I’ve just got back from Tokyo, where I was honoured to be invited to give the keynote at Agile Tokyo 2010. Agile conferences have a short history in Japan – both Agile Tokyo and Agile Japan are only two years old – and there was a real buzz of excitement, with lots of smart people (280 delegates attended) and interesting conversations. So first of all I’d like to thank Yoshi Nagase and his wonderful team at Technologic Arts for hosting me, Yoko Yoshikawa for taking such good care of me during my time there, Gihyo for organizing the conference and for inviting me, and my fellow presenters for some great discussions.
This illuminating and authoritative account, a major 13-part television series written and presented by the distinguished historian, John Roberts, comments upon the history of western civilisation from its earliest roots in the Graeco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian traditions and seeks to uncover what it was that gave European culture its outward push and confident energy for so many centuries. What has provided its unique vigour beyond its own boundaries that so distinguished it from other world civilisations? Professor Roberts here not only identifies and traces a number of the continuing strands running through the West's conceptions of itself and other civilisations, but draws a picture of the nature of its often flawed and complicated triumph. The paradoxical and, in the end, irreversible impact of the West on the rest of the world provides a fascinating story. Its working-out reverberates to this day in our own lives. Professor Roberts' telling of it, in this richly illustrated and brilliantly argued book, is based on examples drawn from a huge range of world history, examples which are stimulating, provocative and always challenging. 1. Dangerous Gifts This programme looks at China, Japan and India. 2. New Direction This programme examines religious beliefs in a secular age. 3. Heart of the West This programme discusses the fact that there wasn't always a Europe… 4. Islam - the World's Debate This programme examines the Crusades & Western aggression. 5. East of Europe This programme looks at Byzantine Christianity and the Ottoman Empire. If you have episodes 6-13 could you please contact me at Monmouthaust@gmail.com

On the fateful day in August 60 years ago, when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, only three photographs were taken by residents of the city. As a result there is only a fragmentary record of what it is like to experience the onslaught of a nuclear explosion.
But now an intriguing and unique Japanese history project has persuaded survivors - many of whom have never spoken about their experience before - to draw the scenes they remember from that day. This produced an outpouring of paintings. Some were amateurish and strange, but they created a vivid and intense record of the horror experienced that day. For many survivors who have never had the opportunity to express their emotions, these paintings produced an outpouring of hidden emotion, and an end to torments that have lasted six decades.
This film shows the range of images created by the survivors of the atom bomb, and tells the story of how some of them have discovered new facts about that day and what happened to their families or the people they came across in the aftermath of the nuclear explosion. Some of them now feel that the paintings have brought them a form of peace with the horrors they witnessed on the day that ushered in the atomic age.
The film was originally made by NHK, the national broadcaster in Japan, and the English version for Channel 4 has been made by Flashback Television.

In 1908, the French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn launched one of the most ambitious projects in the history of photography. A pacifist, internationalist and utopian idealist, Kahn decided to use his private fortune to improve understanding between the nations of the world. To this end, he created what he called his Archive of the Planet. For the next two decades, he dispatched professional photographers to document the everyday lives of people in more than 50 countries all around the world. Kahn's wealth enabled him to supply his photographers with the most advanced camera technology available. They used the autochrome - the first user-friendly camera system capable of producing true-colour photographs.
Some of the most important of all the 72,000 colour images in Kahn's Archive were shot during three separate visits (in 1908, 1912 and 1926) to Japan. As an international financier, Kahn had established a network of contacts that included some of the most prominent members of Japan's business, banking and political elites. Consequently, Kahn's photographers were granted privileged access to places that would have otherwise been off limits - including some of the royal palaces, where they shot colour portraits of the princes and princesses from Japan's Imperial family. But some of their most fascinating images capture moments from the lives of ordinary Japanese people at work and play. This film showcases Kahn's treasury of films and autochromes of silk-farmers, Shinto monks, schoolchildren, porcelain merchants, Kabuki stars and geishas - pictures that were recorded at a time when this fascinating country was going through momentous changes.
Fascism is known as an ideology that was born and flourished in the 20th century. Yet the roots of this ideology, which exalted war and violence, in fact go back to ancient times, to Sparta. It spread rapidly across the world in the wake of World War I, with fascist regimes coming to power in Germany and Italy in particular, but also in such countries as Spain and Japan.

