liberty and personal dignity” with “a truly representative government committed to the advance of political morality freedom of economic enterprise and social justice” Unlike the supreme commander of the Allied powers during Japan’s postwar occupation who would quickly become the country’s most translated novelist in Europe and more recently an idol of the US far right saw only “hypocritical ‘harmony’” in which emotions were “dulled Or so he put it in “Voices of the Fallen Heroes” a spooky 1966 short story in which ghosts at a séance ventriloquise his preoccupations with national and cultural decline after Emperor Hirohito rejected his divinity The story is the centrepiece of a new collection of the same name drawn from the last decade of Mishima’s brief but brilliant career was one of modern Japan’s most important cultural figures But his life has too often been overshadowed by his death His weirdly flaccid coup attempt in 1970 that culminated in his suicide by hara-kiri (and decapitation by members of his ultra-nationalist private militia) has been romanticised by reactionary freaks for years who proselytise his ideas on neo-Nazi web forums such as Stormfront His work once even made it onto a list of “Must-Read WN [White Nationalist] Books” – a wild achievement for a clearly Asian was but one aspect of a writer of beguiling as this latest Penguin Classics selection reminds us bugged-out tale of jazz-loving bohemians on a bender in an abandoned church; 1967’s “Companions” tells the story of a father and chain-smoking son falling in with a random dude while house-hunting in London derives moments of sweaty eroticism from an account of a middle-aged man’s driving test is a haunting yokai (or supernatural folklore) narrative that begins with the granular details of a neighbourhood merchants’ meeting before taking a disorienting supernatural turn Mishima’s stylistic and thematic range is masterly and his details always evocative – he describes a woman’s nipples as “ever so faintly red as if someone had playfully coated them in rouge” Even a day spent in San Francisco’s Union Square among children chasing pigeons and people-watchers enjoying the sun elicits in the narrator of 1962’s “The Flower Hat” a suspicion that “this ‘peaceful life’ might itself amount to nothing more than a picture” The scene then becomes a vision of “utter death” a boy in a baby walker suddenly as inert as an “immaculate shard of pottery” anyone who didn’t see the world as doomed to destruction was simply blind,” he explains – a reasonable fear just 17 years after a world war and the dropping of the atom bombs but so absolute that it renders ordinary joy almost impossible If postwar abundance and stability were for phoneys and the self-deluded he longed for the restrictions of an older more rigid social morality that would give all those who accepted them a unifying purpose like members of the samurai class described in the 18th-century warriors’ handbook Hagakure would be willing to expend their lives in the glorification of energy and passion and perhaps find final fulfilment in a beautiful death Japan had been a land of living gods until Hirohito stepped down from the heavens with the Humanity Declaration of 1 January 1946 humiliatingly drafted by the Allied powers The emperor had been the embodiment of the country’s traditional culture the crushing of the chrysanthemum that followed the surrender of the sword For all his far-right provocations and calls for manly nationalism though – for all his marching up and down the streets of Tokyo with his toy militia cosplaying imperial soldiers – it was only in a kind of aesthetic hedonism that he seemed to locate any final meaning beauty is always retreating from one’s grasp,” he wrote a couple of years before his death “The only thing I consider important is what existed once or ought to have existed.” This pursuit of a paradise lost was what animated the author regardless of its futility or even whether an authentic state of being had ever been anything but a myth the spirits of kamikaze pilots who died for the then-divine emperor reproach Hirohito for defiling their sacrifice by conceding his humanity “Even if the past ages were ‘a false conception’ “why did not His Majesty… deign to guard that bitter false conception for the sake of those who had died?” that conception was something that Mishima was willing to die for he left a note in his office that read: “Human life is limited but I would like to live for ever.” Then he marched with four hunky entered the headquarters of the Eastern Command of the Japan Self-Defence Forces and failed miserably to inspire the soldiers there to launch a coup d’état to restore imperial divinity And like Richey Edwards in 1991 carving “4 real” into his arm with a razor blade to prove how committed the Manic Street Preachers were Mishima drew a Japanese sword and plunged it into his toned body “A futile death that bears neither flower nor fruit has dignity as the death of a human being,” Mishima wrote in a 1967 essay on the continued relevance of bushido He had loathed what he perceived as the “estrangement of body and spirit in modern society”; what was his suicide but a grisly he confessed that he had long “cherished a romantic impulse towards death” and felt that an aesthetically pleasing act of self-destruction required first a beautiful body: “A powerful tragic frame and sculpturesque muscles were indispensable in a romantically noble death.” All of his training with his militia his bodybuilding and his honing of muscles through martial arts were preparations for this final It was a seppuku both 4 real and in quotation marks not much younger than the cuckolding Ryosuke in the 1965 story “True Love at Dawn” That tragic hero finds eternal youth in death slain by a young man tricked into having sex with Ryosuke’s wife When the police ask the killer why he butchered them both “Because they were beautiful and real… I didn’t have a single other reason to kill them.” I have a feeling that Mishima’s ghost would admit the same thing about his own self-murder

