In addition\, in some areas\, schools are only run by a small number of people\, or have to be built from the ground up\, making it difficult to exchange ideas with people who have experience in the field. Therefore\, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto are holding an online networking meeting to provide an opportunity for those who are working hard in different areas to discuss and learn from each others’ experiences. \nThe 8th session will include presentations and Q&A from learners who have studied Japanese language education as a heritage language. \nAnyone who lives in Canada and is interested is welcome to attend.

The Ainu are the indigenous people of Japan. Hokkaido\, the northern island of Japan\, was previously called Ainumosir\, or land of the Ainu. Ainu traditions are facing a critical situation; the latest survey revealed that the Ainu population is less than 20\,000 people in Hokkaido\, and UNESCO has recognized the language as ‘critically endangered.’ \nDirector Naomi MIZOGUCHI depicts the manifold attempts of the Ainu today to regain and pass on their cultural identity. This documentary was filmed in Biratori town in Hokkaido\, where many people with Ainu roots still live. It is also known as the hometown of the late Shigeru Kayano\, who contributed greatly to the field of research on Ainu culture. \nEvery attendee will receive a complimentary educational booklet donated by The Foundation for Ainu Culture. \n \n \nWe’re also presenting a beautiful short film titled 60のゆりかご (60 Cradles | 60 no yurikago) before the feature documentary. This animated piece is based on fantastical Ainu lullabies mothers would sing to soothe their crying children.  \nThe short film is generously provided and created by the Upopoy National Ainu Museum in Hokkaido. \n  \n  \nDirector’s Statement: \nI was born in Hyogo Prefecture on the main island of Honshu in Japan and  reached adulthood knowing almost nothing about the Ainu. After collaborating on a film with indigenous people in Colombia\, Ecuador\, and Nepal\, I developed a strong desire to learn about the Ainu who live in my home country. \nIn 2008\, I visited the town of Biratori for the first time. At the time\, I was searching  for ways in which indigenous people from around the world could meet and learn from  each other through video making. On my fifth visit to Biratori in 2015\, a staff member at the local museum mentioned  that they wanted to document modern Ainu culture on video. This inspired me to make this film\, Ainu – Indigenous People of Japan. \nThe four elders featured in the film were born before World War II\, went through many difficulties\, and survived many social changes. Now\, even in their 80s\, they all are proactive in various local activities and try to pass down Ainu culture to younger generations. I was certain that the stories and activities of these four individuals would  become invaluable video material not only of Ainu history but indeed\, Japanese history as a whole. \nThe existence of the Ainu people is virtually unknown not only around the world  but also in Japan. My biggest hope is that this documentary will increase the number of  people who become interested in the rich\, sophisticated culture of the Ainu by learning  about their daily lives and the history of the four people featured in the film. \nIn Collaboration with the Nibutani Ainu Culture Museum: \nThe Nibutani Ainu Culture Museum opened in 1992 with the mission of accurately passing down Ainu culture and its history to future generations. The Museum houses more than 1\,000 National Important Tangible Folk Cultural Properties as well as other various traditional crafts. It also has a large collection of video materials\, including yukar\, or heroic epic poems. The Nibutani neighborhood that is home to the Museum is also host to the Shigeru Kayano Ainu Culture Museum and the Historical Museum of the Saru River. It is renowned as a rare place where there is an abundance of Ainu cultural study materials. \n  \nRelated Programming:\nInuit Print Art and its Early Japanese Influences \nIn the mid-20th century\, a series of fortunate events led to the introduction of Japanese printmaking techniques to the Inuit community of Cape Dorset. In this talk with Dr. Norman Vorano\, we will hear the story of how these ancient traditions of Japan made their way to the remote Canadian arctic\, how Inuit artists built upon these traditions\, and the ways in which Inuit printmaking continues to thrive today. \nWatch Here \n  \nReviving Ainu Lost Traditions on Screen: HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s Documentary Films \nJoin Dr. Marcos Centeno for a special presentation examining the historic and cultural significance of HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s documentary films about the Ainu people. Dr. Centeno will introduce us to the history of Ainu representation on screen\, which goes back as far as the inception of cinema. Unlike previous documentaries featuring the Ainu\, the films Director Himeda made in the 1970s alongside Ainu leader and trailblazer KAYANO Shigeru showcase a new ethnographic approach where the Ainu are not depicted as exotic nor primitive. \nWatch Here   \n  \n \nLearn More about Indigenous Peoples of Japan with JFT Library’s Books & More \nDeepen your understanding about the Ainu people and their culture and history by checking out JFT library’s books\, audiovisual materials and/or ebooks on indigenous peoples of Japan before or after the film screening!  \nApply for a new library card or renew your expired card here. \nStop by our library in-person on Tuesdays\, Thursdays\, and select Saturdays. \n  \n Library Card \n  URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/ainu-hito-jft/ LOCATION:The Japan Foundation\, Toronto\, 2 Bloor St. East\, 3rd Floor\, Toronto\, ON\, M4W 1A8\, Canada CATEGORIES:Film Screening ORGANIZER;CN="The Japan Foundation%2C Toronto":MAILTO:info_jftoronto@jpf.go.jp GEO:43.6710659;-79.3857432 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Japan Foundation Toronto 2 Bloor St. East 3rd Floor Toronto ON M4W 1A8 Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2 Bloor St. East\, 3rd Floor:geo:-79.3857432,43.6710659 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20221207T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20221207T184000 DTSTAMP:20260928T193735 CREATED:20221005T201623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221005T201623Z UID:78308-1670436000-1670438400@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:JFT Online 'Sawakai' for Japanese Teachers (52) DESCRIPTION:JFT日本語教師オンライン茶話会のお知らせ\nJFT日本語教師オンライン茶話会では、授業で実践したことや感じていることなどを小グループで共有し合います。これからしてみたいと思っているアイデアや、ちょっと行き詰まっているなと感じていることなどでもかまいません。普段なかなか会えないカナダ各地の先生方とお話してみませんか。 \nカナダ国内からでしたら、どなたにもご参加いただけますので、ご興味のある方は本ページ下段よりお申し込みください。 \n第52回JFT日本語教師オンライン茶話会\n日時：2022年12月7日（水） 6:00pm ～ 6:40pm（東部時間）\nトピック：今年も本当にお疲れさまでした！\n2022スクールイヤーについて、皆さんでお話しませんか？\nお住まいの地域での時刻はこちらでご確認ください。 \n対象者：カナダ在住の日本語教師、および、カナダ在住の日本語教育に興味のある方々 \n使用言語：日本語 \nJFTスタッフ：呉屋　由郁子、齋藤　典子 \nお問い合わせ先：齋藤　典子　noriko_saito@jpf.go.jp URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/sawakai221207/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Teachers’ Workshops ORGANIZER;CN="The Japan Foundation%2C Toronto":MAILTO:info_jftoronto@jpf.go.jp GEO:43.6710978;-79.386063 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20221203T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20221203T163000 DTSTAMP:20260928T193735 CREATED:20221109T224516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221114T221053Z UID:78700-1670067000-1670085000@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:Nengajo Making Workshops 2022 DESCRIPTION:Our Nengajo making workshops are back for the first time in three years! \nPlease visit the JFT Library and enjoy creating 年賀状 nengajo– Japanese New Year’s postcards\, while learning some Japanese New Year phrases to ring in 2023: the year of the rabbit 卯 usagi. \nSpaces are limited.

