Log in now to continue reading. Discriminatory acts, including anti-transgender laws and rhetoric, continue to permeate national and local elections and legislatures. While we in Hawaii are fortunate to have laws and leaders who for the most part have doubled down on efforts to preserve equality and justice, pockets of racism, homophobia and fearmongering remain in certain political sectors. This is why the Japanese American Citizens League-Honolulu Chapter (JACL) persists, and why we are committed to support voting “Yes” on the upcoming constitutional amendment on marriage. The JACL, since our inception in Hawaii more than four decades ago, has continuously spoken up, when many have remained silent, to fight for social justice. JACL Honolulu has invested in campaigns against racial fear mongering and vocally stood in solidarity with those marginalized who often have less political power and are suffering under the weight of formal and informal inequity. It is in this context that JACL Honolulu sounds the alarm and highlights with urgency the terrifying instances of explicit hateful speech and policies targeting the LGBTQ+ community. A growing number of governors have signed laws banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors despite general agreement by medical professionals regarding the medical necessity of such treatment. Under Florida’s new law, the governor has authorized a provision which could temporarily remove transgender children from their parents if they are found to be receiving gender-affirming care. The hypocrisy of the circumstances under which these governors have elected to intervene in personal, family medical decisions — when it is related to those most marginalized and stigmatized in society — reveals the law’s true purpose of injecting hate and intolerance into our democracy. Stay in touch with breaking news, as it happens, conveniently in your email inbox. It's FREE! We are thankful that most policymakers in Hawaii value diversity and take seriously their role in protecting the rights of all their constituents; we are reminded of this more so now on the eve of a pivotal general election. With this in mind, we call upon our community, allies and elected officials to condemn and call out any who would allow even so much as a single seed of injustice to be planted. Now is the time to act, in big and small ways: speaking out to correct offensive acts of discrimination; contacting policymakers to ensure they know you expect their unwavering support of equality and opposition to discrimination; volunteering and donating to nonprofits who are on the front lines of the civil rights struggle; showing up in public displays of solidarity; and voting “Yes” on the upcoming constitutional amendment on marriage. We, as a community, have an opportunity to stand up for what is fair and just and ensure that our state constitution is reflective of our aloha spirit. On Election Day, we urge you to vote “Yes” on Question No. 1 and repeal Art. 1, Sec. 23 of the Hawaii State Constitution, thereby ensuring that the right to marry is afforded to all citizens.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. By Yusuke Inoue / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writer There is an ornamental cap atop the lanterns called giboshi which is made of six sheets of washi glued together. The curved lines do not overlap and are glued only on the edges, which are only about 0.2 millimeters thick. This requires a high level of skill from the craftspeople. During the festival, there are about 30 lanterns dedicated to the local Omiya Shrine commissioned by neighborhood communities and businesses. There are lanterns of various shapes, such as Kumamoto Castle, Kinkakuji temple, an airplane and railroad cars. They look like normal miniatures at first glance but are not scaled down exactly from the real sizes. Instead, they are made with distinctive dimensions to highlight certain parts of the models. At the city’s Nakamura Seisakusho studio, craftsman Junya Nakamura was making a lantern modeled on  Tsujunkyo Bridge, a stone arch bridge completed at the end of the Edo period (1603-1867). Last year, the bridge in the prefecture’s Yamato Town became the first civil engineering structure to be designated a national treasure. Nakamura’s lantern bridge is about 120 centimeters long and 40 centimeters in width and height, but weighs less than 1 kilogram. Nakamura aspired to become a lantern craftsman after taking a workshop  in junior high school. Then after eight years of training, he went independent in 2017, making lanterns to be dedicated to shrines as well as those with special themes, such as Studio Ghibli’s “Castle in the Sky” and a pirate ship from “One Piece.” There are various theories about the origin of Yamaga lanterns, but they are said to have flourished during the Edo period when the area was a bustling Buzen Kaido road post town. Craftspeople, sponsored by wealthy Edo period businessmen, competed to show off their skills, and the craft flourished as a way to make offerings for Shinto rituals. Currently, there are seven lantern masters who carry on the craft. Since 2015, the Yamaga Lantern Promotion Association has been developing new items suited to modern lifestyles. Aroma diffusers, in which the giboshi absorbs diffuser oil, are a popular item with more than 500 units sold each year. Do-it-yourself kits also sell well and are used in workshops at elementary schools and companies. “I want to create items that excite me and the people who see them while preserving the tradition,” Nakamura said. Our weekly ePaper presents the most noteworthy recent topics in an exciting, readable fomat. © 2025 The Japan News - by The Yomiuri Shimbun 23 Mar 2025 05:00:00

