For Valentine's Day (and every other), give yourself the gift of becoming your own best friend.
Every Valentine's Day my mother brought home two heart-shaped miniatures cakes — one for my brother, one for me. I remember the thick white frosting, hardened like a perfect shell over the moist cake, and the simple red lettering that said "I love you."
After my mother died, I spent several years spinning my wheels, trying to replace her love, until I realized: I couldn't. Instead I had to learn this very potent thing called self-love, which can also be a gateway to experiencing other types of love.
For Robert London, a psychiatrist based in New York City, who writes frequently for Psychology Today, self-love is simply "feeling comfortable in your own skin." He distinguishes this from narcissism, which he defines as "self-love at the exclusion of everyone else around you."
Gainesville-based therapist Elizabeth Gottlieb Gattone adds, "Self-love is not just about self-respect and self-care, but it's also about believing in yourself and feeling like you can do it."
To feel this way, it's helpful to focus on things that you're good at and that drive you, as in your professional life, but even in the small stuff that we often overlook, this can be true. "If you want to be a good driver, stop at red lights. It's doing what's right," London says. "I'm talking about you feeling good about yourself by doing things that reinforce that you are doing the right thing."
As therapists, both London and Gottlieb Gattone help people resurrect a sense of self-love that may have been beaten down during childhood or later on. Gottlieb Gattone calls the process "re-parenting yourself; becoming your own best friend; or your awesome twin sister. Think of yourself in the third person," she says, adding that we often say things to ourselves that we would never think to say to another person. "At best, start being the one who protects yourself and admires yourself."
She works with people on understanding where negative self-talk comes from originally — whether it was in the family or at school — and trying to understand the context for those feelings.
London uses cognitive behavioral therapy to get people to link feeling good about themselves to positive behaviors or giving up harmful ones like smoking cigarettes or overeating.
The benefits of self-love are first and foremost to yourself: Liking yourself ensures a better life. But it will also improve your relationships with others. "If you like and love yourself, you're a much better benefit to others," he says. "You're not blinded by your own difficulties and prejudices."
People without a lot of self-love can be defensive and controlling — and needy in intimate relationships, Gottlieb Gattone adds. "Relationships are pretty rocky if you don't have that sense of security and comfort in your own skin. You end up demanding that the other person helps you fill that hole."
The balance will likely be thrown off because you are taking a lot more than you can give, London adds.
Instead, loving couples in which both partners also love themselves express a certain comfortable reciprocity with each other. "Time and again, you see married couples refer to their partner as their best friend. They possess a tremendous amount of understanding for the other person," London says.
Finding the right partner in life might even be viewed as one of the rewards for self-love, but finding the right partner in life can is also part luck. "So much of what we do is not under our control," London says. "But when it comes to liking yourself and getting some benefit from that, it's very doable."

When homes hurt
27 February 2015
by Ciaran Osborne
Today we've published new research into what happens when disabled people are forced to live in homes that don't meet their needs.
In many ways, it confirms what we already know: the lack of disabled-friendly homes hurts. It hurts disabled people, and it hurts the NHS and local councils too.
Since we launched our Home Truths campaign last year, hundreds of disabled people have come forward to tell us what living in an unsuitable home means for them.
- Sue has had more than 45 transfer falls over the last two years, because she simply cannot move around her home safely.
- Stacie, who has leukaemia, is left exhausted and at risk of injury every day because she has to carry her disabled daughter, May who is 5, up two flights of stairs to get her into bed.
- Sally's mental health is suffering because she is trapped living in one room, with a leaky toilet, because she cannot get around her own home. Read her story in the report.
And these individual stories add up.
According to our poll, GPs across the UK spend the equivalent of 15,000 hours every month dealing with problems caused by inaccessible homes.
That's 75,000 appointments, or more than six years of doctors' time, every single month.
Even worse, we estimate that inaccessible homes will cost the NHS £300m this year alone, and they will cost local councils an extra £150m in care costs.
That's £450m that could be spent on adaptations so people like Sue can live safely, or on new disabled-friendly homes so that people like Stacie can concentrate on beating cancer, not worrying whether she and May will fall on the stairs.
This scandal needs to end now — for the sake of disabled people everywhere, for the sake of everyone who receives care from their council, and for the sake of the cash-strapped NHS.
All political parties must commit now to building all new homes to Lifetime Homes standards, and 10% to fully wheelchair accessible standards. Otherwise the human and monetary cost of this crisis will continue to rise.
Ciaran Osborne is Leonard Cheshire Disability's policy and research manager. You can take action by signing Sue's petition now.

