SUMMARY:Japanese Design Today 100
DESCRIPTION:August 6 – October 30\, 2014\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto\nThe exhibition Japanese Design Today 100 was first organized in 2004 and has been touring the world for the last ten years. This is a newly organized version of the same exhibition\, featuring 100 of the finest examples of Japanese design with a focus on everyday products. It combines superbly designed products of recent years with a group of modern designs from the 1950s through the 1990s that had a significant influence on the design of today. \nThe design of household products acts as a mirror\, reflecting the life of our society and the personal lifestyles of individuals. These designs give a vivid picture of the hopes and dreams of the people who use the products as well as the designers and corporations who create them. We hope that this exhibition will increase visitors’ knowledge of the recent trends and features of Japanese design and at the same time give them insights into the nature of today’s Japanese culture. \n  \n  \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Nagare furoshiki\, Asakura Senpu Co.\, 2006\n				\n			\n		\n\nJapanese Design Today 100 Hours\n\n\n\n\n	Monday11:30 am - 7:00 pm EXTENDED HOURS\n\n\n	Tuesday11:30 am - 4:30 pm\n\n\n	Wednesday11:30 am - 4:30 pm\n\n\n	Thursday11:30 am - 7:00 pm EXTENDED HOURS\n\n\n	Friday11:30 am - 4:30 pm\n\n\n	Select Saturdaysnoon - 5:00 pmAugust 9\, 23\nSeptember 6\, 27\nOctober 18\, 25\n\n\n	CLOSEDOther Saturdays\, Sundays\nAugust 4\nSeptember 1\nOctober 13

SUMMARY:Seiji Ozawa Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Seiji Ozawa in Toronto\nA Photography Exhibition of a Young Maestro\nSeiji Ozawa was the music director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra from 1965 to 1969\,  his first assignment leading a major orchestra. He was one of the pioneer Japanese artists who made a success abroad after World War II. Citizens of Toronto welcomed the young\, exotic conductor\, and the members of the Orchestra supported Ozawa’s exciting music-making and expansion of his repertoire. In the City of Toronto Archives numerous photographs of Ozawa are preserved. In fact\, the archivist says that the number of Ozawa images far exceeds that of any other Toronto Symphony Orchestra music director. In the late 1960s Toronto as a city was not yet fully international or extensively multicultural. Ozawa was at the starting point of his international career. In these images we can see the mutual stimulus and cooperative support for the growth of a promising future for an artist and of a city. \nLibrary & Gallery Opening Hours\n\n\n\n\n	MondayCLOSED\n\n\n	Tuesday11:30am to 4:30pm\n\n\n	WednesdayCLOSED\n\n\n	Thursday11:30am to 6:30pm\n\n\n	Friday11:30am to 4:30pm\n\n\n	Saturday11:30am to 4:30pm *Closed on select Saturdays\n\n\n\n	SundayCLOSED

SUMMARY:The Many Faces of Danjuro IX
DESCRIPTION:Stuart Jackson Gallery and The Japan Foundation present\nThe Many Faces of Danjuro IX:\nAn exhibition of original Kabuki Prints\nFebruary 6 – April 30\, 2014 \nIchikawa Danjuro IX (1838-1903) was one of the most celebrated actors of his time and was key to preserving and modernizing Kabuki theatre for the 20th century. \nThe Japan Foundation and the Stuart Jackson Gallery are proud to present an exhibition of original antique woodblock prints depicting many of the faces\, or roles\, of this pivotal actor. \nIchikawa Danjuro IX was a direct descendant of Ichikawa Danjuro I (1660-1704). Kabuki theatre was still evolving when the young Danjuro I adopted his stage name in 1675 and originated the popular acting style called aragoto. Most actors who inherited this prestigious name were his direct descendants\, but it was not a given for the son to succeed the father; the title had to be earned and this line of actors is renowned for its great skills and mastery of the art. Ichikawa Danjuro IX inherited the name in 1874 at a time when Japan was modernizing and Kabuki was competing against a variety of new forms of entertainment. He was one of the biggest stars of the late 19th century\, highly skilled in the traditional theatre\, yet flexible enough to incorporate innovations to keep Kabuki relevant in a changing world. \n“Danjuro\, the ninth\, was the bridge that spanned the sudden gulf which yawned between the traditional past and the uncertain and changing modern world. He may be regarded as the saviour of Kabuki during a period when it might have suffered shipwreck\, had there not been a man of genius at the helm to guide the craft through the troubled waters.” \n– Zoe Kincaid\, Kabuki: The Popular Stage Of Japan\, 1925 \nGallery Hours\nMonday: 11:30 am – 7:00 pm EXTENDED HOURS\nTuesday: 11:30 am – 4:30 pm\nWednesday: 11:30 am – 4:30 pm\nThursday: 11:30 am – 7:00 pm EXTENDED HOURS\nFriday: 11:30 am – 4:30 pm\nSaturday openings: Noon – 5:00 pm \nSaturday opening dates: February 8 & 22\, March 8 & 22\, April 12\, 26\nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays\, February 17 (Family Day)\, April 18 – 21 (Easter)

