Abstract: Robert Fish leads us off with a review of the extraordinary documentary on World War II kamikaze pilots and their legacy, Wings of Defeat. We were privileged to host the filmmakers, Risa Morimoto and Linda Hoaglund, in May to lead sessions at our Digital Asia Workshop and were deeply impressed by both their filmmaking and their teaching. Karen Nakamura brings her expertise on the disabled in Japan to bear on the unusual love story, Josee, the Tiger and the Fish. Critically acclaimed in its limited U.S. release, The Taste of Tea is reviewed by Tim Engles, with special attention to its appeal to middle and high school students. Rachel Lenz, with her review of Train Man and its place in the “Densha phenomenon,” and Paul Dunscomb, with his overview of the origins and history of anime and manga, orient us to the world of Japanese popular culture.
