Yuk !
Like, the Yukon River in Alaska freezes over every winter and then thaws in the spring.
Excuse me, I'm Yuka Washizu, a makeup artist.
Thank you, Yuka-san. I envy your perseverance in becoming a makeup artist, and you really made it.
Thank you. Yuka-san, you said earlier that the reason you started working together
when the Russian government essentially stole the assets of Yukos and jailed its founder.
was anti-corruption that led to the destruction of Yukos and led to the ongoing level of corporate raiding that we've seen in Russia today that continues to escalate.
to that question. But Yukari here actually, you spent almost two years looking at this question, and I thank you for doing that.
regime and also corruption because I already said YUKOS and its most precious part of the
I like surrounding myself with people who don't take themselves seriously and we just yuk it up.
Let us hear from Koshiro-san first, then Yuka-san next.
I have spent most of my life studying Russia and was involved in the Yukos case in Russia in 2003
becoming the subject of a segment on NPR's "On the Media." According to Yukari, the truth is considerably less interesting.
Then, my last big trip was the Alaska-Yukon expedition, which was 4700 miles in 6 months.
Thank you. How about you, Yuka?
and be adventurous. Thank you, Yuka-san. So, you told us about how the project "Kesho" started.
Kabuki makeup for Koshiro-san, and fashion or makeup on models at work for Yuka-san?
Thank you. How about you, Yuka-san?
Thank you. How about you, Yuka-san?
Mr. Koshiro Matsumoto and Ms. Yuka Washizu, thank you so much.
That's awesome. I want to take another question here from Yuki Jung.

destroyed most of Russian civil society in the period that dates from 2003 and the seizure of Yukos.
So I want to also introduce my colleague and co-creator of U.Lab at MIT and the Presencing Institute Adam Yukelson, who on short notice is in town
I'm Richard Gingras, and today we're here with Yukari Itawani Kane.
Whenever I go on a trip, I do-- Before my Alaska-Yukon trip, I-- It took me, so it was a 6 month long trip, and it took me 6 months to plan.
So basically what we have is we have, we like to use Yukon potatoes, right? Great Yukon potato. Its' a big one. So we cut this into a dice. Again. And we're gonna put this in
And that's important because what we're going to go find is only found north of the Yukon river now. And we kept on going up to a place called Slope Mountain. It's
That water causes erosion and melts a layer of frozen ground called permafrost, all of which affects the chemical balance of the Yukon River.
Mr. Koshiro Matsumoto, who is a Kabuki actor, and Ms. Yuka Washizu who is a make-up artist.
Okay, now, Ms. Yuka Washizu, please introduce yourself.
Thank you. Well, could you tell us what you care about the most when you work, Yuka-san?
but for this work, you partially did your own makeup, but, mostly, it was done by Yuka-san.
Because one of you wants, like, the smart car or whatever it might be, and you want like the big Yukon, and you have to find something in between that fits both.
What that is is, that's active placer mining, gold mining sites up near Dawson City in Canada's Yukon Territory.
all we had to do was three days of work. So we got on the truck. And we drove. We went north of the Yukon river.
So, I'm quite pessimistic about the outcome of his trial, which is a shame for my country and it's a tragedy for Khodorkovskii and the employees of YUKOS. Which again, not sure