joined the Hadron Group at IPNS as assistant professor We interviewed him about what sparked his interest in the world of particle physics and how he refreshes his mind when faced with challenges in his work ■What sparked your interest in particle physics When I saw the “Positron Rifle” in Neon Genesis Evangelion I was astonished by the scale of the particle accelerator I had a strong desire to someday conduct experiments using an accelerator myself I was also fascinated by “imaginary” nuclear and particle physics through many science fiction works I read Katsuhiko Sato’s “A Book to Enjoy Theory of Relativity” and “A Book to Enjoy Quantum Theory,” and I felt as if fantasy and reality were connected and my world had been greatly expanded This experience inspired me to become a physicist studying elementary particles and nuclei ■What kind of research were you involved in before coming to KEK I have been conducting research at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility continuously since I entered graduate school My research theme is “anti-K meson nuclei Normal nuclei are composed of “protons” and “neutrons,” which are Fermi particles but anti-K meson nuclei contain “anti-K mesons,” Bose particles We are investigating the properties of these strange nuclei “Do anti-K meson nuclei really exist?” and succeeded in confirming its existence experimentally Now our next goal is to explore the nature of these nuclei more deeply ■What kind of research do you hope to pursue at KEK In addition to my previous research on nuclear and hadron physics I would like to work on fundamental research to enable many experiments to be conducted at J-PARC When I conducted experiments at J-PARC as a user I did not really think about the importance of J-PARC but now I see that J-PARC itself represents a culmination of numerous research achievements I realized that physics experiments at J-PARC cannot be conducted without various fundamental research I would like to contribute to accumulating research achievements to ensure that world-leading research is conducted at J-PARC I would like to focus on the Hadron Experimental Facility extension project ■Can you share your method

forget about everything I am able to make great progress in my research IPNS The ear-splitting cry of a black-tailed gull pierces the sound of waves crashing against a breakwater frame a mysterious circular wave between them with a choppy wintry sea providing the backdrop The silhouette of a metropolis rising in the distant sky gives the impression that this is a world inhabited by humans The title for this fantastic image: “Just Getting By.” The Danna no Ma room of Shinjuan’s main hall previously contained fusuma paintings painted by Hasegawa Tōhaku a painter deeply associated with the Momoyama period of the late sixteenth century alongside such historical figures as Sen no Rikyū and the military leader Toyotomi Hideyoshi the studio that gave birth to Neon Genesis Evangelion was commissioned to create new images to appear where the Tōhaku ink-brush fusuma paintings had been previously Yamaga took up residence in Shinjuan in autumn 2017 and began the work The scene continues on the four fusuma on the north side of the room featuring a pine tree that hints at homage paid to Tōhaku While differing to some degree from the light Tōhaku touch it represents in full the technique of India-ink painting in which everything is represented solely by ink tones forcefully extending across the frame in a sinuously winding form appears to be sheltering a girl dressed in thin clothes The fusuma paining on the north side of the Danna no Ma room he said that while he might be an animator he wasn’t even all that interested in drawing he uses talented animators to make movies to keep himself employed When I heard that he was going to paint these fusuma illustrations my immediate reaction was to ask him if he knew what he was doing He offhandedly replied that he could draw if push came to shove The artist sitting before his jet fighter A metropolis can be seen high in the clouds to the rear asked Yamaga to do the fusuma paintings in an unusual manner Seeing Yamaga taking deep breaths at a collective Zen session the superior perceived extraordinary samadhi—the meditative concentration that lets a Zen practitioner enter into a religious experience—and decided on the spot to commission him This was despite the fact that the superior had never even seen an Evangelion work let alone any of Yamaga’s illustrations While this might seem a highly irresponsible decision their dialogue was probably facilitated through communication based in Zen The superior’s intuition was on the mark He persuaded someone to draw who had been resigned to not drawing for nearly 30 years While those who knew him best were concerned about Yamaga taking on the task of creating fusuma illustrations he and the temple superior gave no sign that they took any notice I had acquired a copy of Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise When I subsequently showed it to the superior The cry of this black-tailed gull seems almost audible in the presence of Yamaga’s painting Royal Space Force is an animated science-fiction film made by a group of Yamaga’s classmates from the Osaka University of Arts including such eventual industry movers and shakers as Anno Hideaki a cofounder of Gainax who would later make the Evangelion series Yamaga says that with their long theatrical runs these movies were something that shook up the anime industry showing that a bunch of young amateurs could create SF anime of truly professional caliber which was intended to be the sequel to Royal Space Force The project that would become Neon Genesis Evangelion was launched thereafter resulting in a quarter of a century passing with no further developments on Aoki Uru Yamaga says that for his fusuma illustration he has painted one scene of the worldview of Aoki Uru Yamaga having a meal at Shinjuan becoming a familiar sight to the resident students Perhaps recalling the time in his life when he dropped out of college to start a company and threw himself into making his first feature film during the six months or so that he resided at Shinjuan he has seen the colleagues he worked with on the Gainax hits striking out on their own This fusuma illustration might be the engine that fires Yamaga up There is a sense of it marking a turning point The release of Aoki Uru after over 30 years would be yet another development to shake up the anime industry This mysterious circular wave gives observers a feeling of anticipation for Aoki Uru Related > New Art in an Old Setting: The Shinjuan Painting Project at Daitokuji, Kyoto Photos of fusuma paintings by

