Those who know me or Sirin will understand the depth and breadth of our obsession with all things Japan, as demonstrated by my excited tearing open (and subsequent slicing of my thumb) of our latest ‘care package’ courtesy of the excellent Japan Centre.

Girls on Film

Tonight is the first film from the Japanese Foundations “Girls on Film” tour, which has now reached our favorite local cinema The Filmhouse. It’ll be refreshing to see some contemporary Japanese films having somewhat overdosed on the recent Ozu film season.

Most looking forwards to “How to become myself” and “Asyle”, both of which have interesting write-ups.
