  • Foreign Reflections: Three stories of life in Japan
    Living in Japan isn’t easy for a lot of foreigners. But it isn’t that hard, either. For Mike Green, Anthony Palmer, and Jay Matvichuk, three people who have more in common than they realize, life here has been a mixed bag. Although they’re from different places and different backgrounds, all found their way to Japan -- for a plethora of reasons -- as missionaries.

  • Belly dancing in Japan
    Japan has been a closed society until recently. Now, Japanese are very interested in other cultures. Food, music and dance from other countries are gaining popularity fast, but nothing so fast as belly dancing.

  • Harnessing the inner Japanese activist
    Buy Nothing Day (November 25, 2006) started over 14 years ago in Vancouver, Canada but like many social memes, the power of its ideas propelled it around the world, where it eventually landed in Japan; most prominently in the form of Gabi Hadl’s Zenta Claus.

  • NOTB
    Seated on the floor in the center of my sparsely furnished room, I took a long deep drag on my cigarette. My head started to spin with an intensity and velocity that made me feel nauseous. This was not the first time I had felt this way

  • Gambatte christmas
    The middle of November, walking along the street in an urban area, the shrines on my left, the rising sun over my shoulder, Christmas trees all around me? Santa Claus in 7-11?
