Ushio\, who punches canvases with paint-laden gloves\, is famous in Japan and in Manhattan’s art circles\, yet wider recognition has eluded him. Noriko\, 21 years his junior\, put her artistic ambitions on hold to be a wife and mother — and an assistant to her demanding husband. Now\, Noriko’s acclaimed “Cutie” series of drawings\, depicting the relationship between the title character and a volatile figure named Bullie\, is turning their world upside down. Winner\, Directing Award: U.S. Documentary\, 2013 Sundance Film Festival. \n \nIkigai Film Series \nWhat keeps you going? How do you stay happy\, and live a long life? These are some universal questions that will be explored in this film series that looks into the concept of IKIGAI. In Japanese\, IKIGAI生き甲斐 essentially means “reason for being” or the thing that makes your life worthwhile\, and we will catch a glimpse of how IKIGAI plays a role in the lives of remarkable Japanese people in these four documentaries.

Two professional kendo practitioners\, Kenichi Ishida and Kai Miyamoto\, walk us through the finer points of this martial art as several candidates compete during the one-day hachidan qualifying exam. \nRANKING SYSTEM IN KENDO \nUnlike Judo or Karate\, Kendo does not have any visible marks or colored belts to indicate your rank. The beginner grades are called Kyu and start from 10 Kyu to 1 Kyu. \nOnce you reach 1 Kyu level\, you are ready to take the first master’s grade\, which is called Dan (equal to black belt in other Japanese martial arts). In kendo there are eight Dan\, starting with first Dan and ending with eight. \nThe Kendo eighth Dan exam is notoriously difficult\, and famous for having the lowest success rate in Japan (less than 1%). The next most difficult test in Japan is the justice or bar exam with success rate of just over 3%. This is explored in this documentary. \n \nIkigai Film Series \nWhat keeps you going?

But still he couldn’t shake his burning desire to create. \nAfter an encounter with young CGI animators\, Miyazaki embarks on a new project using these techniques.

Regular online ticket price is $29.50. \nNITABOH: The Founder of Tsugaru Shamisen\nAugust 7\, 2019\, 6:30 PM & August 8\, 2019\, 2:00 PM\n@JFT\, admission free\, RSVP below \nDirected by Akio Nishizawa (2004) 99 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles \nThis feature is the animated biography of Nitaro Akimoto\, the blind musician who founded the Tsugaru style of playing the shamisen\, three-string guitar. The shamisen you hear in the film is performed by Hiromitsu Agatsuma of AGA-SHIO. It is an excellent chance to hear his playing\, which conveys a feeling close to the spirit of the original pioneer Nitaboh. \nSee Hiromitsu Agatsuma LIVE at the AGA-SHIO concert!  concert details here > \nMore About Hiromitsu Agatsuma’s techniques revealed on the screen; \nThe process to create an animation whose movements match the sound of the shamisen\, the key element of “NITABOH\,” was not easy\, either. The skilled shamisen player Hiromitsu Agatsuma covered Nitaro’s shamisen performance in the move. In contrast to traditional animations\, we tried to show the subtle movements of the plectrum and fingers pressed on the three strings. The music scenes from “NITABOH” were created to exactly match the shamisen music used in the movie. \nFirst we shot the real shamisen performance and recorded it on videotape. Watching the videotape\, we created the timesheets that comprised a considerable numbers of frames (24 frames per second). Based on the videotape and the timesheets\, the animators drew the animation – the movement of the shamisen and its player. At one point the plectrum hits the strings nine times in one second; in order to animate the scene\, we need to allocate quite a few animation cells to just one frame. An ordinary theatrical animation movie requires only one cell per two to three frames. Meanwhile\, every shamisen scene in “NITABOH” incorporated many cells per one frame. We all appreciate the painstaking effort of the production staff who kept close check-ups at each scene.

