is a baseball park under construction in Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido. It will be the future home of the Nippon Professional Baseball's Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters and is scheduled to open in March, 2023. It will have a retractable roof and a capacity of 35,000 people. The stadium will be designed and built by HKS Architects and the Obayashi Corporation. The area immediately surrounding the stadium will be developed into Hokkaido Ballpark F Village, containing commercial facilities and restaurants for Fighters fans. History
100_1
Background
100_2
In early 2016, Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) team the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters began considering constructing a new stadium in or around Sapporo. Since first relocating to Sapporo from Tokyo in 2004, the Fighters have played their home games in Sapporo Dome, a multi-purpose stadium. Instead of being owned and operated by the team, the Dome is instead owned by the city of Sapporo and is operated and managed by Sapporo Dome Co., Ltd., a voluntary sector company funded by the city and its community. At the time, Sapporo Dome was charging the Fighters approximately ¥16 million per game to play at the facility in front of a capacity crowd. Annually, the team was spending around ¥1.3 billion to play there. Additionally, Nippon Ham does not make any money on concessions or advertising in the stadium during games. The high rental fees, loss of in-stadium sales revenue, and inflexibility of a multi-purpose facility all contributed to Nippon Ham's decision to explore building their own

stadium. The team was considering 15 to 20 sites in Hokkaido as candidates to build their new ballpark, including the campus of Hokkaido University in Kita-ku, Sapporo, the Makomanai district in Minami-ku, Sapporo, and the planned "Kitahiroshima Sports Park" site in Kitahiroshima, a Sapporo suburb.
100_4
In December 2016, NPB announced that it set up a task force in collaboration with Nippon Ham to further the new stadium project and have a firm plan in place by March 2018. The following day, the mayor of Kitahiroshima met team representatives to propose its sports park concept. It offered up 20 of the 36 hectares at its "Kitahiroshima Sports Park" site for a natural grass, retractable roof baseball stadium capable of seating 30,000 people. Additionally, the site would be home to an indoor practice field, training facilities, and commercial space. Initially, Sapporo appealed to the team to continue playing at Sapporo Dome, even offering to make the facility a baseball-only stadium. After Nippon Ham continued to pursue new construction and with Kitahiroshima quickly offering up a plan, however, the city quickly began looking for suitable sites for a new stadium to avoid the prospect of the team leaving. Four months later, Sapporo offered up two locations: 10 hectares at Hokkaido
100_5
University and 13 hectares Toyohira-ku; both sites, however, were quickly deemed unusable due to various circumstances. With negotiations with Kitahiroshima continuing, Sapporo offered a third site by the end of 2017—Makomanai Park. The city proposed redevelopeding 20 hectares of the park into a baseball campus that included restaurants and commercial facilities with the new stadium being built in place of the park's aging Makomanai Open Stadium after its proposed demolition.
100_6
As planned, a decision was made the following March with Kitahiroshima's Sports Park site being chosen as the home of the Fighters' new ballpark. Concerns regarding the conservation of Makomanai Park's natural environment and opposition from local residents played a part in the decision not to redevelop the area. Furthermore, Kitahiroshima's larger, 36-hectares location provided more space to construct the stadium and its planned surrounding facilities. The city also agreed pay for the cost of infrastructure development, lease the land to Nippon-Ham free of charge, and exempt the ballpark and other park facilities from property tax and city planning tax for 10 years. Development and construction
100_7
The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters and Major League Baseball's (MLB) Texas Rangers announced a partnership agreement in early 2018. At the time, the Rangers were constructing a new ballpark, Globe Life Field, and they advised the Fighters on their plans to build their new stadium in Hokkaido. Nippon Ham revealed the basic stadium design and further details later that year. The 35,000-seat ballpark was designed by architecture firm HKS, the architect of Globe Life Field, and features a retractable roof and natural grass. Owned and operated by Nippon Ham, its construction is estimated to cost ¥60 billion ($530 million). In January 2020, real estate company ES-Con Japan acquired the naming rights to the stadium, with the surrounding area known as Hokkaido Ballpark F Village.
