James Fisher and Karen David will discuss Fisher’s new series Flotilla - A pleasure trip with Yuru-Kyara.
Will Yuru-Kyara be seen as Japanese heritage in the next century?
About
Will their stories be handed down around the world like the Minotaur or Frankenstein’s Monster?
Yuru-Kyara are not folk creatures like yokai, but made by institutions or companies.
They are very friendly and hypnotic. How does this aspect of Japanese psyche infuse with Fisher’s work? The floating boats will take you to mysterious destinations.