Sunday Gifu made one change from the team which started against Fagiano Okayama the previous week with Fumitaka Kitatani replacing Henry in the centre of defence Matsumoto Yamaga were desperate for points in order keep their championship challenge on track but they were also looking to avenge their 2-0 defeat in Gifu earlier this year and they started the quicker side they attacked a lot down the left hand side with Serginho and Ishihara attacking as a pair and this meant a very busy afternoon for FC Gifu captain Masanori Abe who had to defend resolutely to keep Yamaga at bay Yamaga had more of the chances in the first half but Victor rushed out to stop the danger - and the offside flag was raised anyway Victor produced a strong hand to push Hayuma Tanaka’s header away from danger and that was closely followed by a long range Serginho shot which flew just wide FC Gifu had rarely threatened in the first half but just before half time Yuya Yamagishi’s deflected shot forced Matsumoto goalkeeper Tatsuya Morita into a fine save FC Gifu were more offensive minded and got more control of the game although it was Matsumoto who had the first chance of the half; Victor making a fine stop from Iwakami’s free kick and Ryan De Vries in the middle gave Shohei Mishima a great chance to score but the Gifu-born midfielder unfortunately couldn’t keep his shot on target Next it was De Vries’ chance after being played through but his left foot shot was saved by Morita Matsumoto had a couple of chances to score before the end of the game but Gifu held firm and claimed a deserved point After the game captain Masanori Abe told DAZN “This point away from home is a big point for us Each player put everything into this game in order to keep this clean sheet The manager told us to try and get on the front foot and to try and spend some time on the ball and get forward as much as possible we are happy to come out of here with no goals conceded we just have to look at each game individually and we’ll go out to try and take three points from all of our remaining games - our focus is on survival in J2 and hopefully we can reward them with a home win next week.” to see so many of our supporters - it looked like a home game The players deserve a lot of credit for this game and we worked a lot on defending set pieces because we knew that is a Matsumoto strong point The coaches can feel very happy about their work We wanted to build on the momentum gained from last week’s win (against Okayama) and not to go into another defeat spiral Goalkeeper Victor spoke after his first clean sheet in three months: “It was a hard game We’ve trained hard and maybe the footballing Gods haven’t been on our side all the time so maybe we were due for a bit of good fortune We have to have confidence heading into our final four games We came here (to Matsumoto) knowing they were a strong team but we came away with a point and if we can keep that momentum then we will have a good chance in our final games.” against the league leaders was a very creditable result for Gifu We hope to build on this positive result in our next game when we face JEF United Chiba at home on Sunday

eventually secure a contract with J-League club Matsumoto Yamaga Izwan Mahbud would become the first Singaporean footballer to feature in top-flight Japanese football Izwan (in green) impressed against Japan last week But the Singapore national goalkeeper knows if he succeeds he could also be paving the way for more of the Republic’s best players to ply their trade in Asia’s top leagues in what would be a huge boost for the sport’s flagging fortunes here it was reported Matsumoto Yamaga vice-president Yoshiyuki Kato had invited the 24-year-old for a trial Izwan knows a lot more is at stake than him trying to secure a deal I’m sure many people in Singapore will be hoping to see me succeed because they want to see Singaporean footballers playing in top leagues overseas,” Izwan told TODAY “We were proud to see (Singapore national team-mate) Safuwan (Baharudin) playing for Melbourne City in the (Australian) A-League and his stint inspired us to want to be like him and make it overseas.” Izwan pulled off 18 saves to secure Singapore a shock 0-0 draw against four-time Asian champions Japan — widely regarded as Asia’s best footballing nation for the past two decades — in a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Saitama last Tuesday His performance also piqued interest in Japan about him and Singapore football But while he denied the likes of AC Milan’s Keisuke Honda and Borussia Dortmund’s Shinji Kagawa who plays his club football for Singapore-based Malaysian Super League side LionsXII admits Yamaga’s offer caught him off guard “I did a short online search after the (LionsXII’s) match (against ATM on Tuesday) and found out more about the club Their climb from the lower tiers into the J-League over the past few years is impressive,” said Izwan The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) which has been working to set up playing stints and trials for top Singapore players in the J-League has not heard officially from Matsumoto Yamaga regarding the trials for Izwan But the FAS wants further discussions with the club and the association’s relevant stakeholders Fandi Ahmad and V Sundramoorthy — they played for Dutch side FC Groningen (1983 to 1985) and Swiss club FC Basel (1987 to 1988) respectively — remain arguably Singapore’s most successful footballing exports Others who have tried to secure deals outside of South-east Asia include former

— last year but are currently 15th out of 18 teams in the league standings warned Japan’s culture and language will prove huge obstacles But if Izwan can find success in the J-League he could get the chance to play in Europe,” said Korenaga “It will be better to challenge his potential That is why he needs to play in Japan to become better It is also better for the Singapore national team.” My advice for Izwan is to keep on training and playing hard.” Honours (selected): 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup champion Stadium: Matsumoto Stadium (capacity: 20,396) Todayonline.com and Today Online domains and
