Tomorrow I’ll wake up early to be ready to go for a run to the Hijiyama park at 6:30 am with @tantek.com 🤗
… and then we’ll go about our day of meetings 🙄 #japan#hiroshima #KoalieTravel
The Hiroshima Prefectural art museum was a massive disappointment to me 😞
Only three rooms on one floor. The other floor for temporary exhibition was not in service.
All of the very pretty artworks were forbidden to photograph AND the museum shop did not sell any catalog or postcards/posters of anything displayed at the museum. I didn’t have anything to sketch them.
Here are only the pretty things. #japan#hiroshima #KoalieTravel
Oppenheimer finally premiered Friday in the nation where two cities were obliterated 79 years ago by the nuclear weapons invented by the American scientist who was the subject of the Oscar-winning film. Japanese filmgoers' reactions were understandably mixed and highly emotional....
Here's how to make green #transit even greener. Put the tram tracks on a carpet of grass or sedum. 2 kms of track creates 1.5 football fields' worth of green space, reducing air pollution and urban heat island effect.
I was interviewed along with other scholars and activists about the film “#Oppenheimer" in today's edition of the Chugoku Shimbun, our local newspaper here in Hiroshima.
My general take as reported here is that the film essentially repeats the decades old American narrative of the #nuclear attacks on #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki. It tells a story about Americans and not Japanese people. It is a story about great scientists, great technology and great industrial capacity. It is a story about American exceptionalism, and not about the use of weapons of mass destruction against a civilian population.