I am just back from a week in Kyoto, Japan. I went there to begin the process of producing an exhibition for The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto in 2010. While there I visited OMRON, who will be providing sensing and control technologies for the project. I also met with faculty from Kyoto City University of Arts.
I met many people and saw some amazing things, but I think this roller coaster (below) in Osaka was one of the most striking things I saw.

Examples of Recent Fraud
We have been made aware of a recent phishing scam. It appears to be an email sent from First National Bank of Giddings with the subject line "Important message from First National Bank of Giddings" or "You have one new message from First National Bank of Giddings". The emails contain a link to login at First National Bank of Giddings and access your MAIL section. This email is NOT from First National Bank of Giddings. Please do not click on the hyperlink. If you click the hyperlink, you are taken to a fraudulent website that does not belong to First National Bank of Giddings. It appears legitimate and includes First National Bank's logos. However, the website's purpose is to steal your information. If you receive these emails, we recommend that you delete them immediately.
If you have entered personal information after clicking on a link or if you suspect fraud, contact First National Bank of Giddings at 979-542-1200.
Suspicious Telephone Calls
An unknown person or persons have been calling individuals claiming to represent the FDIC, regarding the collection of an outstanding debt.
To date, the callers have alleged that the call recipient is delinquent in payment of a loan that was applied for over the Internet or made through a payday lender. The loan may or may not actually exist. The caller attempts to authenticate the claim by providing sensitive personal information, such as name, Social Security number, and date of birth, supposedly taken from the loan application. The recipient is then strongly urged to make a payment over the phone to "avoid a lawsuit and possible arrest." In some instances, the caller is said to sound aggressive and threatening.
These suspicious telephone calls are fraudulent. Anyone who receives a call should consider them as an attempt to steal money or collect personal identifying information. You should NEVER provide information via an unsolicited telephone call that would ask for sensitive information.
If a caller demonstrates that he or she has the recipient's sensitive personal information, such as Social Security number, date of birth, and bank account numbers, the recipient may be the victim of identity theft and should review his or her credit reports for signs of possible fraud. You might consider placing a Fraud Alert on your credit report. This can be done by contacting one of the three consumer reporting companies listed below. Only one of the three companies needs to be contacted. That company is required to contact the other two, which will place an alert on their versions of the report.

Before Thanksgiving, I wrote a post giving you a glimpse into the lives of Instructors. This week I am shifting gears to focus on Administrators.
Many roles fall under the "Administrator" umbrella. From quarterbacking the daily operations of a skilled nursing facility to managing budgets and reports, working with residents and their family members, and reacting to staff shortages, this job comes with a lot of responsibility. A couple of these are highlighted below.
Resident Care
I asked several Administrators what motivated them; most answered with "providing quality care for the residents in my facility." Many Administrators come from nursing or clinical backgrounds and have been in long-term care for most of their careers. They truly care about making a difference in the lives of the residents and patients with whom they work. Making a difference requires daily participation in resident care plan reviews and adjustments, as well as having tough, emotional conversations with resident family members. Many Administrators estimated they spent close to half of their day working with residents, front-line caregivers, and family members.
Outside of direct resident care, Administrators spend time ensuring their front-line caregivers are providing the quality of care needed by their residents. Many new front-line caregivers, mostly CNAs, do not start their jobs prepared for the emotional aspects of a job in skilled nursing. They often look to their mentors and management for guidance when navigating the death of a resident or a tough interaction with a resident's family member. Most of the Administrators I spoke with felt providing guidance to new employees was a given, but thought training and preparation for the job could be improved to help them hit the ground running and minimize the emotional impact that many new caregivers feel.
Staffing Management
Every Administrator knows, all too well, the direct connection between resident care and staffing. Administrators must align staffing decisions with daily resident changes to ensure the best care outcomes. Many of today's Administrators are starting to think about their future staffing needs, but don't have the insight or data they need to start making staff capacity decisions. While they may know their turnover numbers, they may not know how to combat them, what the most effective methods for retention and recruitment are, or how to compete against the facility 5 miles down the road. The thought of doing the same reactive staffing keeps them up at night; they know they need a different approach — one that allows them to control their own destiny, proactively combat shortages, and provide the best care.
A couple of weeks ago our team traveled to Music City (Nashville, TN) for a meeting with our National Advisory Board. While we were there, we wrote and recorded "Administrator Blues," a fun, but honest look at the staffing hurdles facing Administrators today. Take a listen!