indicted him on four counts determine criminal charges in the Japanese justice system “Due to acute alcohol intoxication accompanied by delirium he was in a severely altered state of consciousness with significant cognitive impairment and impaired judgement; he was in a state of pathological intoxication in which he was unable to properly understand the meaning and impact of his own actions,” Krieger’s defense attorney Takashi Takano said in his closing statement Monday said his brain injury and pelvic floor dysfunction led him to a “path of extreme alcohol consumption.” Doctors have “never found the source” or offered him relief “That led me to adopt a self-destructive mentality,” he told the judges instead insisting that his was “a selfish crime which took out an anger on the innocent victims.” They proposed a prison term with hard labor The prosecutor argued that Krieger’s claim of delirium and lack of memory that night contradicts the evidence “The defendant was not found to have exhibited any abnormal behavior that would suggest he was strongly influenced by any mental illness immediately before during and after the crimes,” the prosecutor said in court is attempting to avoid criminal responsibility and is likely to commit another crime He said Krieger has yet to agree with the injured parties on compensation Krieger in court said he could not pay the 22 million yen — about $153,000 — they had asked for in a separate on-going civil lawsuit but there hasn’t been any apology or remorse [from Krieger] and when I think that I could have died at the time the fear I felt then comes back to me,” she said She said she believed the incident was “an indiscriminate random attack” and that Krieger could repeat his actions if he drinks again said he was

five hours in Yokohama District Court’s Yokosuka Branch He said he remembered few significant details of the incident because he had consumed between 10 and 20 alcoholic drinks that day Krieger remembered “colliding with someone,” he told his defense attorneys He recalled that he fell over and subsequently felt like someone was grabbing him and chasing him when the defense will present a

Sushi Zushi makes for an extremely value-for-money spot that’ll easily fill you up for not very much The fact that every seat gets an unobstructed view of the chefs in action also adds to the experience at a very reasonable price point The seemingly never-ending queue — where there is value and low prices Did we also mention its unbeatable good location — it’s located on the second floor right next to the external escalator at Funan Mall From what we understand, Sushi Zushi isn’t taking reservations for now, so going early and queuing is your best bet to try this new trending spot, or just hoping till the next Japanese “It” spot springs up Check out these other Japanese spots near Sushi Zushi if the queue gets too long: Soba spot Lilyan or interesting ramen joint Mensho Tokyo at Raffles City Shopping Centre Enjoy up to 50% off when you dine with GrabFood Dine Out You can also book a ride to Sushi Zushi at Funan Sarah is constantly seeking out new coffee spots and cocktail bars around the world and should probably drink more water while at it The city itself is on guard this summer as thousands more visitors are expected now that COVID-19 restrictions have ended Zushi has one of 22 separate beaches in Kanagawa prefecture and remains a popular destination for sailors and dependents More than 250,000 people visited Zushi’s beach last year out of 2.3 million who sunned and swam on Sagami Bay beaches across Kanagawa Beach season in Kanagawa begins Friday and runs through Sept and the prefecture expects a “larger turnout” than last year according to a spokesman for the prefecture’s Community Health Division A surge in attendance bodes well for the economy but the city is increasing security measures in a manner similar to last year when Japanese police alleged U.S sailor Daniel Krieger charged into a group of people on-site interpreters during holidays and weekends security patrols and a request for the base to remind everyone to follow the rules a spokesman from the city Finance and Tourism Division told Stars and Stripes by phone Monday The same request was made to area factories Many Japanese government spokespeople are required to speak to the media on condition of anonymity "It will be the first time in four years that we will open the beaches without COVID restrictions,” he said “We will keep working hard to maintain our reputation as a safe and secure beach for families.” Kanagawa prefecture itself will not be taking any special security measures Krieger was charged with bodily injury of four people on Nov Prosecutors allege he body slammed a group of five people from behind and knocked them down on July 9 Krieger allegedly kicked a 33-year-old man in the back knocked another 33-year-old down and kicked them in the face and knocked a 58-year-old woman down The victims’ injuries included spinal sprains Yokosuka Naval Base spokesman Randall Baucom declined to identify Krieger’s rank but said in a Monday email that the sailor is awaiting a trial date No additional charges have been levied and a court date has not been set a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office said by phone Monday The Navy reminded sailors and civilians from Yokosuka to be “good ambassadors and follow the local beach guidelines,” Baucom said no consumption of alcoholic beverages and tattoos covered appropriately It's always a good idea to keep a trash bag handy as most beaches don't have trash cans,” Baucom said “An important part of our mission here in Japan is to maintain and build positive relationships so please keep this in mind and help keep the local beaches a welcoming place for everyone.” Please view the main text area of the page by skipping the main menu.

