About Japan Society

Japan Society is the premier organization connecting Japanese arts, culture, business and society with audiences in New York and around the world. At Japan Society, we are inspired by the Japanese concept of kizuna (絆)–forging deep connections to bind people together. We are committed to telling the story of Japan while strengthening connections within New York City and building new bridges beyond. In over 100 years of work, we’ve inspired generations by establishing ourselves as pioneers in supporting international exchanges in arts and culture, business, and policy, as well as education between Japan and the U.S. We strive to convene important conversations on topics that bind our two countries together, champion the next generation of innovative creators, promote mutual understanding and serve as a trusted guide for people everywhere who seek to more fully appreciate the rich complexities and abundance of Japan. From our New York headquarters, a landmark building designed by architect Junzo Yoshimura that opened to the public in 1971, we look forward to the years ahead, which will be defined by our digital and ideational impact through the kizuna that we build. Our future can only be enhanced by learning from our peers and engaging with our audiences, both near and far.

Six of the Most Efficient Natural Remedies for Chronic Anxiety

In a world that often feels like it’s spinning faster than we can keep up, chronic anxiety has become a common companion for many. While professional guidance and medication are invaluable for many individuals, there’s also a growing interest in natural remedies that can complement or, in some cases, offer alternative relief. Here are five of the most efficient natural remedies for managing chronic anxiety.

Mindfulness and Meditation

Mindfulness and meditation have soared in popularity, and it’s not without reason. These practices bring a sense of calm and present-mindedness that can be incredibly effective in managing anxiety. Mindfulness teaches you to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, helping to break the cycle of chronic worry. Meditation, on the other hand, provides a structured way to practice this mindfulness, often involving breathing techniques and guided imagery to calm the mind.

Starting with just a few minutes a day can make a significant difference. There are numerous apps and online resources available to help beginners ease into a meditation practice. Remember, it’s not about achieving a perfectly quiet mind but rather about developing a kinder, more patient relationship with your thoughts.

Shrooms 

Recent studies have shown that psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, may offer significant benefits in treating anxiety and depression. Used in controlled, therapeutic settings, psilocybin has been reported to produce profound psychological experiences, leading to long-term reductions in anxiety symptoms. It’s important to note, however, that the use of magic mushrooms is subject to legal restrictions in many areas and should only be considered under the guidance of a licensed healthcare professional. As research continues, this natural remedy shows promise as a powerful tool in the fight against chronic anxiety.

Exercise

The link between physical activity and mental health is well-established. Exercise releases endorphins, known as the body’s natural mood lifters. For those with chronic anxiety, regular exercise can be a powerful tool. It doesn’t necessarily mean hitting the gym or running marathons – even a daily walk, yoga, or a dance session in your living room can be beneficial.

The key is consistency and finding an activity you genuinely enjoy. This enjoyment is crucial because it encourages regular participation, turning exercise into a stress-relieving habit rather than a chore.

Herbal Supplements

Certain herbal supplements have been shown to have calming effects, which can be helpful for those with anxiety. Some of the most popular include:

  • Chamomile: Often consumed as a tea, chamomile is known for its gentle sedative effects.
  • Valerian Root: Frequently used to improve sleep, valerian can also help reduce anxiety.
  • Lavender: The aroma of lavender is incredibly soothing and is often used in aromatherapy for anxiety relief.
  • Ashwagandha: An ancient medicinal herb, ashwagandha is believed to help reduce stress and anxiety.

It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any herbal supplement, as they can interact with other medications and may not be suitable for everyone.

Dietary Adjustments

What we eat significantly impacts our mental health. Certain foods can exacerbate anxiety symptoms, while others can help reduce them. For example, caffeine and sugar can increase feelings of nervousness and anxiety in some people. On the flip side, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like salmon and flaxseeds), magnesium (like leafy greens and legumes), and B vitamins (like eggs and avocados) can be beneficial.

A balanced diet with plenty of whole foods, vegetables, and fruits while minimizing processed foods and sugars can help stabilize mood and improve overall well-being.

Quality Sleep

Never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep when managing anxiety. Sleep and mental health are closely connected. Lack of sleep can aggravate anxiety, while anxiety can make it harder to get a good night’s sleep.

To improve sleep quality:

  • Establish a regular sleep schedule: Go to bed and wake up simultaneously each day.
  • Create a bedtime routine: This could include reading, stretching, or listening to calming music.
  • Optimize your sleep environment: Ensure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool. Use blackout curtains, earplugs, or a white noise machine if necessary.
  • Limit screen time before bed: The blue light from screens can interfere with your ability to fall asleep.

Conclusion

While these natural remedies can be highly effective for managing chronic anxiety, they are part of a holistic approach to mental health. It’s important to remember that what works for one person may not work for another, and severe or persistent anxiety should always be addressed with the help of a healthcare professional.

These remedies are not just about reducing symptoms but about cultivating a lifestyle that supports mental well-being. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, quality sleep, mindfulness practices, and the judicious use of herbal supplements can all play a significant role in managing chronic anxiety, offering a path to a calmer, more balanced life.