Berkeley, California (EastBayDaily) — The amount of organic cotton produced globally increased 53 percent from 2005/06 to 2006/07, according to a new report from Berkeley, CA-based Organic Exchange. According to the Organic Exchange Organic Farm and Fiber Report 2007, 57,931 metric tons (MT), or 265,517 bales, were produced in 24 countries on all arable continents. Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers.
The top ten organic cotton producing countries were (in order by rank): Turkey, India, China, Syria, Peru, the United States, Uganda, Tanzania, Israel, and Pakistan. Nearly half (44.9%) of the organic cotton was grown in the Middle East (Turkey, Syria and Israel), while approximately one-third (32.9%) of organic cotton was grown in Southeast Asia (India and Pakistan).
"The increase in organic cotton production around the world is a direct result of the apparel, home product and personal care industry's interest in providing products grown in the most sustainable manner possible," said LaRhea Pepper, Organic Exchange executive director. "Organic Exchange believes that demand for organic cotton fiber will remain high which means more and more farmers can convert to organic production to help manufacturers meet the demand," Pepper continued.
Organic cotton production will likely increase from 25 to 55 percent in 2007/08.
Given the popularity of organic cotton use in consumer products, ending stocks of organic cotton are estimated to be only approximately 9,046 MT or 41,461 bales. Ending stocks will likely remain at or lower than current levels in all three scenarios given the tight market.
To enable an increase in organic cotton production, Organic Exchange recommends: increased research into pest (including weeds) management, soil fertility and defoliation practices that comply with organic standards; solid commitments, including forward contracts and partnerships; and additional amounts and types of technical, financial and business development assistance available to organic farming projects, particularly those in the developing world and those in the process of transitioning to full organic status.
According to the Organic Exchange Spring 2006 Global Organic Cotton Market Report, global organic cotton product sales increased an estimated 35 percent annually, from $245 million in 2001 to $583 million in 2005 and are projected to skyrocket to $2.6 billion by the end of 2008. The top 5 users of organic cotton in 2005 were: Nike (Oregon), Coop Switzerland, Patagonia (California), Otto (Germany), and Sam's Club/Wal-mart (Arkansas). Organic Exchange will be releasing an updated market analysis in October, 2007.
The Organic Exchange report includes data on organic cotton production from 2001-2006, including data from 2005-06 which was updated since first released last year. The data was collected through July 2007 from organic cotton farming project and other industry sources (certifiers, promotion bodies, academics, companies, government officials, and individual experts). The report was made possible with the support of ICCO, a Netherlands-based inter-religion organization for co-development, the Martin-Fabert Foundation, and Organic Exchange member sponsors. Copies of the report are $250.
Organic Exchange invites reporters to join attendees from throughout the organic cotton supply chain to attend its 5th Annual Conference and Marketplace October 31-November 2, 2007 in Monterey, CA. The conference is made possible with generous support from the following hosts and sponsors: Authentic Lifestyle Products, Central Textiles (HK) Ltd., Clif Bar, Control Union, Egedeniz, Eileen Fisher, Esquel, ICCO, Martin-Fabert Foundation, Nike, Nordstrom, Organic Essentials, Orta Anadolu, Patagonia, Paul Reinhart Inc., Pratibha Syntex Ltd., PT Indorama, Quick Feat International, Rabobank, Remei/bioRe Platform, Sanko Textile, Shanghai Flying Dragon, Shell Foundation, Tevis, Texas Organic Cotton Market Cooperative, Tex-Ray, Thai Alliance Textile and Z-Ply.

