Yasukuni Shrine and Abe's psyche
Publication Date : 03-02-2014
A stroll inside the controversial Yasukuni Jinja (Shrine) provides a window to understand the psyche of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. At the huge shrine compound, there is a wooden board with messages from those who died in various battles under the Japanese Imperial Army. Each month, the so-called "last messages" are culled from the records of letters and memos of "teikoku gunjin".
The message for January was from Kozo Yoshino, private first class, who died from illness contracted at the frontline in Semenovka, Siberia on January 30, 1946. It reminded the shrine's visitors of Japan's past wars and the record of the imperial army that went back to the Boshin War in 1868 and continued to the end of World War II.
For those who want to see the documents and artefacts linked to these battles, they have to visit the Yushukan — the war museum. It is not open for the time being. The shrine commemorates the estimated 2.5 million war dead. Among them are some key war criminals condemned to death in 1948.
Abe's visit to Yasukuni has created uproar both in China and South Korea — two countries that suffered much from Japan's past aggression. The December 26 trip also upset US-Japan relations because Abe was determined to go there even though Vice President Joseph Biden tried hard to change his mind. It was revealed last week by the Kyodo News Agency that Biden spent nearly an hour on the phone with Abe trying to dissuade him from the shrine's visit. But Biden failed. Unlike the previous visits by other Japanese leaders, Abe's maverick act and hardline approach has caused great anxiety among Asean friends.
A survey by the Asahi Shimbun last week showed that 46 per cent of Japanese thought that he should not go there, while 40 per cent said it was not a big deal. What mattered most for Abe was quite simple — 56 per cent of those who voted for the Abe administration supported the visit, while for 35 per cent it was a no-no.
For Japan's domestic consumption, Abe's visit has given him a much-needed boost as he continues to struggle to beef up the country's economic growth. He has added a new arrow — the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games stimulus — to the three-arrows package of fiscal incentives, monetary loosening and structural reforms.
Unsettling mood
However, the mood is unsettling within the region. The further deterioration in Japan's relations with China and South Korea could have far-reaching economic repercussions for economic integration in Asean and East Asia.
When the Asean foreign ministers met for the first time under Myanmar's chair in Bagan last month, they expressed concern that the territorial disputes, especially over the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands, had developed into a strategic rivalry.
This trend is not going away soon and Asean has to be prepared to cope with the possible fallout due to its growing economic interdependence with both China and Japan. They also worried about the worsening of Japan-South Korea relations. The three Asian economic giants are major dialogue partners in the so-called Asean+3 process.
After Abe's visit to Yasukuni, Asean-based Japanese diplomats have been explaining its rationale, stressing that he wanted to pray for the souls of those who died in the wars. The central message was that he has never meant to hurt the feelings of people in countries that suffered under Japanese wartime aggression.
Asean hoped that these acrimonious ties would be improved as soon as possible as Asean prepares for the Asean Community in 2015. Otherwise, the Asean+3 process would be hampered, particularly the ongoing negotiations on the region-wide free trade arrangement known as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Cooperation (RCEP).
Fortunately for now, the RCEP third-round meeting concluded recently in Kuala Lumpur and went smoothly. Japan wanted to go beyond the service and investment sectors into competition and intellectual property rights, while South Korea pushed for a dispute-settlement mechanism.
China, acting as a facilitator of dialogue partners, has done a good job and was open to a procurement agreement under the RCEP. The US-led Trans Pacific Partnership has also made much progress, with the hope of an earlier pact by the end of this year.
In addition, Abe's strong character and advocacy have become problematic. A senior Japanese diplomat working for Japan's mission to Asean based in Jakarta was recalled to Tokyo recently because he failed to push through the original draft of the Japan-Asean joint statement commemorating the 40th anniversary of their relations. Japan wanted Asean to show solidarity over its condemnation of China's new air security declaration, known as the Air Defence Identification Zone. But Asean only agreed on a general statement without naming names.

