SUMMARY:Chikyu Films: Hunt for Matsutake
DESCRIPTION:CHIKYU FILMS  \nThis spring\, we will feature a series of films\, CHIKYU FILMS\, which will share the stories and people who examine the close relationship to our environment\, our earth\, or Chikyu 地球 in Japanese. \n\nTHE HUNT FOR MATSUTAKE\nApril 4\, 6:30 PM & April 17\, 2:00 PM \nDirected by Alejandro Yoshizawa (40 min.) 2011  \nPreceding the film\, we will be screening the short films of the We Heart Canada and Japan 90 Short Film Contest (20 min). There will also be a Q+A and discussion after the film about Matsutake culture and foraging in Japan and Canada. \nThis documentary looks at Japanese-Canadian history and the history of Matsutake hunting. Matsutake – a delicacy in Japanese cuisine – can only be found in the wild\, and is both a commercial and cultural symbol. The film chronicles annual trips into the forests of Canada in search of the elusive and much sought-after mushroom. \n \nI believe there is something unique about these rare\, precious mushrooms. For more than just their earthy aroma\, they are special to many Japanese people in North America\, symbolizing a connection to Japan yet rooted (literally) in Canadian and American soil. This simple Fall tradition flourished before and now alongside the now multi-million dollar matsutake exporting industry. \nBy documenting matsutake hunting\, I hope to learn about our shared history. Yet perhaps most of all\, I would like to tell a simple\, sweet\, and heartwarming story decades in the making. \nFall can’t come fast enough. – Alejandro Yoshizawa  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Edo Hyaku Talk Series\, Part III
DESCRIPTION:Edo Hyaku Talk Series\, Part III: HIROSHIGE\, EDO ARTIST\nTalk and slide presentation about the woodblock prints from Hiroshige’s Edo Hyaku\, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo series.\nCoinciding with the exhibition Landmarks From Before It Was Called Tokyo: Hiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo \nBy Carol Dorman\, Stuart Jackson Gallery\, Toronto \nAdmission free\, Reservation required \nMonday\, April 8\, 2019\, 6:30-8:00 P.M. \nEdo Hyaku Talk Part III: Hiroshige\, Edo Artist \n \nHiroshige was a son of Edo\, truly one of the most remarkable cities that ever existed.  Edo’s unique culture provided fertile ground for all manner of arts to flourish and for the growth of some of Japan’s most famous artists.   In many ways Hiroshige’s career path was typical for the time until his lyrical and sometimes breathtaking 1833-34 series of The 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō proved to be a best-seller.  That series established him as a master of the genre and he continued to produce popular landscape series through the rest of his career.  He achieved a lasting relevance because of the beauty\, novelty and variety of his compositions\, but also through his choice of subject matter.  More than any other artist of the time\, Hiroshige showed us his world:  the countryside\, the cities\, and their inhabitants.  His monumental Edo Hyaku series is a portrait of the seasons\, the moods\, the variety and the beauty of that city – Hiroshige’s city. \n \nCarol Dorman has been an associate at the Stuart Jackson Gallery\, specializing in antique Japanese prints (ukiyo-e)\, for over 20 years.  Ms. Dorman has lectured on ukiyo-e to various groups in Ontario and Quebec and most recently at the University of Delhi\, India.  She has curated and been involved in print exhibitions at the Japan Foundation\, the Gardiner Museum\, and the Stuart Jackson Gallery and in 2018 she began teaching classes in Japanese art and culture through Ryerson’s Life Institute.  Ms. Dorman became interested in Japanese art at university and began collecting ukiyo-e prints while completing a Master of Arts degree in Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Continuing Learning Japanese 28: The Japan Foundation\, Toronto Class Observation
