Tall Tale and Japanese Culture
Tears o f Joy Puppet Theatre pre
sents "Little One-Inch," a very tall
tale about a very small boy who sets
out to save Japan from an evil Ogre.
Armed with a needle for a sword,
and a wooden bowl and chopstick
for a boat and oar, small Issun sets
off to find his fortune. In his adven
tures he battles a rat, befriends a
kappa, rides a koi down the rapids,
and becomes friends with a prin
cess before defeating the ogre in a
hilarious battle.
Based on a classic Japanese folk
tale, Little One-Inch was adapted to
puppet theatre by local bilingual
resident, Leo Tanaka Kominz who
received the 2005 Portland Drammy
award for writing this play for Tears
of Joy Theatre.

Michael Jackson will be a focal point o f Sunday’s
Grammys. The music awards show will broadcast a 3-D
clip the singer made for his hit “Earth Song,” a video that
was to be integral to his comeback concerts in London
last July — shows that never happened because o f his
June 25 death in Los Angeles.
Usher, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer
Hudson and Smokey Robinson will perform alongside
the clip, which will be the first time an awards show will
feature 3-D.
“Whenever we would do a show with (Jackson), the
first thing he would say to me was, ‘How can we do
something that we (have) never done before?’ And now
we’re doing something that hasn't been done before,”
said Ken Ehrlich, the telecast’s executive producer who
worked with Jackson for almost 30 years.