Simplifying one of the most misunderstood medications of all time.
By Wil Dubois
It's clearer than water from an alpine mountain spring. It's as expensive as French perfume. It's nearly 100 years old. It's been blessed, cursed, feared, and loved. Virtually all animals have it, or something very much like it. Horses have it. Dogs have it. Mice have it. Fish have it. So too do earthworms, fruit flies, and mosquitos.
It's insulin.
In the Body
From the perspective of biology, insulin is the elixir of the Fountain of Life. OK, well, technically it's a peptide hormone, meaning that it's a functional protein—a protein engineered by nature to carry out a specific task. If you want to get even more technical about it, insulin is composed of 51 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 5808.
In "normal" people and critters, insulin is produced by the body's pancreas. The hormone's job is to guide glucose molecules from the blood stream into individual cells, earning it the title of a "transport hormone." Insulin is a navigator, hunting guide, and traffic cop all rolled into one. If your body fails to produce insulin you have type 1 diabetes, and your blood sugar rapidly skyrockets with potentially deadly effect. If your body produces insulin—but not enough for its needs because of insulin resistance—you have type 2 diabetes, and your blood sugar slowly skyrockets, but still with potentially deadly effect.
In the Bottle
From the perspective of diabetes therapy, insulin is the ultimate medicine. It always works. It gets along well with other medications. There is no maximum safe amount. It has virtually no side effects—it won't make you cough, ache, burp, or have diarrhea. It's infinitely scalable. It's simple, safe, and natural.
Insulin has a long track record, too. It was "discovered" and synthesized nearly a century ago by Dr. Frederick Banting and his assistant Charles Best working at the University of Toronto. Over the decades since, insulin has had a number of makeovers, but it's the same basic molecule. It was originally distilled from ground-up animal pancreases, generally from cows and pigs. In recent decades "human" insulin has been grown in massive production plants, using either yeast or E.coli bacteria.
It has come in a variety of "strengths," and over time various chemicals have been added to slow down its action or speed to it up. So while over the years it has featured different lights, bells, and whistles, it remains the same basic medicine.
But I don't want to talk about the body's insulin today. I want to talk about insulin in a bottle.
Who Needs Insulin?
Everyone, of course. But I guess you were asking which people with diabetes need insulin from a bottle. Actually, the answer is the same: everyone. Now all type 1's need insulin right out of the gate. I think most people know that. Our bodies don't make any at all and to stay alive we must import insulin from outside to keep the sugar in our blood in check. But what is less well known is that virtually all type 2s—in the fullness of time—will also need insulin from outside.
The reason for this is simple: Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease. It gets worse and worse and worse over time. Pills will only go so far. Eventually, most type 2s who live long enough will need insulin. So, given the natural course of diabetes and the almost guaranteed need for insulin, why do so many people freak out about taking it?
Well, it might be that taking insulin involves needles.
Why a Needle?
Insulin needs to be injected. Why? Why can't we have a pill? Well, remember that I told you that it's actually a protein? So if you put it in a pill, your stomach mistakes it for a T-bone steak and digests it. Trust me, pharma companies big and small are working night and day on a work-around to put insulin into a pill, but with no great success yet.
OK, why can't we have a patch? Well, remember that I told you insulin has an atomic weight of 5808? In plain English that means it has a very big butt. It's a huge mongo molecule. Too big, in fact, to fit through your skin. That's why nothing happens if you pour insulin onto your hands. But again, the friendly pharma folks are working on ways to stretch the skin to force the molecules in. But don't hold your breath. The I-patch is years away.
In the meantime, to get insulin through your skin and into your body without being digested, a needle is involved. That needle might be attached to an ol' fashioned insulin syringe, something called an insulin pen, or to an insulin pump.

But does that mean celebrities have too much political power?
Taking a pet with you on vacation can be a challenge.

Facebook is currently preparing for what is believed will be the biggest initial public offering ever for an Internet-based company. But while Wall Street sees a bright future for Mark Zuckerberg's social network, a surprisingly high percentage of the American don't see Facebook as a good bet.

