Japan foundation touring film programme, has come to Cardiff for the first time with screenings throughout February and March.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapter.org\/japan-foundation-on-tour\">Chapter Arts Centre<\/a> hosted a showing of Her Sketchbook to kick off the Welsh leg of the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In its seventeenth year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpf-film.org.uk\/\">the festival<\/a> showcases the best of Japanese cinema in independent venues across the country \u2013 this year under the theme of happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Her Sketchbook centres on the character of Mami (Mugi Kadowaki), a hikikomori or \u201cshut-in\u201d and her attempts to re-integrate into society.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The film is subtitled, and as the director of Parasite, the Oscar winner for best picture, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/movies\/story\/2020-01-06\/golden-globes-parasite-foreign-film-oscars\">Bong Joon-Ho<\/a> said: \u201cOnce you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Director Masaya Ozaki hosted a Q&amp;A after a screening of his 2017\nfilm.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not actually hikikomori myself but I do have a hikikomori-like personality,\u201d said Mr Ozaki, speaking through a translator. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis film came about because I was wondering whether\nI could make a story about the process of myself, how I lived as a young person\nand how I went about becoming a creator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The Japanese phenomenon of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/news\/2011\/10\/09\/national\/media-national\/nonprofits-in-japan-help-shut-ins-get-out-into-the-open\/#.XkJ7tvZ2uUk\">hikikomori<\/a> is a state of complete social withdrawal and in 2010 it was estimated that 700,000 people were living in a hikikomori state.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think generally speaking for us to survive we do need to be active in society in some way. We do need to have some relationships with other people,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think the people who become hikikomori are people\nwho aren\u2019t able to find those relationships with other people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn this film what I wanted to say was one way to\novercome that is to find something you really love and that that is one\npotential solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Director Ozaki Masaya is very happy to have met and spoken to everyone during his stay and has said that it has been a memorable trip! <br><br>If you missed the Q&amp;As, there are still screenings at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LewesDepot?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LewesDepot<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/firstsite?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@firstsite<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Filmhouse?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Filmhouse<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stamfordarts?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@stamfordarts<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t3zt3bdRac\">https:\/\/t.co\/t3zt3bdRac<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JFTFP20?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#JFTFP20<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wgGqaLsTtn\">pic.twitter.com\/wgGqaLsTtn<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Japan Foundation UK (@jpflondon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jpflondon\/status\/1226823046180343808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 10, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The one thing that Mami loves is drawing and her\ndesigns for characters in a new computer game begin to draw her out of her\nsocial isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut this film is not solving the problem. Some people have\nwatched this and called it fantasy but at the same time I think\nit does offer some hope to people like that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Mark Judd, from Caerleon, said: \u201cIt\u2019s good to see Japan again and Tokyo particularly because I\u2019ve been there many times. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s maybe something [hikikomori] that\u2019s in Britain, the same thing, but it\u2019s certainly not talked about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Heather Eason, from Splott, said: \u201cIt was fascinating because I already knew about the concept of hikikomori. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was interesting to see that made into a more hopeful film and\nalso\nto look at some of the issues that lead to people feeling like they need to\nshut themselves away.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat came out from the film is that everyone is different, and everyone\u2019s\ngot issues of one kind or another whether visible or not and we should all try\nand rub along a bit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought what he [the director] said about the fact that the way out of that is to find something that you enjoy shifts the focus. It\u2019s not about what you do. It\u2019s about what you enjoy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The pair are both fans of Japanese cinema with Mr Judd a fan of Japanese horror films while Ms Eason cited Shoplifters and Our Little Sister as recent Japanese films she enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The festival continues with screenings at Chapter of other Japanese films every Sunday until March 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The festival launched with a screening and Q&amp;A at Chapter The UK\u2019s largest festival of Japanese cinema, the Japan foundation touring film programme, has come to Cardiff for the first time with screenings throughout February and March.
