 Inoue Yasushi Award event - November 9 (Friday)

AJS-NSW is pleased to support this annual cultural event at which the Inoue Yasushi Award is presented to a scholar of Japanese culture.

In 2018 the awardee is Dr. Roy Starrs of the University of Otago, New Zealand, author of Deadly Dialectics: Sex, Violence, and Nihilism in the World of Yukio Mishima.

The Inoue Yasushi Award was established in 2006 (Australia-Japan Year of Exchange) at the University of Sydney by the Inoue Yasushi Memorial Foundation/Inoue Family and Masanori Ohtani of Sydney (a Board member of AJS-NSW). Dr. Mats Karlsson of the University of Sydney will MC.

This year's cultural program will see a screening of the movie Mishima, A Life in Four Chapters (1985).

Produced by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas, with Mishima portrayed by Ken Ogata, the film is based on the life and work of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima. it interweaves episodes from Mishima’s life with dramatizations of segments from his books The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, Kyoko’s House, and Runaway Horses.