It's everything for me." Mr Park said his regular customers have rallied around Zushi Zone. "Everyone said this is not right,  there's still many customers coming to my shop, they support me and cheer me up," he said.  Local customer Kirsty told the ABC said the community had been discussing the matter on social media.  "I think we need to support local, that's what Bassendean does and to see a big franchise open and possibly take away customers from a family business, it's not something that we approve of in this community," she said.   "We've all agreed that we'll continue to buy from our family owned local sushi provider and we won't be shopping with the big chain."  In a statement, a spokesperson for Hawaiian said "Mr Park and his team at Zushi Zone have been a valued part of Hawaiian’s Bassendean, and we are grateful for the wonderful contributions they have made over the years". "We have been in consultation with Mr Park since late last year, discussing a variety of options for his business, within the centre or the wider Hawaiian portfolio.  "Commercial discussions remain confidential.  "We deeply value our relationship with the Bassendean community. Hawaiian has a steadfast commitment to the community and our retailers, and our goal is to enhance the overall experience for everyone in Bassendean. "We are still actively engaging with Mr Park." A large sushi chain moved in just five metres away from Mr Park's small sushi business, which he has run for 10 years at Bassendean Shopping Centre. (ABC Radio Perth: Kate Leaver) Published: YesterdayMon 5 May 2025 at 12:30am Download the ABC listen app to text and call your favourite live radio Japan – Japanese prosecutors on Tuesday indicted a U.S sailor accused of injuring several people by charging into them at a popular beach near the homeport of the U.S was charged with bodily injury of four people a spokesman for the Yokohama District Public Prosecutor’s Office in Yokosuka city told Stars and Stripes by phone Thursday The spokesman provided the sailor’s name in Japanese but declined to specify his assigned unit and rank Japanese government spokespeople are customarily required to speak to the media on condition of anonymity 25 confirmed the sailor is stationed there but declined comment Thursday on the indictment The charges stem from a July 9 incident in Zushi in which Krieger allegedly slammed physically into a group of five people from behind and knocked them down The indictment alleges Krieger then kicked a 33-year-old person in the back spraining their cervical and lumbar vertebrae 24 identified the 33-year-old as a man from Tokyo The sailor also allegedly slammed into another 33-year-old Those people were not identified by gender by the police or prosecutors Krieger then allegedly kicked the second 33-year-old in the face The 25-year-old suffered an abrasion to their right hand Prosecutors said Krieger also allegedly knocked down a 58-year-old whom police identified as a woman a broken nasal bone and other facial injuries 21 recommended charging Krieger with bodily injury of five individuals The Zushi Municipal Assembly passed a unanimous resolution Sept compensate the injured and increase oversight of service members at Zushi Beach “The incident is a serious criminal act that Zushi city has not experienced in recent years,” the resolution said “It is absolutely unacceptable that it caused fear and anxiety;