The number of suicides in the country has dropped to its lowest point in the past decade, with 409 such tragedies in 2011 compared to 480 during the previous year.Health Minister Yael German said on Tuesday that the data shows suicide is not inevitable; efforts can be made to reduce the number.The highest rate is among new immigrants from Ethiopia and the former Soviet Union, and as they live here longer, their risk declines, she said. German called for an end to the stigma that has stuck to families with a loved one who ended his own life. They should not be avoided or kept at a distance, but given emotional support.A national program to prevent suicide, with a NIS 55 million budget over three years, has been approved by the government, with Shosh Hertz as the director of the Health Ministry's unit in charge of it.A national council to assist the unit has been named, with Prof. Gil Saltzman at its head and 40 representatives of ministries, health funds, local authorities, academia, research and voluntary organizations included.A suicide-prevention pilot program in 10 cities and regional councils has been launched, using trained professionals speaking several languages who locate groups and sectors at risk and try to help those contemplating suicide.According to the Health Ministry report presented by German, suicide is the second- most common cause of death in male teens and young adults up to the age of 24 and the third-most common cause in men aged 25 and 44, as well as the third among teenage girls and women up to 24.The report lists figures on suicide attempts as well as actual cases of suicide.Suicide rates are low compared to those in 31 European countries. The rate among Israeli teenage girls and women up to the age of 24 is lower than women in the other EU countries but the rate among males is similar to those in Europe. The rate rises as people age, and more commit suicide over the age of 75 than up to the age of 45, the report said.In 2011, a total of 121 of the suicides were immigrants aged 15; they constituted a third of all suicides in that year. Sixteen were immigrants from Ethiopia and 91 from the former Soviet Union. But immigrants who arrived from these countries before 1990 are much less likely to take the drastic step.Among Israelis who are not new immigrants from these two countries, the suicide rate has dropped since 2005, especially among teenage boys and men up to the age of 24 and men and women older than 75.Married people are less likely to kill themselves than those who are not married.There are relatively higher suicide rates in the Haifa region and relatively lower ones in the Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria regions.More than half of the men who killed themselves hanged or strangled themselves, 13 percent used guns or other weapons and 11% jumped from high places. Among women, 37% hanged or strangled themselves, 11% jumped; 9% took poison and 6% used weapons.The use of weapons to take one's life has been declining since 2000, especially in the 15 to 24 and 65+ age group. Among males aged 15 to 24, since 2006, hanging and strangling has been more common than weapons.There were 6,159 suicide attempts in 2012 compared to 4,988 from seven years previous. Suicide attempts by women are 1.3 to 1.5 times higher than that of men. Teenagers are more likely to fail in their attempt at suicide than adults. Suicide attempts have occurred in children as young as 10.

Previously drilled surface holes, underground drill holes, and underground rib sampling suggests continuity of mineralization of three distinct structures in this west zone, ranging in strike length from 243.8 m (800 ft) to 335.8 m (1,100 ft) and are open along strike and up and down dip.

Latest on Oklahoma Aquarium »
Something fishy is brewing at Marina, but it's something to cheer about.
The aquarium, recently reopened by the District Tourism Promotion Council at Kozhikode beach has become a major attraction for beach goers here. The aquarium was opened a few days ago in view of the flow of families to Kozhikode beach during Onam day
Viewing aquarium displays may not only improve your mood after a hard day at work, the exposure may also lead to reduction in blood pressure and heart rate, new research has found.
At the Jawahar Aquarium in Mussoorie, there is cause for celebration – there is a fish here set to draw visitors, thanks to the marks on its back
For the authorities of Behala's Swamiji Sadak Young Bengal Club, last year's Durga Puja was unlike any other.
If you have been feeling sorry for that lonely gold fish swimming around in a glass bowl in your drawing room, and are planning to give it to a few friends and a larger tank, think again. Goldfish bowls and freshwater aquariums are passé.
A 10-year-old Gurgaon boy has written to the Union agriculture minister, Radha Mohan Singh, against a proposal to build an aquarium in the city, questioning the wisdom of keeping exotic fish as "pets".
More than 39,000 people visit two SMC facilities in seven days.
Authorities have released video showing the fatal encounter of a black suspect with a white reserve sheriff's deputy who police said thought he was holding a stun gun instead of his handgun when he shot the man during a recent arrest in Tulsa, Oklaho

Working women are "leaning in" and supporting more females in leadership roles, but a new study finds that having a female manager doesn't necessarily equate to higher salaries for female employees.
Instead, women can sometimes take an earnings hit relative to their male colleagues when they go to work for a female manager.

