Overlapping themes in this issue explore American visions of Japan, and the many-faced specter of militarization. Stewart Wachs' interview with US documentarymaker Regge Life and an essay by Thomas Burns, America's "Japan," both deal with erasing stereotypical intercultural attitudes, while Ruth Ozeki turns the mirror on "exotic" beef-consuming America as presented via Japanese TV. Mark Willis and his side-kick Billy Simms seek culinary enlightenment in Kyoto. Bruce Allen makes a present-day pilgrimage to encounter a 7,000-year-old inhabitant of Yakushima, while Robert Brady encounters elderly rad in Shiga.

Contributing editors Kathy Arlyn Sokol and W. David Kubiak present a compelling indictment of fifty years of political disaster in otherwise idyllic Kashmir. How to inveigle the baleful genie of military hegemony back into safe containment? Dr Philip Grant analyzes the current Pentagon paradigm, drawing surprisingly hopeful conclusions. Dr Richard Tanter reveals the destabilizing implications of current Japanese military space projects. Unarmed, Arthur Sze visits the 1,001 thousand-armed kannons of Kyoto's Sanjusangendo Temple. Edward Grazda's photographs report the disempowerment of Afghanistan's women, victims of yet another war.
