SUMMARY:NINGYŌ: Art and Beauty of Japanese Dolls
DESCRIPTION:To book a visit to see this exhibition\, please take a look at the guidelines and acknowledgement page:\nBook Your Visit Here \nThe traveling exhibition NINGYŌ: Art and Beauty of Japanese Doll has been produced afresh in spring 2020 by The Japan Foundation Headquarters\, Tokyo. The Japanese word for “doll\,” NINGYŌ\, which literally means “human shape\,” points out the origin of a long tradition of dolls in Japan. The doll culture that has flourished over the long history of Japan will be introduced in this exhibition through over 70 dolls\, divided into 5 sections: “Ningyō to pray for children’s growth\,” “Ningyō as fine art\,” “Ningyō as folk art\,” “Spread of Ningyō culture\,” and “Ningyō and performing arts.” \nJapanese doll culture could be characterized by its diversity of dolls and their delicate craftsmanship\, backed by a deep love. This exhibition presents a comprehensive introduction to Japanese doll culture\, from Katashiro and Amagatsu from ancient animistic tradition\, which are considered to be the archetypes of dolls in Japan\, to local dolls that reflect the climate and anecdotes from across the country\, to contemporary products\, such as factory-mass-produced dress-up dolls like Licca-chan that are beloved in Japan today as doll toys and intricate anime-based figures that are highly regarded around the world. \nThe fact that dolls are an indispensable part of people’s daily lives is not limited to Japan\, but you can find so many dolls in every household in Japan. The dolls are not only toys\, but sometimes share spiritual functions\, and can be one of the artworks to decorate homes\, or memorabilia/souvenirs of family trips. People purchase the dolls\, but also make them with their own hands. Doll making is a popular hobby in diverse styles and materials\, enforcing the bond between the Japanese nation and its dolls. \nAdmission: FREE \nGallery Hours: 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM • 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM \n\n\n\nMonday\nCLOSED\n\n\nTuesday\nOPEN\n\n\nWednesday\nCLOSED\n\n\nThursday\nOPEN\n\n\nFriday\nCLOSED\n\n\nSaturday & Sunday\nCLOSED

Instead of resisting\, the boy chooses to suffer in complete resignation. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormentors. \nThese raw and realistic portrayals of bullying are counterbalanced by textured exposition of the philosophical and religious debates concerning violence to which the weak are subjected. \n\nWriter Kris Kosaka moved to Japan in 1996 to accept a position teaching high school English at an international school. She fell in love with the country and soon met her future husband\, Makoto. They made their home in Kamakura\, where Kris continued teaching and writing while raising their two children. Although temporarily in Tampa\, FL (her hometown) while their daughter completes her high school education in the States\, Kris’s heart is in Japan. In her spare time\, Kris enjoys reading and running. Kris is a frequent contributor to The Japan Times\, and a regular columnist for their Books pages. \n\nPrevious Book Clubs\n\nJFT Book Club Online: Manga – June 10\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Bring Your Own Book – April 8\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: The Memory Police – February 11\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Breasts and Egg – November 5\, 2020 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Travel Japan – August 20\, 2020 \n\nJFT Book Club Online – June 11\, 2020 \n\n\nMemoirs of a Polar Bear – February 20\, 2020 \n\nThe Little House – December 12\, 2019 \n\nMystery Book Club – October 10\, 2019 \n\nMovies and Books – August 8\, 2019 \n\n\nBooks and Tea – June 6\, 2019
