Tokyo Escorts: Dancer tackles love across the class divide

client-9 — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 03:36:32 +0000

In 1731, Frenchman Abbe Prevost’s novel “Manon Lescaut” was published and promptly banned for its supposed scandalous content. Pirated editions were popular and the story line has endured over time. On March 10 and 11, the newest version of “Manon Lescaut” will be performed in Tokyo’s Shibuya district as Unit Kimiho celebrates its 10th anniversary in dance.
“Manon Lescaut” recounts the doomed love between the noble le Chevalier des Grieux and courtesan, Manon, and is the basis or inspiration for numerous dramatic productions. Yet, as choreographer Kimiho Hulbert points out: “The original novel includes des Grieux’s best friend who seeks him out after this great tragedy and helps Des Grieux keep on living. I wanted to pick up on these details that are usually ignored — the connections that help us keep on living.”
…
“Manon” will be performed on March 10 (7 p.m.) and March 11 (2 p.m., 6 p.m.) in Sakura Hall at the Shibuya Cultural Center, Owada, in Tokyo. Tickets cost ¥3, 500 to ¥4,500. For details, visit www.kimiho.org.

Minowa station on Tokyo’s Hibiya subway seemed the closest but as there are no English language signs luck is needed to find a tiny alley off Showa Dori that leads to a covered shopping street.
Once common in Tokyo, the covered street is part of the Yoshiwara red-light district, founded in the 17th century and still home to “soaplands” that defy a ban on prostitution.
…
The tram runs mostly on its own right of way lined by perfectly clipped hedges and the tiny backyards of a fascinating low-rise part of Tokyo.

Relax, watch the people get on and off the tram, check out the passing houses and back streets, and simply enjoy a quiet slice of life in Tokyo rarely seen.

In mid-January, Sega locked down a North American release date for Yakuza: Dead Souls, and now Europe’s date with Tokyo-based zombies has finally been scheduled.
Yakuza: Dead Souls will arrive in Europe on March 16, according to Eurogamer. The PlayStation 3-exclusive is coming to North America on March 13, which is plenty of time for seasoned zombie killers to prepare for the impending attack. Already released in Japan under the name Yakuza: Of the End, the sixth game in the cult-hit series throws players into the “infamous red light district of Tokyo” during a zombie outbreak.
Don’t fret, Yakuza fans, because zombies aren’t the only enemy you’ll be facing. Yakuza: Dead Souls will also throw hordes of “merciless” mutants in your path, along with all of those seedy characters from the Japanese underworld. As for possible zombie-infected Hostesses? We’re keen on letting the brain-chomping ladies sit this one out.

Tokyo Escorts: 10 of the best boutique hotels in Tokyo

Tokyo’s original – and best – boutique hotel lies smack in the middle of the city’s design district, in an affluent residential neighbourhood. It’s a bit off the map, but with that comes a taste of Tokyo’s quieter, more livable side. Opened in 2003 in what was then an ageing business hotel (the facade remains), the Claska has stunning Japanese modern rooms with crisp lines and a cool palette; some have private terraces, tatami floors or glass-cased bathrooms. There’s a rooftop terrace and a hip lounge in the lobby that serves an excellent traditional Japanese breakfast; both are popular with locals, too.• 1-3-18 Chuo-cho, Meguro-ku, +81 3 3719 8121, claska.com.

Designed in 1962 by architect Yoshiro Taniguchi, this celebrated Japanese modern hotel sprawls in a way that wouldn’t be possible today. Newer five-star competitors lodged on top of office towers boast that they have so many contemporary art pieces they are practically a museum, but the Okura actually has a museum. …

Tokyo Escorts: The rootless woodblock prints of Kuniyoshi

The problem with this, however, is that it is ultimately an unsatisfying narrative as it merely places the artist behind a curtain of blind adoration that ignores his failings as an artist — some of his pictures are hopelessly cluttered and compositionally weak — as well as the elements that tie him to his era.
Last year’s exhibition at the Fuchu Art Museum connected Kuniyoshi’s inventiveness to censorship laws that were established as part of the Tenpo Reforms of 1842. The implication was that, unable to depict courtesan lovelies and kabuki worthies, he was forced to diversify his output into new genres, and being mercurially talented, he could do this without missing a beat. However, this sounds rather too mechanical, failing to account for Kuniyoshi’s artistic personality and the complex way it interacted with the spirit of the times.

TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police on Tuesday arrested the manager and three employees of a club in the Shibuya entertainment area for violating the Anti-Prostitution Law, reports the Sankei Shimbun (Jan. 27).

TV Asahi reports that Sasaki has denied the allegations. “This is not prostitution,” said the suspect, who relied on a 29-year-old street tout to solicit customers.
According to police, since last February, the club has generated revenue of approximately 30 million yen.
At the time of the arrests, Chinese women were seen inside the apartment keeping company with male customers. The club is located in the Dogenzaka area of Shibuya.
