The French Research Institute on Japan at the Maison franco-japonaise is pleased to invite you to its next webinar:

Japan’s Productivity Puzzle
Friday 21th April / 12:30 – 14:00 JST
Lunch Webinar on Japanese Economy and Society / 
Online / In English, without translation

Speaker: Franz Waldenberger (Director of the German Institute for Japanese Studies)

To sustain income levels in face of a rapidly aging society, Japan will need to increase labor productivity. Value added per hour worked has been increasing over the last 30 years, but it remains very low in comparison to other OECD countries. In 2021, it was below 60% the US level. This is surprising given Japan’s excellent resource conditions: a high education level of its workforce, high investment in research and development and relative abundance of capital. The presentation will try to resolve Japan’s productivity puzzle and discuss possible ways on how productivity could be increased. 

Moderator: Sébastien LECHEVALIER (FRIJ-MFJ)
Organization: FRIJ-MFJ

Supermarket Woman (1996): Bubble shadows and burst premonitions in Itami Jūzō’s film 

Like his father, Itami Mansaku, Itami Jūzō in his work displays a true talent for sharp social observation and sometimes gentle and humorous, sometimes more direct and biting social criticism. During his relatively brief career as a filmmaker, the younger Itami took on several issues of concern of his contemporary surroundings. Reconsidered from the vanguard of today, even such a seemingly inconspicuous film as his 1996 comedy about a housewife being hired to turn around the fortunes of a failing supermarket can be seen as expressive of the zeitgeist of the mid-1990s. In this talk, I will discuss how Supermarket Woman simultaneously reflects shadows of the bubble economy era while also foreshadowing its burst and the impact of both developments on the daily lives of very ordinary people.

Reading Miyazaki Hayao’s films through an economic lens 

Miyazaki’s filmography as a filmmaker can be approached through a variety of entry points, one of them being an analysis of the diverse topics and patterns appearing in his own discourse. The notion of crisis, and more specifically the economic crisis, has been a recurring theme in his interviews since the late 2000s. This talk aims at exploring the questions at stake in Miyazaki’s use of the notion of economic crisis, by intertwining a discursive study of a corpus of interviews and a formal analysis of several key sequences in his films from Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001) to Kaze tachinu (2013).
