FOUR STARRED REVIEWS! ★Publisher's Weekly ★The Horn Book ★School Library Journal ★Kirkus
A gorgeous picture book about a community coming together to build something beautiful, from award-winning and New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Grace Lin.

When a small stone Buddha falls off a cyclist's wagon, he lands in a neglected part of a busy city street. People often throw trash here, turning this part of the city into a rather unpleasant sight. But as passersby begin to notice the little stone Buddha, they start to wonder: what if we each made a small change that brightened this shared part of our community?

Inspired by a true story, The Little Stone Buddha shows us how a small action—or, in this case, a small Buddha—can change a moment, which can change a decision, which can change the spirit, which can, in the end, change everything.

The event runs from 5:30 to 6:30 pm and RSVP is required. The bookstore is located at 4754 Liberty Ave. in Bloomfield (map).

Progress stalls on all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in East Liberty, Oyoshi.

Progress on the all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant Oyoshi has stalled in East Liberty. Coming Soon signage was up on the facade, and the social media, of the Industry apartment building at 5821 Centre. Ave in in Summer 2025, but activity and permits have stopped. Plans for the 3,490 square foot restaurant were approved in April 2025, and the restaurant remains listed on the apartment complex's website.

Sushi and hibachi on Centre Avenue. Oyoshi brings an all-you-can-eat sushi menu, hibachi grills and a full bar to the ground floor of Industry Pittsburgh — the kind of place that becomes the default for a Thursday night, a match-day celebration or a family visit.

Should Oyoshi ever open, it will represent part of a Pittsburgh restaurant trend over the last year or two of all-you-can-eat Asian and sushi places, which includes Bombing Pot, the second Kujira location, 8 Star in Gibsonia, Umiya in Squirrel Hill (still under construction), and Let's Sushi in Wexford, among others.

Poet and translator Arthur Sze in Pittsburgh, April 27, for Pittsburgh Arts & Lecture's Ten Evenings series.

Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures will host poet and translator Arthur Sze on April 27, 2027, as part of its Ten Evenings series.

“Now more than ever, dismantling walls and cultural barriers will help to find the common ground that seems to be shifting and eroding underfoot. ‘Translation,’ Sze affirms, ‘builds bridges and makes connections.’”—Veronica Corpuz, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Transient Worlds: On Translating Poetry is a personal guide to global poetry in translation by 25th U.S. Poet Laureate Arthur Sze. Focusing on an accessible selection of key works, Sze takes readers through nearly two millennia of poetry from every part of the world, constructing fifteen different “zones” of literary discussion with a critical focus on the artistic dimensions of translation itself. Using multiple translations of the same source poems—as well as original poems written by translators—he explores deep connections between the acts of writing and reading. Sze invites readers to consider their own acts of engaged reading as a creative pursuit, giving them tools to begin translating poems themselves as well as tools that will unlock foreign-language works as inspirational sources. At its core, this unique anthology, published in association with the Library of Congress, showcases a profound goal of global literary citizenship: to open works up to all readers and to encourage poetic creativity at the fundamental level of language itself.

Copies of Transient Worlds are available to purchase from White Whale Bookstore. After the lecture, the author will sign books in the Music Hall Foyer. 

The talk will be held at the Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland (map), and tickets are available online.

2026 Japanese horror film Never After Dark (ネバーアフターダーク) in Pittsburgh, from October 9.

The 2026 Japanese horror film Never After Dark (ネバーアフターダーク) will play in Pittsburgh from October 9 through October 15.

Combining nerve-jangling ghost story, disorientating temporal paradox, and a powerful exploration of survivor’s guilt, this gripping and emotive film revisits and reinvigorates Old School J-Horror, in thrilling fashion; mixing classic genre tropes with some unusual new twists on supernatural mythology. Director and writer Dave Boyle, who has worked between the USA and Japan for over a decade, totally nails it, both tonally and visually, allowing the look and feel of the film to gradually darken in tone, as the various component parts of the intricately constructed narrative start to click together, the mystery of precisely what is going on and why starts to unfold, and we come face to face with the long-buried secrets both of the haunted house, and of the film’s likeable but defensive and damaged protagonist. Eerie, and unsettling, with an appealing vein of quirky humour, and a quiet undertow of sorrow and regret, this is a smart, subtle, and narratively satisfying character driven story of the supernatural, which builds to a powerful, gut-punch ending. 

It plays at the Harris Theater in downtown's Cultural District (map) and tickets are available online.

New 4K restoration of 1964 Japanese horror film anthology Kwaidan (怪談) in Pittsburgh, from October 8.

The 1964 Japanese horror film anthology Kwaidan (怪談) will play in Pittsburgh from October 8 through 13, part of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's International Art House series.

New 4K Restoration! Original Japanese Cut! 

Spirits in the drinking water, stolen ears, crabs with human faces: such are the endless wonders of Kwaidan. A haunting masterpiece of world cinema, Kwaidan remains one of the most visually astonishing horror films ever made. Directed by the legendary Japanese filmmaker Masaki Kobayashi (Harakiri) and based on the collected folklore Lafcadio Hearn, this anthology film presents four supernatural tales: a doomed samurai haunted by his past, a snow spirit's deadly bargain, a blind musician performing for the dead, and a mysterious encounter with a man who cannot stop smiling. 

Produced during the golden age of Japanese cinema, Kwaidan was an ambitious and extraordinarily expensive undertaking, with Kobayashi constructing elaborate expressionistic sets that transform traditional ghost stories into breathtaking cinematic nightmares. Eschewing realism in favor of stylized color palettes, theatrical staging, and an eerie, avant-garde soundscape by composer Toru Takemitsu (Akira Kurosawa’s Ran), the film created a visual language that continues to influence filmmakers more than sixty years later. This new restoration of Kwaidan reflects the full, original three-hour cut of the film as originally released in Japan. 

It plays at the Harris Theater in downtown's Cultural District (map) and tickets are available online.

Imagine a musical version of Hamlet set to a juicy, tripped-out bass hook.

The psychedelic riffs are courtesy of Jang Young Gyu (that’s Mr. Jang to you), Leenalchi’s enigmatic leader. Born in 1968, Mr. Jang has witnessed the unprecedented popularity of Korean culture reach every corner of the planet from within. Even on this EP, you’ll find evidence of that reach in their cover of “Let’s Live for Today” by Los Angeles rock band, The Grass Roots. Leenalchi’s version was originally recorded for Kagonada’s acclaimed adaptation of Min Jin Lee’s bestselling novel, Pachinko, and was used as the theme song in the final episode.

In a landscape dominated by the K-pop industry, Mr. Jang represents the country’s small but dedicated indie music scene; he is also a prestigious film composer, scoring soundtracks for some of Korea’s most celebrated movies like Train to Busan, The Wailing, and The Good, the Bad, the Weird.
