		<description><![CDATA[If you were to Google image search &#8220;Cultural Revolution,&#8221; you would find image after image of China&#8217;s &#8220;Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution,&#8221; otherwise known as the Cultural Revolution, started by communist Mao Tse Tung, Chairman of the China Communist Party in 1966. Its goal was to enforce socialism in the country by removing capitalist, traditional and cultural elements from Chinese society, and to impose Maoist orthodoxy within the Party. The movement further resulted in smaller factions of competing power. Millions of people were persecuted in the violent factional struggles that ensued across the country and suffered a wide range of abuses including public humiliation, arbitrary imprisonment, torture, sustained harassment and seizure of property. A large segment of the population was forcibly displaced, most notably the transfer of urban youth to rural regions during the Down to the Countryside Movement. Historical relics and artifacts were destroyed. Cultural and religious sites were ransacked. The Cultural Revolution was officially declared to be over in 1969, with most of the Maoist reforms associated with the Cultural Revolution abandoned by 1978. As we look at Japan and its culture, one thing stands clear: Japan has a very strong identity, etched in time through various moments in history, behavioral expectations, religious influence from neighboring Korea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Viking バイキング Viking! As you all know, they were the Scandinavian seafarers, attacking ships and foreign shores in their dragon boats from the 8th to the 11th century. If not taken by surprise, in Japan &#8220;Viking&#8221; is an &#8220;all-you-can-eat&#8221; style restaurant, and this denomation has been in use for over 50 years. But why on earth are all-you-can-eat style restaurants called &#8220;Viking&#8221; in Japan? The Beginning of Viking The story begins in 1957 when Mr. Tetsuzo Inumaru, who was the manager of the Imperial Hotel back then, took a trip to Denmark. Mr. Inumaru encountered a smorgasbord* restaurant in Copenhagen. Scarcely had he seen this style, when he knew with rock-solid certainty that this would become a major hit in Japan. He soon instructed Mr. Nobuo Murakami to study what dishes could be served. At that time, Mr. Murakami was still under training at the Ritz in Paris, and later became a chef de cuisine in the Imperial Hotel. However, there was one problem. For Japanese people, the word &#8220;smorgasbord&#8221; was quite difficult to pronounce, as well as hard to relate themselves to. Therefore, Mr. Inumaru asked his staff members to suggest names better suited for this novelty smorgasbord restaurant. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year, I was afforded the opportunity to do something I have always thought would be fun: to become Santa Claus. It was an extra special blessing because this is our first Christmas in Japan.   Not only are we far from our loved ones but we are also far from the Christian nativity icons that we would usually see in America at Christmastime. Japan is largely non-religious when it comes to Christmas. It is more or less a &#8220;Hallmark holiday,&#8221; that comes and just as quickly goes with expensive Christmas cards and a handful of gift ideas. It is filled with LED Christmas lights at high prices and little variety. Christmas is certainly not sentimental here by any means, at least to most Japanese. So how can we bring Jesus into the picture where Jesus is not found in most places?  That is the need and the challenge. Not without some debate perhaps, but using a Christian icon (yes, Santa is based on a real person, Bishop St. Nicholas) familiar to those who do not know Christ seemed like a great way to introduce the love of Christ. And so we did &#8212; and we will some more. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read a lot of blogs, but really I just skim them.  Many are opinionated and point fingers at people to blame or find fault. Many claim to be experts in this or that. Some feel qualified to use their blogs as tutorials or educational depots. May I first say that I do not like my writing to be construed as a virtual finger pointer, nor do I claim to be an expert in anything &#8212; so please understand that when I write it is for me as much as I hope it is for you. I recently looked back at the number of articles I have written for this website and a few other, which totals over 110 in the past 2 years. Not that any number is significant, but as I looked through the articles I realized that some were very well thought through, and some were inspired by a moment in time. Some were just plain fun (ie, &#8220;Why Zatoichi is Great&#8220;). As one of the millions of bloggers out there in the world, I do not normally value my writing as something most people should not live without. However today, I have something that I find worth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bishop St. Nicholas, early American St. Nick, &#38; American Santa, from Santa Claus Comes to America, by Caroline Singer &#38; Cyrus Baldridge, Alfred Knopf, 1942 How did the kindly Christian saint, good Bishop Nicholas, become a roly-poly red-suited American symbol for merry holiday festivity and commercial activity? History tells the tale. The first Europeans to arrive in the New World brought St. Nicholas. Vikings dedicated their cathedral to him in Greenland. On his first voyage, Columbus named a Haitian port for St. Nicholas on December 6, 1492. In Florida, Spaniards named an early settlement St. Nicholas Ferry, now known as Jacksonville. However, St. Nicholas had a difficult time during the 16th century Protestant Reformation which took a dim view of saints. Even though both reformers and counter-reformers tried to stamp out St. Nicholas-related customs, they had very little long-term success except in England where the religious folk traditions were permanently altered. (It is ironic that fervent Puritan Christians began what turned into a trend to a more secular Christmas observance.) Because the common people so loved St. Nicholas, he survived on the European continent as people continued to place nuts, apples, and sweets in shoes left beside beds, on windowsills, or before the hearth. &#8220;New Year&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; St. Nicholas Artist: Susan Seals All rights reserved Exclusive print in our shop The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in the village of Patara. At the time the area was Greek and is now on the southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesus&#8217; words to &#8220;sell what you own and give the money to the poor,&#8221; Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships. Under the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who ruthlessly persecuted Christians, Bishop Nicholas suffered for his faith, was exiled and imprisoned. The prisons were so full of bishops, priests, and deacons, there was no room for the real criminals—murderers, thieves and robbers. After his release, Nicholas attended the Council of Nicaea in AD 325. He died December 6, AD 343 in Myra and was buried in [...]]]></description>