100_8
The ground breaking ceremony for the stadium was held on April 13, 2020. With the stadium planned to be operational for the 2023 NPB season, the Fighters hoped to host opening day at their new facility. The team scheduled to hold the opening day game that year, the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, agreed to transfer the game to Nippon-Ham after a year of negotiations. Design and features ES CON Field Hokkaido will feature Japan’s second retractable stadium roof after Fukuoka PayPay Dome and the first with natural grass. The retractable roof will allow for the ballpark to be completely enclosed during Hokkaido's cold, snowy winters. The large, transparent "glass wall" on the outfield-side of the stadium will help to support a grass field when the roof is closed. The roof's high peak is meant to be reminiscent of a traditional Hokkaido home.
100_9
In addition to being only the fifth grass field in NPB, it will also be only field other than Mazda Stadium to have an asymmetrical outfield wall. Sapporo Dome, which is also used as a soccer stadium, has approximately twice as much foul territory as other NPB stadiums. In comparison, ES CON Field's field of play will be will be 15% smaller than at Sapporo Dome. The distance from home plate to the backstop will be 15 meters.
100_10
A five-story building dubbed "Tower 11" for the number that both Yu Darvish and Shohei Ohtani wore during their tenures with the Fighters will stand beyond the left field seats. The facility includes seating, a bar, an onsen hot spring sauna, and a hotel, and is planned to be open year-round including on non-game days. While the Eagles' Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi in Sendai features lodging accommodations onsite, ES-CON Field's hotel will be the first ballpark in Japan to have rooms that overlook the field, similar to the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada. It will have twelve rooms capable of accommodating a total of 54 people
100_11
The stadium would also feature 2 86x16 video displays on each stand on 1st and 3rd base. On the main entrance at the 1st base side would be a plaza named Fighters Legend Square, a symbol of continuity of the past and future. It would have "Ebetsu Bricks" engraved of names of fans and legends of the Fighters like Sho Nakata, Trey Hillman, Shohei Othani, Yu Darvish, Haruki Nishikawa, Hideki Kuriyama, etc. Until December 20, 2021, fans could purchase the rights to have their name engraved on one of the Ebetsu Bricks to be placed in Fighters Legend Square. This is similar to other stadiums that did this in the past, like Petco Park, in which fans could purchase bricks which would be placed outside the concourse to commemorate them. Outside the park, in F Village, there would be an farm area, which would be an agricultural area using state-of-the-art agricultural technologies from Kubota. Hokkaido University would be a technical exhibition partner.
100_12
ES-CON Japan, aside from getting the naming rights, would also build a luxury apartment named "Le Jade Hokkaido Ball Park", which would be 2 14-story high rise residences. Residents will also be given a free 10 year annual pass to the stadium. ES CON Field will have one of the largest indoor and outdoor playgrounds which would be built by Bournelund, a company based out of Shibuya, Tokyo, that makes indoor playground equipment. The playground would be divided to different zones for preschoolers to upper grades of elementary so they can play safely and securely. The ballpark would also have a flagship store which will have the largest footprint ever in its history. It would have a unique shopping experience that would touch on the history and content of the stadium, which can only be experienced at the store.
100_13
A miniature version of the ballpark would be built outside in F Village. It would be built because they hope that "a future Fighter" would born from the children that would play at the miniature park. The stadium would also have a wide concourse with an uninterrupted view of the field. The stadium would also have VIP rooms and lounge services that provide high quality-service for guests who want a higher quality experience like watching games and gourmet food.
100_14
Access Currently, Kita-Hiroshima Station on Hokkaido Railway Company's Chitose Line is the closest train station to the stadium. In anticipation of the opening of ES CON Field in 2023, the west exit of the station is being expanded and a shuttle bus terminal is being added to provide access directly to the stadium from the station. With the walk from Kita-Hiroshima Station to the stadium being approximately 20 minutes, a tentative plan to build a new station closer to ballpark with bridge directly connecting the two was announced in 2019. The earliest it could open, however, would be 2027, five years after the anticipated opening of ES CON Field. The Fighters’ stadium is also expected to have parking for 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles, unusual for ballparks in Japan which generally rely solely on public transportation.

