He, his wife and his 85-year-old mother fled their home after a magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck Saturday at 1:25 a.m., just 28 hours after a magnitude-6.5 quake hit the same area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Army troops and other rescuers, using military helicopters to reach some stranded at a mountain resort, rushed Saturday to try to reach scores of trapped residents in hard-hit communities near Kumamoto, a city of 740,000 on the southwestern island of Kyushu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heavy rain started falling Saturday night, threatening to complicate the relief operation and set off more mudslides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Daytime today is the big test\" for rescue efforts, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said early Saturday. Landslides had already cut off roads and destroyed bridges, slowing down rescuers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 200,000 homes were without electricity, Japanese media reported, and an estimated 400,000 households were without running water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kumamoto prefectural official Riho Tajima said that more than 200 houses and other buildings had been either destroyed or damaged, and that 91,000 people had evacuated from their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of people lined up for rations at distribution points before nightfall, bracing for the rain and strong winds that were expected. Local stores quickly ran out of stock and shuttered their doors, and people said they were worried about running out of food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police in Kumamoto prefecture said that at least 32 people had died from Saturday morning's earthquake. Nine died in the quake on Thursday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half the deaths were in Mashiki, a town on the eastern border of Kumamoto city that was hit hardest by the first quake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Japan's Kyodo news agency reported that four people were missing in Minamiaso, a more rural area farther east of Kumamoto where the landslides were triggered by the second quake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One landslide tore open a mountainside in Minamiaso from the top to a highway below. Another gnawed at a highway, above a smashed house that had fallen down a ravine. In another part of the village, houses were hanging precariously at the edge of a huge hole cut open in the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 1,500 people were injured in the two earthquakes, said Yoshihide Suga, the Japanese government's top spokesman. He said the number of troops in the area was being raised to 20,000, while additional police and firefighters were also on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mashiki, where people were trapped beneath the rubble for hours, an unconscious 93-year-old woman, Yumiko Yamauchi, was dragged out from the debris of her home Saturday and taken by ambulance to a hospital. Her son-in-law Tatsuhiko Sakata said she had refused to move to shelter with him after the first quake Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I came to see her last night, I was asking her: 'Mother? I'm here! Do you remember me? Do you remember my face?' She replied with a huge smile filled with joy. A kind of smile that I would never forget. And that was the last I saw of her,\" Sakata said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Japanese TV showed a collapsed student dormitory at Aso city's Tokai University that was originally two floors, but now looked like a single-story building. A witness said he heard a cry for help from the rubble. Two students were reported to have died there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The area has been rocked by aftershocks. The Japan Meteorological Agency said the magnitude-7.3 quake early Saturday may have been the main one, with the one from Thursday night a precursor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tanaka, the man spending the night in his car with others in Ozu, had spent Friday starting to clean up the mess from the first earthquake, hoping the aftershocks would gradually subside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then came the big one, which was so powerful I couldn't even stand on my feet. It was horrifying,\" he said, adding that when he left, his house was tilted at an angle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Rothery, professor of planetary geosciences at The Open University in Britain, said Saturday's quake was 30 times more powerful than the one Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is unusual but not unprecedented for a larger and more damaging earthquake to follow what was taken to be the main event,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rothery noted that in March 2011, a magnitude-7.2 earthquake in northern Japan was followed two days later by the magnitude-9.0 quake that caused a devastating tsunami that killed more than 18,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mount Aso, near the village of Minamiaso, erupted Saturday for the first time in a month, sending smoke rising about 100 meters (328 feet) into the air, but no damage was reported. It was not clear whether there was a link between the quakes and the eruption. The 1,592-meter (5,223-foot) -high mountain is about a 90-miniute drive from the epicenter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second earthquake seriously damaged historic Aso Shrine, a picturesque complex near the volcano. A number of buildings with curved tiled roofs were flattened on the ground like lopsided fans.

That wasn't quite the answer Steven was looking for, but that did give him some time to figure out more about the boat. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After removing a few of the barnacles, he saw some Japanese symbols.

