BEGIN Japanology - 2012/02/09 - Ikebana
Feb. 9, Thu. 0:30 - 1:00 (UTC) etc.
"Ikebana"
Ikebana: the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging. Each elegant arrangement is made with seasonal flowers and plants cut to perfection.
The idea of using flowers as decoration first came to Japan 1,500 years ago, along with Buddhism. Flower arrangements were given as offerings to the Buddha, and Buddhist priests formalized the techniques that would become known as ikebana.
In time, flower arranging became deeply rooted in Japanese life. Today, Japan has more than 2,000 schools of ikebana. Inside the home, people arrange flowers in ways that embody the changing seasons.
Ikebana has a saying: "The flowers are your soul." Like other traditional Japanese arts, ikebana attaches great importance to formal etiquette and self-reflection. But that doesn't mean modern ikebana artists aren't creating bold new arrangements.
On this edition of BEGIN Japanology, our theme is ikebana. We'll trace ikebana's history and explore the Japanese aesthetic that comes to life in this art form.

imagine-nation - 2012/02/07 - Binary Domain, Hideji Oda
Feb. 7, Tue. 23:30 - 0:00 (UTC) etc.
Main Feature: Invigorating Action Game - BINARY DOMAIN
The same Sega production team led by General Director Toshihiro Nagoshi that brought us the YAKUZA videogame will soon release a new game called BINARY DOMAIN (for PlayStation3·Xbox360). They had been producing a Yakuza title a year until now but the last 12 months have been dedicated to BINARY DOMAIN, a dramatic Sci-Fi action battle between men and robots set in the Tokyo of 2080 where life itself is the theme. Both friends and foes use top grade AI (artificial intelligence) and the story development and sheer realism of the street sets are astonishing. For Nagoshi's Ryu-ga Gotoku Studio, it is all a big leap into a whole new kind of story. Gone, for example, is the use of real corporate names. In an exclusive interview, we ask Nagoshi for the inside information on everything from why they themed this game on life to what is coming next in the Nagoshi world. BINARY DOMAIN goes on sale in Europe on February 24th and in the United States on February 28th. Our reporters, though , have had a go already! Don't miss it!
Creator's interview: Hideji Oda, Japanese Manga Artist
Hideji Oda, known for his soft touch with intricate, realistic and yet warm pictures, made his commercial debut in 1992 with A DIFFUSION DISEASE. The characters of such masterpieces as Good morning, Hideji! (Ohayo, Hideji-kun) are often modeled after real people, ranging from celebrities to his own friends and acquaintances. We enter the world of a manga artist hugely admired for his attention to detail.

Journeys in Japan - 2012/02/07 - Furano and Biei, Hokkaido
Feb. 7, Tue. 0:30 - 1:00 (UTC) etc.
"FURANO: Hokkaido"
- White Wintry World -
- Biei Town of Hills
- Beautiful dishes using ingredients harvested in Biei
- Snow Shoe Tour is an activity for enjoying the snowy nature world.
Journeys in Japan this time introduces Furano area in Hokkaido in northern Japan, covered in white snow in winter. Furano is situated right in the center of Hokkaido. As the area is located away from the coast, the air is dry. The dry and very cold weather result in the world's top-grade powder snow that falls in the area. In recent years, that snow quality is drawing attention of ski-lovers around the globe.
The traveler, who visits such place famous for its snow, is Deborah Ten from the tropical country of Malaysia.
The woman from a hot region of Asia visits a snow-covered place actually for the first time in her life, and discovers various charms of snow not limited to skiing.
Furano skiing ground
This skiing ground boasts one of the largest skiing fields in Hokkaido.
While offering the best-quality powder snow, it has good access from urban areas, and the number of tourists from many overseas countries is rapidly increasing.
Instructors especially for foreign tourists are always available at a rental shop at the foot of the skiing ground, and they offer kind help in English even for first-time skiers.
For inquiries, please access:
Sportpia
http://www.sportpia.co.jp/en/furanosnowschool.html (English site)
Biei Town of Hills
Biei Town, situated about 40 minutes by car from Furano, is an agricultural district with continuing hills.
It is a tourism spot popular among photo-takers, as wide spreading landscape offers various sceneries through the 4 seasons.
Tourism taxis are convenient for moving around in winter. They can be chartered at fixed rates for certain hours and drivers, who know the local areas well, take you to wherever you like.
For inquiries, please access:
Chuo Hire
http://www.chuo-hire.com/plan.html (in Japanese only)
Chartering taxi
6,600 yen ~ per hour (Price can be set for every 30 minutes.)
Vegetables Menu from the Land of Biei
A small restaurant is found in a corner of Biei.
It offers dishes using ingredients harvested in Biei and nearby areas throughout the year.
The theme of the dishes is "Scenery in Biei in different seasons, imaged by the chef".
You can enjoy colorful courses through the 4 seasons.
For inquiries:
Antica Osteria del Valore
http://www.biei-valore.com/home.html (in Japanese only)
Pasta course 1,100 yen ~
Chef-arranged course 3,150 yen ~ (reservation needed)
You are recommended to make contact in advance, as the restaurant has only about a dozen seats and clients with reservations are given priority.
Snow Shoe Tour
This is an activity in snow, other than skiing, for enjoying the snow.
You walk around a coniferous forest spreading half-way up Mount Tokachi, in snow more than 1-meter deep.
In the forest which appears quiet, covered in white snow, you look for signs of living creatures and feel the warmth of stoutly existing trees.
The goal of the tour is a natural hot spring gushing out along a valley.
It is an open-air hot bath loved by local people as well, and a time of extreme happiness -- of warming up while viewing snow -- is waiting for you.

Traveler: Deborah Ten
Access Map
Access:
It takes about 2 and half hours by a tour bus from Shin-chitose Airport to Furano skiing ground.
From Asahikawa Airport, there is a regular bus service and it takes about 1 hour to the skiing ground, but there is less number of flights and you would need to confirm the timetable in advance.

Forbidden Kyoto - Winter Comes to the Geisha
Still shrouded in mystery in the 21st century, not even Japanese people know all there is to know about Kyoto.
In the fourth installment of this series, our guide, who knows the city inside out, takes us on a tour of forbidden Kyoto, taking the camera into places normally off limits to the public.
This episode focuses on a spectacular theatrical event that features an impressive array of popular Kabuki actors. Called 'Kaomise', the special festive performances bring the curtain down on the year in Kyoto. The dignified wooden signboards bearing the actors' names high above the entrance of the historic theater symbolize this annual year-end attraction. Wearing gorgeous kimono and with their hair done up in the traditional style, a group of maiko apprentice geisha inside the auditorium look as stunning as the actors on stage. But behind all the distinctive details, such as the making of the signboards and the presence of the maiko in the audience, there are various little-known points of etiquette and tradition filled with profound meaning. A mixture of great excitement and splendor is evident all around the theater as the year comes to an end in the chilly ancient city. The program investigates both the inside and outside of this beautiful world through the eyes of an Am erican writer.
