Hilo is getting more and more worried about COVID-19. Yes, he's getting more and more worried. I'd like to ask you a few questions about your role as a teacher. First of all, the title of the book is called Oji-Sha Manga. That's right. It's called Oji-Sha, isn't it? Oji-Sha is a word that is more complicated than a word called mental disabilities. It's a word that emphasizes the needs of the disabilities. It's a word called Oji-Sha. The word Oji-Sha is not only a word for mental disabilities, but also a word for the minority. Oji-Sha is a word that is more complicated than a word called Oji-Sha. It was originally a word that was used as a sign language. It's a word that is used as a sign language. It's a word that is less complicated than a word like that. It's a word that is more complicated than a word called mental disabilities. The word Oji-Sha is a word that is more complicated than a word called mental disabilities. The word Oji-Sha is another word that fits the title of the book. in the U.S. Is there any? Well, actually, the amount of manga written by the director has increased a lot in Japan. And the amount of manga is not the same as the amount of manga written by the director or the theme of the movie, which is still not the same as the amount of manga written by the director. The research that I have written is still not the same. In the U.S., the director has already written his own autobiographical comic books. And on the other hand, the amount of manga written by the director in the U.S. is not the same as the amount of manga written by the director. As a book of research, I feel that the director is more likely to die. In Japan, there are a lot of works written by the director, but there is not much research. In the U.S., the work itself is not so much, but the books of the director have a lot of research. That's what I think. I see. I think there is a little hole that the audience is not looking at. I think I will fill it there. I see. I was talking a little bit about it, but in the recent movie I remember, it became Utsu. It became a movie. I think there are people who have seen it, but in that sense, the director or the director of the movie is the director of the movie. That's right. The original manga of the movie was Utsubyo. In the same Utsubyo manga, Keiichi Tanaka has a Utsunuke manga, too. Utsunuke? Yes. It's a very popular manga. The manga that has been read a lot, or it's not yet written by the director, but with the new audience, for example, Shogai. In Japan, it's not a research field yet, but the original manga was selected and interviewed by the director. Well, the manga written by people who don't have disabilities and those who have disabilities, is it a big difference or what's the point of the director? The point is, of course, even if you're a director, it's possible to talk about the director's experience, but if you're not experiencing pain, or if you're looking at it objectively, Shogai, I discussed it in the previous episode, but as a part of the plot of Shogai, we tend to talk about it in a dramatic way, like touching tears, in that way. It's often used as a plot. I see. However, the director is experiencing pain. Of course, it's not like that. Also, it's not like we can't see or experience it, but I think it's a big difference. I see. As I said, people's pain can be kept for a thousand years, but it's not like we can't see or experience it, but it's not like we can't see. So, we can't see. So, it's not like we can't see. It's not like we can't see. It's not like we can't see. It's not like we can't see. It's not like we can't see. It's not like we can't see. So something, for the first time 学習の意味でもすごくいいと思います。ただのお話、悲しい涙もボロボロのお話じゃなくて、 研究になる、いろんな企業を得られるという理由もあるですね。 なるほどですね。 日本でそんなに作品があるのに、研究が出ていないというところは、どういうふうに見られますか? なぜなんでしょう? えっとですね、もともとその当時の漫画の作品が出ているの分野が、 エッセイ漫画という、要するに事故の体験を語ったという、 エッセイ漫画という一番だなんですけど、 そのジャンズ自体が、なかなか漫画学の研究者の方々に 直接の視点を浴びてないというか、 そればっかりの研究をされている方が少なくて、 またこれから分野だと思います。 なるほどなるほど。 今その研究をされて、今5本書かれていらっしゃるわけですよね。 出版はいつになる感じなんでしょうか? そうですね。 出版がそれぞれのスケジューとかもあるので、 私も言えないんですけれども、 例えば学日出版、大学の出版とかはすごく審査とかもあるんですね。 私の本も2017年に最初の原稿を書けていたんですが、 それから色々と書き直しとか、コミッティとか、 そういう審査とか色々あって、 結局出るのが5月というかぐらいになってしまうので。 2 冊目の5本の話ですね。 3 冊目はいつになるか分かんないと。 