DESCRIPTION:日本語学習を継続させる28\n日本語教師情報交換会／日本語クラス見学\nカナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）\n国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター \nトロント及びトロント近郊ではさまざまな年齢とレベルの学習者を対象に日本語教育が行われていますが、実際に教えている教師たちはほかの教育機関で行われていること、時には同じプログラム内であっても、自分以外の先生がしていることをあまりよく知らないのが現状だと思います。今、自分の目の前にいる学習者がどのような環境で何を学んできたのかを知り、そして今後彼らが日本語学習を継続するにあたりどのような選択肢があるのかを知ることは、教師にとって大変意味のあることだと考えます。また、教師間のネットワークを活性化させることにより、さまざまなレベルでの意見交換が頻繁に行われることにもなるでしょう。カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）と国際交流基金トロント日本文化センターでは、2009年12月より、日本語教育機関やプログラム間の“アーティキュレーション（連携、継続性）”のための素地を築くことを目指した集まりを企画してまいりました。 \n第28回目となる今回は国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター日本語講座の公開授業を行ないます。参加ご希望の方は以下をご確認の上、本ページ下段よりお申し込みください。 \n会場：国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター　2 Bloor Street East\, Suite 300\, Toronto\, Ontario \n\n\n\n授業見学１\n日時：2019年3月19日（火）集合時間：午後6時15分  (Tentative)\n見学クラス：Japanese Together 2 (A2-1)\n見学時間：2時間30分\n\n\n授業見学2\n日時：2019年3月27日（水）集合時間：午後5時45分 (Tentative)\n見学クラス：Japanese Together 5 (B1)\n見学時間：2時間30分\n\n\n\n★参加を希望された方には、後ほどメールで集合場所と集合時間をお知らせいたします。 \n申込期日：2019年3月13日（水）または定員（各クラス5名）になり次第締め切り \n参加申込： 参加ご希望の方は本ページ下段よりお申し込みください。 \n＊参加いただける人数に限りがございます。参加希望者多数の場合は、定員になり次第締切とさせていただきます。\n＊今回の日本語クラス見学は、ビデオ撮影を行い、「継続29」（4月27日（土）実施予定）において、講師の解説を併せてのご紹介を予定しております。 \n＊ご質問等ございましたら、担当者までご連絡願います。 \n担当：\n国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター　　齋藤典子\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org     Web site: www.jftor.org\nCAJLE　小室リー郁子\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca           Web site: www.cajle.info \n  \nContinuing Learning Japanese 28\nInformation Exchange Meeting for Japanese Language Teachers:\nJapanese Language Class Observation\nCanadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE)\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nJapanese is taught at several secondary schools in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Yet\, it appears that teachers do not know much about the other institutions\, courses or programmes. This lack of understanding can sometimes be found even within the same institution. We believe that it is very important and necessary for teachers to know what their current students have previously studied and in what type of environment that education took place. Similarly\, it is important to be informed of the available learning opportunities for students who wish to continue studying Japanese.  We believe it is essential for teachers to build a strong and active network that enables them to communicate with one another. Since December 2009\, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education. \nIn the 28th event of the series\, the Japan Foundation\, Toronto opens our Japanese-language classes for observation. Please register using the form below. \nPlace: The Japan Foundation\, Toronto　2 Bloor Street East\, Suite 300\, Toronto\, Ontario \n\n\n\nOpen Class 1\nDate: Tuesday\, March 19th\, 2019\nMeeting Time: 6:15 pm (tentative) \nClass Observed: Japanese Together 2 (A2-1)　　2 hours 30 minutes\n\n\nOpen Class 2\nDate: Wednesday\, March 27th\, 2019\nMeeting Time: 5:45 pm (tentative)\nClass observed: Japanese Together 5 (B1)　　2 hours 30 minutes\n\n\n\n★Participants will be notified of the meeting place and time via email. \nRegistration (mandatory): Please register using the form below. \nRegistration Deadline: Wednesday\, March 13th or when all 5 spots are filled. \n* Due to the nature of the event\, the number of participants is limited. We will close registration when all spots are filled.\n* We are planning to view the videos from the above classes with the lecturer’s commentary as “Continuing Learning Japanese 29” (tentatively scheduled for Saturday\, April 27th). \n* Please feel free to contact the following individuals if you have any questions: \nFor Inquiries:\nNoriko Saito (The Japan Foundation\, Toronto)\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org　　Web site: www.jftor.org \nIkuko Komuro-Lee (CAJLE)\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca　　Web site: www.cajle.info

