Kyoto Journal's Interview Article

Kyoto Journal's writer Jean Miyake Downey did an interview article with me.

KJ Online Special
“We Need to Eliminate War in Our Own Minds” – An interview with Satoko Norimatsu of Vancouver Save Article 9

The topics covered include Article 9, peace education, the Open Letter action, historical reconciliation in Asia, nuclear abolition, etc. The article, to me, has become a lot bigger than Jean and myself. Getting to know and working with Jean has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Jean Downey is a writer who has written the following articles for Japan Focus:

Into the Atomic Sunshine: Shinya Watanabe’s New York and Tokyo Exhibition on Post-War Art Under Article 9

Satsuki Ina's From a Silk Cocoon, Japanese-American Incarceration Resistance Narratives, and the Post 9/11 Era Satsuki Ina's From a Silk Cocoon, Japanese-American Incarceration Resistance Narratives, and the Post 9/11 Era

Also, I was happy that she found a Japan Times article about late Shuichi Kato, whose influence is always behind everything I do.

Pacifist, cultural critic Kato remembered

Love and peace,

Satoko
