The post 44th Oyako Day Online Talk Live appeared first on 「親子の日」Oyako Day.

]]> What Is Nurtured in Everyday Life


Munakatado, a bakery in Okinawa.

Their bread has a taste like something naturally born—almost like a “child of nature.”

Carefully baked with respect for ingredients and the power of fermentation, their bread connects families and communities, and is passed on to the future.

It feels as though nature, family, and time are all baked into each loaf.

We have had a close relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Munakata for some time, and on several occasions, we have photographed parent-and-child portraits with them for Okinawa Oyako Day.

During those visits, the warmth of their family and the atmosphere they share left a lasting impression, and we were able to spend truly joyful time in Okinawa.

In the way Munakatado carries out their daily work, we sense something deeply connected to what Oyako Daycherishes—

“the continuity of life” and “what we pass on to the future.”

In this session, while listening to the couple’s stories and daily practices, we hope to reflect together on the theme:

“Present to the Future.”

This will be an online event, open to everyone.

We warmly invite you to join us.

The post Bruce Osborn — Recent Updates appeared first on 「親子の日」Oyako Day.

]]>

THE SCOOTERS is a band Bruce met soon after arriving in Japan.

Among its members, he was especially drawn to the character of Lucy, the tenor saxophonist, which led him to create a photo series titled “I Love Lucy,” with her as the central figure.

This photograph was taken in 1984 in Harumi, Chuo Ward, before the area underwent redevelopment.

Last year, THE SCOOTERS released a new album for the first time in 30 years—and its cover featured one of Bruce’s photographs from the “I Love Lucy” series taken three decades ago.

Yesterday, Lucy and the band’s vocalist, Beauty, came to visit the venue of the Isshiki Beach Art Exhibition, currently being held at Shiosai Park in Hayama.

After viewing the exhibition, we took a walk around Hayama, enjoying a day soothed by the sounds and scents of the sea.
