SUMMARY:Kochuu: Japanese Architecture/Influence & Origin
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Jesper Wachtmeister\n2006\, 53 min. \nKOCHUU is a visually stunning film about modern Japanese architecture\, its roots in the Japanese tradition\, and its impact on the Nordic building tradition. Winding its way through visions of the future and traditional concepts\, nature and concrete\, gardens and high-tech spaces\, the film explains how contemporary Japanese architects strive to unite the ways of modern man with the old philosophies in astounding constructions. \nKOCHUU\, which translates as “in the jar\,” refers to the Japanese tradition of constructing small\, enclosed physical spaces\, which create the impression of a separate universe. The film illustrates key components of traditional Japanese architecture\, such as reducing the distinction between outdoors and indoors\, disrupting the symmetrical\, building with wooden posts and beams rather than with walls\, modular construction techniques\, and its symbiotic relationship with water\, light and nature. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Embracing Decline?
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Dynamics of Aging\, Depopulation and Well-Being in Rural Japan\nA talk by Dr. Peter Matanle\, University of Sheffield\nSince at least the 1950s\, rural Japan has been slowly but steadily aging and depopulating. Youth migration to urban areas and chronically low fertility have caused many communities to disappear and left many others on the verge of doing so. These ‘genkai shuraku’\, or ‘marginal communities’ are increasing in number and size as Japan ages and depopulates\, and urbanization processes continue. \nThis lecture will tell the story of those demographic changes and examine the consequences for Japan and other Asian countries. What are the impacts that this has on the quality of individual\, family and community life? How do these rural communities deal with these changes? Professor Matanle argues that these changes offer Japan and other countries an opportunity to chart a new post-growth future. \nAbout the Speaker:\nDr Peter Matanle is Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies and Director of Research and Innovation at the University of Sheffield’s School of East Asian Studies. His research is focused on the social and cultural geography of East Asia. He has published widely on regional population and development in Japan\, and the theory and practice of lifetime employment in Japanese organisations.

SUMMARY:Continuing Learning Japanese 16: Teaching Materials
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \nContinuing Learning Japanese XVI \nCanadian Association for Japanese Language Education (Ontario Chapter)\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 Ontario Chapter (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education. \nFor the 16th event of this series\, we will be focusing on teaching materials. Focusing on beginner level textbooks widely used in Toronto and its surrounding areas\, participants will divide into small groups of two to three people and look at things such as the differences in the order of contents and how they are delivered\, differences in focal points\, what level of students and approximate hours of study are appropriate for each text\, and perform research activities on classroom activities amongst others. The groups will then present their conclusions\, and these may even go onto the website. The textbooks which we will be looking at include GENKI\, Nakama\, Minna no Nihongo\, Mirai\, Japanese for Busy People\, and other textbooks in the Japan Foundation\, Toronto’s collection. \n  \nDate: Saturday\, October 25\, 2014\nPlace: The Japan Foundation\, Toronto 2nd Floor\, 131 Bloor Street West\, Toronto\, Ontario\nTime: 2:30pm to 5:30pm (The doors open at 2:00pm) \nPlease scroll to the bottom for registration \nFor Inquiries: \nNoriko Saito (Program Officer\, Japan Foundation Toronto)\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org Web site: http://www.jftor.org\nIkuko Komuro-Lee (CAJLE Ontario Chapter)\nE-mail: cajle.ontario@gmail.com Web site: http://www.cajle.info/ \n  \n\n \n \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n日本語学習を継続させる16 \nカナダ日本語教育振興会（オンタリオ部会）\nジャパン・ファウンデーション・トロント \n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。CAJLEオンタリオ部会とジャパン・ファウンデーション・トロントでは、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さて、第16回目となる今回は、日本語教材の勉強会を計画しております。トロント近郊の学校で多く使われている初級教材を、参加者が2，3名のグループになって、教材による内容や提出順序の違い、焦点の当て方の差、教材に適切な学習者層や総学習時間、教室活動等について教材研究を行う活動を予定しています。成果物をその場で発表し、その後、ウェブサイト等でも公開します。使用教材は、「GENKI」、「Nakama」、「みんなの日本語」、「Mirai」、「Japanese for Busy People」等、当センター所蔵のものを使用する予定です。 \n  \n日本語教師の方々だけでなく、日本語教育にご興味のある方々にもご参加いただけましたら幸いです。ぜひ足をお運びください。 \n  \n日時：2014年10月25日（土）　午後2時30分～5時30分（開場：2時） \n会場：The Japan Foundation\, Toronto 2nd Floor\, 131 Bloor Street West\, Toronto\, Ontario \n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  \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ジャパン・ファウンデーション・トロント　齋藤典子（nsaito@jftor.org）www.jftor.org\nCAJLEオンタリオ部会　小室リー郁子（Ikuko Komuro-Lee）\nE-mail: cajle.ontario@gmail.com Web site: http://www.cajle.info/

In 2013\, The Revue underwent a complete upgrade to digital film projection while retaining the ability to screen 35mm prints\, thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. This fall\, The Revue was awarded a second Trillium grant for aesthetic improvements and repairs. \nAccess\n
