This class is an introduction to Japanese animism and magical perspectives in Japanese culture. We will explore historical origins, the influence of Buddism and shine a light on the traditions that fall under the umbrella of Japanese animism. We will also look at how regular life may look for those who walk such a path. In a “day-in-the-life” format we will touch on ancestor work, kami veneration, Japanese cultural arts and magical habits. The class will also include an overview of major annual festivals that may affect one’s daily routine depending on the season. There will be time allotted in the class for discussion and group sharing.

Akemi Tsutsui-Kunitake
Akemi Tsutsui-Kunitake is a visual artist, karate-ka and creator of Live Deliciously. Based in Denver, her work is informed by her identity as a third and fourth-generation (sansei-han and yonsei), mixed-race Japanese American. Her artwork blends themes of Japanese folklore with Western mysticism. She is inspired by the intersectionality of cultural tradition, ancestral wisdom and modern identity. She is a lifelong student of Shotokan karate-do under the instruction of her father, Isao Gary Tsutsui, at Colorado Budokan.
Akemi has also been fortunate to train with masters of other karate styles in California, Hawaii and Japan. As karate embodies so many elements that are integral to the Japanese American experience, she describes karate as her ethnic and spiritual identity in motion. With a formal education in Ethnic Studies, Akemi has worked in the fields of culturally specific education, advocacy and holistic health. She has continued her studies through courses on Japanese energetic healing, Shinto, deep ancestral work and radical community care. Akemi is a frequent collaborator with the Japanese Arts Network as a Cultural Consultant and artistic partner.