After seeing the statue, people from a village in East China’s Fujian province recognized it as Zhanggong Zushi, or Zhanggong Patriarch, a 1,000-year-old Buddhist statue stolen from Puzhao Temple in Yangchun village in 1995. Budapest-based translator and journalist Li Zhen responded soon after learning about the villagers’ call for help. When he requested an interview from the museum and went to take photos of the statue, the statue’s then–owner, Dutch architect and collector Oscar van Overeem, withdrew it from exhibition. Medical examinations and archeological assessments were conducted in 2013 by the collector to show the statue contains the mummified remains of a famous monk dating back to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). Li, along with other members of the Federation of Chinese Social Organizations in Hungary, played an active part in helping retrieve the statue, communicating with China’s National Cultural Heritage Administration, the Dutch authorities and the collector. Xu Huajie, a Beijing-based lawyer who acted as lead counsel in the case, went with her team to the Fujian village several times to collect evidence, consulted Chinese and Dutch laws and international conventions on cultural heritage and held negotiations with the collector, which eventually broke down. In December 2015, the Yangchun and Dongpu village committees, as co-owners of the relic, filed a suit against van Overeem in Fujian’s Sanming city and another in Amsterdam in May 2016. It wasn’t until December 2018 that the district court of Amsterdam responded, dismissing the lawsuit and ruling the two village committees did not qualify as a litigant. In 2020, the Sanming Intermediate People’s Court in Fujian province demanded van Overeem, who said he bought the statue in 1996 but failed to provide a receipt, return it. Van Overeem lodged an appeal to the Fujian Provincial High People’s court, which in July 2022 ruled the statue was stolen and is an illegally exported cultural relic, upholding the original ruling of the lower court. The high court added the statue embodies the traditional customs of southern Fujian and has a special meaning for the villagers, and therefore should be returned.

Now, I wouldn’t call myself an extreme sushi aficionado, but I believe that if you’re not going to eat quality fish, you might as well not eat seafood at all. I had heard great things about Zushi Puzzle from real sushi Nazis, so I was game to make the long, hilly trek out to Lombard Street. While we failed at getting the best seats in the house, we still got a good taste of what Zushi Puzzle had to offer. We ordered a variety: nigiri, chirashi, sashimi, rolls (yes, obviously, we are not sushi purists), wakame and tako su (seaweed and octopus salad, respectively), and… wait for it… live uni (sea urchin gonads). More about that later. For now, here are some photos of what we ate: We left Zushi Puzzle full and satisfied. Next time I come back, I’ll definitely sit at the bar, but I can assure you that in any seat in the house, you’re served fresh and pretty amazing sushi. As for the name Zushi Puzzle — I am still puzzled. I know that sushi (nigiri-style) is called Edomae nigirizushi in Japan, but I’m not sure what the “puzzle” part is about.

project can be streamed here This article originally referred to “In Plain Sight” and “Moments” as Panda Bear songs rather than Blunt songs featuring Panda Bear The most important stories and least important memes Many of you are already looking into which ski slopes you’re headed for this winter If you’d rather be on the beach than a snow-capped mountain there’s a glamping facility that was recently opened next to Kanagawa’s Zushi Beach that you can head to instead.  Overlooking the Shonan sea, Space Key Point's Riviera Zushi Marina is just over an hour from Tokyo by train so it’s a relatively private space that makes it easy to feel like you’re much farther from Tokyo than you actually are so you won’t be at a loss if you want to bring your pet along for the weekend There’s a big pool in the middle of the site but when it’s too cold for swimming you can take a hot bath in your bathing suit on your terrace as you watch the sunset over the sea Even the facility’s sauna has a big window to give you a panoramic view of the ocean so you’ll be able to spend every moment gazing out at the line where the sky meets the sea.  you can use the barbecue on your cabin's terrace to grill a feast of steaks and fresh seafood You'll also get side dishes like whitebait and vegetable-topped pizza Breakfast is an assortment of toasted sandwiches The three standard cabins can fit up to two people each while the Deluxe Space cabin has a capacity of five people Accommodation packages start from ¥20,900 per person per night You can book your stay online here Ginza Lion Building is the oldest beer hall in Japan – and it's now heritage listed 10 Tokyo pizzerias ranked in Asia-Pacific's 50 Top Pizza list for 2023 Two of Tokyo’s most scenic sky-high outdoor terraces are now open Universal Studios Japan is closing its long-running Spider-Man ride Japan Rail Pass prices to increase by more than 65 percent Want to be the first to know what’s cool in Tokyo? Sign up to our newsletter for the latest updates from Tokyo and Japan.
