	Saburo Kato - 1996 Japan/U.S. Seminar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Kenji Miyazawa is now in Japan one of the most popular authors in Japan, not necessarily only in the modern history of Japan.
		But what Kenji is saying is to eat 4 cups of rough rice a day, with a bean soup and a bit of vegetables.
		My thought is that perhaps Kenji's philosophy could be incorporated in some way into the formation of the sustainable way of life towards the 21st century.

	Miyazawa Kenji
		Miyazawa Kenji was born in 1896 in the Iwate Prefecture, and was only 37 when he died.
		Kenji's father, however, was a fairly affluent pawnbroker, but Kenji felt guilty that his family's wealth came from exploiting the poverty of others.
		His popularity has continued to increase but although Miyazawa Kenji has become one of the most widely read literary figures in Japan, unfortunately he is still little known overseas.

	DVD Times - Spring and Chaos
		Kenji no Haru, or 'Kenji's Spring') is unique in being the only biographical animé to emulate the artistic style of the person whose life it seeks to depict.
		Miyazawa — born to successful, business-minded parents — could not reconcile his suspicion that the family shop benefited from the hard luck of the lower classes, and eventually set out to focus on a career in education and to pursue his own artistic endeavours.
		That Miyazawa was very much aware of this and yet still chose in the end to relinquish his comfortable teaching job and take up farming among the peasant populace gives some indication of his own moral outlook on life.

		Miyazawa was an author who was largely misunderstood during the time when he was alive, but is now, after his death, one of the most popular and loved writers throughout Japan.
		The anime shows Kenji as an adult, starting with his days of teaching students who were awed by his "different" methods of teaching.
		Miyazawa's life was arguably one of the most eventful in such a short period of time.

	Who is Miyazawa Kenji?
		Just as Japan was embarking on her rapid journey toward modernization, Miyazawa Kenji was busy putting down deeper roots in the remote rural setting from which he created a wealth of literature whose universality would someday touch the hearts of people all over the world.
		For Kenji, this was not just an idea: walking over the hills and fields, he would often lose himself entirely in the contemplation of animals, plants, rocks, the wind, clouds, rainbows, or the stars.
		eaders are able to perceive in Miyazawa Kenji's prolific works his views on the arrogance of modern man toward nature; the interconnection of man, animated nature, the earth, and the universe; and the pathway to a new cosmology.

	Welcome to the GameVortex
		Miyazawa lived a simple life in North Eastern rural Japan, going from an academic career to the fields.
		The DVD is a quality production, with interviews that help you get inside the mind of Kenji Miyazawa and how he was brought to the screen.
		The fact that Miyazawa was not understood in his own time and only gained prominence after his death only makes the effort put into this DVD so much more worthwhile.

		He loved his native province, and the name of the fictional location that appeared in his works was constructed from the name "Iwate".
		This interest is paid tribute to in the 1985 anime adaption of Ginga tetsudō no yoru (Night on the Galatic Railroad), in which all signs in Giovanni and Campanella's world are written in Esperanto, as well as the written language of the "cats".

	Vision of Ihatov: Kenji's Spring
		Despite being celebrated as a cultural icon in his native country, Miyazawa Kenji is still relatively unknown outside Japan.
		Kenji later returns to his family home where he faced his disappointed father and ailing sister before recommitting himself to his teachings and writings.
		From the stunningly computer-generated galactic railroad which ferries Kenji's sister away in the opening credits to the re-enactment of dramatic scenes from his writings via boldly animated pencil sketches, this animated tribute leaves viewers both breathless and wonderstruck.

	VOICES 4(2)-Kenji Miyazawa: "Gorsch the Cellist"
		Miyazawa (1896-1933) was a unique poet and writer of children's tales who is most popular and respected among the Japanese people from young to old.
		He was born in Hanamaki, studied at Morioka Agricultural High School (both in Iwate Prefecture, located in the North-East of Japan) and spent his life with farmers.
		However the works he left behind were discovered later and highly appreciated because of Miyazawa's deep spirit.