With automobiles becoming so costly and the economy in a slump it is important to preserve the car's we currently personal hunting and running wonderful! To turn into a shop supervisor, an experienced automotive body repairer should demonstrate the capacity to supervise other people. Since the damage had already been accomplished, I had no remorse but to try to repair the disc. I wouldn't advocate attempting to fix this oneself, unless you have knowledge with body prep and paint perform. The flat price system is fair if you have the propper tools and understanding to do the repair. The cleaning is much less complicated to perform with the physique removed from the manifold the gasket will need to be replaced but are only a handful of dollars.
I have to also add that orange peel is certainly a sign of poor application of the clear coat, by a poorly trained body man. It's also a excellent notion to check with neighbors, pals or family members about their experiences, if any, with neighborhood auto collision repair shops. Basically get in touch with us, or drop by any of our nine Mackin's Auto Physique places to get a Free of charge Estimate.
Very same day, on-web site service: dent repair , scratch repair, collision repair , auto paint repair , bumper repair, fenders and doors for consumers and business in the Higher Eastside and Seattle area, Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kent, Renton, Woodinville, Lynnwood, Kirkland, Bothell and neighboring cities and communities. I've removed a number of dents with pretty easy tools, but it all actually depends on exactly where the dent is and how extreme it is. Some dents are really a lot easier than other individuals to repair. It is no longer required to leave your car at the body shop for a handful of days just for minor repairs.
Nicely, fortunate for you, I am going to show you how to do this DIY windshield repair at residence, for less than $15 dollars! In the occasion that repairs are far more than the deductible, mobile auto body shops do function with your insurance business. Portions of the physique panels that are really damaged will be extracted by body repairers with a pneumatic metal-cutting gun and then new sections must be welded in to replace the old section. So, if your bumper is currently broken you run the risk of incurring much more harm if involved in any kind of accident which will price you considerably far more than bumper repair. Dent removal tools are typically nothing a lot more than powerful suction cups that will permit you to give a huge pull to a tiny location. If paint work is involved, ask how several coats of paint and clear coat the shop intends to use.
If your budget for the automobile physique repair is low, just ask for the repairs that are completely necessary. Students may possibly enroll in the Automotive Physique Repair program to get a credit diploma or an associate of applied science. This system is certified by the National Institute for Automotive Solutions Excellence in the places of painting and refinishing, nonstructural evaluation and damage repair, and structural evaluation and damage repair. With so a lot of different auto body repairs that can be completed there is no cause to just give up on it and get a new automobile. You may not now it but when you signed your auto policy you agreed to have the cheapest glass installed.

8 "Experimental" Restaurants in New York.
Chef's Table At Brooklyn Fare in Hell's Kitchen serves a tasting menu that's unlike anything else you'll eat in NYC.
Blanca is a 12-seat tasting-menu restaurant hidden in a room behind Roberta's. And it's incredible.
For a place where dinner costs $255, Momofuku Ko is surprisingly relaxed. The tasting menu changes often, but expect excellent food.
This place is so real, it's not even real. Or is it?
Oxalis serves an excellent $70 tasting menu in a casual space in Prospect Heights.
Red Paper Clip serves a very good six-course tasting menu for $95 in a bare West Village space.
The Aviary NYC is an overpriced cocktail bar in the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Midtown.
Honey Badger is a tiny, experimental restaurant in Prospect Lefferts Garden that serves things like ostrich tartare in an ostrich shell.

Help supportOshoViha.org
The ultimate guide to relating in the 21st century, this book is for those who are looking for something more real than the traditional, "till death do us part" platitudes. Always mindful of the anti-sex, anti-life teachings of religions and educational institutions, the book responds to dozens of gritty, essential questions about a wide range of relationship issues. Where does jealousy come from, and how can we free ourselves from it? Is it really possible to be in a relationship and still have a life outside of the "we" identity? What are the real differences between men and women and how they view relationships, versus the differences that we've just been conditioned to have? What are the alternatives to the confinements of marriage and family on the one hand, and the empty superficiality of casual sex on the other? All this and much more, in this important volume, now available in paperback. softcover

