Donald
Richie has
lived for 50 years in Tokyo, published over 30 books on diverse aspects
of Japanese culture, and is particularly respected for his writings
on cinema. He was interviewed for this issue by Janet Poccoroba,
with fine portrait photos by Everett Brown.
A special 20-page section centers on auteur director Miyazaki Hayao's
animated movie "Mononoke-hime" (released Fall '99
in the US as "Princess Mononoke"), with a translation of
a recent panel discussion on "Anime + Animism," between Miyazaki
Hayao, eminent Kyoto philosopher Umehara Takeshi, historian
Amino Yoshihiko, Buddhist priest Kosaka Seiryu, and cartoonist
Makino Seiji. Also included is an excerpt from a new book on
Miyazaki by anime authority Helen McCarthy; and Sato
Kenji's illuminating essay "More
Animated than Life," on why life in Japan imitates animation.
Pico Iyer meditates on a sumi-e painting by
his friend, Kyoto artist Michael Hoffman, in "Michael's Muse."
David Loy employs standard Buddhist questions regarding suffering
to explore the not-so-theoretical implications of "Buddhism and Poverty."
Matthew Marr looks into homelessness in Kobe; Bruce Caron
finds more than meets the eye in leisure resort Shima
Spain Village; Torii Yusuke revisits the early days of
jazz in Japan; Robert Brady marvels at the phenomenon of
Japanese TV "talento."
#41 also features fiction by Samantha Lierens,
reviews, letters, a tribute to Allen Ginsberg by Morgan Gibson,
and "Encounters," a new section of first-hand experiences of
our readers residing in Asia.