SUMMARY:Chikyu Films: Lu Over The Wall
DESCRIPTION:CHIKYU FILMS  \nThis spring\, we will feature a series of films\, CHIKYU FILMS\, which will share the stories and people who examine the close relationship to our environment\, our earth\, or Chikyu 地球 in Japanese. \nLU OVER THE WALL\nFriday March 15\, 2019 6:30 PM & Saturday March 16\, 2:00 PM \nDirected by Masaaki Yuasa (2017) 107 min. Japanese with English subtitles (not dubbed) \n  \nFrom visionary anime auteur Masaaki Yuasa comes a joyously hallucinogenic but family-friendly take on the classic fairy tale about a little mermaid who comes ashore to join a middle-school rock band and propel them to fame. Kai is talented but adrift\, spending his days sulking in a small fishing village after his family moves from Tokyo. His only joy is uploading songs he writes to the internet. When his classmates invite him to play keyboard in their band\, their practice sessions bring an unexpected guest: Lu\, a young mermaid whose fins turn to feet when she hears the beats\, and whose singing causes humans to compulsively dance – whether they want to or not. \nAs Kai spends more time with Lu\, he finds he is able to tell her what he is really thinking\, and a bond begins to form. But since ancient times\, the people in the village have believed that mermaids bring disaster and soon there is trouble between Lu and the townspeople\, putting the town in grave danger.  Winner of the Grand Prize at the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival and an official selection of Sundance 2018\, Lu Over the Wall is a toe-tapping\, feel-good demonstration of Yuasa’s genre-mixing mastery that will leave you humming long after you leave the theater. \n \nOther CHIKYU FILMS:\nMarch 15 & April 15  The Final Straw \nMarch 20                    The Gift from Beate

SUMMARY:The Cultural Dimensions of Packaging in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Packaging\, the wrapping of goods and materials\, indeed “wrapping” even in its widest sense\, is integral to human exchange and interaction. There are of course direct functional reasons for both personal and commercial packaging: physical protection; containment or agglomeration; security; information transmission\, or even just for general convenience\, to name but a few. However\, beyond these pragmatic rationales there are important\, often unspoken\, cultural uses for packaging and wrapping\, e.g. a package as package may have an emotional\, or a communicative\, or a symbolic import that is integral to the traditions of a culture. This talk proposes to introduce some of these same elements and their aspects as they inhere in Japanese packaging and wrapping practices. \nDr. Rudi Meyer holds a BFA from NSCAD University\, a BA from McGill University\, an MA from the University of Toronto\, and a PhD from McGill University. He has taught at both McGill and Concordia University\, while keeping up a freelance design practice\, and is now the Director of the Master of Design Program at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD University). He has had a long association with Japan\, having lived there for two years and visiting almost every year since his return to Canada to take up a position at NSCAD. He is keenly interested in Japanese design and has participated in a number of conferences devoted to the topic in Japan. His research interests also include design through use; repair and ad-hoc design as sources of innovation; flexible urban dwellings. In addition to studio courses he teaches design history and theory. \nReservations are now closed. Thank you for your interest. We will have a rush line starting 30 minutes before the event\, and will start to release unclaimed seats 10 minutes before the event.

