Local bookshops under threat, in Japan as elsewhere: valued as a place to hang out and explore books, neglected as a place to shop. Resales, personally curated rental shelves, all-nighters and new distribution models may help keep them going. mainichi.jp/english/arti...

“Kirin ga Kuru” is a 2020 Japanese historical drama television series starring Hiroki Hasegawa as Akechi Mitsuhide, a samurai and general during the Sengoku period.
Framed in an unyielding, monochrome close-up, the face of a Sengoku general emerges from deep shadow, smeared with soot, sweat, and the grime of battle. His wide, unblinking eyes burn with an intense, haunting gaze that fixes directly upon the viewer, conveying a mixture of fierce resolve and tragic weariness. At the base of the composition, the dark, metallic plates of his armor catch sharp highlights of directional light, grounding the portrait in martial weight. Stark, calligraphic white brushstrokes slice vertically across the lower center, creating a dramatic textural contrast between the raw, tactile human countenance, cold steel, and the ink-black void.
Created as the primary promotional portrait for NHK’s 59th annual Taiga drama, Kirin ga Kuru (2020), this photograph depicts actor Hiroki Hasegawa as the historical samurai general Akechi Mitsuhide (c. 1528–1582). Reinterpreting one of the most enigmatic figures of Japan’s Sengoku (Warring States) period, the narrative follows Mitsuhide’s search for order during an era of ceaseless civil war, culminating in the fateful Honnō-ji Incident of 1582. The title invokes the mythical Kirin (Qilin)—a legendary chimerical beast said to appear on earth only when a wise and compassionate ruler brings peace to a war-torn realm.

Tokyo Drifter (1966) A gangster film that brims with color as if the darkness of the topic didn't matter. An archaic antihero with a white suit that never dirties clashes with a changing world that cares not about honor or loyalty. Surrealism on steroids, the colors mystify like a dream. #filmsky

Momotaro and Kintaro never meet in their own folk tales. Kunisada put them in a sumo ring anyway, and that print is being rebuilt on the ground at Odaiba out of 25,000 carnations and 250kg of coloured sand, 17 to 19 October.
The May 2026 Odaiba Infiorata at sunset, a long infiorata of red, yellow, purple, and white petals in a bird design with a geometric border, roped off across the deck, with the fountain, Rainbow Bridge, and Tokyo skyline lit behind it. Provided by HANAE JAPAN.Volunteers kneeling on a printed groundsheet at the May 2026 event, laying coloured petals by hand from buckets to fill in the design, with plastic bags of petals, water sprayers, and onlookers around the edges. Provided by HANAE JAPAN.Utagawa Kunisada's print of Momotaro and Kaidomaru, two child wrestlers gripping each other in a sumo ring on a pink ground, with attendants in patterned robes on either side and a green judge's fan raised at the right. Provided by HANAE JAPAN.Mock-up of how the finished infiorata is planned to look on the deck at Odaiba Marine Park, with two child sumo wrestlers locked together on a pink ground, lit by lamps along the railing, and the Tokyo Aqua Symphony fountain, Rainbow Bridge, and bay skyline behind.
