Hi, everyone!
Plum, I am also looking for your lecture about women's domestic labor. It is really interesting for us to learn from texts through the Internet.
By the way, do you know 'Geki-shine' ? It means engeki-shinema, or a sort of mixture of a play on the stage and a cinema. I went to watch it today, in which Somegoro Ichikawa played the leading part role with a gekidan Shinkansen. It was an amazingly spectacle image, and took only 2000 yen for three hours. I was deeply impressed with his great talent as a Kabuki actor. How beautiful his fight scene was! Because of high threshold of Kabuki world, I have never been to Kabuki theater. But Geki-shine was an easy way for me, even if it would be powerless against a real one.
So, I will talk to you tomorrow, good bye!

Hi, everyone!!!
It is Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Are you having a nice day?
Thank you for your feedback about the Japanese domestic labor debate. I just want to remind you, my precious friends, that Japan is an undeveloped country in terms of feminism. One of the reasons is that the intelligential in this country are terribly lazy. They lack efforts to make the general public including the young know what they know. I think there are quite a few intelligent scholars with human mind and heart in this country. But they don’t teach what they know at university. Why? Because they believe the Japanese government and the general public including younger generations are too lazy to know what they know. It is true, I believe, but they should at least make efforts to do what they have to do.
I love Japan. This country is peaceful and quite safe because the Japanese are relatively orderly and obedient, thanks to the remains, just bits and pieces though, of our traditional Confucian thought, I suppose. But they are totally blind. They don’t want to see what is happening around the world. Why? They are not educated so as to have intelligent curiosity, first of all. Because it is much easier for the government to control the nation who do not have too much knowledge. They don’t like the intelligent, who might have some thought against them. That is what it is in Japan, and the Japanese intelligent are just compliant with the government’s unwritten policies…it is unfortunate to the nation, especially to us women.
In order to change this present condition of women in Japan, we have to be fighters…but, but, but… I am sorry I am too lazy…
I am so sorry that I made a lot of complaints, but that is what I am always thinking to myself in terms of feminism. In Western countries, women fought against society to get their rights as they have now, as we have seen in the web articles I let you know in this blog.
I think I am too invalid to fight against society nowadays. By being invalid, I mean that I am suffering from arthritis, but probably I am always looking for some reasonable excuse to get away from what I see. I am just too lazy.
Please ignore what I have said if you want. It is just my monologue.
I will talk to you again tomorrow, my precious friends. Sorry again for my soliloquy. Goodnight…
Hello, friends.
Cherry, where did you see 'Gekishine'? It's a new word to me, but I'm interested in that. Can I have have such an opportunity near here? I like to go to the theater very much as I was a Takarazuka fan in my school days. Recently I enjoyed 'Aida' by Shiki. I'd like to see Gekishine, too.
Yesterday Mr.Kawao of Takinogawa Gakuen called me and asked if my essay could be used for the movie'Fudeko sono Ai' directed by Ms.Yamada Hisako, which will be exported to America in the near future and they wanted some reference in English ,so he recommended my essay. I was very surprised to hear that and was very glad. He said that my name would be on the movie. I can't believe my ears, but it is very honorable thing. This month I will go see that movie at Will Aichi and have a chance to meet the director, Ms.Yamada Hisako. What a coincidence! I'd like to talk with her if possible.
Also Mr.Kawao said," Mr. & Mrs.Fujisawa are coming to our school before they start their translation of Ishii Ryoich Den."
Thanks to the introduction of Ishii Fudeko's name by Plum, my world as well as NWSG is becoming wider and extending more.It's really interesting and marvelous.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Cherry, I'm glad to know you are safely back from a bad road.
Teaching feminism is part of activism against male chauvinism.
Plum, I always feel that you are an
activist because you teach us feminism.
Without attending your tutorial, I would never encounter feminism or women's studies. I would never wanted to become feminist something.
I think more people including me need to learn feminism and propagate the idea to make Japan a better country.
Dear Magnolia,
Congratulations on your cinematic debut!
How wonderful!
Your efforts were rewarded.
Please tell us more details when you get.
Hello, Cherry and my dearest friends.
Cherry, have you ever been to “hanjo-tei” “繁盛亭“where rakugo is performed by ranging from younger to elder and veteran performers? “Hanjo-tei” is located next to the Tenmangu (天満宮). It will take a fifteen-minute walk from Tenmabashi station on the Keihan Line to “hanjo-tei”. Walking through the Tenma shopping Mall, known as the longest Mall in the world brings you here.
On October 8, we enjoyed rakugo at Hanjo-tei. This was the second time for us. Every time we went,the sign says "All seats sold. Thank you."
If you have any chance to go to Osaka, I recomend your visiting Hanjo-tei to listen to classic rakugo.
Tomorow I will attend a funera. My son's fiancees's grandmother passed away at the age of 92. I missed Jonathan's class. Please say hello to him.
Good-night, my friends.