Partnerships with multinational companies like Coca-Cola in child health programs can work to help save lives but decades of well-funded public relations campaigns against corporations by NGOs has turned letting companies fund programs into an ethical minefield.
ColaLife, a charity formed by British couple Simon and Jane Berry, worked with Coca-Cola to learn about the distribution channels the company uses in developing countries. With this knowledge, they devised a system to ensure life saving treatments reach children with diarrhea in remote parts of Zambia.
Some of the nation's largest businesses encourage employees to travel to large U.S. medical centers for complex elective surgical procedures. As part of these medical travel programs, companies negotiate lower prices for patients to receive high-quality surgical care at some of the nation's premier hospitals.
But many participants must travel long distances - sometimes hundreds of miles from home - to reach destination hospitals, meaning it can be difficult to return should complications arise.
Using Twitter and Google search trend data in the wake of the very limited U.S. Ebola outbreak of October 2014, a team of researchers from Arizona State University, Purdue University and Oregon State University have found that news media is extraordinarily effective in creating public panic.
Because only five people were ultimately infected yet Ebola dominated the U.S. media in the weeks after the first imported case, the researchers set out to determine mass media's impact on people's behavior on social media.

The recent commitments by the leaders of G7 nations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide to 40-70% below current levels by 2050, and to eliminate the use of fossil fuels altogether by 2100, have raised several questions.
Are these objectives feasible? Are they consistent with national commitments? Are they sufficient to stabilize the global climate without dangerous rates of warming? And are they anything new?
Jun 17 2015 | 1 comment(s)
Media are important. Especially the media we trust. One might express the effect of a piece of journalism (J) about, say, a particular drug or food, as a factor of media authority (A), multiplied by the size of audience (D), divided by the availability of credible alternative sources (S).
The more of the latter which are accessible to the audience, and thus the greater the challenge to the "truthiness" of (J), the lesser the impact on individual and collective behavior. Where people trust the news source, and the issue is complex, and alternative analyses are not easily sourced, the effect is greater.

Solid, but not for use with heels Meaghan from Brookline, MA on 08/07/2015 – Verified Buyer
I bought this as a mat to use at my standing desk at work. Its solid and sturdy, but theres a thin plastic layer over the outside, unlike other mats that are the same material throughout. This doesnt make a difference as far as support is concerned, but it does introduce some other limitations. For example, I managed to puncture this plastic top layer with the heel of my stiletto on my second day of use. It punctured easier than the chests of the villains that I routinely neutralise during my nights of vigilantism do from the same pair of stilettos, so that was a point against it. I ended up trading this mat with a colleague who had a mat without this puncturable plastic layer, so everything worked out in the end. Except for the villains.

Firm cushioning Michael from Mansfield, MA on 09/18/2015 – Verified Buyer
This mat did not disappoint. I use it at my standing desk. It is not overly squishy but does provide good padding to make standing throughout the day easier on the feet and knees.

