted. She has also received many awards, including first prizes in both shodō and pen calligraphy in national competitions sponsored by the Ministry of Education. For more information, visit www.masako-inkyo.com. Classes available for all levels from beginner to advanced. Please come visit and experience the art of Shodo. Enjoy!

2007 - Writer Manabu Miyazaki has written a unique book on looking at the Japanese Yakuza (Japanese Mafia for lack of a better word) as a positive, contributing segment of Japanese Society and Culture. He breaks the Yakuza into 2 stages of transition - The Modern Yakuza is what he calls the Society-Oriented Yakuza of after World War II. These groups were created and nurtured by the larger society in general. They were a place where the weakest in society (the poor, the discriminated, etc) went for protection from poverty. He explains that they served a social welfare function - they provided food, jobs, minority rights etc to those who did not have the means or power to get them. The Present Day Yakuza is the Yakuza of now, and they are called the Profit-Oriented Yakuza. As poverty in Japan has diminished, the Yakuza began to lose their foundation of existence - to protect the weak from poverty. But they began to find that as Japan grew richer, other segments of society, namely the corporate, entertainment, and industrial segments began to need them. They became what Mr. Miyazaki calls The Lubricant that moves Society. They began to provide services that were needed by the corporate, industrial, and entertainment world - debt settling, money loaning, stock trading, etc. He wraps it up with the idea that the Yakuza are a part of Japan and will never dissappear. Instead of trying to destroy the Yakuza, we should try to coexist with them. I think this is a interesting idea ...

Kansai PJ's FLV # 119 This is a video of a dinner I had with some good friends in the summer. If you are interested in Japanese modern dinning, check it out. The restaurant specialized in a fusion of Japanese and Western nouvelle cuisine. Nouvelle cuisine is characterized by lighter, more delicate dishes and an increased emphasis on presentation (you know, fancy presentation of small amounts and over many courses). Bon appetite!
