SUMMARY:Architecture as a Vessel of Memories
DESCRIPTION:Katsuhiro Miyamoto\narchitect\, professor at Osaka City University \nKatsuhiro Miyamoto was born in 1961 in Hyogo Prefecture\, and studied and completed his master’s degree in 1987 at the University of Tokyo. Miyamoto established Atelier Cinquieme Architects in 1988\, which reconfigured as Katsuhiro Miyamoto in 2002. Rooted in Hanshin (Osaka-Kobe) area\, the Great Earthquake of the Hanshin in 1995 deeply impacted Miyamoto\, as did the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in the Tohoku area of Northern Japan. Miyamoto took part in The Japan Foundation’s architectural exhibition How did Architects Respond Immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake?\, currently on display in Montreal. The\nlecture will display Miyamoto’s unique proposals and designs for the reconstruction and commemoration of this unforgettable natural disaster. \nKatsuhiro Miyamoto came to notice with the polemical rescue and alteration of his family home- condemned as totally destroyed after the 1995 Kobe earthquake-\nas the “Zenkai House”. At the 1996 Venice Biennale\, Miyamoto won a Golden Lion award for an installation of rubble from the quake-hit region deposited in the Japan Pavilion. \nHis recent work includes a priest’s quarters at the Chushin-ji temple in the Japan Alps; a monograph\, Katsuhiro Miyamoto\, appeared in 2012. He is Professor at Osaka City University. In the wake of the Great East Japan\nEarthquake\, which struck on March 11\, 2011\, Miyamoto quickly entered the disaster zone to assist the recovery operations. His resulting proposals include adding Japanese-style roofs over the Fukushima Nuclear Plant\, thus reimagining it as a shrine- a project exhibited at the 2013 Aichi Triennial. \nhttp://www.kmaa.jp/

SUMMARY:The Life and Works of the God of Manga\, Osamu Tezuka
DESCRIPTION:In this intimate lecture\, Roland Kelts\, author of Japanamerica and contributing writer for The New Yorker\, introduces the tremendously influential and genre-defining works of manga master Osamu Tezuka\, best known for his works Astro Boy and Black Jack. Expert Kelts engages with longtime fans and novices to answer questions and explore the manga master’s legendary works in a fresh new context. The trauma of World War II\, Japan’s postwar faith in science and reinvention\, and today’s ambivalence toward atomic power drive Kelts’s fresh analysis.

SUMMARY:Anime and Hollywood (the dance of rivals seeking to embrace)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 25\, 6:30 pm (doors 6 pm)\nRoland Kelts talks about modern Anime\, its influences on Hollywood\, and vice-versa. An in-depth examination of how Japanese and American entertainment businesses are influencing each other in an infinite loop. Just as Japanese artists like Osamu Tezuka\, Hayao Miyazaki and Katsuhiro Otomo were fascinated by classic and sci-fi American movies\, George Lucas\, The Wachowskis\, Guillermo del Toro and other directors were influenced by Japanese anime classics like Gatchaman\, Speed Racer\, Spirited Away\, Akira and Ghost in the Shell. \nIn his presentation\, Kelts will explore why Hollywood is fascinated with Japanese pop culture and is trying to remake popular Japanese anime titles to appeal to a whole new generation of viewers. Death Note\, Naruto\, Cowboy Bebop—and the attempts to make feature films out of stalwarts like Dragon Ball Z and Grave of the Fireflies will be addressed with passion. Anime vs. Hollywood: Who wins? A close look at the challenges and potential missteps along the way. \nLanguage: English\nRSVP: www.jftor.org/whatson/rsvp.php
