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).

So how do they navigate this publishing niche to bring us the best of Japanese genre fiction? What are some of the specific challenges they face in translating these fantastical worlds into English? Join us as we talk to leading genre translators and learn what lies behind the curtain. \nWriter\, translator and editor Rachel Cordasco (Out of This World\, SFinT Translation.com) goes on a deep dive with acclaimed translators Takami Nieda (Cage of Zeus\, Noble V: Greylancer) and Emily Balistrieri (Kiki’s Delivery Service\, The Night is Short\, Walk On Girl) to bring us the real story. \nWatch here >  \n \nWe love to hear your feedback!!   Feedback \n  \n\n \nAbout Takami Nieda \nBorn in New York City\, Takami Nieda was formerly assistant professor at Sophia University in Tokyo\, and currently teaches writing and translation at Seattle Central College in the U.S. She has translated more than ten works from Japanese into English and has received numerous grants and residencies in support of her translations\, including the PEN/Heim Translation Fund.

Instead of resisting\, the boy chooses to suffer in complete resignation. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormentors. \nThese raw and realistic portrayals of bullying are counterbalanced by textured exposition of the philosophical and religious debates concerning violence to which the weak are subjected. \n\nWriter Kris Kosaka moved to Japan in 1996 to accept a position teaching high school English at an international school. She fell in love with the country and soon met her future husband\, Makoto. They made their home in Kamakura\, where Kris continued teaching and writing while raising their two children. Although temporarily in Tampa\, FL (her hometown) while their daughter completes her high school education in the States\, Kris’s heart is in Japan. In her spare time\, Kris enjoys reading and running. Kris is a frequent contributor to The Japan Times\, and a regular columnist for their Books pages. \n\nPrevious Book Clubs\n\nJFT Book Club Online: Manga – June 10\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Bring Your Own Book – April 8\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: The Memory Police – February 11\, 2021 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Breasts and Egg – November 5\, 2020 \n\nJFT Book Club Online: Travel Japan – August 20\, 2020 \n\nJFT Book Club Online – June 11\, 2020 \n\n\nMemoirs of a Polar Bear – February 20\, 2020 \n\nThe Little House – December 12\, 2019 \n\nMystery Book Club – October 10\, 2019 \n\nMovies and Books – August 8\, 2019 \n\n\nBooks and Tea – June 6\, 2019 URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/the-jft-library-book-club-heaven-by-mieko-kawakami/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Library 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:20210811T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20210811T210000 DTSTAMP:20260914T162827 CREATED:20210722T204500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210722T204500Z UID:53066-1628712000-1628715600@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:Online Nihongo Salon for Japanese-Language Teachers (11) DESCRIPTION:THE JAPAN FOUNDATION\, TORONTO\nONLINE NIHONGO SALON FOR JAPANESE-LANGUAGE TEACHERS\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto is launching a Nihongo Salon for Japanese language teachers with the aim of providing a place where Japanese language teachers in Canada who would like to maintain Japanese language proficiency can speak Japanese regularly. \nThese gatherings will be organized for Japanese language teachers in Canada who mainly have participated in previous language brush up workshops\, and we hope they can be an opportunity for teachers to regularly speak Japanese and to network with other Japanese teachers in Canada. \n11th Online Nihongo Salon         \nTopic: Let’s discuss “Dancing Sanma Palace!” \n*Before this session\, we ask that you watch videos from “Dancing Sanma Palace!” (「踊る!さんま御殿!!」) so that you can share your thoughts\nExample: 今年最も反省している事 \nDate and time: Wednesday\, August 11\, 2021   8:00 pm – 9:00 pm (Eastern Time)\nZoom meeting accessible from 7:30 pm \nExpected Participants: Japanese language teachers in Canada who would like to maintain Japanese language proficiency\, and who did not complete their compulsory education (elementary and junior high school\, 9 years) in Japan \nLanguage: Japanese \n【Contact】 Noriko Saito nsaito@jftor.org URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/nihongo-salon11/ 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:20210807T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20210807T153000 DTSTAMP:20260914T162827 CREATED:20210629T210827Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210729T221903Z UID:52833-1628341200-1628350200@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:Marugoto Teaching Material Project: 2.
