SUMMARY:Washi Roundtable: Exploring the advantages and creative potentials of Japanese handmade paper
DESCRIPTION:For more than a millennium\, Japanese papermakers have refined and mastered the process of making washi – a strong\, translucent\, absorbent\, and malleable paper-like material with a multitude of applications ranging from artwork to conservation to interior accessories\, and much more. In a co-presentation between JFT and The Japanese Paper Place\, we are inviting a panel of washi users and specialists\, including an 8th generation papermaker from Shimane Prefecture (Sekishu)\, to share their unique perspectives on how Japanese paper has endured and thrived throughout the centuries. We will learn about the creative ways artists in Toronto and worldwide are using washi\, unique challenges today’s papermakers face\, and examine the question of where washi will go from here. \nImage credits: Dominique Prevost; Danielle Shatz \nRegister Here \n\nSPEAKERS: \nNancy Jacobi founded The Japanese Paper Place 40 years ago on her return to Toronto after living and teaching English in Japan. Her mission then as now\, was to encourage creativity with the remarkably versatile papers she had discovered in Japan. After several visits to meet papermakers in their villages\, she realized that encouraging the papermakers was equally as important in supporting the papers’ continuing manufacture and use outside Japan. \nThrough workshops\, exhibitions\, lectures and attendance at conventions and trade shows\, her company has made connections with fellow washi enthusiasts who now distribute Japanese papers worldwide. Nancy’s belief in the importance of Heritage washi (traditional Japanese paper) as one of the world’s great art materials remains undiminished; and the JPP’s ongoing collection of contemporary works by prominent artists using washi is testament to it. In 2021\, she was presented by Consul-General Sasayama with the Foreign Minister’s Commendation for her contributions toward the promotion of Japanese culture in Canada. \n————————————————————————————– \nTakao Moriki is the third-generation president of Moriki Paper Company\, Ltd.\, based in Tokyo\, Japan\, and is specialized in the export of various types of Japanese papers\, known as “Washi”. The company was established in 1925 as a supplier of Japanese tissue paper called “Tosa Tengujo” and other Japanese papers\, especially for overseas markets\, by his granduncle\, whose family had been papermakers in Kochi prefecture. The company started exporting directly to USA in 1979 and to UK & West Germany in 1983\, and has been supplying the largest selection of Japanese papers to over 40 countries until today\, having The Japanese Paper Place as a distribution partner since 1980’s. \nTakao has been working closely with many local papermakers across Japan to support the industry as well as to meet the needs of customers\, such as conservators\, artists\, designers\, craftspeople and other creative people around the world. \n————————————————————————————– \n©MASUDA KOHBOH Inc \nAfter graduating from college in Hiroshima\, Masaru Nishita started training to carry on the craft of making Seki-shu Japanese paper in his family’s over 200-year-old business\, Nishita Japanese paper workshop. \nThe technique for making Seki-shu Japanese paper has been handed down from generation to generation for more than 1\,000 years. Local tree pulp\, mainly mulberry and mitsumata and the hibiscus sap\, are diluted in water and their fibers are drained through a screen\, so that a mat of randomly interwoven fibers is laid down. Water is removed from this mat of fibers by pressing and drying to make hand-made Seki-shu Japanese paper. This process is called Nagashisuki. Due to the use of sap\, Nagashisuki makes a distinguishably thinner paper which is synonymous with the Shimane area. One famous type of Seki-shu is “Seki-shu writing paper”\, which in 1969 was designated as an important intangible cultural heritage of the country. Then in 2009 it was registered in UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. Due to the high quality of Nishida Japanese paper workshop’s seki-shu\, their paper is used to repair various Japanese cultural artifacts. \n————————————————————————————— \nCo-presented With The Japanese Paper Place \n \n\n  \nLearn more about Washi (Traditional Japanese Paper) with JFT Library’s books\nPlanning to attend Washi Roundtable on November 16?

SUMMARY:The Politics of Japan’s Response to COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:How did Japan respond to the COVID-19 pandemic\, and what were the political factors that shaped its approach? Japan recorded the lowest number of COVID-19 deaths per capita among OECD countries. This was despite considerable vulnerabilities – for example\, Japan has the oldest population in the world and relatively limited hospital capacity to accommodate a surge in patients. Japanese leaders have touted the merits of the “Japan model” of COVID-19 response as exemplary of how to manage the pandemic without sacrificing fundamental democratic values and civil liberties. The model broadly emphasizes the avoidance of mandates and harsh lockdowns\, maintenance of macroeconomic growth\, and evidence-based measures that rely on scientific experts. What contributed to the Japan model\, and are there useful lessons for other countries like Canada? \n\nPhillip Y. Lipscy is professor of political science at the University of Toronto\, where he is also Chair in Japanese Politics and Global Affairs and the Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Japan at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy. In addition\, he is cross-appointed as professor at the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo. His research addresses substantive topics such as international cooperation\, international organizations\, the politics of energy and climate change\, international relations of East Asia\, and the politics of financial crises. He has also published extensively on Japanese politics and foreign policy. Before arriving at the University of Toronto\, Dr. Lipscy was assistant professor of political science at Stanford University. Dr. Lipscy obtained his Ph.D. in political science at Harvard University. He received his M.A. in international policy studies and B.A. in economics and political science at Stanford University.
