Each chef and restaurant owner, tell their stories, revealing why they've landed in plant-based cooking, how they came to open their restaurant, and their approach to flavors and ingredients. Vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Tokyo, and across the rest of Japan, may first appear to be few and far between, but in fact, Japan has a long history of plant-based cuisine. Japanese traditionally eat a highly vegetable-centric diet. Organic, pesticide and fertilizer-free fruits and vegetables that are farmed with care, are at the heart of each restaurant's menus. Combined with fermented foods that have been passed down from generation to generation, make for a uniquely Japanese approach to plant-based cookery. Because Japan is a hyper-seasonal country, the earth's bounty evolves in accords to the poetry that is the traditional Japanese microseasonal calendar. Through PLANT-BASED TOKYO, Tokyoites as well as visitors, can be sure to find delicious, quality, thoughtful food, that most anyone can enjoy without hesitation or concern. A few of Rice Girl's favorite greengrocers and farmers markets are also noted, for those who are interested in cooking at home, or picking up gifts for friends. These are the top places to eat plant-based in Tokyo! PLANT-BASED TOKYO is a bilingual book. Both the English and Japanese are written by Rice Girl.

The Soka Gakkai is the most well-known and the largest of new religious movements (NRMs) in Japan. This book analyzes the Soka Gakkai’s evangelizing in the United States from a sociological perspective of religion. How did the Japanese Soka Gakkai come to be accepted by Americans and take root in American society in the United States, a country with a very different culture and religion? How did a Japanese-style organization transform itself into a culture so different from Japan’s? How were the teachings and concepts translated and localized? Why, how, and for what purpose do the members of the U.S. continue their faith? The authors’ 15 visits to the U.S., in which they participated in local events of the organization and interviewed more than 70 Soka Gakkai International members in the U.S., revealed these questions from the perspective of the sociology of religion, using life history method, conversion theory, organizational theory, and the concept of cross-cultural translation. This book is the English translation of the Japanese book “‘Itai-Doshin’ in Soka Gakkai-USA”(2018, Shinyosha Ltd.). Publisher: Osaka University Press Author: Dr. Akira KAWABATA is Professor of Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University in Japan.

It’s impossible to describe the taste of Moroccan cooking in one sentence. Just as the country’s culture has been influenced by a multitude of countries, both European and Middle-Eastern, their cooking is a complex mix of both authentic recipes born in Morocco and foreign influences. You may sometimes be surprised at the combination of ingredients, but the actual thrill of the tasting it is something I hope you can experience yourself. Spices are an important part of Moroccan cooking. Spices used in Morocco are not spicy but have a very gentle taste that is good for your skin and body. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were possible to experience both a healthy and beautiful life as a result of eating delicious dishes, which include a little bit of spice rather than relying on supplements? This book will introduce you to Moroccan recipes that are based on four different spices. Even if you have never used spices before, as long as you have these four spices, which are easily found at local supermarkets, you can cook Moroccan dishes easily. However, if you are well versed with the use of spices, you can refer to our Moroccan lessons for a more authentic taste.

At long last, this underground Japanese classic has been translated into English. A seminal work of manga from the mid-1980s, Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby is a Candide-esque tale--if you can picture Candide as a mutated sperm brought to life by radioactivity. Unremittingly explicit, this is the comics equivalent of Henry Miller at his best: direct, honest and insightful while simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. Tokyo-based Takashi Nemoto, who was born in 1958, has been called the R. Crumb of Japan: Nemoto and Crumb share a similar, surreal drawing style and pessimistic, satirical stance, for which both have faced their share of negative criticism. Due to his unapologetically squalid subject matter, Nemoto has long been a controversial figure in Japan--clashing violently with mainstream Japanese morals--and is just now receiving some critical success there. Reviewers are finally looking past his gross-out humor to find far-flung influences and connections like Mark Twain, Otto Dix and Andre Masson.