UFO HUNTERS on HISTORY, Wednesdays at 10 PM. A UFO sighting above Chicago's largest airport leaves authorities scrambling for answers... There are approximately 30,000 commercial flights in the United States every day...and as the number of flights increase, so does the proximity of UFO encounters. On November 7th, 2006, a strange object hovered for ten minutes over Gate C17 at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago before rapidly ascending into the sky. And on October 23rd of 2004, in Osaka, Japan a UFO was spotted tailing Japanese Airlines flight 1512 as it came in for a landing. Are UFOs following our own commercial aircraft, and surveying our airports? The team sifts through the evidence of these and other mysterious cases to determine if UFOs have a peaceful or malevolent agenda.

Japan Airlines Flight 123 was a Japan Airlines domestic flight from Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) to Osaka International Airport (Itami). The Boeing 747-SR46 that made this route, registered JA8119, crashed into the ridge of Mount Takamagahara in Ueno, Gunma Prefecture, 100 kilometers from Tokyo, on Monday August 12, 1985. The crash site was on Osutaka Ridge (おすたかのおね, Osutaka-no-One?), near Mount Osutaka. All 15 crew members and 505 out of 509 passengers died, resulting in a total of 520 deaths. It remains the deadliest single-aircraft accident, and the second-deadliest aviation accident after the Tenerife disaster in history, only counting victims on board
The AJW television show that aired this match, and the subsequent exhibition, drew a whopping 13.3 rating on a Saturday afternoon, which made it the most watched wrestling event in Japan in 1988. First it's a tag match with Dump and Ohmori vs Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka, then a 5 minute exhibition tag, where Dump and Chigusa finally bury the hatchet after one of the most intense feuds in wrestling history. Plus highlights of Dump and Ohmori's final official matches. A must see for 80s joshi fans.
Japan. The land of Toyota, samurais, anime, the Nintendo Wii. These days I have come to realize that americans, including a few around myself, have a fond image of Japan. I find it surprising that people feel this way when Japan is a nation the US nuked back in WWII following Japan's launch of a surprise attack on pearl harbor which incited the war. Since then, Japan's thirst for territorial expansion still hasn't been quenched and she is currently involved in territorial disputes with China over Diaoyudao, Russia over the Kuril archipelago, and Korea over Dokdo. Japan is enforcing territorial rights even though historical evidence and effective dominance prove wrong. Japan is using every possible means to try and distort history. Maybe the US should intervene once more to set things right.
Due to recent occurences between Japan and the rest of Northeast Asia, this clip shows how obsessed Japan is to seize all the territories for their own needs by using means such as distorting history and arousing international conflicts.
The P-51 Mustang rose from obscurity to become the greatest long-range fighter in aviation history. Able to outfly even the best of the Axis aircraft, the Mustang decimated its enemies and drove them from the skies over Europe and Japan. But in it infancy, the Mustang flashed none of its war-winning potential. We trace the P-51's development from its origin through its re-emergence as the dominant aerial weapon of World War II.
This is the first of a four part mini series written and drawn by the amazing manga artist yoshinori natsume. Of all the super hero characters batman probably translates best into the manga style. His action, hand to hand combat, and gadgets play really well with the art style and his dark , brooding side fits to the story content as his inner demons are often more fierce and dangerous than his external ones. This is a thick book, which reads right to left in the Japanese style, with a lot of content. There is a villain from batman's past that has returned and is attacking the citizens of Gotham and the darknight's dreams. The art is fantastic, there is a two page panel that includes a manga version of all the batman's major rogues that is cool to see, especially the female ones, and the action is swift and exciting. The colorless panels add to the pulp quality of the book and the dark tone of the story. We will also get to see a bit of history during the time Bruce Wayne spent in Japan training ...
Yukio Nikko and Kuro Raidon have both been great enemy’s for many, many generations. In ancient history Raidon was an emperor over the lands of Japan that he once ruled, but Nikko who was a fully and well trained assassin in Ninjitsu freed the people from Raidon’s rule of power over Japan.
Now though after all these thousands of years that have past since that event took place Nikko’s family descendant Yukio Nikko must now face the revenge wanted by Kuro Raidon for what happened to his family’s emper

Nishijin Brocade evolved from weaving techniques which flourished as part of the elegant Court culture imported to Japan from China around the fifth or sixth century.

Those techniques developed into a weaving style which was nurtured throughout Kyoto's long history. In the fifteenth century it came to be known as Nishijin Brocade, a name representative of traditional Japanese weaving with an air of splendor.
Kinran, or gold brocade, is a technique that was brought over from China in the sixteenth century. In Nishijin Brocade, gold leaf and gold thread are incorporated to create a unique, sparkling world. BANDO's Kinran (gold brocade) adds the NIshijin style to the newest technology and a modern aesthetic sense -- bringing out the best of tradition in textile which enhance a wide variety of settings ranging from Japanese - to Western - style.
