culturebox Nerd Violence Never give a sword to a man who can't dance. By Daniel Engber Posted Monday, Jan. 3, 2011, at 7:04 AM ET It would have been newsworthy if Michael Brea, a young actor from the television series Ugly Betty, had killed his mother with a gun. But when he slashed her to death last November in Brooklyn, N.Y., with a 3-foot-long Masonic blade, his crime made the front page: A sword nut gone berserk. Brea's choice of weapon may not have been his greatest derangement--"I didn't kill her, I killed the demon inside her," he insisted afterward--but it was certainly odd. In the United States, at least, murderers tend to shoot people: Two-thirds of the nation's homicides--about 10,000 per year--are committed with firearms. Drug dealers use handguns to protect their turf; athletes keep them in their pants. Among cops, shooting is contagious. When teenagers snap, they bring guns to school.

Exhibition: Japanese card boards conveying congratulatory messages, Jan 2 - Feb 27

Cultural News Email Daily   Cultural News Email Daily is edited by Shige Higashi, Japanese culture coordinator in Los Angeles, to spread information about affordable programs and events in Southern California for appreciating Japanese tradition. Your support to Cultural News would be appreciated. www.culturalnews.com/donation Communities do not exist without the efforts to build our communities. As our contribution to the local community, Cultural News now provides obituaries in the Japanese American community of Southern California. www.culturalnews.com/obituary is updated daily. Exhibition: Japanese card boards conveying congratulatory messages, Jan 2 - Feb 27 Two hare* greet each other while frying through cosmos on a shikishi created by Hirokazu Kosaka (*hare is Latin language in origin). The Japanese American Cultural and Community Center presents the 13th Annual Shikishi Exhibition at Doizaki Gallery in the JACCC Building, 244 South San Pedro Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 from January 2 through February 27. Admission free. Gallery Hour: Tuesday - Friday, 12 - 5 pm; Saturday and Sunday, 11 am - 4 pm.    Shikishi are Japanese congratulatory cards of standard size, which has been used in Japan since the twelfth century for painting and writing poetry. Today, these shikishi are given as gifts to mark a memorable or special occasion.   In 1988, Hirokazu Kosaka, JACCC's Artistic Director, fused traditional and contemporary notions of the shikishi by asking over 500 people to celebrate the New Year expressing themselves using shikishi board.   Participants included celebrities, local personalities, politicians, artists, priests, children, writers, and community members. The outcome was an intriguing and amazingly eclectic exhibit of shikishi art. Some were simple while others elaborate and colorful. Some were even fashioned into freestanding sculptures.   Based on the Hatsu-Dayori (First Letters of the New Year) theme, this year's colorful shikishi exhibition includes former Prime Ministers of Japan and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. www.jaccc.org The 13th Annual Shikishi Exhibition at the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center in Los Angeles.
