[What is "Shaberu-kkizumu!" Interview Series on Yoga Journal Online?]

"Lookism" (lookism/appearance-based discrimination) is the act of judging or mocking people based on their appearance. While the term is becoming more recognized, it is still a concept that is not fully understood. With the concept of "Let's talk about everything!" such as "What is lookism?" and "Is this also lookism?", this series features Yuna Maekawa, who has personally experienced suffering from lookism and writes a column about lookism on Yoga Journal Online, discussing the topic with guests.

This special edition will feature a live talk event at Seibu Shibuya Store! Mika Horii, an announcer, will be the guest speaker, and the theme of their discussion will be "Acknowledging 'Us' in a Lookist Society."
