- **Event Description**: Come join us at our Philosophy Meetup to meet likeminded people and have thought-provoking discussions about Samurai Philosophy :)About this EventJoin Us for The Philosopher's Yard Meetup: Exploring "Samurai Philosophy"In this session, we will turn our attention to Samurai Philosophy: When you think about samurai what images or concepts spring to mind? How are they portrayed in the media and popular culture? In your culture, what’s the modern equivalent of “living by a code”?This meetup will feature a short talk from Rimika Tanaka, a writer and researcher in the performing arts that works at a dance conservatoire in London with the mission to widen access and participation in ballet and contemporary dance. She studied Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Oxford then did a master’s in the Arts of Africa, Oceania and The Americas at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts. Through her studies she has cultivated a passion for material culture, post-colonial theory and non-Western ways of thinking.When she was a little girl, she left Japan and moved to the remote Scottish islands of Orkney – a totally different culture that spoke of similarities via their myths to the folktales of Japan. She is currently writing a book on samurai culture and womanhood. It was a topic her mother Akemi Tanaka had wanted to pursue but sadly she ran out of time. Now that Akemi is one the ancestors, Rimi feels like she is getting to know her mother and feel connected to her samurai heritage in ways she never expected. Her talk will be inspired by both her academic and professional experience, alongside her cultural heritage.As always, The Philosopher’s Yard provides a neutral, welcoming space for dialogue and reflection. Whether you are well-versed in political philosophy or simply curious about the nature of authority and responsibility, this is an opportunity to share your perspectives and listen to diverse viewpoints from fellow thinkers.The event will take place at BRIG Café at The Warehouse, located in the Birmingham city centre. The ambiance is perfect for connecting with others who, like you, are searching for deeper understanding and meaningful connections.Tickets are £5.
