  Intersections: Depicting Women: The Memoirs and Documentary Films of Atsugi Taka
Atsugi soon went on to script and film documentaries herself, but it was her misfortune to begin her career in the mid-1930s, just as Japan was embarking on a course of virulent nationalism and militarism.
Atsugi is committed to bonding with the people she is seeking to depict, and the world she must enter is very much a woman's world, a world of mothers, day care providers and children.
Atsugi Taka clearly conceives of her identity as the result of just such a process, and she goes to some lengths to demonstrate how the process is constantly being 'fragmented' and 'disrupted' by the discourses around her.

 13 Royal Maces to fly Super Hornets to Atsugi
The squadron, also known as Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 27, is set to return to Japan on Thursday after four months’ training on the new aircraft at Lemoore Naval Air Station, Calif. The retraining followed a decision to trade the F/A-18C Hornets the squadron had been flying for more-powerful one-seat F/A-18E Super Hornets.
The aviators will land at Atsugi “in waves” every few minutes, be greeted by Air Wing officials and reunite with their families.
The Super Hornets can be a somewhat touchy subject because their added power means increased noise, and Atsugi Naval Air Facility, once remote, now sits in the middle of a populous area.
