Letter from children of Kihichi Sakamoto to Project Director [Raymond R. Best], February 14, 1944
No full textLetter from three of his children, Tatsuo, Manabu, and Osamu Sakamoto, requests the release of their father, Kihichi Sakamoto, from the Army Stockade, for the sake of their mother's "health and mind" stating that she has been ill since their stay in Heart Mountain the previous year and has suffered a relapse upon her husband's imprisonment in the stockade; the letter states that, according to her doctor, a lack of kindness and peace of mind regarding this request for release could prove lethal to her.The Willard Schmidt collection, documents some of the administrative duties of Willard Schmidt, the Chief of Internal Security for the War Relocation Authority and the Tule Lake incarceration/segregation camp. This collection contains administrative records and photos documenting the Tule Lake camp, the largest incarceration camp with a peak population of 18,789 and with the most turbulent history. In 1943, the camp was turned into a segregation center to house "disloyal" Japanese Americans relocated from other camps based on their answers to a confusing loyalty questionnaire. The camp endured martial law from November 1943- Jan 1944 after escalating protests and unrest. The hostile environment of the camp lead to many incarcerees renouncing their American citizenship upon the end of incarceration, a process which took 14 years to reverse if they did not wish to be deported to Japan

Sakamoto Ryoma: the Nietzschean hero of the Meiji Restoration
No full textThis thesis is a Nietzschean analysis of Meiji Restoration hero Sakamoto Ryoma (1835 - 1867). It discusses the life and times of Sakamoto and basic theories of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900). It argues that despite vastly different historical, cultural, and ideological backgrounds, Sakamoto and Nietzsche were modern men with similar ideas, and that Sakamoto lived those ideas. The author demonstrates that Sakamoto perceived Confucianism-based social and political systems under Tokugawa feudalism as threatening to Japan’s sovereignty in an age of Western imperialism, and that through a Nietzschean “will to power” and resolve to “live dangerously” he helped overthrow the Tokugawa Shogunate. The paper compares Sakamoto’s rejection of Confucian-samurai values with Nietzsche’s rejection of Christian values, and Nietzsche’s announcement of the death of God with Sakamoto’s heralding of the death of Tokugawa feudalism. Pointing out the importance that Sakamoto and Nietzsche placed on truth, individualism, self-reliance, and self-determination, the paper argues that Sakamoto, embodying Nietzsche’s “higher man,” created new values and embraced ideas resembling Nietzsche’s doctrine of free death to overcome chaos and create meaning through revolution

No full textThe ultraluminous infrared galaxy Arp 220 has been observed at 0: 00 5 resolution in CO(2--1) and 1 mm continuum using the newly expanded Owens Valley Millimeter Array. The CO and continuum peaks at the double nuclei and the surrounding molecular gas disk are clearly resolved. We find steep velocity gradients across each nucleus (\DeltaV 500 km s \Gamma1 within r = 0: 00 3) whose directions are not aligned with each other and with that of the outer gas disk. We conclude that the double nuclei have their own gas disks (r 100 pc). They are counterrotating with respect to each other and embedded in the outer gas disk (r 1 kpc) rotating around the dynamical center of the system. The masses of each nucleus are M dyn ? 2 \Theta 10 9 M fi based on the CO kinematics. Although there is no evidence of an old stellar population in the optical or near infrared spectroscopy of the nuclei (probably due to the much brighter young population), it seems likely that these nuclei w..
Playback
No full textPlayback, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Dumb Type.
The Japan Pavilion at the 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, 23 April – 27 November 2022. and at the Haus der Kunst Munich, 6 May-11 September 2022. Participated as one of 16 artists around the world (including Seigen Ono) to contribute a field recording of their immediate environment that was mixed/re-engineered as a sonic experience within the multi-media installation. Each sonic contribution remastered by Ryuichi was then turned into a vinyl ‘album’ and all played simultaneously in the installation. “Playback is about the ways in which we perceive the world having been drastically changed with the spread of things such as social media and coronavirus. Playback is also recognises the noise that exists in cities around the world and to feel the atmosphere of a city that doesn’t exist in that space, through its sounds’ Ryuichi Sakamoto (edited). The 2022 Biennale attracted a record attendance of 800,000+
THE SOUND PERCEPTION.
No full textIn this text, the Japanese composer highlights the elements that guide his research
around the sound. In particular, he focuses on the acoustic implications of “resonance”, the principle through which he operates on the matter of sound. Besides, he takes into consideration the works developed with the artist Shiro Takatani, with whom he has created hybrid works between installation and theatre