3 年くらい。 この先に3年くらいあったんじゃないかと。 2、3 年は確保してます。 出てくるのが大変楽しみという感じなんですが、 これは日本語でお書きになることではないんですか? 最初は英語です。 なるほど。 っていうことは研究者のためもありますが、 将来的に例えば学生さんにこれを研究資料、 または勉強の資料みたいな感じ日本研究学のですね。 それにお使いになるということも考えてらっしゃいます? そうですね。 学生の方々に読んでいただいたいというのと、 あとまたは、 そういうメビアの授業をなさってる 標準の方々にも読んでいただいたい。 精神、心の病というのは 今大学キャンパスでも大きな問題、 topicですよね。 それでうつびようなり うつびようなり eating disorderとか そういう ような悩み 病を経験することが 多いと思うんですから そういった今実際に 体験してなくても いつれ自分に 掛かってくるかもしれないので 精神症が持っている人を 他者とか というふうに取らないで 要するに自分と同じ 一線上でつながった 自分はいつかなるかもしれないし またこういう コロナウイルスの 感染が広まって ストレスが高まった時に 私たちも 精神的にやられてしまう ということもありますよね 人とかじゃなくて 自分たちにも 掛かってくるかもしれない ということで 知識として 身につけていただきたい と思います なるほど 確かに そうですね 自分はならなくても というふうに 思っている方が 多いかと思いますが 家族 介護の 役に立つ それを どういうふうに 研究につなげて いくかっていうところが 先生の著作と リシャツの大事な点だと思うんですけど ちょっとここで お休みをいただいた あとに 先生が具体的に こういった 日本語の先生で なっちゃって このお話を このところ ちょっと お休みの後に お聞きしたいと思います はい 日本語で お答えしております こんにちは ハワイ ここで ちょっと お休みをいただきます こんにちは ハワイ We are about to take a little break here and we'll be right back with a new Hawaii talk show on the Think Tech Hawaii. The theme of business in Hawaii is to share with you stories of local businesses by local people and our guests share with us their journey to building a successful business right here at home. We are streamed live on Think Tech weekly at 2 p.m. on Thursdays. Thank you so much for watching our show. I am Daylan Yanagida and we'll look forward to seeing you then. We are back from break with Professor Yoshiko Okuyama in Hilo, Hawaii. We are broadcasting live on Think Tech Hawaii's Japanese program. Hello, this is Hawaii. Today, I am here at the Hilo High School in the University of Hawaii, and I am here at the Hilo High School in the University of Hilo, Hawaii. I am Yoshiko Okuyama, and I am here at the Hilo High School in the University of Hilo, Hawaii. I think there are many different types of research, but how did you find out about the psychological disorder and the current situation? Well, first of all, I was concerned about the psychological disorder before that. And then, the last chapter is about the current situation of the manga and I met a writer there and I wanted to search for the manga written by the writer and I wanted to search for the manga. And then, sometimes, we have the National Endowment for Humanity and the American Air Force and we were able to use it to describe the history of the outside world in the field of foreign art. And then, I learned about the psychological disorder in many ways and I was very interested in it. When I was thinking about it, in the same way, my mother and I had a mental disorder, which is called OCD, which is called a social disorder. So it was a lot of trouble. As a nurse, I participated in the national association for mental immunity class. And I had a lot of experiences as a nurse or when I was a child. I thought about it, but I couldn't see it in my eyes. So I decided to study it. I see, I see. Mr. Okuyama, as a nurse and a nurse, I was a nurse since I became an adult. So I had a mental disorder and I had a lot of experiences. Yes, my mother had a mental disorder and she had a mental disorder so I didn't have a mental disorder. So when I was able to use money or get a job, my father and I had a job outside. In that sense, I had a lot of trouble with my mother and I was alone, and I had been taken care of. My mother came to the US and we were talking for a while. My father was gone. And after that, It is difficult to live alone because it is difficult to have a mental disability. I have been doing it for a long time. Thank you. Thank you. That kind of experience. You don't have to be a manga artist, but you can connect that kind of experience to research. Actually, when I was in college, I wanted to be a manga artist. That's right. That's right. Thank you. Let's go to the research. I would like to show you some pictures here. Let's take a look at some pictures. What kind of person is this? This is a manga artist named Shira Minusatako. She is my next-door husband. She is the CEO of OCD. She is the same as your mother. She is the director of the manga. She is the director of the manga. She is the director of the manga, but her husband is the director of the manga. She is the director of the manga. She is the director of the manga. What is the manga called? OCD is my OCD. It's not my OCD. It's my OCD. Next one, please. What is this? This is one of my research. I have been studying Showa for a long time. This one is from Showa University in Yarozetsu University. This one is from Showa University. Let's look at the next one. This picture is from my mother. This is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. This picture is from my son. 