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.

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?

For this third Edo Hyaku period\, starting in the fall of 2022\, we are concentrating on the theme of Boats and Bridges\, which will be followed by our final period of Edo Hyaku: Residents and City Streets in New Year 2023. \nFor these upcoming two periods we are welcoming original pieces of the Edo Hundred series from the Royal Ontario Museum. This set of Edo Hyaku prints arrived for public attention relatively recently in 2002\, and was re-discovered as an album or a form of folded book bound by pasting prints together edge-to-edge. Although the edges of the prints are missing by the binding\, and the album suffered worm damage\, the colour condition of this set is remarkable. Being away from lights\, the prints here maintained their vivid colours. For the first time the prints are displayed publicly and individually at The Japan Foundation\, Toronto after going through conservation procedures such as separation of the pages\, cleaning\, and repair. \nIn addition to over twenty original pieces from the ROM in each period\, we have reproductions\, which some people rather call re-conceived prints. These non-originals are not offset prints from photography\, but are re-carved and hand-printed in the traditional method based on historical research. \nThrough these prints we are examining Hiroshige’s final years\, which is characterized by the use of tall portrait layout in landscape paintings. Linear perspectives and the expression of depth and distance are the keys to unfold the visual wealth of Hiroshige’s late pieces. A masterpiece of this period\, consisting of a trio of triptychs known as Snow\, Moon\, and Flower (1857) is on display\, along with pieces from the series kown as Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces (1853–56). \nIn comparison with these other pieces from Hioroshige’s late period the special characteristics of the Edo Hyaku series become more evident. Hiroshige’s compassion and nostalgic affection for his own home town Edo\, now known as Tokyo\, is evident in the Edo Hyaku print series. Some researchers point out that the whole project of the publication of Edo Hyaku was a disaster relief effort for the Ansei Great Earthquake in 1855. Hiroshige’s beloved Edo was awfully almost completely destroyed\, and the lives of many citizens were lost. The glances of Hiroshige we can feel in Edo Hyaku are so gentle\, intimate\, comforting\, and yet noble and proud. \n\nAdmission: FREE \nGallery Hours: Hourly timeslots starting at 11:30 AM\, 12:30 PM\, 1:30PM\, 2:30 PM\, 3:30 PM (4:30 PM and 5:30 PM on select Fridays) \nOur gallery exhibition is open on Tuesdays\, Thursdays\, select Fridays\, and select Saturdays.