Wales has its first ever Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion
News • Jun 07, 2018 22:43 BST
An athlete from Swansea has become the first ever Welsh competitor to win a world championship in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).
Ffion Eira Davies, who trains at CF24 Jiu Jitsu in Cardiff, flew out to Long Beach, California last weekend to compete in the World IBJJF Jiu Jitsu Championship.The event is the largest and most prestigious BJJ competition in the world, attracting nearly 4,000 competitors from around the globe. It was held from 31 May to 3 June, 2018.
Ffion battled through four tough fights, winning three by submission and one by points to reach the finals.
Ffion was one of a handful of women who between them brought home a total of six medals to the UK, including three golds! The other gold medals came from Margot Cicarelli-Tang at Purple Belt and relative newcomer Agnes Wrodarczyk at White Belt. Laura Barker won silver at Brown Belt and Vanessa English and Samantha Cook won the UK's first ever medals at Black Belt with a bronze each.
Although relatively new to the UK, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the fastest growing sports with over 20,000 people (adults and juniors) regularly training in gyms across the country. It is a combat sport that focuses on grappling on the ground. It is suitable for all ages, both male and female. The governing body is the UKBJJA (http://www.ukbjja.org), which offers insurance, a club directory and a national ranking system for both adult and junior athletes. A key aim is to increase participation from female athletes, through an initiative called Unstoppable Girl and community and schools outreach programmes.
A full list of results, as well as video of the gold medal matches, can be found at the following link: https://www.flograppling.com/results/6207361-2018-world-ibjjf-jiu-jitsu-championship/24562
About the UKBJJA:
The UKBJJA (www.ukbjja.org) is a not-for profit organisation which aims to provide a governance structure for the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, that promotes and develops the sport while allowing individual clubs and practitioners the space and freedom to practice the martial art in the way they enjoy. The UKBJJA is currently under assessment to be recognised by Sport England as the governing body for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the UK.
The UKBJJA was formed in 2013, and the association's goal is to foster the development of BJJ at elite, community and grassroots levels, raising the profile of the sport but also providing pathways for development and involvement across communities in the UK.

The very same treatment that thwarts breast cancer has a dark side -- it can fuel the spread of the disease to the lungs.
The front-line chemotherapy drug paclitaxel sets off a variety of molecular-level changes that allow breast cancer cells to escape from the tumor. At the same time, it creates an environment in the lung that is more hospitable to the cancer cells, facilitating the spread of the disease, the researchers found in a mouse model of breast cancer.
The study, which appears in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, includes an analysis of data from women with breast cancer that suggest the findings from mouse models could be relevant to breast cancer metastasis in humans.
"That chemotherapy can paradoxically promote cancer progression is an emerging revelation in cancer research. However, a molecular-level understanding of this devastating effect is not clear," said the study's senior author.
The changes in both the tumor and the lung documented in the study depend on a gene called Atf3, which is turned on by stress. In human data, the researchers found higher Atf3 gene expression in patients who had chemotherapy than those who did not.
"This gene seems to do two things at once: essentially help distribute the 'seeds' (cancer cells) and fertilize the 'soil' (the lung)," senior author said.
First, the chemo appears to send signals to increase the number of molecular doors through which the cancer cells can escape from the primary tumor into the bloodstream, freeing them to travel to other organs, the researchers found. Paclitaxel (PTX) increased the circulating tumor cells in the blood and enhanced the metastatic burden at the lung. At the primary tumor, PTX increased the abundance of the tumor microenvironment of metastasis, a landmark microanatomical structure at the microvasculature where cancer cells enter the blood stream. Importantly, these changes in the primary tumor and the metastatic lung were all dependent on Atf3, a stress-inducible gene, in the noncancer host cells.
"I think it's an active process -- a biological change in which the cancer cells are beckoned to escape into the blood -- rather than a passive process in which the cancer cells get into the bloodstream because of leaky vessels," said the senior author.
This finding is bolstered by another recent study published in Science Translational Medicine, which showed a similar result using imaging techniques to observe the tumor in mice, senior author said.
Second, the researchers found that, beyond aiding cancer cell escape, paclitaxel creates a cascade of events that makes the tissue environment in the lung fertile ground for circulating cancer cells. These changes include increased inflammatory monocytes and reduced cytotoxicity."There are signals that help cancer cells enter the lungs and set up shop, that make the environment more immunologically tolerant to cancer cells," senior author said.
"At this point, what our study and the recent literature on chemotherapy taught us is that it is prudent to keep our mind open, realizing that chemo can help treat cancer, but at the same time may increase the possibility of the spread of that cancer," senior author said.
What set their study apart from other research in this area is the identification of the stress gene Atf3. They showed that paclitaxel -- a stressor -- exerts its pro-cancer effect at least in part by turning on Atf3.
"It's possible there could be a treatment given in conjunction with the chemo that would inhibit this problem by dampening the effect of the stress gene Atf3," senior author said.