Jean-Marc Prouveur (born 17 December 1956, Saint-Quentin, France) is a French artist and filmmaker. He attended L'Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Cambrai. A seminal figure in the vanguard of London's Punk movement of the 1970's, Prouveur has always moved with the times. His work is owned by the Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest, The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, The Victoria and Albert Museum, London and collections including those of Rodolf Nureyev and Robert Mapplethorpe. He is one of the most stylish allegorists of our time and his work constitutes an intense, lyrical, and sometimes dark meditation on modern life. On arriving in London in 1976, he became involved in the circle of Derek Jarman, and subsequently, in the making of the 1977 film Jubilee.
101_1
For much of the 1980s Prouveur worked independently in the photographic medium, creating artworks characterized by the "outlaw sexuality" of the male nude, punctuated by religious iconography, showing in London, Paris, New York City, Amsterdam, Rome and many other cities worldwide. He acknowledges artistic precedents in F. Holland Day and Wilhelm von Gloeden, and to a shared artistic preoccupation with contemporaries Robert Mapplethorpe and Gilbert and George. In 1991 the Terrence Higgins Trust commissioned Prouveur a series of printed flyers entitled 'Tales of Gay Sex' with information on HIV transmission, photo stories depicting scenarios between gay men and a helpline for the Terrence Higgins Trust. In the early 1990s Prouveur moved into film, launching his Liquid London studio. His early short films, Dance Macabre and the Georges Bataille-inspired Solar Anus were elegies to AIDS; later in the decade he moved closer to pornography.
101_2
Back in 2004, it may have been a surprise to some when Legionnaires upset releases from bigger studios to walk away with the GAYVN Award for Best Foreign Release. But for fans who have been following Liquid London's rise since it started in 1992, the accolades were long overdue. The studio is the passion of Jean-Marc Prouveur, a successful French photographer who turned his attention to film after his success with shooting male nudes hit big in shows across the globe. "He attended art school in France from 1973 to 1976, and then came to London where he met several artists, such as Derek Jarman, David Hockney and Rudolf Nureyev. Photographic exhibitions worldwide followed. He then moved on to experimental/underground films shown in festivals worldwide from 1993 to 1999."
101_3
Prouveur has a natural affection for the male body, and his undoubted photographic talents aided him in transforming that love to photography and video. Liquid London started making art house films then softcore releases, but when laws in the United Kingdom changed in 1999, the studio entered the hardcore realm. And with the release of Heat & Lust — Postcards to a Pornographer, Liquid London found a new North American attention. Prouveur's work is influenced by a wide variety of film from classic mainstream cinema on an international scale. "Many films stand out, starting with Pink Narcissus, which he saw in 1975, together with Jean Genet's Un Chant d'Amour and most of Jean Cocteau's 'films, without forgetting the avant-garde in France from the '70s: Godard, Truffaut. Or the experimental films from the States with Warhol, Morrissey, Curt McDowell and Russ Meyer."
101_4
The Italian "new wave" from the 1960s - which included directors Bernardo Bertolucci and Federico Fellini - also had an influence, followed by the exciting new generation of filmmakers from Spain (like Pedro Almodovar) and Britain (Danny Boyle). "So many films stand out for their sheer magic and their power to transport you into a world you could not have imagined. Guillermo del Toro is another filmmaker that stands out for Jean-Marc because of his astonishing magical tales. As for his own films, he is very proud of Gamins D' Auvergne, The Prisoner's Song, The Manor, Beast and both Legionnaires, without forgetting Polish Pleasures or Spanish Obsessions and his very first 'hardcore' movie, though he had already made over 30 erotic films prior to Lust & Betrayal. For the very same reason, he admires so-called mainstream films, with their abilities to mesmerize you and offer you a peep into someone else's universe.
101_5
Prouveur believes that adult films are no different from any other genre, and therefore ought to have a comprehensive storyline to carry the viewer along within its erotic universe. "The films in general are either based on real-life characters, such as in Gamins d'Auvergne - where Jean-Marc has sought inspiration from Wilhelm von Gloeden, the 19th-century gay photographer - or on fictitious stories such as Rascals or Lust & Betrayal." Prouveur now divides his time between London and Auvergne, France. He continues to experiment in photography and film whilst researching an essay on the history of pornography and its place in art.

