# Steve Alpert

Stephen M. Alpert (born 1949 or 1950) is a former senior executive at Studio Ghibli. He published a memoir detailing his work in the studio in 2020.

## Biography

Stephen M. Alpert was born in 1949 or 1950. A native of the state of Connecticut in the United States, he partially lived in Japan from 1974 to 1979, mostly in Kyoto and partly in Tokyo. In 1976, he started studying Japanese literature under Donald Keene at Columbia University, and earned his Master of Business Administration in 1981. He worked for Citibank in Tokyo as a vice president before serving as the president of Walt Disney Studios's Japanese television animation arm.
Alpert later worked with Studio Ghibli, including as part of its parent company Tokuma International, for 15 years between 1996 and 2011 as a senior executive, heading their international department and acting as their spokesperson with foreign third parties during that time. He represented the studio in negotiations with Disney and Miramax Films. During the production of the English dub of Princess Mononoke (1997), Alpert assisted Neil Gaiman with the translation of the script. Alpert returned to New Haven, Connecticut, in 2012, after leaving Studio Ghibli.
In 2020, Alpert published Sharing a House with the Never-Ending Man, a memoir about his co-residence with Studio Ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki and experiences working at the animation studio. The cover features Castorp, a character from The Wind Rises (2013) based on and voiced by Alpert. It was originally published in 2016 as a Japanese-language edition titled I Am a Gaijin: The Man Who Sold Ghibli to the World. Stone Bridge Press published the English version and included it in a bundle on Japanese culture in 2022.
Tokyo Weekender's Nick Narigon felt that the book "humanizes" Miyazaki, a divergence from other accounts of that focus on his "eccentricities and notoriously demanding work ethic." Andrew Osmond, reviewing for Anime News Network, appreciated the comedic anecdotes featured in the book and found the prose in between "dry, but still hugely enlightening." Publishers Weekly, however, wrote that the book's "workmanlike" writing would more easily attract an audience of foreign immigrants in Japan than fans of Studio Ghibli works.
In 2022, Stone Bridge Press published Alpert's novel Kyoto Stories, a series of connected stories following an American student in Kyoto in the 1970s.

## Caves

These caves are arranged in three lines; the first line on the north-facing southwards, the second line on the south from the east end of the first line, and the third line runs back of the second line in west-north-west. The second line has a primitive flat-roofed chaitya cave having simple cells on either side of it with extra cells on the north and east of it.
The Bava Pyara caves were visited by James Burgess, an English archaeologist and founder of The Indian Antiquary. He concluded that they have affiliated with both Buddhism and Jainism. According to Burgess these caves were initially built for Buddhists bhikkhus and were in a later period occupied by Jain ascetics. He was not certain about the exact age of the ancient caves. One fragmentary inscription was found in the Bava Pyara cave that affirms its affiliation to Jainism because one term in that inscription is exclusively used by Jains. The inscription was read as "केवलज्ञान संप्राप्तानां जीतजरामरणानां ".
The term kevalgyan was used exclusively by Jains. Scholar H. D. Sankalia attributes these caves to Jainism because of some auspicious symbols typical of Jainism that is depicted above the door's frame. Sankalia recorded about eleven auspicious symbols, "Nandhyavarta", "Swastika", "Darpan", "Bhadrasana", "Meen Yugal" and "Purna Ghata". Such symbols were also found on Ayagpattas from Kankali Teela Mathura. About five such symbols are found in another cave of Bava pyara Caves. These symbols are in a bad state and not recorded, although they were identified as Darpan, Meen Yugal, Purna Ghat, Meen Yugal, Darpan. On a small entrance of one of the caves in the second row at the south end are two symbols depicting Vyala figures. Burgess and Sanklia failed to notice them. According to Madhusudan Dhaky, based on the Vyala figure, the Bava pyara cave is from the 2nd or 3rd century AD. Sankalia claimed that the Chaityagruh containing cave should be at least from the 2nd century BC, and caves with symbols carving should be hailed from 2nd or 3rd century AD.

The Indrasala Cave, also called Indrasila Guha or Indrasaila Cave, is a cave site mentioned in Buddhist texts.

## Legend

In the Sakkapañha Sutta sermon, the Buddha addresses Sakra (also known as Indra) accompanied by Pancasikha (also known as Kubera). After some harp-playing by Pancasikha, Indra asks 42 questions to the Buddha, which he answers. The teachings in this Indrasala Cave Sutta is, in part, the basis for the Theravada tradition of punna (earning merit) and varam (favor).

## Location

Buddhist texts mention the Indrasala Cave to be in the Vediya or Vediyaka mountain, to the north of Ambasanda, near Rajagrha.
Since the 19th century, many scholars had attempted to identify this hill and the location of the Indrasala Cave where Buddha lived. Alexander Cunningham believed it to be in modern Giryak.
