Deceptively simple\, master chefs have jealously guarded its secrets for centuries. Its development came about as a result of a historical event that triggered a “food revolution”: Buddhism arrived in Japan 1500 years ago\, prohibiting the consumption of meat. The Japanese quickly sought other sources of ‘umami’ taste and found it in Dashi. \nPlease note: The two documentaries will be shown consecutively as one. \nShoyu and the Secrets of Japanese Cuisine\nDirected by Shohei Shibata\n2014\, 49 minutes\nDocumentary \nThe Japanese discovered that a humble mould spore could transform soya beans into ‘Shoyu’\, the soy sauce that is a pillar of Japanese cuisine. Sprinkle it on rice and the rice changes into sake… This mould is a tiny organism called ‘Aspergillus oryzae’ and mysteriously\, it exists only in Japan! We travel to the imperial city of Kyoto\, where the ancient craft of brewing Shoyu is preserved. This delicate process begins in spring and requires a whole year to mature the soy sauce. The Shoyu brewer knows it is all a question of balance and harmony… \n©NHK-Asia documentary Productions-Point du Jour-2014 \nWe love to hear your impressions of the films!

Her father\, however\, is renowned as one of the greatest masters of art — Hokusai. Brought up assisting Hokusai with his trade\, Oei learned all the techniques of painting ukiyo-e\, had access to the inner circle of artists in Edo\, and had opportunities to showcase her skills time and time again\, particularly in the portrayal of women. \nOver time\, Oei’s biology and her relationship with her father obscured her immense talent\, and she has remained in the shadows of history. In this joint presentation hosted by the Japan Foundation\, Toronto and The Japan Society Canada\, novelist Ms. Katherine Govier and art historian Dr. Rosina Buckland (the British Museum) will discuss Oei’s skills\, her contributions to Hokusai’s lifework\, and why she deserves to be celebrated as an artist in her own right. \nThe discussion will be followed by a live Q+A moderated by Ms. Deanna Horton\, Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. \n\nThis is an exclusively online event to begin at 1:00 PM EST on Saturday\, December 12. Registration is required. A link to the talk will be sent to the registered email address 24 hours prior to the start of the event.\n\n\n\nKatherine Govier’s most recent novel is The Three Sisters Bar & Hotel.

In 2018 she was honoured for Excellence in the Arts by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

She co-founded the national schools writing program Writers in Electronic Residence and more recently founded\, directed and is Board Chair of The Shoe Project\, a writing and public speaking workshops for immigrant and refugee women. \nKatherine was born in Edmonton\, Alberta and attended The University of Alberta and York University. She has two adult children\, Robin and Emily\, and two grandchildren. With her partner Nick Rundall\, a retired publisher\, she divides her time between Toronto and Canmore\, Alberta\, in the Rocky Mountains. Her upcoming novel again features Katsushika Oei\, woman artist of the floating world\, who rises from her unknown grave to discover what happened to her art during the Meiji era. \n\nPhotograph by Phil Wilkinson\, National Museums Scotland \nRosina Buckland is Curator of the Japanese Collections at the British Museum. She read Japanese Studies at the University of Cambridge and after graduating worked in Japan as a translator.