The playwright Sir Peter Shaffer, whose critical and popular successes in the West End and Broadway included Equus, Amadeus, and The Royal Hunt of the Sun, has died in Ireland aged 90.
Sir Peter wrote more than 18 plays including and Amadeus, a haunting psychological drama about the relationship between Mozart and his less gifted admirer and bitter rival composer Salieri that became a hugely successful Hollywood film. The adaptation won eight Oscars in 1985, including best film and a screenwriting award for Shaffer. It was revived in 2014 to re-open the Chichester Festival theatre, another venue closely associated with his work.

Fawlty Towers Seasons 1-2 DVD Photos
Fawlty Towers Seasons 1-2 DVD Overview
Cleese may also have relented because of the lack of Connie Booth's involvement. She had practically retreated from public life after the show finished (and had been initially unwilling to collaborate on a second series,Fawlty Towers Seasons 1-2 DVDwhich explains the four-year gap between productions).Most notably, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant refused to make a third series of either The Office or Extras, citing Fawlty Towers' short lifespan. Rik Mayall, Ben Elton and Lise Mayer, the writers behind The Young Ones, which also ran for only two series (each with six episodes), used this explanation too. Victoria Wood also indicated this influenced her decision to limit Dinnerladies to just 16 episodes over two series..The decision by Cleese and Booth to quit before a third series has often been lauded, as it ensured the show's successful status wouldn't be weakened with later, lower-quality work.Subsequently,Fawlty Towers Seasons 1-2has inspired the makers of other shows to do likewise.

