A Response to 'Soft Lines: Illustrating Empathy' -- Nozomi

  I felt that Ruby Jones’s art, with its simple and soft-touch illustrations and short messages, has the power to make people positive. I was also impressed by her clear messages against terrorism and by her strong desire for world peace and equality for all people.

 Just as there was a video showing children engaging with Ruby Jones’s work, I believe that art and literature can change the awareness of a wide range of people—from children to adults—by using simple and accessible messages.

 Although I am not majoring in art or literature, I hope to leave a legacy in this world by creating inventions from the field of science that enrich people’s lives.

    Yeah, I was impressed that children was thinking about peace and empathy. I felt that is exactly what Jones wants to communicate.

    I think it is a very important idea that you want to leave legacy in this world by creating inventions from the field of science that enrich people’s lives.

ZOU Qingyang

  Hi everyone, this is ZOU Qingyang from Xiamen, a very beautiful coastal city in China. I graduated from the Business School of Fudan University in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree. After that, I worked in the Strategic Business Department of CMOC Group Limited, a leading global mining company, in Shanghai for more than three years until March 2025. Currently, I am a master’s student at the University of Tokyo, majoring in Human and Engineered Environmental Studies, where I analyze how to reduce accident rates in mining companies, taking into account the impact of artisanal miners and host countries. One of my biggest interests is traveling. In 2025, after resigning from CMOC and before starting my studies at the University of Tokyo, I used my savings to take my parents on a one-month trip to Europe. We drove through ten different countries, including Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Spain. Although we encountered many challenges along the way, it was truly an eye-opening exp...

Hi there! My name is Saho Ono . I’m a first-year student at Sophia University , and I’m 18 years old. However, I’m turning 19 on March 3rd, so I would be happy if you could celebrate it next week! It’s a bit embarrassing to say that by myself  😅 I was born in Osaka , but I lived in Tokyo for most of my life. My family consists of four people, mother, father, and younger sister who is a high school student. The reason why I joined this program in Dunedin is that I like studying languages. Actually, my major is French (language), but I started studying it last year, so I’m still a beginner. I would like to have more conversations in English during my stay here and make my English more natural and fluent. Moreover, I want to make friends with both international students and Japanese students ！ My hobby is watching sports, and especially love baseball ！ I have been a big fan of the Hanshin Tigers for more than 10 years. I watch baseball games almost every day, and I sometimes go to...
