Gunkanjima (or, literally, "Battleship Island")

More than 10,000 people lived on this tiny Japanese island up until the 1970s. Once home to an active coal mining facility owned by Mitsubishi Motors, Gunkanjima (or, literally, "Battleship Island") is now entirely abandoned.

Dec 5-11, 2014
Metropolis Nov 28-Dec 11, out now!


Ball-jointed Dollhouse
The world of Asian ball-jointed dolls—or ABJDs—is one of pop culture entwined with fantasy. They’re no ordinary dolls—these works of art are taking over.

The Grinberg Method
This holistic approach to reflexology relieves the body of pains—but not in the conventional way. Believing physical pains to be a manifestation of psychological and emotional issues, the Grinberg Method heals from within.

The Watanabes
Tokyo-based alt-rockers The Watanabes, comprising of brothers Duncan and Selwyn Walsh, reach new heights in their musical journey with the release of their latest EP, Draw What You Like.

"Japan-China-Korea HAPPY"


"Japan-China-Korea HAPPY" was made by Japanese university students wishing for the peace between the three countries. These three countries may have sensitive historical relations, but younger generations are willing to work on to fix and have better relations for the better future. The 'HAPPY' music video makes people smile and happy. That's why we made this video with young people from the three countries. This video was mainly filmed in Japan, but also some clips were filmed in South Korea and China. We hope that this video helps to spread smiles and encourages ever bettering futures for these three countries.

この日中韓HAPPYは、日本の女子大生によって日中韓の平和の為に作られました。
緊迫する三国間関係ですが、見た人をHAPPYに出来るこのミュージックビデオで、「
­若者世代から社会に向けて発信して行こう!」という思いで日中韓HAPPYは誕生しま­した。
撮影は日本を中心に韓国と中国で行われました。
どうかご覧になった皆さんに、日中韓の若者の「笑顔」と「三国の平和を願う思い」が届­きますように。

이 한중일 HAPPY는, 한중일의 평화를 위해 일본의 여대생이 제작했습니다.
삼국의 관계는 긴박한 상황이지만, 보는 사람으로 하여금 기분을 HAPPY하게 만들 수 있는 뮤직비디오이며,「젊은세대부터 사회를 향해 메세지를 전파하자!」 라는 마음으로 한중일HAPPY는 탄생했습니다.
촬영은 일본을 중심으로 한국과 중국의 구상으로 이루어졌습니다.
부디 감상하시는 모든 분들에게 한중일 젊은이들의 「미소」와 「삼국의 평화를 기원하는 마음」이 전해지길 바랍니다.

这部名为"日中韩HAPPY"的音乐MV是由一位日本女大学生为­了促进日中韩三国间的和平友好关系而创作的。
近来日中韩三国间的国际关系日趋紧张。以"从青年一代开始向社会发表自己的­观点"
为出发点,创作者完成了这部MV的创作。并希望能通过这简短的音乐MV让所有观看的人­能够快乐。
MV中的取景大多在日本,其中也有在韩国和中国取景的画面。
希望借由这部音乐MV能将日中韩三国的年轻一代的笑容以及祈盼三国间和平的意愿带给正­在观看这部MV的您。谢谢!

JON PETERSEN AND THE HINDU SANDWICH


Sept. 20-24: Iwaki
The gentlemen sandwiched between Akira Mori and myself and looking curiously like the Travelocity gnome, is Baba.  He is an Indian Hindu, married to a Japanese and runs a spectacular Indian restaurant in Iwaki.  Sometime back he became dangerously ill while cooking in his restaurant.  Akira and a gentleman from Switzerland were visiting and offered to pray for him.  Within moments his symptons were gone - he was totally healed.  While standing in his establishment, surrounded by the Hindu pantheon, Baba says to me, "your God healed me!"  He was so grateful to our Lord for touching his life and seemed genuinely softened by the experience.  Pray for Baba's salvation.  I hope to bring our whole team to visit him in February. 

In November, my MK friend Jim Weber and an Aquaponics expert will be visiting Iwaki to begin the process of setting up a project in the Iwaki area.  We believe we can use new forms of fish and vegetable farming to be a witness through the farm team, provide jobs and have access to a fundamental need of the community - food!  Pray for the Lord's strategies and provision to come into place for this rather creative approach to extending the Kingdom just 25 miles from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
