Jiro Dreams of Sushi, is the most inspirational documentary of the decade. David Gelb, in the making of this documentary, originally desired to tell the story of sushi chef Nozawa. His reason for choosing Nozawa was due to his infamous skill and vast popularity in the United States. However, when David became aware of Nozawa's retirement in an article, his chance in telling a story without an ending was no longer possible. On the other hand, once Gelb met Jiro and his son he knew his goal became an opportunity. In an interview with Brandon Harris , Gelb states, "It was no longer a movie about sushi; it became a movie about family, succession and a philosophy of hard work." David's prime motivation for the documentary became the same reason millions of viewers grew to love Jiro, the sushi chef. Jiro Ono is a god among mortals in the sushi world. His small, sushi-only restaurant, Sukiyabashi Jiro, is located within a Tokyo subway station is co-managed by his son, Yoshikazu Ono. Ninety year old legend, Jiro Ono, obtained the title of the oldest Michelin three star chef in 2008 and had the honor of serving president Obama and Prime Minister Abe in 2014. In order to reach such a high level of prestige, Jiro had to work countless hours and decide at an early age that sushi was going to become his life. Jiro in the …show more content…
Each scene depicting a different piece of Jiro's artwork rolls together with the overall theme of perfection because each piece of sushi is the fruit of his hard labor he has sown so long ago. Some critics might feel his film "falls short as a satisfying exploration of craft", however his film brings out the most important part of his craft, the creator. Jiro and his apprentices are the fundamental pillar in the sushi world for they create a bar of expertise other sushi chefs have to compete with in order to even be recognized as apt
In 1954, Japan debuted the world’s first radioactive “king of all monsters”, Gojira. Gojira director, Ishiro Honda, sets the first scene with a destructive power emerging from the sea that would ignite a burning panic throughout Japan and force catastrophe in its wake—much like the atomic bomb it was birthed from. Gojira had a single purpose, to rampage across Japan and decimate everything in its path. As much as they tried to stop the monster, Japan’s defenses fell victim to Gojira’s indestructibility. As Japan’s last resort, they found hope in Dr. Serizawa’s emergence of new science and technology to dismantle Gojira. In the end, the bittersweet success of defeating Gojira with Dr. Serizawa’s Oxygen Destroyer was not dared to be forgotten or thought of lightly. Because if placed in the wrong hands, nuclear weapons testing may continue and another monster might appear again.

Jizo strived to redeem all beings, which went to hell, and prevent beings from rebirth. In many Buddha customs, everyone deserves a chance to do things right regardless of their Dharma. In Buddha traditions not one person is idled out, we are all “one” and do not exist as separate beings. Therefore, Jizo tried to guide beings onto the right path. Along with being a savior to those in hell, he protected the lost children and sheltered the vulnerable children who might be frenzied by the events of a short life and quick death.

things up; reaching greater mass. Thus, if anything spreads in social media, it’s a big news. It’s a medium where everyone is a content creator, a publisher. Social media comes first to rescue, in certain cases, before the law can do anything - or when the law has failed to anything. As much as this is true for present issues and incidents, the social media is also revealing the information about Komagata Maru journey, a historic racism incident. Some sources are showing reality of racism against the Indians in which some are writing and making their own views, some sources shows opposition and some shows favour.
The United States taxes the worldwide earnings of its legal residents. (DEFINE INVERSIONS) However, after inversions, the government cannot impose taxes on most of the non-U.S. earnings of multinational corporations. It is true that some corporate inversions take place due to legitimate, non-tax, and business-related reasons. However, almost all of the corporate inversions, through skillful tax planning (or “legal manipulation,” as I like to dub it), allow U.S. multinational companies to avoid paying significant amounts of U.S. tax—both on income they earned prior to the inversion and on that they will earn in the future.

Masooma Alsultan representing race paper 1 March 20, 2014.

Little Tokyo, which consists of approximately four acres and five large city blocks in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, is one of the most culturally rich and diverse historic districts in Los Angeles in addition to being one of three remaining Japantowns in the United States. Established in the late 19th century, Little Tokyo was once home to tens of thousands of Japanese immigrants as well as one of the largest Japanese American populations in the United States. Over the years, Little Tokyo has been faced with stratification and contradictions in the form of overt discrimination and the internment of Japanese people during WWII. These contradictions have resulted in the transformation/reinvention of Little Tokyo from a thriving Japanese immigrant community, to “Bronzeville” following the outbreak of WWII, to the important historic, cultural, and civic center that is today. Although the Japanese American Population is not as large as it once was, Little Tokyo is still the cultural heart of Los Angeles’s Japanese American population. However, due in part to the recent boom in downtown residential construction, little Tokyo is on the cusp on another transformation. Although Little Tokyo is portrayed as a cultural space for Japanese Americans in Southern California, it is developing into a leisure space . This process is being sped up by the addition of the Metro Little Tokyo/Arts District Gold Line station and by plans to add a Blue Line Station. Nevertheless, the Little Tokyo Community Council (LTCC) and the Little Tokyo Business Association (LTBA) are working to develop a vision for neighborhood sustainability that “respects and enhances the neighbo...

In “Fast Food and Intergenerational Commensality in Japan: New Styles and Old Patterns,” John W. Traphagan and L. Keith Brown employs ethnographic observation to analyze Japanese reception to the prevalence of McDonald’s in Japan, taking into account the subjects’ and informants’ ethnic backgrounds and cultural contexts. Critics maintain that the invasion of McDonald’s poses as a threat to the traditional dining patterns in Japan; however, few of them attempt to examine the underlying reasons of Japanese diners’ attraction towards McDonald’s. The authors argue that, rather than bluntly intruding the Japanese culture, McDonald’s naturally gain popularity amongst the local customers because of its exemplification of the deep-rooted Japanese values of commensality.

The term “Sandwich Generation” is what some are using to describe those people who, for one reason or another, are ‘sandwiched’ between the need to provide care not only for their own children but also for at least one aging parent. There has been much debate on what classifies someone as being included in such group, and little emphasis on the hardships that accompany the transition between child and caregiver. This paper will discuss the classification that make up the “sandwich generation’ and some of the financial and emotional stress that comes with this new responsibility.
My interest for Japan and its culture was first sparked in 2003 at the age of 8 years old. Picking up my first pair of chopsticks to eat homemade sushi was a unique experience and led to Japanese cuisine becoming my favourite. Since then I have made sushi on a regular basis and attended a sushi cooking class to further my knowledge of more technically complex dishes and the traditions that pair with them. This part of Japanese culture, alongside the fascinating contrast of ancient customs with state of the art technological advances, is what continues to fuel my interest in the country.
