Review
Keiko Ochiai is one of Japan's most accomplished feminists, author of over 20 books, and film and television producer. She was also one of Japan's most popular disc jockeys in the '60s. Twenty years ago, she founded the Crayonhouse, a three-story structure that houses an organic restaurant as well as Japan's first women and children's bookstore. Crayonhouse also serves as women's space for concerts, movies and lectures. Some Isis staff who went to Japan had the opportunity to meet her.
