平林

[kozyndan]

Dan - I knew really immediately what we should do for Mountain. Living in #Yamanashi its a pretty easy one to do. If you don’t know, Yamanashi Prefecture is a small prefecture bordering Tokyo prefecture and is essentially a big bowl - a valley surrounded on all sides by mountains including the tallest (Mt. Fuji) and second tallest (Kitadake) in Japan. Standing in the valley there is simply mountains in every direction.

The kilns where kozy goes to fire her ceramics, which is located in the small village of #Hirabayashi ( #平林 ), partway up the slope of Mt. Kushigata ( #櫛形山 ). From above the village you can get fantastic views of Mt. Fuji. The found out that the manager of the kilns, Okubo-san, is an avid Magic player, so we decided to feature his ceramics in the Mountain card. This was made easy by the fact what he mainly produces is a small ceramic replica of a particular kind of traditional pagoda-shaped protective charm. It was a perfect addition to our version of this spectacular Mountain View. Kozy loved the idea too, so she also worked on her own composition for the Mountain card.

While we ultimately went with my overall composition for the piece, I really loved the village she had created so I extracted the shoddily drawn village in my own comp and situated her village into my scene. At the very end I thought I wanted to have some more characters near the temple, so I imagined a warrior monk that has pet rabbits descending the stairs on the mountainside.

The Mountain card really is a scene that is very “Yamanashi” to us - its a common thing to drive up into the mountains (and perhaps hike) to find a view looking down into the valley with Mt. Fuji towering in the distance - and my does it look radiant at sunset!

If you are a Magic player or a kozyndan fan (or both!), consider pre-ordering a set! They are available only until January 6th.

AALDEF Night at the Theater: Hold These Truths

Join the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund for a night at the theater!

Hold These Truths

A one-man show inspired by the true story of Japanese American civil rights hero Gordon Hirabayashi.  Agonizing over the forced removal of Japanese Americans to concentration camps during World War II, Gordon journeys toward a greater understanding of America's triumphs - and a confrontation with its failures.  www.EpicTheatreEnsemble.org/HoldTheseTruths

Tickets: $35  To purchase tickets, call 212.966.5932 x212.

Jeanne Sakata made her playwriting debut with her solo play, Hold These Truths (formerly Dawn’s Light: The Journey of Gordon Hirabayashi), which received its world premiere in November 2007 in Los Angeles. The play was also the inspiration and theatrical centerpiece for the 2009 civil rights symposium on the Hirabayashi case at the University of Tennessee, "Civil Liberties, National Security and the Legacies of the Japanese Removal and Incarcerations."

Neal Katyal is a partner at Hogan Lovells in Washington, DC.  He previously served as Acting Solicitor General of the United States and as a law professor at Georgetown University Law Center.  Katyal has argued several cases in the U.S. Supreme Court, including Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006), a constitutional challenge to the military tribunals at Guantanamo.