Interview: Sunao Katabuchiby Bamboo Dong,
We had the honor of sitting down with Sunao Katabuchi earlier this year to talk about his upcoming film, In This Corner of the World, adapted from Fumiyo Kōno's manga. Katabuchi previously directed Black Lagoon and Mai Mai Miracle, the latter of which had a successful crowd-funding campaign to produce an English dub.
I'm very excited to talk about your new project, To All The Corners Of The World. There aren't that many details released in English yet, but based on what I know of the manga and your previous work, I can only imagine it will be something amazing.
Thank you. We actually didn't have the English name of it until now because the manga is only available in Japanese. Before coming here, we contacted Futabasha so that we could actually have a title for you guys and I think we are going to stick with the title In This Corner of the World.
I think that's very interesting because To All The Corners Of The World and In This Corner of the World have such different meanings. What it is that you want to convey in the title alone?
The story is about a girl who is always at the corner of the world. Even if there is a huge war raging, she still is at the corner of the world. I went to the place where she was living in real life to have a look at the place.
That city had a large port where there was a huge battleship. Her house was actually far away from that port and literally at the edge of the city. The story looks at the world from the little corner that she sits in. At first, she doesn't know how this world is shaped from her corner, so this story is written from that perspective—from the view that she has from her corner of the world. Since she doesn't know the shape of the world or anything, this only shows her limited view of the things that she knows of the world. As she develops mentally, she begins to see different things from that corner. The story is basically like that.
This story takes a very different point of view of the war. Were you ever tentative about tackling a story that is framed in something as emotional as World War II?
Before this, I made Mai Mai Miracle, and that was a story about the world in 1955 in Yamaguchi prefecture. In 1955, I was a small boy, so I have a deep understanding of what it was like back in those days in a town. The character Kiiko, she is modeled after a 1930s kind of character. From the 1930s where she was, to the 1950s where the story takes place, to the 1960s when it was my childhood… there's a similarity in regards to the kinds of things that were there. When I saw the photo of the town back in 1930, I almost thought that it was my town in 1960—it had that same kind of feel.
But if you look at it, the 1940s is the only odd one out in there. I wanted the challenge of seeing if I could actually understand the odd years out, the 1940s, that I personally feel don't go with the flow of the 1930s, 50s, and 60s. I wanted to tackle it as someone who would go into that era. In Mai Mai Miracle, there's a character named Shinko. Her mother is around the same age as the mother in In This Corner of the World. Shinko's mother is depicted as a regular woman, the kind of person you'd see anywhere. But you come to think, what happened to her 10 years ago? I would like to understand that kind of thing very much.
In order to understand that, I would first need to look at the world, as opposed to the view from the corner of the world. The world is very broad and I'm not God, so I can't look at the world from a higher place, and I didn't know where to start. So to do that, I decided to check out the world and how it felt in smaller elements. Taking them collaboratively, I would have a better picture of the world. I asked things like "Did people back then really dress up like this?" In order to understand this, I collected a few thousand photos of the era. As a result of that, right now we are doing layout. I would be happy if you would go by [the Otakon art display] and see our progress.
What we are trying to do actually is not say stuff like, "Where was the world trying to go?" or "Who was in control of it?" What we were aiming for is, "What did the world feel like back then?" But for what my point of view would be after that time, you would probably have to read the manga or see the movie to decide for yourself.
Despite the 40s being the odd decade out, did you find as you were working on the project that family life is pretty timeless?
From what I understand, even if the 40s are the odd years out, people's hearts don't change. What I'm trying to see is how regular sentiments felt. In that era, women were told to wear pants called monpe, but later I found out that most of them said, "I don't want to wear this because it just isn't cute or pretty." It wasn't until the aerial bombings happened, until there was a need for more active wear, that they actually started wearing these monpe that you see here.
In reality, what they wanted to do was dress up like any average girl would want to do. And they wanted someone that could see them dressed up and made up. That era where many of the men were at war and they lost many of the men…that was their youth. For these women, their youth was gone. They wanted someone see the fashion that they had.
There is a female poet who wrote a poem called "My Most Beautiful Time" that is about a woman around the same age as her. It's about people who would have shined the most at the peak of their youth but couldn't. But I feel what they really wanted was for men of the same age to see them in their proud outfits and everything. And I'm sure they all wanted a family. Shinko, from Mai Mai Miracle, was born in 1945, just before the war ended. She was born to a young couple that was married during the war. She was actually born in this world before the war ended, during the war, and that's a big point here.. So looking at it that way, people's hearts are unchanging. Even if it's in the 1940s or the 1950s, it's still the same thing.
Obviously as time goes on, it's harder and harder to find people who were children during this time, or grew up during that time. Through the research for this film, do you feel that you've experienced something very special and unique, having the opportunity to speak with these people?
I definitely feel it was an experience I could get from no other. Like this scene over here, you see this bridge over here, right? [Katabuchi shows a sketch]
When you cross that bridge, up in the sky more than 500 meters over it, that's where the atomic bomb hit. This story is back in 1934, so when we are depicting this scene, there are many babies. All these babies fall subject to the atomic bomb when they are teenagers. But even in that group of people, there are some who have survived. So from those people who survived, I was able to talk to them and get the shapes of the buildings and how the town looked back then. Like say, how the shop was shaped back then, or what was in the display windows.
I'll tell a story that happened the day before yesterday. The day before I left Japan, I got a letter from one of the people I interviewed. It was in regards to the store next to the character's store in the movie. The girl who grew up in that store is now an old lady; she had decided to talk to us about it. She told me that what she saw in the artwork really was similar to the street view back when she was small. But this store had two display windows back then, not one.
These kinds of things, when they talk about it, whether they're male or female, they talk about what they were doing, what they were playing when they were kids. Everyone remembers the time when it was still peaceful. That lets us depict the world, the touch, the feel, the taste of the world we were never able to experience.
It sounds like a very special project and I'm very excited.
Thank you.