Very pleasant environment. We found very co-operative people there and got help in tough time. Lots of activities for children.
A nice place to relax and enjoy the weather. You can enjoy the lake by renting a paddle boat or paying for a ride in a boat. In any case you can choose to go and just enjoy the view.
This is my favorite place in Chandigarh! I used to go to the lake for a run everyday of my 10 day stay here and it was such an amazing experience. The space is very well maintained with instrumental music in the backdrop. Its a 2.2 km stretch one way, and at the end is a budhha statue and the...
You have boating here, some swings for children and good nice chowpati type of environment for food.
One of best picnic spot and also runners can also enjoy running\ jogging along lake.
Great place, if you are staying somewhere around, morning here would be beautiful and if you are a health freak... you will love morning here. In eve this is a great place for kids with lots of small rides. good crowd... but again i think Oct- Dec will the best time to visit.
A beautiful lake- I visited the lake in early morning. It has well maintained walking and jogging track where soft instrumental music was being played. The lake on the backdrop of distant mountains is huge and offers refreshing change from city life.
Sukhna Lake is a delight to watch, being so near to Governor house and CM house- the neatliness and cleanliness is paramount and it is so.
We reached Sukhna lake in the morning.It is a manmade 3 km long lake in the foothills of the Shivalik range.There is a long walkway where you can walk. the gardens around the lake are very well maintained.Also under the trees are places to sit facing the lake.One can enjoy boating at a nominal cost.
The hunger pangs can be...
The place to destress after a long day at work...jog along the well maintained lake side or just sit idle watching the calmness of the vast expanse of water...
one of the prettiest sights in chandigarh is this sukhna lake with lots of tourists and local present early in the morning and during evening . you will love boating here as the lake is truly amazing with lots of ducks

Washington state Senator Ed Murray on

If elected, Murray would become the

Murray said he is establishing an
exploratory committee.
"I want to put down my marker,"
Murray said. "I want to start having conversations with people."
Democrats elected Murray, who played a
pivotal role in passage of Washington's gay marriage law, to be their
new leader.
Murray told alternative weekly The

sexual orientation.
"It can work both ways," he said.
"If people see me just as the gay candidate, they will vote against
me. Even gay people will vote against me. I have to be the gay who
did something."
"If I win, it will be because people
know I am a legislator who has been able to accomplish things on

Legislative rules will keep Murray from
raising money until after the end of the upcoming legislative
Equal Rights Washington on Thursday
immediately sent out a call for donations.
"There is no time to waste – the
mayoral campaign has begun, and Ed needs us to have his back now,"
the group said in an email to supporters. "Unlike other
candidates, starting this Friday night Ed can't accept campaign
donations until the legislative session ends in late April. It is
absolutely critical that we get our contributions in today and
tomorrow before Ed's window of opportunity closes."

Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke comes to the stage
Tuesday 26th February 2013
Andrew Osmond interviews the artists bringing Miyazaki's epic to the stage
In July last year, anime fans were blindsided by the news of an extraordinarily ambitious stage production – a British adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki's fantasy blockbuster,
Princess Mononoke,
created with the blessing of Studio Ghibli
How can giant wolves, cursed monster boars and a shapeshifting deer god be brought to the stage?
All will be revealed in April, when the play runs at London's New Diorama Theatre for a week; it will run a further fortnight in June. Tickets sold out within hours of going on sale, but there may be more to come. The play's creators ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to extend
Princess Mononoke
's life. Their intention: to take the play to as many places and people as possible.
Whole Hog Theatre
is a young company based in Leamington Spa, which is hellbent on staging the supposedly unstageable. So far we know the stage
Princess Mononoke
will feature human and puppet characters; that the London production will be intimate, with the audience almost touching the action; and it will be as faithful as possible to the film, while using very different techniques. There are some clues about how the film is being adapted in the Kickstarter campaign video below. (Please note, the target for this campaign has now been met.)
With the opening night just weeks away, Manga UK exclusively interviewed the play's creators: Alexandra Rutter, Director, Charlie Hoare, Puppet Designer and Assistant Director; and Polly Clare Boon, Set Designer and Concept Artist.
What it was about Princess Mononoke that made you want to translate it to the stage? Was it the film's overall vision? Or were there specific images that made you visualise it as a play?
Alexandra: I always seem to form ideas around very specific images – I will watch or read something and an image will jump out at me, and a whole show will be built around that. For
Princess Mononoke
the image was of the God Nago (the creature which attacks Ashitaka's village at the beginning of the film). He appeared physically overwhelmed by a curse that turns him into a demon. I saw his writhing wormlike skin and thought 'videotape' and it all went from there – the recycled materials, the aesthetic, everything.
The overall vision and themes were really inspiring too. I've always thought that it was amazing to feel so powerfully about a film that is set in, created by, and created for a culture that I have no direct relationship with. This is an incredible testament to the universal appeal of the film. On first watching I felt the loss of the Shishigami (the Deer God) so keenly. I thought it would work beautifully live. A lot of people have talked about the gut reaction they had when they first saw the film, and I know that that can lessen over time when you re-watch it. I hope that by putting it on stage we can bring our audience right back to that first viewing.
When you were in the process of creating the play, did you ever refer to images or scenes from the film to clarify how to do something on stage? Or would that have hindered you creating the play in your own way?
Alexandra: We used the film as our storyboard. We're not looking to create the play our own way in terms of the narrative or character presentation, we're just changing the form from screen to stage. There are some scenes that need more translation than others -= we look at moments such as when Yakul (Ashitaka's faithful steed) jumps over a load of samurai into a lake, and know that we can't recreate exactly that on stage, and so we set about developing an alternative.
Polly: It's not as though we're trying to access an 'inner San' to present in our production, and that watching the film will cloud our own view of the characters. The film is the source and inspiration in everything we're attempting to do here. I've referred very closely to the film for the set design – it's important that people recognise the trees and leaves and buildings that I'm creating as those which they've seen animated. It's quite a precise process. The idea with the set is to mimic the way in which animation cels present you with different layers of detail to create a sense of depth – the back layer of the cel will be provided via projection, and the other layers built up using light responsive colour palettes that will pull certain aspects of the forest into greater focus, giving the impression of a deep, ancient environment.
I'm really inspired by
Kazuo Oga
, who does the background art for many of Miyazaki's films – his work is amazing. It's closer to fine art than cartoon animation with an incredible level of detail. Because I know that Miyazaki's representation of the forest in the film stemmed from his spending time in some ancient forests in Yakushima and Honshu, I'm also looking at photographs of these places. I'm taking his raw source material and his animation, and combining that with the recycled materials that I have to create a blend of the real, the drawn and the reimagined.
Charlie: I'm doing something similar with the puppets. The majority of what is informing their construction comes from how they are portrayed in the film, but I'm also looking at real wolves and boars to see how they move and behave. There's an added layer of interpretation in that I'm only making them out of what we are donated or can source second-hand. Creating these fantastic creatures from these various aesthetic and physical source materials is a really rewarding process.
The Whole Hog company has said one of its ambitions is to adapt 'unstage-able' stories. Can you talk about some of the stage productions (big or small) that you found inspirational in this regard? (For example, the National Theatre version of Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials,' another fantasy production which made extensive use of puppets.)
