SUMMARY:Ceramic Design For Sake Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Ceramic Design For Sake Exhibition\nDisplay of the contemporary\, industrial design for Japanese rice wine Sake. Through the craftsmanship and original creativity imbedded in those design products the exhibition examine Japanese tradition and aesthetic sensitivity. \n  \n日本酒のための陶磁器デザイン展 \n日本酒のために制作された現代のデザイン作品を、陶磁器に特定して展示し、 \nデザインに込められた創意や配慮を通じて、日本人の美意識を探求する。 \n \n  \nAugust 7 – October 9\, 2019 \nGALLERY HOURS \nMon 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nTues 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nWed 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nThurs 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nFri 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \n  \nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto \n2 Bloor Street East \nHudson’s Bay Centre\, 3rd floor \nAbove Royal Bank of Canada \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229 \n  \nADMISSION: FREE \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nAugust 10\, 24\, September 7\, 21\, October 5 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nSeptember 2 (Labour Day) \n  \nCeramic Design for Sake\n \nSake\, often referred to as Japanese rice wine\, is the national beverage of Japan.  Mythological documents call Japan by the name Mizuho-no-kuni or Land of Abundant Rice Fields\, and the rice was gifted to the nation by the sun goddess Amaterasu from her divine rice paddies in heaven.  In Shinto ceremonies sake has been one of the most sacred offerings to the gods alongside rice. \n  \nPeople in the Land of Abundant Rice Fields developed their rich tradition in serving sake\, devising various sets of cups and servers.  When sake is served hot\, Tokkuri\, a bulbous flask with a narrow neck\, is used in order to prevent the heat from escaping.  For room-temperature serving\, Katakuchi\, spouted vessels\, are also used. \n  \nThe cups used for drinking sake are generally small because of the relatively higher percentage of alcohol by volume\, 18-20 %\, and the customary appreciation method of taking little sips.  Choko is a cylindrical vessel which can comfortably rest between index finger and thumb.  On casual occasions the Guinomi without Kōdai foot can work as a shot glass.  For ceremonial use\, the serving vessel would be the flatter\, wide-mouthed Sakazuki. \n  \nThe Land of Abundant Rice Fields also has a long successful history as The Land of Ceramics dating back even to the prehistoric era.  Current ceramic industry centres across Japan all have a history of over 300 years.  Receptacles for sake serving can be crafted out of wood\, lacquered wood\, glass or plastic\, but the ceramic industry provided the vast majority of the tools for appreciation of the national beverage. \n  \nThe production of sake in Japan has been declining since the mid-1970s\, competing in the market against beer\, wine\, and spirits.  However\, the quality of the products\, thanks to new brewing technology\, surpassed the past standard.  Sake is appreciated not only in Japan\, but worldwide.  In this new environment and conditions\, the contemporary ceramic industry in Japan expressed their creativity in their product design. \n  \nIn this exhibition\, over 130 pieces from local studios in the ceramic centres of Aichi\, Gifu\, Nagasaki\, and Saga are on display.  These are industrial products from studios or factories\, not from artisans’ private studios.  The exhibits are mass-produced\, but not necessarily machine-made\, in fact most are handcrafted.  The goal of these new designs must be contemporary and global: a deeper\, more sophisticated appreciation of sake in ordinary lives by a wider range of people\, including those overseas.

SUMMARY:Post-3.11 Auditory Cultures: Sonic Responses to Life After Loss
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores sound-based cultural productions made by those affected by the disasters that occurred and began in March 2011—the earthquake\, tsunami\, and radiation release. These include a sound artist signaling radiation uncertainties and political geographies in an art installation; a phone booth built to allow users to communicate with their deceased loved ones; a musician who samples voices and soundscapes from her lost hometown; a Fukushima University professor conducting an ongoing soundscape archive. The productions gesture at ongoing social issues in subtle ways afforded by sound and recording. In other words\, they force us to ask: how to listen to radiation that never sounds\, to hear a house that is not there\, to attend closely to voices unsure of what to say? \nJosh Trichilo is a PhD candidate in the Humanities department at York University\, Toronto\, and was a 2018-2019 Japan Foundation Fellow. Josh’s work focuses on sound\, auditory culture\, media\, and trauma. Informed by both the fellowship and his experiences as a JET participant in Fukushima from 2011-2014\, he studies soundscape archiving\, sound art\, and experimental music among those affected by the 2011 Tōhoku triple disaster. \n
