SUMMARY:A Sense of Movement: Japanese Sports Posters
DESCRIPTION:A Sense of Movement: Japanese Sports Posters\nSports Poster Exhibition\nApril 20—September 9\, 2023\n \nA Sense of Movement: Japanese Sports Posters\, co-presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and the DNP Foundation for Cultural Promotion\, is an exhibition that explores the connection between Japanese graphic design and sports. \nPrior to Toronto\, the in-person presentations in Sydney (October 2021 – January 2022) and in Paris (December 2022 – March 2023) featured a selection of 31 posters by eight Japanese graphic designers. This exhibition then arrived in Toronto with an extended range of exhibits\, a total of 68 pieces by 24 designers from young professionals who are currently active in the field to great masters who led the dawn of graphic design. The exhibition introduces the means by which these uniquely creative minds convey sport and its “sense of movement” through two-dimensional printed media. \nThis exhibition was planned and inspired by an online lecture by Eishi KITAZAWA\, curator at Ginza Graphic Gallery’s “Conjuring a Sense of Movement: Japanese Graphic Designers & Sports Posters” organized by The Japan Foundation\, London in September 2020. The exhibition was born online and has been growing in-person world-wide. \nHere in this extended selection the compositional beauty\, dynamism and humour expressed within these Japanese posters are communicated through the perspective of sports. You experience the fruit of Japan’s rich graphic design culture during the half century between the first Olympic Games in Japan and the present time. \n \nExhibitors: AOBA Masuteru\, ASABA Katsumi\, FUKUDA Shigeo\, KAMEKURA Yūsaku\, KASAI Kaoru\, SATOH Taku\, TANAKA Ikkō\, UENISHI Yuri\, YOKOO Tadanori\, SANO Kenjirō\, SOEDA Takayuki\, NAGAI Hiroaki\, WATANABE Yoshie\, NODA Nagi\, MATSUNAGA Shin\, ISHIOKA Eiko\, SAKAE Ryōta\, HOSOYA Gan\, KUBOTA Arata\, KOSUGI Kōichi\, HATTORI Kazunari\, YOSHIDA Katsu\, NODA Sayo (Hakuhōdō)\, GROOVISIONS \n \nAdmission: FREE \nDue to the security of the exhibition pieces and COVID-19 precautions\, we ask our patrons to register for our hourly timeslots in advance.

Mr. Fukumoto will talk about his career as a professional horse jockey\, his achievements at Canada’s own Woodbine Racetrack\, the cultures of horseracing in Japan versus Canada\, as well as his feats on the international stage. Horse racing fans and laypeople alike will wish to tune in as we discuss Mr. Fukumoto’s training regime\, a modern-day jockey’s relationship with animals\, as well as his hopes for the welfare of racehorses after retirement. \nThis is an in-person ONLY event\, and prior registration is required. A Q+A with the audience will immediately follow the jockey talk.  \n \nDaisuke Fukumoto\, originally from Japan\, began his career as a jockey at Woodbine Racetrack in Canada back in 2017 and has since become a prominent figure in the sport. With a remarkable track record of 261 victories and earning over $10 million in jockey earnings\, Fukumoto’s dedication and talent have made him one of the most successful jockeys around. \nAmong his most notable victories\, Daisuke Fukumoto achieved a significant feat by winning two-thirds of the Canadian Triple Crown in 2020\, triumphing in both the Queen’s Plate and the Prince of Wales Stakes. He also clinched victory in the 2021 G1 Woodbine Mile at Woodbine Racetrack\, showcasing his exceptional skills in high-profile races. Moreover\, his talent extended beyond Canadian borders\, as he secured a significant win in the 2022 San Simeon Stakes at Santa Anita Park. Daisuke Fukumoto’s journey in horse racing is a testament to his determination and passion for the sport. \n \nModerator \nMark Hashimoto is a second generation Japanese-Canadian born and raised in Toronto. \nMark has been working for almost 10 years now at Air Canada\, currently in the position as Manager\, Specialty Sales – Asia looking after travel agency accounts.
