    Detlef ・ Professor Emeritus of Haverland （ Lectures by Oldenburg University ）

    Japan was already well known in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. Japan was already well known in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. But this mysterious, beautiful, and strange island nation was mainly a subject of speculation, not concrete knowledge. During the period of isolation, reliable information was even more difficult to obtain. Authors such as Kasper ・ Schmalkalden, Johann ・ Albrecht ・ von ・ Mandelsloh, and George ・ Meister show how they dealt with this difficulty. Engelbert ・ Kempel's writings on Japan mark the transition to modern scholarship; the 2025 Osaka Expo opens in April, offering a unique opportunity to learn about another country. The longstanding relationship between Japan and the German-speaking world will be introduced through this lecture. As past barriers to knowledge transfer have shown, impressions and insights gained from direct encounters with a country and its inhabitants are the most reliable information and can provide hints for future exchanges.

    In our ever-changing times, it is more important than ever to remember and commemorate the past. 2024, the Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded to the grassroots movement of the survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. The prize was awarded to the anti-nuclear organization Japan Confederation of A- and H-bomb Sufferers Organizations. The Norwegian Nobel Committee noted that the organization, founded in 1956, is a grassroots movement that has worked to achieve a world without nuclear weapons and has given testimony that nuclear weapons should never again be used. Japanese film history has also focused on the suffering and hardship of the people involved in the war. This film special features films by prominent filmmakers in which the fate of each individual is central to the story.
    This feature opens with （ "Leave This Child" ）, a family story based on a doctor's notes, followed by "The Burmese Harp" in which music plays an important role in the Japanese soldiers' fight for survival, （ "Twenty-Four Eyes" . Sakura-tai Scattering," which recounts the post-A-bombing footsteps of the mobile theater troupe "Sakura-tai" through dramas and testimonies from those involved, and "Senba Zuru," the story of a girl who folds cranes before her death. The film closes with "Kazaoto," a film about the skulls of Kamikaze Kamikaze pilots, and "ONODA: Beyond Ten Thousand Nights," a film inspired by the real-life figure Hiroshi Onoda.