白田障礙という日本で言ってるんですけれども 白田障礙の子どもたちを 領域ですか 領域的の演じをするためのセンターで そこを見学させていただいたんですね今回の方にも白田障礙の作品を載せてますし この画期のため行きというんですけれども Can you look at the front of the camera? From the top of your face? Yes. What is it? It's a cartoon. Yes. It's a cartoon. Yes. It's a cartoon. Yes. It's a cartoon. Yes. I read it. Yes. It's a cartoon. Yes. A very popular cartoon. Yes, I did. I read a lot, I love the manga. A manga editor I was already 60 plus. 60? I think 60. It is amazing. Do we have one more picture here? This is what I just mentioned, the National Endowment for Humanity. This is the history of the world and the world of elementary school. In this book, there are people who study elementary school. I have been studying and studying for a long time. I have been studying and studying for a long time. I have been studying and studying for a long time. I see. But if you participate in such a group, you will be more energetic than you are always being read by the teacher. That is the spirit of the group. Yes. The teacher who came to the lecture room has been talking about various things all the time and is also talking about the books she wants to write. She has also received various advice. While participating in NEH, she wrote a proposal for the book and sent it to two publishers. She also wrote a proposal for the book. The book she chose is called, Parguet Macmillan. She has also signed an advance contract with the publisher. Yes, it's amazing. I think it's all thanks to NEH. But as I said before, there are various things and there is a sense of interest in it. I think it's a very important research. I'm not sure if I can read all of it in English, but I'd like to read all of it in Japanese or in the form of a manga. But I don't have a plan for that. Thank you very much. In fact, I'm not sure if I can read all of it in Japanese or in the form of a manga. I'd like to read all of it, but I don't have a plan for that. Thank you very much. In fact, while I'm writing this, I have a lot of information about my reference book. It's a research paper written in Japanese. I have to translate it in my head and translate it into English. I have to do the opposite in Japanese. I see. If that's true, why don't you write it in Japanese while studying it in Japanese? Yes. That's true. In the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK, there is a map that is similar to the library. I've put it in there. It's a cross-couch. I see. If you write it in English, reading it in Japanese is not just for Japanese people. That's very important. I'd like to add one more thing. In English, there are a lot of books about autobiographies and comics. In Japan, there are a lot of books about Japanese manga, especially books about the political and political affairs. There are no books about that. I'd like to write it in English in that sense. Are you almost done with the original book? No, not yet. It's still a long way to go. It's still a long way to go. It's still a long way to go. But it's a very unique and important job. When I first heard about it, I wanted to continue to write it. I'm glad that I was able to take the time to do that. Thank you. I'm looking forward to hearing your name. It seems that it will soon be time. Mr. Okuyama, we have a very important research focusing on restoring the combat life of the war. Our research is done. I'm already working on the project, so I'm looking forward to the full completion of the project. Thank you so much. We are out of time. Konnichiwa, Hawaii. Thank you so much, Professor Yoshiko Obuyama, and we will be bringing more Japanese shows, and I know people are indoors now and confined because of this situation here, but we have online connection, and we are not isolated. We can connect each other through Henkei, Hawaii, and Konnichiwa, Hawaii, and we'll see you again soon. Thank you for watching.
