Plaster Shi-sa-(Okinawan lion statue) Making workshop

Friday, October 18, 2024 - 14:00 to 16:00
Ocean View Room
What is "Shi-sa" ...

The "Shi-sa-" are traditional Okinawan guardian figures often found in pairs, positioned at the entrances of homes, businesses, and other buildings. These lion-like creatures are rooted in Chinese and Southeast Asian mythology but have become an iconic symbol of Okinawan culture. Shisa statues typically come in two forms: one with its mouth open, symbolising the dispelling of evil spirits, and the other with its mouth closed, representing the keeping in of good spirits. They are usually made of ceramic or stone and can be highly decorative, with various colours and styles. The belief is that Shisa protects against negative influences and brings good fortune. They are popular in Okinawa and have gained recognition across Japan and internationally due to their unique appearance and cultural significance.

Symposium

OIST - NanoLSI Joint Symposium "Exploring Uncharted Nanoscale Frontiers in Life Sciences"

Wednesday, November 27, 2024 (All day)
B250 Sydney Brenner Lecture Theater

Human prosperity has advanced alongside the development of science and technology, opening numerous uncharted frontiers. While many mysteries have been solved, numerous unknowns remain, particularly in the life sciences. At the nanoscale level, fundamental questions persist, such as the dynamics of proteins and nucleic acids on the surfaces and within cells, the essential building blocks of living organisms. As a WPI research institute pioneering cutting-edge microscopy techniques for visualizing nanoscale life phenomena, we are excited to co-organize an international symposium with OIST on "Exploring Uncharted Nanoscale Frontiers in Life Sciences." This symposium aims to foster transdisciplinary research and catalyze new collaborations among researchers from diverse fields. We warmly invite your participation.