Gladys is a female name from the Welsh name Gwladus or Gwladys, which bears the meaning of royalty (princess); conversely, it has been speculated to originally be from the Latin diminutive "gladiolus", meaning small sword hence the gladiolus flowering plant. It may be used as a Welsh variant of Claudia, meaning lame. People

Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau (, , ; 5 July 1889 – 11 October 1963) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, filmmaker, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost creatives of the surrealist, avant-garde, and Dadaist movements; and one of the most influential figures in early 20th-century art as a whole. The National Observer suggested that, “of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man.”
107_1
He is best known for his novels Le Grand Écart (1923), Le Livre Blanc (1928), and Les Enfants Terribles (1929); the stage plays La Voix Humaine (1930), La Machine Infernale (1934), Les Parents terribles (1938), La Machine à écrire (1941), and L'Aigle à deux têtes (1946); and the films The Blood of a Poet (1930), Les Parents Terribles (1948), Beauty and the Beast (1946), Orpheus (1950), and Testament of Orpheus (1960), which alongside Blood of a Poet and Orpheus constitute the so-called Orphic Trilogy. He was described as "one of [the] avant-garde's most successful and influential filmmakers" by AllMovie. Cocteau, according to Annette Insdorf, “left behind a body of work unequalled for its variety of artistic expression.”
107_2
Though his body of work encompassed many different mediums, Cocteau insisted on calling himself a poet, classifying the great variety of his works – poems, novels, plays, essays, drawings, films – as "poésie", "poésie de roman", "poésie de thêatre", "poésie critique", "poésie graphique" and "poésie cinématographique". Biography
107_3
Early life Cocteau was born in Maisons-Laffitte, Yvelines, a town near Paris, to Georges Cocteau and his wife, Eugénie Lecomte; a socially prominent Parisian family. His father, a lawyer and amateur painter, committed suicide when Cocteau was nine. From 1900 to 1904, Cocteau attended the Lycée Condorcet where he met and began a relationship with schoolmate Pierre Dargelos, who would reappear throughout Cocteau's oeuvre. He left home at fifteen. He published his first volume of poems, Aladdin's Lamp, at nineteen. Cocteau soon became known in Bohemian artistic circles as The Frivolous Prince, the title of a volume he published at twenty-two. Edith Wharton described him as a man "to whom every great line of poetry was a sunrise, every sunset the foundation of the Heavenly City..." Early career
107_4
In his early twenties, Cocteau became associated with the writers Marcel Proust, André Gide, and Maurice Barrès. In 1912, he collaborated with Léon Bakst on Le Dieu bleu for the Ballets Russes; the principal dancers being Tamara Karsavina and Vaslav Nijinsky. During World War I, Cocteau served in the Red Cross as an ambulance driver. This was the period in which he met the poet Guillaume Apollinaire, artists Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani, and numerous other writers and artists with whom he later collaborated. Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev persuaded Cocteau to write a scenario for a ballet, which resulted in Parade in 1917. It was produced by Diaghilev, with sets by Picasso, the libretto by Apollinaire and the music by Erik Satie. "If it had not been for Apollinaire in uniform," wrote Cocteau, "with his skull shaved, the scar on his temple and the bandage around his head, women would have gouged our eyes out with hairpins."

An important exponent of avant-garde art, Cocteau had great influence on the work of others, including a group of composers known as Les six. In the early twenties, he and other members of Les six frequented a wildly popular bar named Le Boeuf sur le Toit, a name that Cocteau himself had a hand in picking. The popularity was due in no small measure to the presence of Cocteau and his friends. Friendship with Raymond Radiguet
107_6
In 1918 he met the French poet Raymond Radiguet. They collaborated extensively, socialized, and undertook many journeys and vacations together. Cocteau also got Radiguet exempted from military service. Admiring of Radiguet's great literary talent, Cocteau promoted his friend's works in his artistic circle and arranged for the publication by Grasset of Le Diable au corps (a largely autobiographical story of an adulterous relationship between a married woman and a younger man), exerting his influence to have the novel awarded the "Nouveau Monde" literary prize. Some contemporaries and later commentators thought there might have been a romantic component to their friendship. Cocteau himself was aware of this perception, and worked earnestly to dispel the notion that their relationship was sexual in nature.
