Zindies Editorial Meeting Vol.1
Theme: '(TBD)' Zindies editorial meetings are gatherings of people who make Zindies, held in a corner of a bookstore or café. Although they're called "meetings," some sessions end up as casual chats. There's little structure or agenda, but there will probably be seats. At the editorial meeting we do things like: ・Talk about and make decisions on various matters related to Zindies. If you'd like to do something together, please come. ・Consult on how to create and distribute ZINEs. If you want to make one but don't know how, bring that feeling; if you already make them, bring a copy you're proud of. You won't be forced to speak. It's fine to come just to watch people who make Zindies talk. You can arrive and leave partway through. People who come can call themselves members of the Zindies editorial team from that day (one of the few perks). You can drop in without a reservation, but if you think you might come, pressing "Join" will make the organizers happy. -

Introduction to the Yukaku for Beginners — Part 3: Nagoya's Yukaku and the Oiran Procession — Perspectives on the Yukaku
Saturday, January 9, 2027 13:00〜15:00This session is a special program. We will be joined by Harumi Kato, author of "Living the Yukaku / Remembering the Yukaku" (published by Hitsuji Shobo). "Oiran processions" are held across the country. While they have become popular as symbols of yukaku culture, they may simply capture a glamorous aspect of a particular era and not reflect the realities of the yukaku since the modern period. How did this event spread, and how has it been received by the public? We will examine records and sources from prewar Nagoya to consider the actual circumstances.26 participants -

Literature Seminar: Walking the Horizons of Kenji Miyazawa
Thursday, January 21, 2027 19:00〜20:30Would you like to walk, now, in the world Kenji Miyazawa once gazed upon? In his poems and children’s tales unfold the land of Iwate, the starry sky, the wind and the light. And the gaze toward the people who live there――. In Miyazawa’s works a distinctive world spreads in which nature and humanity, science and faith, life and death resonate with one another. Guided by Professor Masataka Ota, this literature seminar traces the words of the works and leads to the “horizon” Kenji Miyazawa looked toward. It is a literary course that both longtime readers of Miyazawa and those who would like to start reading him can enjoy.
