I can trace my first interest in Japan to an article about the Japanese band Loudness. Fortunately, the record store in my hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma had many import albums and I was able to purchase music by Loudness and other Japanese bands. When I entered Occidental College in 1986, I was excited to learn more about Japan.<\/p>\n<p>At Occidental I enrolled in Japanese language class with the wonderful Professor Lynne Miyake. This was at the peak of Japan&#8217;s economic boom and the classroom was overfilled. Students were standing along the walls and some had even come from Cal Tech. It was very exciting to see so much interest in Japan, but within 2 weeks half of the class dropped out once they realized how difficult it would be. I was undeterred and continued Japanese language classes, earning a minor upon graduation.<\/p>\n<p>Through Professor Miyake I learned of the study abroad programs offered at Occidental. Already the move from Tulsa to Los Angeles was a huge culture shift for me and going to Japan seemed the next right place to go. Learning of my acceptance to the Waseda exchange program for my junior year was an exciting moment. I very clearly remember the start of the adventure boarding the flight in 1988 in Los Angeles with three classmates and students from other colleges and universities. The plane had to stop in Hawaii for refueling and stepping out of the plane to wait on the tarmac made it feel like even more of an adventure.<\/p>\n<p>The arrival at Narita marked the start of an experience which would deeply impact the rest of my life. I remember trying to read every sign I saw on the bus ride to Tokyo. I learned much about Japan in my previous two years of language classes, but it did not prepare me for the rush of information and feelings from actually being there. The organization and attention of the CALPUC manager Sayoko Kono from our first arrival was amazing and I deeply appreciated her dedication throughout my time there.<\/p>\n<p>My host parents, Katsumi and Kaneko Tamura, had hosted before so that is probably why they knew how to deal with a wide eyed exchange student struggling with such an overwhelming experience. They put me at ease and we had a wonderful relationship. Their son was about my age and was doing an exchange in Los Angeles. While I missed being able to get to know him, I felt that I was not an extra burden to the family and was filling in for him while he was away. During winter break I went to Hokkaido to stay with my host mother&#8217;s brother&#8217;s family and see the snow festival. At the end of the school year, instead of returning home immediately I stayed longer and went back to Hokkaido to work on the farm of my host mother&#8217;s cousin.<\/p>\n<p>I placed into the highest level of Japanese language class, which made me proud of my hard work the past two years, but it was a massive challenge to keep up with the intense workload. Most students in the Kokusaibu at that time were economics or business majors. I was the only art major among the 40 or so students. The dean, Ikeda-sensei, was an art history professor and she took extra time to help me find studies outside of the normal classes. I remember her telling me that when the Kokusaibu was first founded most of the students were majoring in the arts, but the focus of the students had shifted over the years. She introduced me to some of her former students who were involved in Buddhist sculpture restoration. I was able to visit their studios occasionally during the school year and at the end of the year was invited to go to a large studio in Takadanobaba where they could teach me traditional tools and carving. These connections would prove to be valuable later as I worked to return to Japan for post-graduate studies.<\/p>\n<p>While I enjoyed visiting Hokkaido, two of my other trips I value even more. My host family lived in Itabashi-ku and the local government was sponsoring students to travel to Hiroshima for the 50th anniversary of the atomic bombing. I was accepted and it was a very emotional experience that I can never forget. The other trip was with my Kokusaibu classmates to China. I knew little about China so I didn&#8217;t know what to expect and just tagged along. We went to Hong Kong and then found a tour to take us into China. We visited Guangzhou, Guilin and Beijing. We were in Beijing and toured Tiananmen Square a few months before the protests.<\/p>\n<p>One of my extracurricular activities was in Waseda&#8217;s largest music club. The club created a band called International Heavy Metal with me as the lead guitarist. This was very exciting but also somewhat traumatic as I had never been in a band before or performed in front of anyone. We had two somewhat successful performances, and the opportunity to meet more Waseda students and participate in their activities was memorable.