The damage was so severe that the small fishing town of Rikuzentakata was nearly flattened with 80 percent of it destroyed and more than 1,600 people dead. Almost five years have passed and the city is still recovering, but thanks to a few high school students on California's North Coast, a little bit of hope has emerged from some recovered tsunami debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started at a beach in Crescent City.

Crescent City has a long history with tsunamis. One nearly destroyed the town in 1964, and in 2011 part of its harbor was damaged from the same Japanese tsunami when it moved across the Pacific.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few more people found out about the boat, including Humboldt State University geologist Lori Dengler. She recognized the boat's origins because she studied recovery efforts after the 2011 tsunami and earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew where it had come from. I had seen the city before, and I recognized that this was just an extraordinary connection,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler submitted paperwork to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Japanese Consulate. She also used social media to find out if anyone wanted Kamome back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I did was just post a little note on the Facebook page. It said, 'We found this boat, It says Takata High School. Is it by any chance your boat?' ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when she informally met Amya Miller, the global public relations director for Rikuzentakata, who happened to be on the Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I write back to Lori and say, ‘Yes this is our boat.' And that's how this incredible journey began.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler was ecstatic to receive a reply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting that message just sent chills up and down my spine. I jumped up in the air, pumped my fist up and said, “YES! We've connected!' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also realized that Kamome was more than just tsunami debris. For Rikuzentakata, this boat was a glimmer of hope for the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamome eventually returned to Japanese shores, thanks to the NOAA and the Japanese Consulate. It was transported on a freighter via the Port of San Francisco. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">City officials from Rikuzentakata greeted the boat at the docks in October 2013, and as part of the celebration Takata High invited John Steven and his friends -- who had cleaned the boat -- to visit them in Japan. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10798112\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/19/tsunami-boat-creates-ties-between-crescent-city-and-japanese-fishing-town/rs17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10798112\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10798112\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Del Norte High School and Takata High School students connect. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Del Norte High School and Takata High School students connect. \u003ccite>(Humboldt State Kamome Gallery)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John remembers meeting with Takata High School students in February 2014.

Allen points to a nearly identical antique kimono displayed across the exhibit hall, “probably made for a member of the military elite, the wife of a samurai.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the fashions of the prostitutes of the Yoshiwara could be as influential in 17th century Japan as those the world saw recently at the Academy Awards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scroll, Allen says, focuses on the glamour and the seduction. The exploitative economics of the Yoshiwara were not so pretty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now we’re starting to walk by a series of latticed showrooms,” Allen says, “where the women sat -- not the most elite courtesans, but the lower levels. They sat on display; basically, it’s a showroom. so you can see men peering through the lattices, chatting up the women, and the women lined up inside playing musical instruments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scroll and all but a few pictures in “Seduction” are not explicit. Allen says the scroll and other images were a conscious attempt by the artists to create an alternate reality of life in the Yoshiwara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it’s not unlike our modern-day marketing in which images of beautiful women are used to sell jewelry, trips to Las Vegas and other entertainments,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's really a paradox at the heart of this show, which is that the Yoshiwara, the pleasure quarter, inspired an explosion of creative expression in Japan in the 17th and 18th centuries,\" Allen says. \"We wanted to find a way of exploring that theme, while casting a light on the very harsh conditions under which the women lived.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the women who came to the Yoshiwara, Allen said, had no choice about their work: They were sold by their families at a young age to the brothel owners and forced to work in the brothels under 10-year contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it was not a good situation.” Allen says. “Venereal disease, unwanted pregnancies, were all rampant in the Yoshiwara. None of that is suggested in any of the artwork, which was produced for the male patrons of the quarter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important,” she add, “to acknowledge the great beauty of these creations, while still holding in mind the very difficult lives of the women portrayed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moronobu’s scroll features fine details and bold fields of color, styles later perfected by Japanese artists making woodblock prints, often with similar subjects. Those images would later inspire French Impressionists like Degas and Monet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen said the show offers a poignant history lesson, one the museum is encouraging school groups as well as adults to learn from.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Exhibit highlights aesthetics of Japanese pleasure district -- and realities beneath beautiful surface.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1424997682,"stats":{"hasAudio":true,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":25,"wordCount":843},"headData":{"title":"Asian Art Museum's 'Floating World' Show: Glamour, Seduction and STDs | KQED","description":"Exhibit highlights aesthetics of Japanese pleasure district -- and realities beneath beautiful surface.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Asian Art Museum's 'Floating World' Show: Glamour, Seduction and STDs","datePublished":"2015-02-27T14:00:43.000Z","dateModified":"2015-02-27T00:41:22.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"10444018 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=10444018","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/27/asian-art-museums-floating-world-show-glamour-seduction-and-stds/","disqusTitle":"Asian Art Museum's 'Floating World' Show: Glamour, Seduction and STDs","customPermalink":"2015/02/27/asian-art-museums-floating-world-show-glamour-seduction-and-stds/","path":"/news/10444018/asian-art-museums-floating-world-show-glamour-seduction-and-stds","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>It may be an uncomfortable thought, but the brothels and prostitutes of 17th century Edo -- now Tokyo -- have inspired some of the world’s most beautiful art and fashion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.asianart.org/exhibitions_index/seduction\" target=\"_blank\">\"Seduction: Japan’s Floating World\"\u003c/a> is a new show at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.asianart.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Asian Art Museum\u003c/a>, curated by the museum's Japan expert, \u003ca href=\"http://sfaq.us/2012/07/a-conversation-with-dr-laura-allen-newly-appointed-curator-of-japanese-art-at-the-asian-art-museum-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\">Laura Allen\u003c/a>.

