Japanese POP and CONTEMPORARY Art. For a number of years, the key phrase "Cool Japan" has gained popularrity around the world. The art, fashion, animation, cuisine and architecture that we Japanese have long taken for granted have beenlatched on to as new and exciting by consumers around the world. Arttists introduced here by BOOM are all contemporary art makers currently working in Japan. They vary in technique and age, and essentially have no common theme or genre. However, the one thread that links all of these artists is that, in this ever changing era, they continue to conceive and pursue new and unique methods of expression in their work. In every sense they are "artists living in the NOW". Through BOOM we hope audiences will experience that special "something" that is found in the very DNA of the Japanese people. That je ne sais quoi which has its basis in the traditions of Japanese art and is only emphasized through the expression and craftsmanship of the individual artists presented. These contemporary artists are the true life-breath of their generation. our greatest hope is that this volume may inspire an interest in both these extraordinary artists and their art.

This is the true story of Japanese prisoners of war, who were detained in Siberia at the end of World War II, and an abandoned dog they found near the concentration camp in Khabarovsk. They named the dog Kuro, and decided to keep her in the concentration camp secretly, where she became their "Hachi-ko" (1923-1935), the most famous, faithful dog in Japan. When they were finally being repatriated in 1956, after a decade of internment, Kuro followed them all the way to Nakhodka port, and jumped into the sea of ice, chasing after their ship. Against regulations, the ship captain stopped and took Kuro aboard. Thus, Kuro was also "repatriated" with the Japanese POWs to Maizuru port, in Kyoto prefecture, in Japan.

The inspiring life story of pioneering feminist artist, activist, and Buddhist teacher Mayumi Oda told through her own words and original thangka paintings. Sitting in meditation in front of a statue of Goddess Sarasvati, Mayumi Oda heard her say in a loud voice, "Stop the plutonium shipment " After taking a stunned breath, Mayumi replied, "I can't do that. I'm only an artist," and Sarasvati answered, "Help will be provided." This book is the culmination of a life devoted to responding to Sarasvati's call to cultivate a path of peace, justice, and compassion. Known as the "Matisse of Japan," Mayumi Oda is a painter, environmental activist, and Buddhist practitioner whose life reflects both the brilliance and shadows of modernity. Sarasvati's Gift explores her upbringing in Japan, her tumultuous marriage and the death of her son, her immigration to the country responsible for the destruction of her home, her inspiration for both her Buddhist practice and her art, and ultimately her commitment to the planet that gives her life both hope and meaning. This raw, heartfelt, and powerful memoir shares Mayumi's story of finding her place and her mission to transform the world.