TIFFANY’S ARTISAN MENTORSHIP

TIFFANY & CO. JAPAN’S FOCUS ON EXTRAORDINARY ARTISAN MENTORSHIP TO PRESERVE GOLD LEAF MANUFACTURING

Tiffany & Company Japan, in partnership with the World Monuments Foundation continues their journey to foster preservation of Kanazawa’s celebrated gold leaf art scene with a fresh 3 year initiative that focuses on maintaining the art and passing it on to future generartions. The iconic brand proudly launched the “Kanazawa Entsuke Gold Leaf Manufacturing” training program for craftsmen with a view to passing this intricate technique on to the next generation of artisans. The average age of celebrated craftsman is 70, hence the overarching goal to focus on preservation and education to emerging younger artisans.

Kanazawa, whose translation means “gold marsh” has long been hailed as the pinnacle of gold leaf production dating back centuries of years and today, artisans continue to create exquisite blends that are highly labor intensive, using only the finest material and locally sourced materials. The Ensuke technique refers to framed pieces that are derived from a special gold-beating process to transform the leaf to wafer-thin paper sheets that are down to 1/10th of a millimeter. The painstakingly arduous process of maintaining them intact is an art unto itself, and the sheets are then either bound together for books or used as exquisite décor for lacquerware, statues and shrines.

Tiffany & Co.’s new initiative is centered around the preservation of this traditional craft as was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020. Together in partnership with Kanazawa City, the Ishikawa Prefecture, the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the Kanazawa Gold Leaf Traditional Techniques Production Society, 8 hand selected skilled trainees who have gone through rigorous apprenticeship will continue to be guided.

The Tiffany Foundation has long been an avid supporter of WMF’s projects in Japan centered around restoration and preservation of traditional techniques that carry its heritage stories forward.

Giant size hulk via 360 Mag.

GIANT-SIZE HULK

In 2024, Marvel Comics is proudly bringing back GIANT-SIZE comics—more monumental and earth-shaking than ever before!

Honoring the 50th anniversary of the epic Giant-Size storytelling of the 1970s, these new Giant-Size issues will be home to pivotal status quo shifts, exciting first appearances, and dramatic developments each month! Following January’s GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN #1, February’s GIANT-SIZE FANTASTIC FOUR #1, and March’s GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-GWEN #1 comes Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Andrea Broccardo’s GIANT-SIZE HULK #1.

Arriving in April, GIANT-SIZE HULK #1 will fit at home with Johnson’s horror-fueled current run of Incredible Hulk where Bruce Banner is embarking on a soul-crushing journey against supernatural forces. Now comes a showdown with a threat so big that it can only be contained in a giant-size issue! All aboard for  a nonstop fight between the Jade Giant and a terrifying new foe named Patchwork Jack, all taking place amidst an explosive train ride!

Riding the rails is no walk in the park – especially for the INCREDIBLE HULK! And particularly when something – no, someONE – has been stolen from him by a gruesome new threat with evil machinations in mind. Clear the tracks – the HULK is coming through!!!

“The North Star I’ve been following on Incredible Hulk is to make EVERY ISSUE a horror and action showcase for the rockstar artists I’ve been so fortunate to work with,” Johnson explained. “I’ve pulled out all the stops to ensure readers don’t miss out on a single page of this book’s potential: new lore, new monsters, fan-favorite guest appearances from across the Marvel U, the most jaw-dropping fights imaginable, the gnarliest transformations Hulk has ever experienced… I want this to be a run that readers never forget. And when my editors asked for a GIANT-SIZE INCREDIBLE HULK one-shot, I knew we had to ramp all that up even more.

“The story we’re telling in GIANT-SIZE HULK #1 has been in the back of my mind since I started writing the series, just waiting for the right moment to be told,” he continued. “It sums up the horror-driven direction of the book, and features some of the most haunting and explosive visuals we’ve seen so far. It also features the first-ever appearance of a horrifying new character: Patchwork Jack, who I can’t wait for readers to meet. I promise you: no Hulk fan will want to miss this issue.”

Like all of next year’s GIANT-SIZE installments, GIANT-SIZE HULK #1 will boast a cover by superstar artist Bryan Hitch and reprint a classic adventure of its titular star, INCREDIBLE HULK #372. Part of Peter David and Dale Keown’s character-defining run and featuring high-speed action and heartrending drama, it’s a Hulk tale for the ages!

Check out Hitch’s cover and stay tuned for more GIANT-SIZE announcements in the months ahead! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Multi-Grammy-winning talent Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley is a highly acclaimed Jamaican singer, songwriter, and producer.  He is the youngest son of the revered legend Bob Marley. His musical style fuses reggae with elements of dancehall, hip-hop, R&B, and rock, crafting a fresh and modern sound that is uniquely his own. Damian was the first ever Reggae artist to win a GRAMMY AWARD® outside of the Reggae category. The acclaimed 2005 breakthrough disc, Welcome To Jamrock, won a GRAMMY AWARD® for Best Reggae Album, with the New York Times naming the track “the best reggae song of the decade.” In 2010, Marley teamed up with Nas and brother Stephen Marley for his Distant Relatives project and went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem,” which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash-up of dubstep and dancehall.” Which went platinum with over 1 Million copies sold in the United States alone. Following the track’s success, the reggae superstar released his fourth studio album, Stony Hill, resulting in his third GRAMMY AWARD® for Best Reggae Album. In September of 2022, Marley released his fifth studio album, The Kalling, which went on to win Best Reggae Album at the 65th Annual GRAMMY AWARDS®. Most recently, “Jr. Gong” released his rendition of the famed George Harrison track, ‘My Sweet Lord.’.