A stubborn but passionate man\, his martial brand of baseball in Yokohama maintains all that is beautiful\, if extreme\, in the uniquely Japanese form of the sport — rigorous year- round training\, shaved heads\, and self-sacrifice. The players believe in his message that their primary goal is to grow as human beings\, so cleaning the grounds and keeping impeccable manners are as important as honing their skills. \nHowever\, beyond the company line\, Mizutani boils with desire to validate his career by reaching the sacred grounds of Koshien. Having always prioritized his work over family responsibilities\, he has never seen his 15 year-old son\, Kosho\, play baseball. Rather than take him onto his own team\, calling on his well-earned web of connections\, he sends Kosho away to be raised by a disciple Kantoku in the remote prefecture of Iwate. Sasaki Kantoku\, though\, has outgrown the ways of his mentor. After having raised Major Leaguers OHTANI Shohei and KIKUCHI Yusei\, he has a progressive vision that proposes a new direction for the sport. Sasaki takes inspiration from bonsai — although wires are needed to guide young branches\, those wires must be taken off at the right time. So too does modern baseball require a delicate balance between enforcement and autonomy for players. \nAcross Japan\, four thousand schools begin knockout competition\, with only one winner from each prefecture able to advance to Koshien. Will all of Mizutani’s good deeds add up to a miracle\, or will he prove to be a relic of a bygone era? Can Sasaki\, with Kosho in tow\, challenge the system in a culture where the nail that sticks up is liable to be hammered down? In the crucible of the Japanese summer\, the scoreboard will be their report card\, and a referendum on their values. \nThe screening includes an interview between CFI Executive Director\, Tom McSorley\, and the film’s director\, YAMAZAKI Ema Ryan. \nClick here to watch movie > \nLet us know how you liked the film! \nKoshien: Japan’s Field of Dreams trailer below > \n \n\n \nThe Long Goodbye 長いお別れ \nDirected by NAKANO Ryota \n2019 | 127 min. | Japanese with English Subtitles \nClick here to watch movie > \nShohei is a retired school principal dealing with dementia whose escapades wreak havoc on his family.

Makiko has traveled to Tokyo in search of an affordable breast enhancement procedure. She is accompanied by Midoriko\, who has recently grown silent\, finding herself unable to voice the vague yet overwhelming pressures associated with growing up.

The forecast of population decline has led to a renewed focus on “reproductive futurism\,” which is the belief that humans must reproduce to ensure a stable future. In Japan\, female science fiction and speculative fiction writers have offered provocative critiques of reproductive futurism in order to resist discourse pertaining to reproductive family structures and sexuality. \nIn this talk\, we will look at how these authors use nonhuman perspectives and entities such as aliens\, cyborgs\, and bioengineered entities to defamiliarize the familiar images of reproduction\, sexuality\, and ideal family structure produced by contemporary Japanese social discourse. The talk will explore specific cases of how these female authors re-engineer alternative futures of reproductive bodies and reproductive family to critique the extant reproductive heterosexual and patriarchal family system. \n\nThis is an exclusively online event. Prior registration is required. A secure link to the lecture will be sent to the registered email address before the start of the event.\n\n\nDr. Kazue Harada is an Assistant Professor of Japanese in the Department of German\, Russian\, Asian\, and Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures\, at Miami University\, Ohio.

Despite their seeming timelessness\, these texts have elicited severe criticism and received intense praise over the centuries. Although written over a thousand years ago\, they continue to inform contemporary cultural production. \nThis talk considers the fixed images of Japanese women writers of the distant past and the constructed nature of their writing focusing on one text\, The Pillow Book (Makura no sōshi\, early 11th c.). It examines interpretations of the work and images of its author Sei Shōnagon (964?–after 1027) that emerged in the years between the 17th century and the early 20th century and shows that although they were not shaped through references to historical documents and direct interactions with The Pillow Book\, these views still linger in contemporary scholarship and popular culture. \n\nThis is an exclusively online event. Prior registration is required. A secure link to the lecture will be sent to the registered email address before the start of the event.\n\n\nDr. Gergana Ivanova is Associate Professor of Japanese Literature and Culture at the University of Cincinnati.

Her research interests include the reception history of Japanese classical literature\, early modern erotic and didactic literature\, and present-day manga representations of the past. She is the author of Unbinding the Pillow Book: The Many Lives of a Classic (Columbia University Press\, 2018). Her current book project examines the eroticization of eleventh-century women writers in early modern Japan. She is also completing a co-translation of One Hundred Exemplary Women\, One Poem Each (Retsujo hyakunin isshu\, 1847).