	Sequential Tart - The Report Card
		CG is used to portray the sudden periods of inspiration that gave rise to a fantastic, utopian alternate world from which he drew his poetry and stories.
		Miyazawa's run-of-the-mill world erupts into surreal dreamscapes, neon birdflight and a clockwork earth and he strives to capture it with words before it disappears.
		Kawamori chose to portray Miyazawa and the rest of the human population as cats and dogs; the anthropomorphic animals are graceful and surprisingly expressive.

	Kenji Miyazawa
		Miyazawa's mix of East and West begins with the names of the two young characters of the story: Jovanni (Giovanni) and Kanpanera (Campanella).
		This imaginary festival occurs in August, and in the story, Miyazawa images children running and scampering, yelling that Centaurus is "dropping dew" [no doubt, a somewhat misplaced reference to the Perseids].
		Sadly, Miyazawa's own younger sister died two years before he began writing this story, and many believe that this formed the basis not only for the ending, but also the emphasis on "relationship".

	MIT Media Lab: Ishii Momentum
		In that book, the conflict in Kenji's heart as he tried to overcome the death of his most beloved sister was expressed in evenly-spaced 9-point type; this was his "poetry"—or so I long thought.
		What I saw in the Miyazawa Kenji museum in Hanamaki, though, was an entirely foreign "Last Farewell." In the handwritten manuscript I saw, for each phrase written there seemed to be a re-writing, for every erasure, a new addition.
		Kenji's manuscript helped me to identify what is most important in the design of digital media for humans.

	GreenCine \| product main - Spring and Chaos (2001)
		Spring and Chaos was originally released in Japan in 1996 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Miyazawa's birth in rural Iwate Prefecture.
		Spring and Chaos tells the story of Kenji's tragically short life and his struggle to be true to his art and himself.
		Director Shoji Kawamori (Macross, Arjuna, Escaflowne) creates an almost surreal retelling of the most creative period of Miyazawa's life, when he was a schoolteacher, geologist and agriculturalist in his rural hometown.

		Kenji meets many of the newly departed on his journey, but only he will be allowed to return to Earth, where he dreams of being reunited with his father.
		Miyazawa uses a wealth of literary, scientific, and religious allusion to depict a universe that is sad yet miraculous.
		It is an inspiring tale of two young boys on a trip through the cosmos as one of them learns to deal with social ostracism (ijime), a missing father, the death of his best friend -- and finally with the meaning of life.

	Anime News Network - Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A country bohemian from the Japanese countryside who wrote during the 1920's, Miyazawa wrote many stories, and there have been several anime adaptions: Night on the Galactic Railroad was animated in 1983 (with all the characters mysteriously being in cat form) and released by Central Park Media in 1993.
		Gauche the Cellist was animated a few years ago as well, and Group TAC animated his life story, Kenji's Spring, in 1997, which was licensed by Mixx (who has yet to do anything with it besides badly dub it and retitle it "Spring & Chaos").
		Finally, Tadanari Okamoto's short rework of Miyazawa's short story (published here as "Restaurant of Many Orders") is seen in America as part of a compilation of fairly rare Japanese animated shorts on display at several film school venues across the country, sponsored by the Japan Foundation.

	Untitled
		The makers of the film decided to have all the writing in the film (including the chapter titles and credits) appear in Esperanto -- this apparently was in keeping with the author's approval of Esperanto and the eclectically spiritual nature of the story.
		This is because they left the names of the main characters as Miyazawa wrote them (and every Japanese schoolchild knew them) -- Giovanni and Campanello.
		Of course, to a Japanese child, these names are quite exotic and foreign, but to an American, they are obviously and thoroughly Italian, and many people in the audience I saw it with simply assumed that the Esperanto was some odd dialect of Italian.

		A brief history lesson: Miyazawa was born in 1896 to a well-to-do family; his father owned a pawnshop.
		It’s also striking that Kenji, his family, friends and students are all depicted as bipedal cats (as if they stepped completely from one of his fairy tales).
		Gripping a pencil and notebook with feverish intensity, Kenji composes as a flight of birds leaps into the air.
