In this series of discussions\, we talk to translators of literary fiction\, manga\, genre fiction\, and children’s literature to tease out the challenges and thrills of bringing a wide variety of Japanese works to English readers. \n\nParallel Worlds: Translating for Young Minds\nInterview with translators Avery Fischer Udagawa and Cathy Hirano\, moderated by Jeff Chiba Stearns \nDate: Thursday\, March 3\, 2022\nTime: 8:00 PM (ET)\nVenue: Online \nJoin us for a behind-the-scenes conversation with veterans of Japanese and Canadian children’s/YA literature. Animator and author Jeff Chiba Stearns (Yellow Sticky Notes\, On Being Yukiko) sits down with Avery Fischer Udagawa (Temple Alley Summer) and Cathy Hirano (The Beast Player) to discuss the specific challenges of localizing Japanese culture and language for a younger\, English-speaking readership. How do translators approach differing cultural taboos? What assumptions must be made about the reader’s prior knowledge or lack thereof? If illustrations are present\, how do translators corroborate the text with the visual narrative? Come find out the answers to these questions – and more – in this last of our Parallel Worlds series. \nAvery Fischer Udagawa and Cathy Hirano’s translated works are now available to borrow from JFT’s OverDrive Library!

Compassion and nostalgic affection of Hiroshige to his own home town Edo\, now known as Tokyo\, is evident in the Edo Hyaku print series. A previous exhibition at The Japan Foundation\, Toronto in 2019 of “Edo Hyaku” approached this masterpiece from the viewpoint of its serene\, poetic expressions\, which were based on Hiroshige’s emotional input to his own city. The exhibition focused on the theme of snow and moon\, displaying other Edo city portrayal pieces by Hiroshige. \nIn order to cover the huge amount of works omitted from our previous exhibition\, we switch our focus to cherry blossoms and boats on water for our new exhibition. We are also 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. \nA 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 Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces (1853–56). \nThe artworks on display are reproductions\, not off-set prints from photography\, but are re-carved and hand-printed in the traditional method based on historical research. We also display jigsaw puzzles of Hiroshige prints. During the course of quarantine each small piece of these puzzles has drawn our attention to the details of the artwork; as well\, each assembly clarified the composition.  Enjoy the urban splendour and excitement of Edo and the natural phenomenon of Japan in meticulously sophisticated woodblock prints. \nAdmission: FREE \nGallery Hours: 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM • 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM \n\n\n\nMonday\nCLOSED\n\n\nTuesday\nOPEN\n\n\nWednesday\nCLOSED\n\n\nThursday\nOPEN\n\n\nFriday\nCLOSED\n\n\nSaturday (April 9 & 30 only)\nOPEN \n\n\nSunday\nCLOSED\n\n\n\n*Due to COVID-19 precautions\, we are limiting visitation to 4 timeslots per day\, 2 days per week (with the exception of 2 Saturdays every month).
