*** What is the company like? ***

I’ve been teaching at this school for nearly four years and want the best teacher for my students. I know there are a lot of jobs available but if you think you are a qualified teacher, just that bit better than the rest and know that you could get a job anywhere you liked, then this is the position for you. The school is small enough to be very personal, the staffs are friendly and fun to work with, the classes are small and the teaching materials are excellent.
Each class is taught by you and a Japanese coordinator. The lesson planning is shared between teacher and coordinator to ensure top quality and progressive lessons. Our focus is on providing moments for the children to speak English. Are you a teacher that can draw English out by giving opportunities where a child has to say something? This is what we want to see! Are you willing to build on your teaching experience and learn new ideas, can you leave your ego at the door and accept advice? If so we want you to apply.
Nissait has expectations of top quality teaching. We know what it takes to be a good English teacher and how to give children a fun, entertaining lesson. This is a great job at what I consider the best English school for children in Tokyo.
Good luck

Many Japanese women find their career success in hostessing, which they are not able to find in any other career fields. Many salary men visit hostessing bars at night to hang out with the hostesses. A hostess entertains her customers by keeping them in company, talking to them, boosting their ego, and flirting with them. While more and more Japanese population is accepting hostessing as a legitimate career, no one seems to realize the flaws in the phenomenon. (examiner.com)

Carolina Raquel Antich "Nightfall"

at Art-U room

Media: Painting

(2009-11-27 - 2009-12-20)
Opening Reception on 2009-11-27 from 18:00 to 20:30

Carolina Raquel Antich was born in Rosario, Argentina in 1970. She moved to Italy in the late 1990s and is currently based in Venice, where she works mostly as a painter. She won the Italian Youth Art Prize in 2005, and exhibited at the 51st Venice Biennale. In recent years she has held solo shows in New York, London and Lugano, and exhibited at the Rome Quadriennale in 2008.

Antich’s work often features pre-pubescent children - slender youths getting excited over war games, or portraits of girls whose expressions betray an ego that is just starting to awaken. These paintings not only reflect the innocence and artlessness of childhood, but also a fickle emotional temperament that can sometimes turn into savagery or perversity.

Her previous solo show held at Art-U Room in 2007 featured mostly works with a restrained palette and sense of translucency, but here Antich has chosen to employ more vivid colors that recall illusionary landscapes that seem to have come out of a child’s dream.

Miyuki Ishiguro "She Saw"

at Up Field Gallery

It was September 11th, 2001, when my niece was born. That very day, airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers.

Since then, something has radically changed within me. Liberally interpreted, my view of life and death. More simply put, a feeling of affection toward kids, with whom I was not too good up until then. While my niece and I are of course blood related, I feel at times that she resembles me more than her parents, to the point where I recognize her as my alter ego.

It was when I had such a realization that I started shooting my niece, as if parents take snapshots of their kids. Then this process began to carry a meaning when I realized that I was actually seeing myself through the act of seeing her.

Through my niece, I am reliving my childhood memories and experiences, which now shape the core of my existence.
