One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Episode: The Fukuoka Children's Science Museum in Kurume
Always a great place to take your kids, we recently went to the Children's Science Museum in Kurume, for the I have no idea-th time. One thing I forgot to mention in the actual video is that the museum is not just a great place to take your kids for a fun and educational experience, it's also really cheap! :)

FUKUOKA - Fukuoka City Public Library
The facilities of Fukuoka city public library were more than expected. They had a well-organized reading rooms with all kind of periodicals. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and I could see people ranging from kids to senior citizens. They also had a small cafe in the library.
And after all of those, the interior and exterior design which combines 19th century catholic church and museum, was the ultimate beauty that signified the old city of urban serenity.
L and C in Fukuoka!

[JAPAN] Tribute to Kenichi Trabold - Mr. Kyushu University
This video is created based on one of J’s college i.ke.men (handsome men) series. The video introduces u to Mr. Kenichi Trabold, an engineering student at Kyushu University in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka-prefecture in Kyushu Island.
Kenichi was selected by the students at Kyushu Univ. as one of the best-looking students there. He didn't think that he would receive such honour ever… but if other people tell him so, why not enjoy it while it lasts?! So here he is... in my video selection of ikemen in Japan.
Kenichi was born in Japan to a Japanese mother and a German American father who adapted Kyushu as his hometown. His parents made sure that their children including Kenichi appreciate both of their parents’ lineages, so the children are all bilingual and do visit their paternal grandparents in the U.S. regularly, too.
Japanese-European mixed children always come out more European looking than anything else... which is quite unique to Japanese race among all the races in Asia. Kenichi is a good example of that.
Kenichi is just an ordinary Japanese college student; he loves manga, PC games, and J-sweets, etc. He is Japanese but when he is in the U.S., Americans treat him just like one of their own… which is nice, Kenichi says.
Best of luck to his Aeronautical Engineering study and hope someday soon he will be participating in JAXA (J’s version of NASA)?!
Many thanks for watching...; please give a big thumbs up! My videos are sort of related to each other, so enjoy others as well.
Peace out... ; D

We had a formal shinto oharai ceremony at the new Genki Building in Fukuoka, a way to purify the building so it's ready for us to use as a Japanese school. It was quite hypnotic!
Lee Wen Archive
This archive covers the span of Lee Wen’s practice as an artist, organiser, and writer, starting in the early 1980s: his solo and collaborative projects, his notebooks and sketchbooks, his formative period with The Artists Village, his writings and correspondences, and his extensive documentation of art collectives and festivals in Asia and Europe. Among this latter batch of material are photographs and video documentation of artists who participated in ground-breaking festivals such as Artists’ General Assembly, Nippon International Performance Art Festival, and Asiatopia.
View the archive:
Lee Wen was a pioneer among a generation who defined and shaped performance art in Asia. He came of age at a time when Singapore was undergoing the turbulent and uncertain processes of nation-building—from a former British colony to a brief federation that formed Malaysia, and then rapid modernisation as a republic. Together with some of his peers, Lee reimagined the foundations of academic art, opening its vocabulary and techniques to a socially engaged practice.
Born in 1957, he was the youngest of five children raised by a single mother, Lee Mee Lan, after his father, the writer Lee Xue Min, passed away. Upon graduating from Raffles Institution in Singapore, Lee worked at various jobs, including as a bank officer for Chase Manhattan Bank. He quit after six years at the bank, and in 1987 enrolled at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore. In 1989 he joined The Artists Village (TAV) founded by Tang Da Wu. He thrived with peers in an environment that fostered conversation and work that was ephemeral, time-based, process-focused, and collectively and socially informed. A year after joining TAV, Lee studied at City College of London Polytechnic from 1990 to 1992, and later finished his Master of Fine Arts at LASALLE in 2006.
During his time in London, Lee often was mistaken as someone from Mainland China. This accentuated his questions about his identity and the purpose of art: his father had been a well-known writer in the Chinese literary community in Singapore, but Lee Wen felt more comfortable in English, having been educated in a system borne of British colonialism. Subjected to the homogenising gaze of Orientalism, Lee embarked on a series of projects that developed alter egos he could use to address socially constructed ideas. The first of these projects is Journey of a Yellow Man. Developed for fifteen iterations (No.7, No.8, No.10, No.12, and No.14 were planned but never executed) from 1992 to 2001, Yellow Man traveled to England, Singapore, India, Japan, Thailand, Mexico, Australia, and China. The project evolved from a critique of Orientalism to a meditation on freedom, climate change, humility, and religious practices—responding to the locations in which Lee performed. Other performances—including Ghost Stories (1992–2003), Anthropometry Revision (2008), Strange Fruit (2003), World Class Society (1999–2000), and Ping Pong Go Round (1998 and 2012)—embodied rewritings of histories and conventions.
Parallel to his practice as a solo artist, Lee was active in artist-run initiatives—in particular the collective Black Market International, and the festivals Future of Imagination (FOI) and Rooted In The Ephemeral Speak (R.I.T.E.S.). He co-founded FOI in
2003, to test the Singapore National Arts Council’s loosening of its ten-year de facto ban on funding for performance art. He also co-founded R.I.T.E.S. in 2009, as a platform that explores sound as a part of performance and visual art. Throughout his practice, Lee questioned the purpose and possibilities of using the body as material, and the relevance of art—in particular performance art—for the issues of its time.
Lee first showed his work at The Artists Village, and had solo exhibitions at Singapore Art Museum, Grey Projects, Your Mother Gallery, The Substation, 3331 Gallery, and other places. Notable group exhibitions included SunShower at The National Art Center, Tokyo, and Mori Art Museum (2017), Secret Archipelago at Palais de Tokyo (2015), Singapore Biennale (2013), Asiatopia (2008, 1998), Artists Investigating Monuments (2000), Third Asia Pacific Triennial (1999), Sexta Bienal de La Habana (1997), and Kwangju Biennale (1995). His work is in the collections of Singapore Art Museum, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Queensland Art Gallery, and Mori Art Museum, among others. He was awarded The Joseph Balestier Award for the Freedom of Art (2016), Artist Scholar Activist Award from Performance Studies international (2014), and Singapore’s Cultural Medallion (2005).
AAA began the Lee Wen Archive in collaboration with NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore; National Gallery Singapore later joined as a supporting collaborator. The digital archive will continually be updated with new material.

