Japanese ghosts are usually female. Upset females. They are portrayed without feet because they have lost their connection to the earth. They are passionate women on a mission, so filled with love, jealousy or rage; they won&#8217;t go peacefully to into the night. At this event, hear Brenda Wong Aoki tell ghost stories masterfully performed in concert with Asian Jazz pioneer composer Mark Izu. This event also features performances of the koto, sax and shakuhachi (a traditional Japanese bamboo flute).\n<ul>\n<li>Date: <strong>Sunday, Nov. 1<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Time: 2 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>Place: Yoshi\u2019s San Francisco, 1330 Fillmore St., San Francisco<\/li>\n<li>For more information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yoshis.com\/sanfrancisco\/jazzclub\/artist\/show\/945\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.yoshis.com\/sanfrancisco\/jazzclub\/artist\/show\/945<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.us-japan.org\/boston\/Home.html\" target=\"_blank\">JS of Boston<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/dailydujour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/finch1-22-08-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"162\" height=\"129\" \/>Monstrosity after the Bubble: Japanese Visual Culture and Techno-Animism<\/strong> \u2014 Anne Allison, author of Millennial Monsters; Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination, will speak about animist sensibility in postmodern Japan.\n<ul>\n<li>Date: <strong>Friday, Oct. 30<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Time: 6 to 8 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>Place: Tufts University, Sophia Gordon Hall, 15 Talbot Ave., Medford, Massachusetts<\/li>\n<li>For more information: <a href=\"http:\/\/events.tufts.edu\/details.php?eventid=14953&amp;evdate=2009-10-30\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/events.tufts.edu\/details.php?eventid=14953&amp;evdate=2009-10-30<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Does your Japan America Society have an upcoming event that you\u2019d like to share with JetWit readers? <a href=\"mailto:japansociety@jetwit.com\">Email Gail Meadows<\/a> the info.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current Hiroshima-ken JET Gail Meadows, Editor of the Hiroshima JET webzine the Wide Island View, shines a light on some of the upcoming events of Japan America Societies\u2026 JAS of Georgia Young Professionals Horsing Around Picnic \u2014 What did Mr. Ed say to the throat specialist? \u2026 \u201cI\u2019m feeling a little hoarse!\u201d (Sorry, just couldn\u2019t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[102],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-japan-society-round-up"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pkZ7m-2ka","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8938"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8941,"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8938\/revisions\/8941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jetwit.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