SUMMARY:Secrets of the Smithsonian Samurai: Rediscovering the Lost ‘Living Dolls’ of Japan
DESCRIPTION:The 1893 Chicago World’s Fair was a global spectacle unlike anything the world had ever seen. To showcase its history and culture at the Fair\, Japan sent a myriad of arts\, crafts\, and other treasures. Among these were eight iki ningyō (生人形) or ‘living dolls’ – lifelike mannequins that depict a unique Japanese aesthetic – including an intriguing samurai set piece. The Smithsonian purchased these mannequins upon the Fair’s completion and later exhibited them intermittently at the US National Museum. After being removed from display\, however\, these enigmatic mannequins disappeared and were presumed lost for decades. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Robert Pontsioen of the Smithsonian Institution traces his recent rediscovery of these artifacts\, and explores their place in the artistic and cultural milieu of late 19th century Japan and America. Through collaboration with traditional artisans in Japan\, Dr. Pontsioen describes how we can both increase our understanding of museum collections and reunite source communities with treasured objects from their past. \nRobert Pontsioen is a Researcher in the Asian Cultural History Program at the National Museum of Natural History\, Smithsonian Institution. A Japan Foundation Fellowship recipient in 2016- 2017\, his research involves extensive fieldwork among artisan communities\, and centers on Japanese and other Asian material culture with a focus on traditional arts and crafts\, the reproduction of craft skills\, and strategies for cultural heritage promotion and preservation. The co-author of four books\, his recent publications include “The Alexander Graham Bell Collection of Japanese Masks at the Smithsonian” (Nineteenth Century Art Worldwide\, Vol. 17\, 2018)\, in which he describes and interprets seven unique and evocative masks collected in Japan by the famed inventor. \n  \n  \n  \n

He takes elements of Japanese culture that he is inspired by\, and brings it back with him to Rome and becomes hugely successful\, which leads the Emperor to command him to build a massive spa. \nThermae Romae is based on the adaptation of Mari Yamazaki‘s award winning manga\, which has won both the 2010 Manga Taisho and the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for Best Short Work. The film features a roster of talented actors who throw themselves into their roles as citizens of ancient Rome\, including Japanese heart throb Hiroshi Abe who plays the protagonist Lucius. Another striking aspect of the films production is its large open set built at Cinecitta\, Italy’s largest film studio. \n(c) 2012 “THERMAE ROMAE” Film Partners \n \n \nMari Yamazaki\, manga author together with Stars Aya Ueto and Hiroshi Abe at the premiere of the film at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. \n  \nTHRONE OF BLOOD 蜘蛛巣城\n \nSunday February 3 @3:00 PM \n@Hamilton Central Public Library\, free admission\, RSVP recommended but not required \nJapanese with English subtitles \nDirector\, Akira Kurosawa (110 minutes) 1957 \nA vivid\, visceral Macbeth adaptation\, Throne of Blood\, directed by Akira Kurosawa\, sets Shakespeare’s definitive tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly\, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan. As a hardened warrior who rises savagely to power\, Toshiro Mifune gives a remarkable\, animalistic performance\, as does Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife. Throne of Blood fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. \nDespite the change in setting and language and numerous creative liberties\, Throne of Blood often is considered one of the better film adaptations of the play. It won two Mainichi Film Awards\, including Best Actor for Toshiro Mifune. \n \nCommunity Partners:\nHamilton Chapter of National Association of Japanese Canadians and the Hamilton Canadian Japanese Cultural Centre \nDetails about February 10\, 2019 Japanese films here >

SUMMARY:Landmarks From Before It Was Called Tokyo: Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
DESCRIPTION:January 18 – April 13\, 2019\n\nLandmarks From Before It Was Called Tokyo:\nHiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo\n広重作江戸名所百景展\nCo-presented by Stuart Jackson Gallery & The Japan Foundation\, Toronto\n  \nOriginal print works of One Hundred Famous Views of Edo\, for short “Edo Hyaku (hundred)”\, by Hiroshige (1797-1858) for your view\, together with related works\, and contemporary hand-carved\, hand-printed reproductions to bring back the excitement and ambience of sophisticated urban life in Edo.  \n*UPDATE: Feb 6\, 2019  – Snow storm brought additional snow scenes to Hiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo exhibition. See bottom for details.