With the press conference and vernissage just hours away, workers were hurriedly making final adjustments to the Hara Museum's big new Tadanori Yokoo show when one of them turned to me and said, "You know, many curators were trying for this exhibition." At least that's what I thought she said. As Yokoo,...

Keen to breathe life into 'o-shodo' beyond Kyoto

Anyone who considers calligraphy a quietly restrained form of expression should see Michiko Isoda in action. She sits on a "zabuton" cushion, loads a brush with ink and, with a sure but delicate hand, raises it vertically above the paper on her desk. She stills her body, concentrates her breathing, then...

No one can replace this man in my life

My friend, my life, my ferret

They're furry. They're fun. They're portable. They're Japan's fastest-growing pet craze. Ten years ago they were nowhere on the pet scene; today they edge out rabbits for third place after dogs and cats.

Mirroring the fundamental life force

Light is perhaps the commonest elemental force. We take it for granted, but it is the life-giving force that makes our planet different from all the others we know. As the definition of ultimate speed, it is also one of the parameters of the universe. No wonder, then, that light has always carried strong...

Life after the Olympics

What do we do now with our evenings and weekends?

Spicing up life on the Shonan coast

This is hardly the most obvious name for an Indian restaurant.
