Her graduation work\, the short film The Town of Whales won the Grand Prize at the 2012 Pia Film Festival (PFF)\, and was shown at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival\, the 17th Busan International Film Festival\, and many other film festivals around the world. In 2012\, she began studying directing at Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School of Film and New Media.

In 2006 she won the Oda Sakunosuke Prize for her novel Tsūtenkaku (Tower to Heaven)\, and in 2012 she received the Kawai Hayao Prize for the novel Fukuwarai (Funny Face). Her monumental 2014 novel Saraba!\, in which the action roves across all of the places where she has lived\, from Iran to Egypt and Osaka to Tokyo\, garnered her the prestigious Naoki Prize.

Therefore\, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto are holding an online networking meeting to provide an opportunity for those who are working hard in different areas to discuss and learn from each others’ experiences. \nThe 8th session will include presentations and Q&A from learners who have studied Japanese language education as a heritage language. \nAnyone who lives in Canada and is interested is welcome to attend.

Did he see a ghost? Things get even stranger when he shows up to school the next day to see the very same figure sitting in his classroom. No one else thinks it’s weird\, and\, even though Kazu doesn’t remember ever seeing her before\, they all seem convinced that the ghost-girl Akari has been their friend for years! \nWhen Kazu’s summer project to learn about Kimyo Temple draws the meddling attention of his mysterious neighbor Ms. Minakami and his secretive new classmate Akari\, Kazu soon learns that not everything is as it seems in his hometown. Kazu discovers that Kimyo Temple is linked to a long forgotten legend about bringing the dead to life\, which could explain Akari’s sudden appearance—is she a zombie or a ghost? Kazu and Akari join forces to find and protect the source of the temple’s power. An unfinished story in a magazine from Akari’s youth might just hold the key to keeping Akari in the world of the living\, and it’s up to them to find the story’s ending and solve the mystery as the adults around them conspire to stop them from finding the truth. \n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nKASHIWABA Sachiko is a prolific writer of children’s and young adult fantasy whose career spans more than four decades. Her works have garnered the prestigious Sankei\, Shogakukan\, and Noma children’s literature awards\, and her novel The Marvelous Village Veiled in Mist influenced Hayao Miyazaki’s film Spirited Away.
