Bilingual English/Japanese. A young girl finds things to be joyful about in the Topaz Internment Camp.Mari wonders if anything can…
bloom at Topaz, where her family is interned along with thousands of other Japanese Americans during World War II. The summer sun is blazingly hot, and Mari's art class has begun. But it's hard to think of anything to draw in a place where nothing beautiful grows. Somehow, glimmers of hope begin to surface under the harsh sun--in the eyes of a kindly art teacher, in the tender words of Mari's parents, and in the smile of a new friend. Inspired by her family's experiences, author Amy Lee-Tai has crafted a story rooted in one of America's most shameful historical episodes--the internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. The art schools which offered internees moments of solace and self-expression are a little known part of this history. Amy Lee-Tai's gentle prose and Felicia Hoshino's stunning mixed media images are a testimony to hope and how it can survive alongside even the harshest injustice.By Margaret Mehl. 2024
Japan was the first non-Western nation to compete with the Western powers at their own game. The country’s rise to…
a major player on the stage of Western music has been equally spectacular. The connection between these two developments, however, has never been explored. How did making music make Japan modern? How did Japan make music that originated in Europe its own? And what happened to Japan’s traditional music in the process? Music and the Making of Modern Japan answers these questions. Discussing musical modernization in the context of globalization and nation-building, Margaret Mehl argues that, far from being a side-show, music was part of the action on centre stage. Making music became an important vehicle for empowering the people of Japan to join in the shaping of the modern world. In only fifty years, from the 1870s to the early 1920s, Japanese people laid the foundations for the country’s post-war rise as a musical as well as an economic power. Meanwhile, new types of popular song, fuelled by the growing global record industry, successfully blended inspiration from the West with musical characteristics perceived as Japanese. Music and the Making of Modern Japan represents a fresh contribution to historical research on making music as a major cultural, social, and political force.The Teacher&’s Manual provides specific suggestions and practical examples for teachers on how to use Japanese for Busy People Book…

is one of the most comprehensive series containing texts, workbooks and teacher&’s manuals for all three volumes. Audio recordings for the dialogues and listening exercises are now available as free download from kodansha.us. Teacher&’s Manual provides specific suggestions for teachers on how to use the main text in a classroom setting and how to coordinate it with the workbook. CAN-DO section is useful in creating lesson plan and measuring learners&’ mastery level. It also contains a Japanese translation of all of the key components of the main text, such as culture notes, notes on Japanese grammar, and active communication. This first of three volumes introduces "survival Japanese" — the absolute minimum amount of Japanese needed to live in Japan. Thus, the vocabulary and grammatical items it introduces are limited to about a third of what is typically introduced in a first-year course. In addition, the book features notes on Japanese culture intended to expand the learner&’s understanding of Japan, its customs and people. Japanese for Busy People I is available in two formats: romanized and kana. The Romanized Version uses romanized Japanese throughout, with kana in the Opening Dialogues of each lesson. The Kana Version — exposing students to hiragana and katakana from the very beginning — uses only kana.The content of the two books is otherwise exactly the same. The companion volume, Japanese for Busy People 1: The Workbook for the Revised 4th Edition contains a variety of illustrated exercises for mastering the basic sentence patterns presented in the main text.By マヌエルトリスタンテ. 2021

the tree in their garden. She investigates one night and is amazed at what she finds. She makes strange new friends and is soon partying with them at night too. Even when tragedy strikes a friend the happiness cannot end and ultimately a miracle occurs which makes Kayleigh able to walk. ある家族が新しい家に引っ越しました。ハンデのある娘、ケイリーは夜になると庭の木の下から聞こえてくる音で眠れません。ある晩、その音の正体を見つける決意をしました。そして、その正体を知ってびっくり。その不思議な友達とすぐに友達になり、自分も夜のパーテーに参加することに。たとえ悲しい事が起きてしまっても、その時に幸せは終わらることはない。奇跡が起き、ケイリーは自分の足で歩けることに。 “The Tickle Tree” was inspired by a tree in a park where we take our daughters to play. 「くすぐりの木」は、私たち夫婦が娘たちを連れて行く公園にある木に魅せられて書きました。 The story has been written in rhyme and it encourages us to always look for the magic in life as children and to remember to look for the magic in life as adults. リズム感がある話で、子供には、生活の中に存在する魔法をいつも探すように、また、大人になっても子供の時に見た魔法を思い出そうと励ます話です。 It also demonstrates how powerful happiness can be in that a young disabled girl experiences a miracle and is able to walk for the first time. また、幸せがどんなにパワフルで、ハンデにより歩けなかった女の子が奇跡を経験した後、自分の力で歩けるようになるほどスゴイと見せてくれます。