\n“Edo Hyaku” of Urban Serenity \nOne Hundred Famous Views of Edo\, for short “Edo Hyaku (hundred)” by Hiroshige is a series of multi-coloured woodblock prints depicting the landmarks of Tokyo at the time the city was called Edo. \nHiroshige (1797-1858) was an ukiyo-e artist whose reputation was most strongly established in the genre of topographical prints. This direction towards landmark themes came to Hiroshige\, a late bloomer\, in 1831 when his artistic breakthrough\, Tōto Meisho or Famous Views of the Eastern Capital (Edo) print series was published. In 1833 Hiroshige’s popularity exploded when his series 53 Stations of Tōkaidō Highway appeared. \nAcross Japan many famous views became the subjects of Hiroshige’s print series\, but the city of Edo had a special place in his artistry. In volume alone\, Hiroshige created more than one thousand prints of the landscapes of Edo. Among all these books and prints of Edo by Hiroshige\, “Edo Hyaku” occupies an even more privileged position. \n \n“Edo Hyaku” is a summit of Hiroshige’s famous view prints. He himself had previously created many series of famous views\, as though they were the foothills supporting this magnificent peak. In “Edo Hyaku”\, which was created during the last two-and-a half years of Hiroshige’s life\, the artist made one last creative leap: Unlike his travelogue prints which had sense of humour and vitality\, the urban scenes in “Edo Hyaku” embrace poetic stillness and serenity along with new dramatic elements of composition. \nContemporary researchers say that “Edo Hyaku” had an intention of providing emotional relief from the disasters of that time — the Great Ansei Earthquake in 1855 and the Great Wind Storm in 1856. Hiroshige encouraged the citizens\, celebrated the recovery and restoration\, and mourned for the victims through his artworks. Having the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in a country deeply hurt by an earthquake in 2011\, Hiroshige’s generous\, affectionate glance to the city and its residents is more touching than ever. \nOriginal works from “Edo Hyaku”\, related works\, and contemporary hand-carved\, hand-printed reproductions bring back the excitement and ambience of sophisticated urban life in Edo. Nature and the seasons along with man-made structures were fully appreciated by Edo residents who made up a population of more than a million individuals. \nHiroshige’s farewell poem\n  \nAzumaji e Fude wo nokoshite Tabi no Sora \nNishi no Mikuni no Nadokoro wo min. \nI leave my brush in the East \nAnd set forth on my journey. \nI shall see the famous places \nin the Western Land. \n  \n(The Western Land in this context refers to the strip of land by the Tōkaidō between Kyoto and Edo\, \nbut it does double duty as a reference to the paradise of the Amida Buddha.) \n  \n*Just added February 6 \n \nNight View in Takanawa \nfrom Eight Snow Views of Eastern Capital series \nThis series of eight snow scenes had never been published in Hiroshige’s life time\, only the sketch remained Paris\, France. These works are considered as Hiroshige’s latest work\, at a same time with One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. First in 1928 the blocks were carved and printed. The piece on display is a reproduction\, hand-carved\, hand-printed\, in 1979. \nThe rest of seven pieces will be added to the exhibition later this month. \nJanuary 18 – April 13\, 2019 \nShow GALLERY HOURS  \nMon 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nTues 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nWed 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nThurs 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nFri 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nJanuary 19\, February 2\, 16\, March 2\, 16\, 30\, April 13 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nFebruary 18 (Family Day) \n \n  \nADMISSION: FREE \n  \nShow The Japan Foundation\, Toronto  \n2 Bloor Street East \nHudson’s Bay Centre\, 3rd floor \nAbove Royal Bank of Canada \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229

They assume it’s just their house\, but soon find out the outage has occurred everywhere\, not just in appliances\, but also in trains\, cars\, gas\, and water systems. There are no phones with which to make contact\, or trains to ride to work. They think they can get by putting up with it for just one day\, until another day passes\, and yet another. \nWhat seemed to be a normal power outage is in fact\, something much more… People are stripped of all convenience by the onset of this crisis. \nIt’s then that the father\, Yoshiyuki (Fumiyo Kohinata)\, makes the decision of a lifetime: \n“We’re going to escape from Tokyo!”  \nIs there a future for the family in this world denied all electricity?! Can a failure of a father protect his family?! The curtain rises on the survival life of the Suzuki household! \n©Fuji Television Network\, Toho\, Dentsu\, Altamira Pictures \n \n  \n \nSaturday January 19\, 2:00 PM\nCLOSE – KNIT  彼らが本気で編むときは、\nDirected by Naoko Ogigami\, 2017\, 127 min. \nThe film centers on the story of one young girl\, Tomo\, who moves in with her uncle Makio and his partner Rinko\, who identifies as a trans woman.