But on his day of triumph\, Kumagai\, one of the commanding officers\, suffers in agony trying to fulfill his duty and devotion to his lord Yoshitsune. This play was originally written for the puppet theatre and\, through its formal structure\, achieves the passion and solemnity of classic drama. A powerful warrior is transformed from a statuesque figure to a pure victim of the inhumanity of war. This character development is depicted stylistically through the sung narration of Gidayū music. Three Living National Treasures—Kichiemon\, Tomijuro\, and Tojuro—create a splendid tableau of historical grandeur. \n\nDōjōji – A Lover’s Duet \n(a dance performance) \nKyokanoko Musume Ninin Dōjōji \n二人道成寺　京鹿子娘二人道成寺　きょうかのこ むすめににん どうじょうじ \n \nPremiered in 1753 \nDirected for Cinema Kabuki by Naoya Hasumi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2006 \n71 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/ninin_dojoji.php \n  \nTamasaburo\, one of Japan’s most renowned dancers\, and rising star Kikunosuke create elegant mirror images to underscore the beauty and eroticism of one soul divided by the sacred and the profane in Dōjōji – A Lover’s Duet.  Abandoning the sacred path has transformed a beautiful young woman into a serpent. Dancing at a dedication ceremony for a temple bell\, the woman/serpent rediscovers her higher self. \n\nAkoya \n(a historical epic with Gidayū music accompaniment) \nDannoura Kabuto Gunki \n壇浦兜軍記 だんのうら かぶと ぐんき \n \nPremiered in 1732 as a puppet theatre play \nWritten by Bunkōdō and Hasegawa Senshi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2015 \n93 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \n  \nDefeated Samurai commander Kagekiyo vanishes and is searched for by the victorious Genji clan. Courtesan Akoya\, Kagekiyo’s lover\, is arrested and interrogated to learn the hideout of Kagekiyo. The interrogator confronts Akoya with an emotionally\, sophisticatedly elevated way of torture to pull out the truth from this dedicated lover; instead of violence or pain\, three music instruments are used to hear the clarity in tones as a reflection of the honesty of her mind. Actually playing three instruments onstage\, plus singing\, Tamasaburo realizes magnificently one of the most challenging Kabuki female roles. \n\nThree Thieves Named Kichisa \n(an urban outlaw story) \nSan’nin Kichisa \n三人吉三 \n \nPremiered in 1860 \nWritten by Kawatake Mokuami \nDirected for the stage and Cinema Kabuki by Kushida Kazuyoshi \nRecorded live at Theater Cocoon\, Shibuya\, Tokyo\, 2014 \n136 min. \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2&v=oBtmU5KSkmQ \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRmoN1_bGsg \nSynopsis and background: \nhttp://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php \n  \nEarly 19th-century Edo (the former name of Tokyo) had juvenile delinquents and outlaws everywhere.

But on his day of triumph\, Kumagai\, one of the commanding officers\, suffers in agony trying to fulfill his duty and devotion to his lord Yoshitsune. This play was originally written for the puppet theatre and\, through its formal structure\, achieves the passion and solemnity of classic drama. A powerful warrior is transformed from a statuesque figure to a pure victim of the inhumanity of war. This character development is depicted stylistically through the sung narration of Gidayū music. Three Living National Treasures—Kichiemon\, Tomijuro\, and Tojuro—create a splendid tableau of historical grandeur. \n\nDōjōji – A Lover’s Duet \n(a dance performance) \nKyokanoko Musume Ninin Dōjōji \n二人道成寺　京鹿子娘二人道成寺　きょうかのこ むすめににん どうじょうじ \n \nPremiered in 1753 \nDirected for Cinema Kabuki by Naoya Hasumi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2006 \n71 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/ninin_dojoji.php \n  \nTamasaburo\, one of Japan’s most renowned dancers\, and rising star Kikunosuke create elegant mirror images to underscore the beauty and eroticism of one soul divided by the sacred and the profane in Dōjōji – A Lover’s Duet.  Abandoning the sacred path has transformed a beautiful young woman into a serpent. Dancing at a dedication ceremony for a temple bell\, the woman/serpent rediscovers her higher self. \n\nAkoya \n(a historical epic with Gidayū music accompaniment) \nDannoura Kabuto Gunki \n壇浦兜軍記 だんのうら かぶと ぐんき \n \nPremiered in 1732 as a puppet theatre play \nWritten by Bunkōdō and Hasegawa Senshi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2015 \n93 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \n  \nDefeated Samurai commander Kagekiyo vanishes and is searched for by the victorious Genji clan. Courtesan Akoya\, Kagekiyo’s lover\, is arrested and interrogated to learn the hideout of Kagekiyo. The interrogator confronts Akoya with an emotionally\, sophisticatedly elevated way of torture to pull out the truth from this dedicated lover; instead of violence or pain\, three music instruments are used to hear the clarity in tones as a reflection of the honesty of her mind. Actually playing three instruments onstage\, plus singing\, Tamasaburo realizes magnificently one of the most challenging Kabuki female roles. \n\nThree Thieves Named Kichisa \n(an urban outlaw story) \nSan’nin Kichisa \n三人吉三 \n \nPremiered in 1860 \nWritten by Kawatake Mokuami \nDirected for the stage and Cinema Kabuki by Kushida Kazuyoshi \nRecorded live at Theater Cocoon\, Shibuya\, Tokyo\, 2014 \n136 min. \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2&v=oBtmU5KSkmQ \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRmoN1_bGsg \nSynopsis and background: \nhttp://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php \n  \nEarly 19th-century Edo (the former name of Tokyo) had juvenile delinquents and outlaws everywhere.