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving Japan at the end of the school year in 1989 was sad, yet I knew I could find a way to come back. I finished my art major and intended to become a sculpture professor. This would require an MFA but my first round of applications was not successful. I remained in Los Angeles taking non-degree classes at what is now called Otis College of Art and Design and worked at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena. I continued taking private Japanese language lessons and investigated ways to study in Japan again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_951\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/us-office\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Coldwell-May-1989-Takadanobaba.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"567\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">(May 1989, Takadanobaba)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After a second round of graduate school applications failed I decided to travel back to Japan to network in person. Ikeda-sensei&#8217;s former students gave me some opportunities to help them in their studios while I supported myself by teaching English. Both of them had attended what is now called the Tokyo University of the Arts, commonly known as Geidai, studying the restoration of historical sculptures. They introduced me to their professor, Ichiro Nagasawa. Professor Nagasawa said I should complete graduate school in the US first before attempting to apply to Geidai. My third attempt at graduate school applications succeeded and I enrolled at San Jose State University to study sculpture. While there I learned of the Japanese Government Scholarship program (Monbugakusho). During my interview for the scholarship at the San Francisco consulate I was told art students rarely receive this scholarship. This saddened me, but made my eventual acceptance even more joyful.<\/p>\n<p>In 1995 I arrived in Japan yet again as a student. The Monbugakusho would support me at Geidai for three years, first as a non-degree student and then as a degree student. I was able to spend time with my Waseda friends and host family, but more importantly was able to now focus on Japanese sculpture. The experience was amazing during those three years visiting temples and learning how to preserve ancient sculptures. It was here that I met my wife, a classmate in the sculpture department. She is an artist from Beijing whose father was an opera singer and mother a painting professor at a university. Our common language during those three years was only Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>Upon graduation from Geidai I had an opportunity to join the Bijyutsuin in Kyoto, an organization dedicated to preserving and restoring Japanese national treasures. Unfortunately, I had to make a very difficult decision to return to the US for health reasons. I continue to visit Japan every few years to see my host family and friends from Geidai.<\/p>\n<p>My experience at the Kokusaibu truly changed the direction of my life. The organization of the host families, classes, and outings made the experience so valuable and memorable. Being in the middle of a major university affords many opportunities to engage with students and faculty outside the Kokusaibu, which could not be equaled elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u9ad8\u6821\u751f\u3060\u3063\u305f\u3053\u308d\u306b\u30ae\u30bf\u30fc\u3092\u7fd2\u3044\u59cb\u3081\u3001\u6d41\u884c\u3063\u3066\u3044\u305f\u30ae\u30bf\u30fc\u96d1\u8a8c\u306e\u65b0\u520a\u3092\u3001\u6bce\u56de\u30ef\u30af\u30ef\u30af\u3057\u306a\u304c\u3089\u8aad\u3093\u3067\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u79c1\u304c\u521d\u3081\u3066\u65e5\u672c\u306b\u8208\u5473\u3092\u6301\u3063\u305f\u304d\u3063\u304b\u3051\u306f\u3001\u65e5\u672c\u306e\u30d0\u30f3\u30c9\u300c\u30e9\u30a6\u30c9\u30cd\u30b9\u300d\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u306e\u8a18\u4e8b\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5e78\u3044\u306a\u3053\u3068\u306b\u3001\u79c1\u306e\u6545\u90f7\u3067\u3042\u308b\u30aa\u30af\u30e9\u30db\u30de\u5dde\u30bf\u30eb\u30b5\u306e\u30ec\u30b3\u30fc\u30c9\u5e97\u306b\u306f\u8f38\u5165\u30a2\u30eb\u30d0\u30e0\u304c\u305f\u304f\u3055\u3093\u3042\u308a\u3001\u30e9\u30a6\u30c9\u30cd\u30b9\u3084\u4ed6\u306e\u65e5\u672c\u306e\u30d0\u30f3\u30c9\u306e\u97f3\u697d\u3092\u8cfc\u5165\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3067\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u30021986\u5e74\u306b\u30aa\u30af\u30b7\u30c7\u30f3\u30bf\u30eb\u30ab\u30ec\u30c3\u30b8\u306b\u5165\u5b66\u3057\u305f\u3068\u304d\u3001\u79c1\u306f\u65e5\u672c\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u3082\u3063\u3068\u5b66\u3079\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3092\u671f\u5f85\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u30aa\u30af\u30b7\u30c7\u30f3\u30bf\u30eb\u3067\u306f\u3001\u7d20\u6674\u3089\u3057\u3044\u65b9\u3067\u3042\u308bLynne