107_7
There is disagreement over Cocteau's reaction to Radiguet's sudden death in 1923, with some claiming that it left him stunned, despondent and prey to opium addiction. Opponents of that interpretation point out that he did not attend the funeral (he generally did not attend funerals) and immediately left Paris with Diaghilev for a performance of Les noces (The Wedding) by the Ballets Russes at Monte Carlo. Cocteau himself much later characterised his reaction as one of "stupor and disgust." His opium addiction at the time, Cocteau said, was only coincidental, due to a chance meeting with Louis Laloy, the administrator of the Monte Carlo Opera. Cocteau's opium use and his efforts to stop profoundly changed his literary style. His most notable book, Les Enfants Terribles, was written in a week during a strenuous opium weaning. In , he recounts the experience of his recovery from opium addiction in 1929. His account, which includes vivid pen-and-ink illustrations, alternates between his
107_8
moment-to-moment experiences of drug withdrawal and his current thoughts about people and events in his world. Cocteau was supported throughout his recovery by his friend and correspondent, Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain. Under Maritain's influence Cocteau made a temporary return to the sacraments of the Catholic Church. He again returned to the Church later in life and undertook a number of religious art projects.

Further works On 15 June 1926 Cocteau's play Orphée was staged in Paris. It was quickly followed by an exhibition of drawings and "constructions" called Poésie plastique–objets, dessins. Cocteau wrote the libretto for Igor Stravinsky's opera-oratorio Oedipus rex, which had its original performance in the Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt in Paris on 30 May 1927. In 1929 one of his most celebrated and well known works, the novel Les Enfants terribles was published.
107_10
In 1930 Cocteau made his first film The Blood of a Poet, publicly shown in 1932. Though now generally accepted as a surrealist film, the surrealists themselves did not accept it as a truly surrealist work. Although this is one of Cocteau's best known works, his 1930s are notable rather for a number of stage plays, above all La Voix humaine and Les Parents terribles, which was a popular success. His 1934 play La Machine infernale was Cocteau's stage version of the Oedipus legend and is considered to be his greatest work for the theater. During this period Cocteau also published two volumes of journalism, including Mon Premier Voyage: Tour du Monde en 80 jours, a neo-Jules Verne around the world travel reportage he made for the newspaper Paris-Soir. 1940–1944

Biographer James S. Williams describes Cocteau's politics as "naturally Right-leaning." During the Nazi occupation of France, he was in a "round-table" of French and German intellectuals who met at the Georges V Hotel in Paris, including Cocteau, the writers Ernst Jünger, Paul Morand and Henry Millon de Montherlant, the publisher Gaston Gallimard and the Nazi legal scholar Carl Schmitt. His friend Arno Breker convinced him that Adolf Hitler was a pacifist and patron of the arts with France's best interests in mind. In his diary, Cocteau accused France of disrespect towards Hitler and speculated on the Führer's sexuality. Cocteau effusively praised Breker's sculptures in an article entitled 'Salut à Breker' published in 1942. This piece caused him to be arraigned on charges of collaboration after the war, though he was cleared of any wrongdoing and had used his contacts to his failed attempt to save friends such as Max Jacob.

In 1940, Le Bel Indifférent, Cocteau's play written for and starring Édith Piaf (who died the day before Cocteau), was enormously successful. Later years Cocteau's later years are mostly associated with his films. Cocteau's films, most of which he both wrote and directed, were particularly important in introducing the avant-garde into French cinema and influenced to a certain degree the upcoming French New Wave genre. Following The Blood of a Poet (1930), his best known films include Beauty and the Beast (1946), Les Parents terribles (1948), and Orpheus (1949). His final film, Le Testament d'Orphée (The Testament of Orpheus) (1960), featured appearances by Picasso and matador Luis Miguel Dominguín, along with Yul Brynner, who also helped finance the film.