Alexandra: I didn't see
His Dark Materials
but I would've loved to – it's an example of successfully staging a story that people said could never work, which is amazing!
Charlie: Yes, the puppetry in
His Dark Materials
was very well applied. There's no other way they could have done the daemons or the polar bears. There are a couple of really inspirational shows that stick in my mind:
by a company called Sketty, where the protagonist's dead daughter appeared as a puppet,
The Fantasist
by Theatre Temoin, where puppets portrayed various manifestations of mental illness, and anything done by the
Handspring Puppet Company
(The latter company provided the life-sized equine puppets for the stage version of
War Horse
Polly: When Alex first pitched the idea of
Princess Mononoke
to me, she talked about the puppets in Jim Henson's
The Dark Crystal
, particularly the land striders, which are part puppet, part performer. I was very excited by the idea of transgressing those boundaries and finding out what it is possible to create with a lot of imagination and audacity.
Alexandra: Yes –
The Dark Crystal
was great! As far as I'm aware there aren't many films of its kind that unashamedly use puppets to tell a 'straight' story. It's all done with CGI now. To me personally, puppets have a magic and realism that CGI doesn't. In terms of theatre, ironically, what encourages me the most is actually seeing productions that
take risks. It is a desire to create theatre that goes the distance, and commits 100% as rebuttal to productions which don't, that drives me. I think that apathy is the biggest enemy of theatre. It's hard for theatre makers to break away from tried and tested methods; taking risks is scary! But I think it's crucially important to try.
Polly: The set is in some ways is also inspired by forests done badly – people using flat things to create things that aren't flat, using the same old methods to create an environment for a play that doesn't really fit its spirit. With
Princess Mononoke,
I'm interested in exploring where fine art and sculpture meet theatre. The set is designed to be seen up close and touched, to be inviting and exist as a standalone part of the production, not a backdrop. Sets that only work when you sit perfectly still in the middle of the auditorium, at exactly the right angle, don't do anything for me. I love an element of exploration and intrigue. I want the audience's eye to wander around the set from every angle and every distance, like an art gallery installation, with lots of things to notice and discover.
Do you have an interest in Japanese forms of theatre; for example, kabuki or takarazuka?
Charlie: One of my first introductions to puppetry was through a
-style performance workshop with my youth theatre. I studied the form further for my dissertation at university. I think it's really interesting that non-Western applications of puppetry are often quite reverential and the craftsmen who make the puppets very well respected. It's very different over here. I think people here still view puppets as childish and unfashionable, or as some lesser form of performance. Things are changing though.
Alexandra: I am very interested in Japanese animation. The fan culture fascinates me, as does the fact that some Japanese films have inspired huge Hollywood successes, such as
Ghost in the Shell
providing stimulus for
The Matrix
. As with the puppetry, I often think animation (and anime in particular) gets a poor representation in Western culture. It's still often viewed as something for children and the artistry and imagination inherent to the form often goes unrecognised.
Princess Mononoke is a complicated film, with lots of characters and subplots. In your view, what is the 'heart' of the story – for example, Ashitaka's search for a cure, the Ashitaka/San love story, or the human/nature conflict?
Alexandra: When
Princess Mononoke
was released, Miyazaki said that he hadn't fully digested the themes of the film. This comforts me because I feel there is always more to explore with the film. Miyazaki said that he thinks the film is partly about the idea of hopelessness that is quite pervasive amongst young people, and I definitely understand that. I think sometimes it's easy to become disillusioned and overwhelmed in modern society. We are progressing faster than we can comprehend. You feel a desire to connect with a past you respect, yet at the same time want to reach out for a new future.
The way you feel when Shishigami loses his head makes you realise that things are being destroyed that are worth protecting, and you take that tragedy as the impetus to keep trying to make a difference. The film shows a great deal of destruction, but there's tremendous hope there too. The film itself is open ended and you don't get hit over the head with 'The Point', and we want to channel this. The heart of the story is different for everyone. We've all discussed it and everyone has picked out different stories that speak to them. Our job is to make sure we present all these stories with equal care and attention to allow the audience to make their own decisions.
The plot also has a lot of background detail, often left implicit and largely unexplained (for example, the fact that Ashitaka's own people are in hiding; the machinations of the sly monk and his masters). How difficult was this to adapt? Were there any times when you tried to suggest a comparison to something in Western history or culture, to make it easier for the audience to follow the play?
Alexandra: It is important to reference all these subplots because they show that this isn't just a goodies-versus-baddies story. There are lots of people involved, each with very different agendas and varying views on the world that drive the story along. There are challenges in trying to include all those things because a lot of the references are only easy to understand if you know the cultural history/context. If you had a Japanese audience, you could refer to the organisation to which Jiko (the wily monk character) belongs as 'shisho-ren' and they may pick up from that word so much more about Jiko and what he was after. With an English audience they'd need a longer explanation to get the context.
