● Intute Arts and Humanities: New Year in Japan

"There are many traditions associated with the New Year - seeing the first sunrise from a mountain or beach is one, but the first visit of the year to a Shinto shrine and/or Buddhist temple (hatsumōde) is the most important. My most memorable New Year ever was spent with friends and thousands of others on a cold clear night in Nara, one of the ancient capitals of Japan: shuffling slowly along stone slabbed and stepped pathways lit by stone lanterns; listening for the temples tolling their bells 108 times (joya no kane) to purge the listeners of the 108 human sins; gasping at the sight of the serene face of the 15m high Great Buddha through specially openend shutters of the great hall of the Tōdaiji temple complex. Here’s a short video of visits to several shrines and temples in Tokyo at New Year..."

"Intute has catalogued some excellent academic resources on Shinto and Buddhism in Japan, including one website with around a thousand images of Buddhist and Shinto statues, stone lanterns, rock gardens and other aspects of Japanese shrines and temples."

"Rob Pongi, the larger-than-life personality behind Asia Entertainment Online, has just produced his first self-proclaimed “Hollywood” movie about a certain Hollywood-based video site. Yes, that’s right folks, Pongi has taken an age-old maxim and revverized it with a little help from Revver’s own Alex Asselin, who caught up with Rob while on a recent trip to Japan."

"In 2000 begon hij het nachtleven in het uitgangsdistrict Roppongi in Tokio te filmen. Inmiddels staan ruim 200 video’s, 3D-animaties en foto’s, gemaakt door Pongi zelf of door Japanse filmmakers, op internet. De filmpjes gaan al lang niet meer alleen over stappen in de Japanse hoofdstad en in plaats van pure documentaires maakt de videokunstenaar ook satirische spotjes met daarin fictieve elementen."

Review

orwelltv
Named after Roppongi, the well known part of Tokyo famous for sleazy bars, dozens of strip clubs, and crowds of drunken "gaijin" (foreigners), Rob Pongi is what you get when you cross Krusty The Clown with the streets of Tokyo. Because Rob speaks fluent Japanese, he's able to delve just a bit deeper into the wilder side of Japan than most Westerners. Here you'll find packed parties, japanese burlesque shows, and the mutated ramblings of a Westerner who has been in Japan far too long. But have no fear, Pongi always comes in peace. Of special note is the editing and effects which are usually psychadelic, but rather well done. You never know what to expect from this show, but you'll never be able to claim it's normal. - Added on 17 Feb, 2006