An Old Mountain Tomb in Setaka- I Live in Japan Mini 79
Walking in down from the top of the mountain we came across an old grave I'd spotted from the car earlier. I just wish I'd brought a flashlight! I had no way of knowing I'd see this though. I've seen dozens of these old tombs on the mountain in Tannushimaru, but this is the first time I've seen one in Setaka.

The Japanese government has designated 110 places throughout the country as Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Historic Buildings. 5 of those districts are in Fukuoka Prefecture.
These districts are not confined to houses; they can be anything from townscapes and waterways. Any area that has value as a historical community can be under consideration.
In this video, we introduce one of Fukuoka Prefecture's preservation districts, Fukushima of Yame City.
I Went To A Japanese Spa Theme Park
So we traveled to Japan to film a three-part series about beauty & style and we’re kicking it off with a trip to the SPA THEME PARK for skincare & relaxation! Yunessun is kind of like a mash-up of a traditional hot springs spa and a waterpark, with some very strange baths to boot - including wine, collagen, green tea, coffee, sake, and more!
Thanks to Yunessun for allowing us to film there! You can check their link out here:

How a Japanese Otaku Decoded Vermeer's Art Materpieces ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Vermeer meets the obsessive mind of a Japanese Otaku!
Japan's Otaku are known for being obsessive about their passions. In fact, that's the definition of an Otaku - and they're socially inept. Professor Shin-Ichi Fukuoka is not just one of those guys, he's the leading Vermeer Otaku in the world with amazing scientific abilities -- and that obsessive mental laser has led to some amazing discoveries in the art field.
Using his Otaku super mind, he's uncovered some new clues into Vermeer's life and also that of Leeuwenhoek, the father of microbiology. They're things missed for centuries by thousands of experts.
This look into the mind of an Otaku is also a way to see how Vermeer has become so popular in Japan. People wait for hours to see his work and there are even drinks and soups made in honor of his work!
So why is Vermeer so big here? Professor Fukuoka will enlighten us, in the geekiest way possible.
How far has his obsession gone? The professor has also recreated all of Vermeer's work, restoring the color to it's original -- now better than the originals -- as though they were painted over 300 years ago. Yeah, his passion for Vermeer is on another level. It's the highest level!