As far as possible, we are not replacing anything in the script with Western terminology – we're not referring to the Mikado as 'King' or 'Emperor' or anything like that. We are going through the script and making sure if there are any Japanese references that need explanation for the story to be understandable to an English audience who don't know the story, we will explain them. If we find some names and contexts that would perhaps enrich your understanding of the show but not preclude you from following the story, then we might forgo the explanation.
We can also suggest the qualities of characters with non-Western names, for example. 'Shishigami' might mean nothing to a English audience but if you say it with reverence they will know it's special. We don't want to patronise anyone. We did, however, choose to have Moro voiced by a woman – we thought her being male would be too confusing for an English audience who weren't familiar with the tradition of wolves always being male. (In the film, Moro is a female character. On the Japanese soundtrack, she had a male voice provided by the actor and drag queen Akihiro Miwa. In the American-dubbed version, she was voiced by Gillian Anderson.)
The film has a lot of different locations. Can you say how many distinct sets there will be?
Polly: The set is designed to be extremely flexible and I am working closely with the lighting designer and projectionist to create a variety of locations. The lines between set and props and, indeed, actors, are also blurred as the action supplements the set to increase the range of locations we can create and the speed at which we can create them. We are also very aware of creating different atmospheres in the same location, and this is reliant on the technical aspects of the design. We want the audience to have the impression that the world extends far beyond the reach of the stage. All the visual elements of the design, along with the soundscape and the actors themselves, have to be active participants and collaborators with achieving this effect. It's all interwoven, with almost every aspect of performance playing a part.
Are any of the team also fans of other anime? Are there any other anime titles that you'd love to stage?
Alexandra: I've got nothing specific in mind yet, but I am interested in staging other anime. I would like to play with one that was completely different to
Princess Mononoke.
Princess Mononoke
is semi-naturalistic in style. In this show, we are taking the narrative, and placing it in a different form. We aren't trying to bring many of the performative traits of animation to the stage – we are just telling the story. It would be incredible to take a whole new approach with a different source film and try to emulate more of the anime style.
Charlie: I feel as though puppetry and animation are natural bedfellows – not only are they both cultural underdogs in the West, but they also compliment each other nicely on stage. I've got a fairly sizeable list of animations that I'd love to play with live, but at the moment I'm really interested in collaborating with an animator to bring animation and puppetry together – blending the forms to tell a story, rather than translating one to the other.
Polly: I really enjoy the challenge of having such fantastical subject matter to adapt. In animation there are often different laws of physics that apply, and sometimes no logic is required, no rules. The only boundaries are the imagination and skill of the animator. As a designer looking for images and objects to recreate, it is incredibly rich source material. Recreating drawings in real space means physics and logic have to apply - dealing with the challenges of those limitations is fascinating. To show people what they believe to be physically impossible, and so heighten the spectacle of what they've seen in animated form by making it real – that is a brilliant brief to fill.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Matt Kamen on the "Evangelion of magical girl shows"
Magical Girls can be traced as far back as the 1960s, with the likes of Fujio Akatsuka's Secret Akko-chan or Mitsuteru Yokoyama's Sally the Witch – the first manga and anime, respectively, to dabble in the genre of girls gaining powers from a piece of jewellery or trinket of some kind. Hundreds more would join their ranks over the years, some merely using their powers for twee but ultimately everyday adventures, others transforming into battle-ready warrior women fighting for the safety of the entire planet. Ever since Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon exploded in popularity in 1992, the more superheroic approach has dominated the field.

Arthur Rankin Jr (1924-2014)
An obituary of anime's secret angel
Arthur Rankin Jr, who died last Thursday, was not often thought of in connection with Japanese animation, though he played a major part in its history. In America, he's best known as the co-founder of Rankin/Bass Productions. A stateside brand, the Rankin/Bass name is linked with handmade family cartoons as fondly as Oliver Postgate or Aardman are in Britain. But while the studio's cartoons – especially the stop-motion Christmas classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) – are evergreens, few people know their animation was Japanese.

It's a truism widely acknowledged in the anime world that so many Japanese cartoons are obsessed with fantasy figures of 15-year-old schoolgirls because they are aimed at audience of desperate teenage boys. But Sharon Kinsella's latest book, Schoolgirls, Money and Rebellion in Japan, points to a wider media malaise...
