SUMMARY:KATSUSHIKA Oei: A Woman Artist in the Floating World
DESCRIPTION:KATSUSHIKA Oei (Ōi) is not a household name. 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.

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.

She read Japanese Studies at the University of Cambridge and after graduating worked in Japan as a translator.

SUMMARY:38th JAPAN FILM FESTIVAL - Koshien: Japan's Field of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:The 38th Annual Japan Film Festival \nCo-presented by the Canadian Film Institute\, Embassy of Japan in Canada and The Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nThursday\, December 10\, 2020 to Saturday\, December 12\, 2020 \n@ONLINE\, admission free\, registration required \nOne of the Canadian Film Institute’s longest-running annual festivals\, the Japan Film Festival\, has showcased the best in contemporary filmmaking from Japan. Despite the pandemic\, this cinematic tradition continues online to film lovers all across Canada. Presented with the generous support of and in collaboration with the Embassy of Japan and The Japan Foundation\, Toronto. \nDetails > \n\n \nKoshien: Japan’s Field of Dreams  \nDirected by YAMAZAKI Ema Ryan \n2019 | 94 min. | Japanese with English Subtitles \nClick here to watch movie > \nMizutani Kantoku’s (head coach) whole life has been in preparation for the historic 100th Koshien\, the wildly popular High School baseball tournament that defines the Japanese summer. 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. Despite their own individual agonies\, his two daughters Mari and Fumi return home to take care of their father together with their mother Yoko as he faces Alzheimer’s disease. As Shohei’s memory gradually deteriorates\, the family learns about an unexpected “recollection” that lives within him. In a long goodbye to their father\, fond memories and forgotten hopes flow back into their lives. \nA Long Goodbye is the film adaptation of Naoki Prize-winning author NAKAJIMA Kyoko’s same-named novel with NAKANO Ryota (Her Love Boils Bathwater\, 2016) serving as director and screenplay writer. The film delivers a touching\, and humorous depiction of seven years in the lives of a father diagnosed with dementia. \nThe screening includes a discussion about dementia with Kiyoshi Dembo of the Momiji Health Care Society (Toronto) with CFI Executive Director Tom McSorley and Program Officer at The Japan Foundation\, Nobi Nakamura. \n(c) 2019 “A Long Goodbye” Film Partners \nClick here to watch movie > \nLet us know how you liked the film! \nA Long Goodbye trailer below > \n \n

SUMMARY:38th JAPAN FILM FESTIVAL - A Long Goodbye
DESCRIPTION:The 38th Annual Japan Film Festival \nCo-presented by the Canadian Film Institute\, Embassy of Japan in Canada and The Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nThursday\, December 10\, 2020 to Saturday\, December 12\, 2020 \n@ONLINE\, admission free\, registration required \nOne of the Canadian Film Institute’s longest-running annual festivals\, the Japan Film Festival\, has showcased the best in contemporary filmmaking from Japan. Despite the pandemic\, this cinematic tradition continues online to film lovers all across Canada. Presented with the generous support of and in collaboration with the Embassy of Japan and The Japan Foundation\, Toronto. \nDetails > \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. Despite their own individual agonies\, his two daughters Mari and Fumi return home to take care of their father together with their mother Yoko as he faces Alzheimer’s disease. As Shohei’s memory gradually deteriorates\, the family learns about an unexpected “recollection” that lives within him. In a long goodbye to their father\, fond memories and forgotten hopes flow back into their lives. \nA Long Goodbye is the film adaptation of Naoki Prize-winning author NAKAJIMA Kyoko’s same-named novel with NAKANO Ryota (Her Love Boils Bathwater\, 2016) serving as director and screenplay writer. The film delivers a touching\, and humorous depiction of seven years in the lives of a father diagnosed with dementia. \nThe screening includes a discussion about dementia with Kiyoshi Dembo of the Momiji Health Care Society (Toronto) with CFI Executive Director Tom McSorley and Program Officer at The Japan Foundation\, Nobi Nakamura. \n(c) 2019 “A Long Goodbye” Film Partners \nClick here to watch movie > \nLet us know how you liked the film! \nLinks: Momiji Health Care Society\, Alzheimer’s Canada\, Japanese Medical Support Network Canada \nA Long Goodbye trailer below > \n \n\n \nKoshien: Japan’s Field of Dreams  \nDirected by YAMAZAKI Ema Ryan \n2019 | 94 min. | Japanese with English Subtitles \nClick here to watch movie > \nMizutani Kantoku’s (head coach) whole life has been in preparation for the historic 100th Koshien\, the wildly popular High School baseball tournament that defines the Japanese summer. 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 >

SUMMARY:Re-engineering Reproductive Futures in Japanese Science Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Scholars and pundits of contemporary Japan regularly note statistics that point to an alarming downturn in population growth (shōshi kōreika). 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. She studied at the University of British Columbia and Washington University in St. Louis. Her research interest is modern and contemporary Japanese literature\, with a focus on the exploration of gender and sexuality via speculative and science fiction. She is currently working on a book manuscript titled Re-engineering (Re)productive Futures: Sexuality\, Mother\, and Kinship in Japanese Speculative Fiction. Her articles have appeared in U.S.-Japan Women’s Journal and Japanese Language and Literature. She is also a former recipient of the Japanese Foundation dissertation fellowship in 2012.

SUMMARY:The Many Lives of a Japanese Classic
DESCRIPTION:The large corpus of literary works by accomplished and highly educated women writers that emerged during the Heian period (794–1185) in Japan played an important role in the creation of a national literary tradition. 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. She holds a Ph.D. in Asian Studies from the University of British Columbia. From 2010-2011\, she carried out research at Sophia University\, Tokyo\, as a Japan Foundation Fellow. 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).
