Japan misunderstands feminists world

TOKYO — The Women’s Libera
tion Movement in Japan is so mis
understood that most people believe
a feminist is a man who is nice to
women, a leader of the fledgling
women’s rights movement said
Tuesday.
Ikuko Atsumi, an associate profes
sor at Aoyama University, said mem
bers of a women’s movement she
helped start in 1977 quickly realized
“that even the word feminism has
been very much misunderstood in
Japan.”
“In Japan, a feminist means a man
who is kind to women and seems to
understand women,” she said.
Most people who have lived in the
United States or Western Europe
find women’s liberation movements
to be virtually nonexistent in Japan
and Atsumi admitted she and her
colleagues were not “very powerful
yet.”
Atsumi appeared at a panel discus
sion of women’s rights in Japan
together with an American corpora
tion lawyer now living in Japan and a
New York psychologist specializing
in cultural attitudes.
very difficult to produce a real
feminist.”
She said that while women acade
mics might be able to play a leading
role in helping women actually re
ceive the equal treatment the laws
say they should have, Japan suffers
from the lack of an “attractive woman
who can be both theorist and activist
at the same time. ”

Luck and “an exemplary skill for ex

by Titian in some of the world’s
greatest museums are forgeries, a

The discovery of 400-year-old Ti
tian forgeries in such museums as the
Louvre in Paris and the Metropoli
tan Museum in New York was the
work of Dr. Peter Dreyer, art histo
rian and deputy curator at the Prus
sian State Museum in Berlin.
The discovery of the forgeries, re
ported Tuesday by the Times of Lon
don after publication in a German art
magazine, began three years ago at
the Staedelsches Kunstinstitut in
Frankfurt, a colleague at the insti
tute said.
Hans Joachim Zemke, a student
and long-time colleague of Dreyer,
who heads the Institute’s 19th cen
tury art department, said Dreyer,
during a routine research trip to
Frankfurt, noticed aTitian landscape
that bore uncanny resemblance to
the famous "Nativity woodcut he
had just hung in an exhibition of Ti
tian woodcuts in Berlin.
The chance recognition prompted
careful research and, through “an ex
emplary skill for exact observation,”
Dreyer discovered pen and pencil
lines that joined hits of the landscape
obscured by nativity figures shown
in the more famous woodcut, Zemke
said.
From Frankfurt, Drever traveled
to some of the worlds
nowned museums to examint’
Titians, Zemke said.
