☆June/JULY 2006☆

14 Voice: Back in Action
Sleep is likely to be in short supply this month
as the country follows Japan’s progress in the
2006 Football World Cup in Germany.
As the team heads to Europe, Jon Day asks
national captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto what the
stalwart defender hopes to take away from
soccer’s glamorous tournament.

20 Home: Common or Garden
Mari Mari, quite contrary, how does your
Japanese garden grow? With large flat stones and
no garden gnomes, and temple tiles all in a row,
writes Stephen Mansfield.

26 Topic: Electic Storm
The government relaxed regulations relating to
the controversial PSE (product safety of electrical
equipment) law at the 11th hour earlier this year,
backing down from implementing legislation that would
have had serious repercussions for second-hand dealers
across the country. How much longer will these popular
neighborhood icons be able to ward off the executioner’s axe?

30 Health: Behind Closed Doors
Why are young people in Japan increasingly electing
to shut themselves away from the rest of the world,
their own flesh and blood included? Alicia Kirby reports…


36 Weekend: Slip Sliding Away
A popular Japanese outdoor pastime offers participants
the chance to get well and truly wet behind the ears,
writes Robert Cameron.



40 People: Phat Magic
Thomasina Larkin stumbles across a local artist
who likes to mix and match.


53 Sport: Final Fantasy
Memorable victories over Russia and Tunisia enabled
Japan to reach the second round of the 2002 Football World Cup
on home soil. Bolstered by an experienced mid-field
combination and more power up front, will the Blues
be able to go one better in Germany? James Sycamore reports…
