Being a professional ninja might sound like a little kid's fantasy, but in Aichi, Japan it's a very real job you can have as an adult. Aichi is the birthplace of the Samurai warrior and there are still many places in the city related to Samurai history, from castles to battlegrounds, that people can visit. The ninjas serve as publicists for these sites in order to help boost tourism. We asked Kotaru Uchikoshi, the creator of 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, Virtue's Last Reward and the upcoming Zero Time Dilemma, to create a stage in Super Mario Maker. The results are decidedly Zero Escapey. Photographer Mayumi Suzuki lost her parents when the 2011 tsunami devastated her hometown of Onagawa, Japan. When she returned, she found her father’s camera and began to document the reconstruction. What she found was hope and healing.
