Q&A with director Sion Sono!

Sensational indie filmmaker Sion Sono returns to JAPAN CUTS with this much anticipated, gripping four-hour hentai (pervert) epic brimming with absurd gore, cross-dressers, sin and love triangles while exposing the contradictions within human nature. Yu feels compelled to commit sins for his father, who has become a catholic priest and demands daily confessions from him. As a result, Yu joins a local gang and becomes a master of hentai photography. Amidst the chaos that ensues, he falls in love at first sight with Yoko, whom he later discovers will become his new step sister. With an evil religious cult leader determined to convert his family and steal his precious Yoko away, Yu must go to extreme lengths to save the love of his life.

ABOUT CASANOOAH, INC. http://www.casanooah.com

The Casanooah showroom features authentic handmade Japanese ceramics and garden ornaments that originate from two of Japans most historical cities Nara, Japans oldest city, and Karatsu, the city that links Japan to China.

JAPANESE CERAMIC POTTERY
Featuring Karatsu, Bizen, and Shigaraki styles of Japanese pottery, Casanooah offers the finest and widest selection of ceramics. We work with acclaimed artists who are known for their impressive exhibitions and have received countless accolades for their work in Japan. Fit for royalty, many of the pieces have been presented to generations of the emperors family. And although the pottery is Japanese in origin, it incorporates seamlessly with any décor.

Casanooah features custom ceramic busts, as well as a wide variety of styles and sizes to display in either the interior or exterior of the home. We also feature a special collection of Japanese tea ceremony cups (macchawan); they season with use and enhance the flavor of tea over time.

Casanooahs Karatsu ware artist, Masamichi Nakano, from Tochi Nakano kiln, is a famous ceramic sculptor known for his elaborate and delicate workmanship.

ZEN GARDEN DESIGN
A zen garden in the backyard of the showroom creates a peaceful environment for shoppers. Designed by Japanese garden designer, Yoshihiko Kawatake, it is adorned with antique hand carved lanterns, chozubachi (stone water basins) and garden rocks all of which are available for purchase.

In addition to providing southern Californias most exclusive collection of antique garden ornaments, Casanooah uniquely cooperates with Kawatake to design any type of Japanese garden for any type of landscape. Casanooah features tsubo niwa (enclosed-garden), which can be a small sanctuary in a garden or even in any interior space.

Please visit us at the showroom in Newport Beach, California. We are always available to
answer your questions.