SUMMARY:Noh Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Yokohama Noh Theatre Photography Exhibition\nZeami (1363–1443?) is the greatest playwright and theorist of the Japanese Noh theatre. He and his father\, Kan’ami (1333–84)\, were the creators of the Noh drama in its present form. In the fall of 2013\, the 650th anniversary of Zeami’s birth\, the Yokohama Noh Theatre chose three pieces written by Zeami (about a young warrior\, the female spirit of an iris flower\, and a court lady in old age) and entrusted them to the three most highly regarded Noh actors of today from different generations. It is typical of the Yokohama Noh Theatre that such an artistic direction is clearly addressed. This series examines Zeami’s own description in his essay “The Transmission of the Flower of Acting Style” that the actors must choose the appropriate repertoire for their physical ages because their attraction as performers changes through the stages of their life span\, such as youth\, maturity\, and old age. \nThe Yokohama Noh Theatre is a municipal arts centre located in Kamonyama Park overlooking the port area. It was built and has been operated by the city of Yokohama and since its opening in 1996\, the Yokohama Noh Theatre has made a reputation as an active performing arts organizer with its clear direction and openness to the local community. In 2004\, the Theatre won the Noh world’s most prestigious award – the Saikasho – for “demonstrating a new working model for a Noh theatre for a new age.” It is also the recipient of the 2006 JAFRA Award for innovation in public-sector cultural facilities. \nIn this photography exhibition\, the works by Yoshiaki Kanda introduce the productions of the Yokohama Noh Theatre. Centring on the Noh theatre\, the exhibition includes the Kyogen\, a comical theatre style accompanying Noh performances. The photography series also includes the Theatre’s expanded artistic collaboration with other traditional performing arts\, such as Okinawan dances. \nSeveral stage photos by Yoshiaki Kanda will be paired with the images of the costumes worn in each work. These costumes are another unique collaboration by the Yokohama Noh Theatre. The Yamaguchi Noh Costume Institute in Kyoto provides the costumes to the Theatre for all its productions. These costumes are reconstructed in the meticulously traditional method following strict historical research. Enjoy the splendour of an artistic inspiration transcending hundreds of years and reaching us in the 21st century! \nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto\n131 Bloor Street West\, 2nd floor of The Colonnade \nSaturday opening dates :October 19\, November 2\, 16\, December 7\, January 11& 25\nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays\nNovember 11 (Remembrance Day)\nChristmas and New Year holidays: December 21\, 2013 to January 5\, 2014 \nADMISSION FREE \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229

SUMMARY:Tohoku  Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Tohoku through the Eyes of Japanese Photographers\nJune 14 – October 4\, 2013\nCurated by Kotaro Iizawa\nPhotographs by Teisuke Chiba\, Ichiro Kojima\, Hiseo Haga\, Masatoshi Naito\, Hiroshi Oshima\, Meiki Lin\, Masaru Tatsuki\, Sendai Collection (group)\, Nao Tsuda\, and Naoya Hatakeyama\nPresented by The Japan Foundation→ \nSaturday openings: Noon – 5:00 pm\nJune 15\, July 6\, 20\, August 10\, 24\, September 7\, 21\, October 5\nNuit Blanche October 5-6 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nJuly 1 (Canada Day)\, August 5 (Civic Holiday)\, September 2 (Labour Day) \nADMISSION FREE \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229 \nTohoku is the northeastern section of Honshu\, the largest island in the Japanese Archipelago\, and is divided into six prefectures: Aomori\, Iwate\, Akita\, Yamagata\, Miyagi\, and Fukushima. Although it has a rather cold climate\, it is blessed with a beautiful and bountiful natural environment of seas\, mountains\, rivers\, and forests. It is also known as a center of the Jomon culture\, which was developed by some of the first people living in Japan. Known for the flame-like forms of its pottery\, this culture flourished in Tohoku between 15\,000 and 3000 years ago. When the center of political power and culture shifted to Nara and Kyoto in western Japan\, Tohoku was placed under the rule of the central government and regarded as a backward and primitive region\, but this marginal area maintained a vital spiritual culture that preserved the Jomon spirit. \nOn March 11\, 2011 an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 struck Japan\, and the worst damage was concentrated in the Tohoku region. The impact was devastating. It left 20\,000 people dead or missing and caused the unprecedented nuclear accident at No. 1 Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The media coverage of the destruction made many people familiar with the names of Tohoku cities and prefectures\, but few are likely to have a broad knowledge of other aspects of the region – its climate\, natural and cultural environment\, history\, way of life\, or people. \nThis exhibition is composed of photographs of the Tohoku taken by nine individual photographers and one photographers’ group. Teisuke Chiba and Ichiro Kojima photographed Tohoku in the 1950s and 1960s. Hideo Haga\, Masatoshi Naito\, and Masaru Tatsuki have recorded festivals and folk religious rites throughout the region. Hiroshi Oshima and Naoya Hatakeyama have combined their personal histories with the landscapes of their home regions. Meiki Rin turned his camera toward the beautiful natural environment. Nao Tsuda searched for the source of the Japanese spirit in relics and artifacts of the Jomon period. A group of photographers led by Toru Ito have created the Sendai Collection\, a series of photographs of anonymous scenesin Sendai\, Miyagi prefecture. \nThese photographs represent the varied faces of Tohoku\, and we hope that this relatively unknown region will be rendered more familiar by the brilliant artistic expression of these marvelous Japanese photographers. \n[END]