Allen points to a nearly identical antique kimono displayed across the exhibit hall, “probably made for a member of the military elite, the wife of a samurai.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the fashions of the prostitutes of the Yoshiwara could be as influential in 17th century Japan as those the world saw recently at the Academy Awards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scroll, Allen says, focuses on the glamour and the seduction. The exploitative economics of the Yoshiwara were not so pretty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now we’re starting to walk by a series of latticed showrooms,” Allen says, “where the women sat -- not the most elite courtesans, but the lower levels. They sat on display; basically, it’s a showroom. so you can see men peering through the lattices, chatting up the women, and the women lined up inside playing musical instruments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scroll and all but a few pictures in “Seduction” are not explicit. Allen says the scroll and other images were a conscious attempt by the artists to create an alternate reality of life in the Yoshiwara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it’s not unlike our modern-day marketing in which images of beautiful women are used to sell jewelry, trips to Las Vegas and other entertainments,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's really a paradox at the heart of this show, which is that the Yoshiwara, the pleasure quarter, inspired an explosion of creative expression in Japan in the 17th and 18th centuries,\" Allen says. \"We wanted to find a way of exploring that theme, while casting a light on the very harsh conditions under which the women lived.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the women who came to the Yoshiwara, Allen said, had no choice about their work: They were sold by their families at a young age to the brothel owners and forced to work in the brothels under 10-year contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it was not a good situation.” Allen says. “Venereal disease, unwanted pregnancies, were all rampant in the Yoshiwara. None of that is suggested in any of the artwork, which was produced for the male patrons of the quarter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important,” she add, “to acknowledge the great beauty of these creations, while still holding in mind the very difficult lives of the women portrayed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moronobu’s scroll features fine details and bold fields of color, styles later perfected by Japanese artists making woodblock prints, often with similar subjects. Those images would later inspire French Impressionists like Degas and Monet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen said the show offers a poignant history lesson, one the museum is encouraging school groups as well as adults to learn from.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10444018/asian-art-museums-floating-world-show-glamour-seduction-and-stds","authors":["32"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_223"],"tags":["news_1011"],"featImg":"news_10444072","label":"news_6944"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