This book guides you through the journey of finding your life work, or mission-work that would bring you a deep sense of fulfillment and draw forth an imaginable power from within you. As is quoted below, this is an indispensable key for creating a new era. (Quoted from Introduction) Among the different occupations and types of activity, some are chosen by will while others are not. But the entirety of countless numbers of occupations and activities are indeed what make our society operate. Our bodies are made of 60 trillion cells, and these cells are composed of countless protein and DNA molecules. These come together in a whole to form a network inside the human body. Just like that, the various types of work carried out by individuals are certain to be joined together and resonate together like the instruments in an orchestra. They become the driving force that moves society…. What is important is that a mission-work that draws out our best is always prepared for everyone. Each person who puts everything into doing his best in their respective locations will resonate like an orchestra, one that continues to take up challenging new themes. That indeed would be the future that we should aim at.【※本作品はブラウザビューアで閲覧すると表組みのレイアウトが崩れて表示されることがあります。予めご了承下さい。】

Yoshida Shigeru is widely regarded as a pivotal figure in early postwar Japanese history―someone who guided the nation through those difficult years with a clear vision and a firm hand. Yet much of his success, this book argues, was mandated by circumstances, and he was more a practical politician than an ideologue wedded to any particular “ism”. Particularly lauded by Yoshida admirers are his adroit fending off of pressures to remilitarize, including during the Korean War years, and his accompanying focus on economic recovery as the nation struggled to get back on its feet. Yet the decision not to rearm had already been made in the postwar Constitution’s Article 9, and Yoshida was more affirming Occupation policy than breaking new ground. Indeed, his policy pronouncements in this area largely channeled MacArthur’s thinking throughout SCAP’s reign. Pushing that thought one step further, Ambassador Okazaki contends that the acceptance of Article 9 was part of a grand bargain with MacArthur: Japan would forsake rearmament and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East would not put the Emperor in the dock for war crimes. Taking issue with the conventional wisdom, Okazaki further maintains that many Occupation policies (e.g., women’s suffrage and agrarian reform) would have been adopted in the course of building upon prewar democratization initiatives even were there no Occupation. Significantly, these reforms, unlike zaibatsu dissolution and the purge, for example, were not rescinded once Japan regained its independence in 1952. Pulling together testimony from a wide variety of informed sources, this solidly argued treatise roundly rejects the Tokyo Trials, both their conduct and their verdicts, and paints a picture of Japan laboring under a capricious autocracy in the Occupation years. This is an insightful work that demands serious consideration by everyone interested in Japan past, present, and future.

Fifteen Japanese youth of 1945 share their stories and fifteen modern-day young people write letters to them in thirty pleas for peace that span seven decades. The war survivors were innocent children, students, soldiers, and nurses. They lived on mainland Japan and its islands, the South Pacific, Korea, and China―and all were forced to take on adult roles far beyond their years. This book bears witness to the countless ways war alters forever the lives of everyone involved―even survivors who live well into old age. Originally published in Japanese, 1945・2015: Reflections of Stolen Youth is now available in English thanks to the support of its readers and authors and publisher in Japan. People throughout the world are invited to join us, not in considering war, but learning from the past and thinking about how to make peace.

Do you know that 30% of primary school students and 65% of high school students have myopia in Japan? Also, do you know that progressive myopia leads to blindness? Now, children with myopia are rapidly increasing all over the world. It is at a level where you would want to declare it as pandemic. However, the real cause is unknown. Here, I present you with the breakthrough method to prevent and halt myopia which may overturn the prevailing theory that "myopia cannot be prevented." ---Expert taken from the chapter「Introduction」--- Do you sense, as I do, that myopia is increasing among children? There seems to be a general uneasiness among parents who suspect that their children in the community are increasingly nearsighted. Suddenly, it seems everybody is nearsighted. This uptick in nearsightedness is not just a localized phenomenon. In recent years, the entire world has seen a rise in myopia. The 2013 School Health Statistics Survey by MEXT (the Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology) revealed that primary school students with uncorrected visual acuity (VA) of 0.3 or less had more than tripled since 1979. Moreover, the percentage of those with unaided vision of less than 0.3 rises with age (33% in 2013); the data showed that 65% of high school students had naked-eye vision of less than 1.0. Of all the theories proposed to date, the only one bearing truth is that outdoor play helps suppress myopia. Although longer periods of outdoor activity seem preferable, researchers disagree on the required duration, suggestions range from 1 hour per day to 14 hours per week. As nobody knows why playing outdoor helps prevent myopia and its mechanism remains unknown, it is impossible to set guidelines on duration.
