In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

 Billionaire envisions low-rent Kahala homes - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
In Kawamoto's vision, a mix of big modern mansions and smaller old homes on 10 adjacent properties would be rented to Native Hawaiians for as little as $100 to $200 a month.
Kawamoto sees his idea as a way to fulfill his long-expressed desire to provide affordable housing in Hawai'i and give him a more favorable legacy than the one he's developed since he bought roughly 160 O'ahu homes with "pocket change" in the late 1980s.
Kawamoto said he expects objections from neighbors concerned about museums and cheap rentals degrading their property values, but he said they can move if they are unhappy.

 Kawamoto rental plan raises hopes - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
Kawamoto, in an Advertiser interview on Monday, appeared sincere in floating his idea that also includes turning five of his 18 homes on the same street into public museums displaying his art collection, though the eccentric investor has announced previous affordable housing plans in Hawai'i that he has not realized.
Kawamoto also has yet to formulate a process to select renters, saying that he planned to discuss this issue with leaders of Native Hawaiian organizations.
Kawamoto also said that renting 10 of the 18 homes he has bought there since 2002 and converting five others into public museums would be a way to shape his legacy in Hawai'i.

 SF Station: THE PUPPET ANIMATION OF KIHACHIRO KAWAMOTO:
It was on the advice of puppet master and filmmaker JirĂ­ Trnka, with whom he briefly studied in Prague, that Kawamoto turned to Japan's aesthetic traditions for his subject matter.
Drawing on ancient legends and contemporary short novels, as well as Noh, Kabuki, and Bunraku doll theater, Kawamoto's haunting, poetic films speak of passion and loss, and worlds populated by ghosts and demons.
Kawamoto returned to Trnka's animation studio in Prague to make To Shoot Without Shooting (Fusha no sha) (1988, 25 mins), based on a story by Atsushi Nakajima; and the exquisite yet unconventionally told fairy tale Briar-Rose, or the Sleeping Beauty (Ibarahime mata manemurihime) (1990, 22 mins).

 Kihachiro Kawamoto
Born in 1925, from an early age Kihachiro Kawamoto was captivated by the art of doll and puppet making.
In 1958, he co-founded Shiba Productions to make commercial animation for television, but it was not until 1963, when he traveled to Prague to study puppet animation under Jiri Trnka for a year, that his puppets truly began to take on a life of their own.
Trnka encouraged Kawamoto to draw on his own country's rich cultural heritage in his work, and so Kawamoto returned from Czechoslovakia to make a series of highly individual, independently-produced artistic short works, beginning with Breaking of Branches is Forbidden (Hana-Ori) in 1968.
