ONSTAGE\nHandheld Splendours of the Japanese Traditional Performing Arts\n \nAn exhibition presented by The Japan Foundation\nin conjunction with Cinema Kabuki 2019 Toronto\nSpecial thanks to Tomatsuya-Fukui in Kyoto and Bunsendō in Asakusa\, Tokyo\n  \nOctober 17\, 2019 – January 11\, 2020 \nADMISSION: FREE \n\nJapan’s association with fans can be traced back to the Nara period (8th century) with the cypress fans made of wooden hinged strips\, followed by the invention of paper folded fans in the Heian period (9th century).  As early as the late 10th century the paper folded fans\, which differed from flat unfoldable fans\, were exported from Japan to the Korean peninsula and China as luxury imports.  In the West\, in ancient Egypt and Greece\, there were records of folded fans\, but the tradition of using fans died out during the Middle Ages.  Whereas in the East the new technique of making fans – the application of paper on both sides of the fan ribs – was brought from China to Japan at the beginning of the Muromachi period (early 14th century).  This new method of manufacture revolutionized the production and export of fans.  Through Portuguese and Dutch traders folding fans were spread out from Japan to the global market and other cultures. \nPaper folded fans have been widely used in people’s daily lives in Japan\, but also in the ceremonies of religions and politics\, and particularly most effectively in the performing arts. \nNoh theatre\, which originated in the 15th century\, uses fans in the same symbolic way as its masks.  Noh actors are aiming on stage for some kind of unification of their souls with the spiritual being they find in the masks and fans.  Therefore\, the treatment of the objects is as rigid as the actors’ own bodies in order to achieve internal energy flow.  The faces are covered by masks and the hands are often invisible\, covered by the costume.  One can see the fans as the replacement of hands\, but the performers keep their wrists immobile to create concentrated\, abstract movements.  On the contrary\, in Kabuki theatre – founded in the early 17th century – the actors’ wrists and arms are freely moving their fans.  In Kabuki\, the external effects are established by fans\, reflecting commoners’ aesthetics.  This is the opposite of the Noh theatre aesthetic which reflects Samurai warriors’ philosophy.  In Kabuki dance\, performers turn their fans from front to back quickly\, or create swaying waves\, maneuvering their fans with their arms and wrists.  They even toss fans into the air and catch them. \nThe difference of the internal versus external use of fans in Noh and Kabuki is physically evident in the proportion of the fans.  Noh theatre fans have a silhouette almost like an upside-down equilateral triangle\, whereas Kabuki fans are wider horizontally.  In spite of these physical differences\, one thing is common: they are all beautifully handcrafted.  In both Noh and Kabuki\, fans are far beyond decoration or props.  They are the handheld splendours which can conjure universal imagery in the theatrical experience. \n  \nOctober 17\, 2019 – January 11\, 2020

These include a sound artist signaling radiation uncertainties and political geographies in an art installation; a phone booth built to allow users to communicate with their deceased loved ones; a musician who samples voices and soundscapes from her lost hometown; a Fukushima University professor conducting an ongoing soundscape archive. The productions gesture at ongoing social issues in subtle ways afforded by sound and recording. In other words\, they force us to ask: how to listen to radiation that never sounds\, to hear a house that is not there\, to attend closely to voices unsure of what to say? \nJosh Trichilo is a PhD candidate in the Humanities department at York University\, Toronto\, and was a 2018-2019 Japan Foundation Fellow. Josh’s work focuses on sound\, auditory culture\, media\, and trauma. Informed by both the fellowship and his experiences as a JET participant in Fukushima from 2011-2014\, he studies soundscape archiving\, sound art\, and experimental music among those affected by the 2011 Tōhoku triple disaster. \n  URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/trichilo/ LOCATION:The Japan Foundation\, Toronto\, 2 Bloor St. East\, 3rd Floor\, Toronto\, ON\, M4W 1A8\, Canada CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/wp-content/uploads/Josh-Trichilo_headshot-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Japan Foundation%2C Toronto":MAILTO:info_jftoronto@jpf.go.jp GEO:43.6710659;-79.3857432 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Japan Foundation Toronto 2 Bloor St. East 3rd Floor Toronto ON M4W 1A8 Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2 Bloor St. East\, 3rd Floor:geo:-79.3857432,43.6710659 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190917 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190918 DTSTAMP:20260915T032345 CREATED:20190905T140157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190905T150832Z UID:41056-1568678400-1568764799@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:FALL FILMS 2019: Thermae Romae DESCRIPTION:FALL Film Screenings\n@JFT\, admission free\, RSVP required \n\n\nThermae Romaeテルマエ・ロマエ \nTuesday September 17\, 6:30 PM \nDirected by Hideki Takeuchi (108 min.) 2012 Japanese with English subtitles \nAn epic ONSEN extravaganza!

It is an excellent chance to hear his playing\, which conveys a feeling close to the spirit of the original pioneer Nitaboh. \nSee Hiromitsu Agatsuma LIVE at the AGA-SHIO concert!  concert details here > \nMore About Hiromitsu Agatsuma’s techniques revealed on the screen; \nThe process to create an animation whose movements match the sound of the shamisen\, the key element of “NITABOH\,” was not easy\, either. The skilled shamisen player Hiromitsu Agatsuma covered Nitaro’s shamisen performance in the move. In contrast to traditional animations\, we tried to show the subtle movements of the plectrum and fingers pressed on the three strings. The music scenes from “NITABOH” were created to exactly match the shamisen music used in the movie. \nFirst we shot the real shamisen performance and recorded it on videotape. Watching the videotape\, we created the timesheets that comprised a considerable numbers of frames (24 frames per second). Based on the videotape and the timesheets\, the animators drew the animation – the movement of the shamisen and its player. At one point the plectrum hits the strings nine times in one second; in order to animate the scene\, we need to allocate quite a few animation cells to just one frame. An ordinary theatrical animation movie requires only one cell per two to three frames. Meanwhile\, every shamisen scene in “NITABOH” incorporated many cells per one frame. We all appreciate the painstaking effort of the production staff who kept close check-ups at each scene.

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 Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education. \nIn the 30th event of the series\, we will host an EdCamp for Japanese Language Teachers. EdCamps are study groups where the participants play leading roles\, and discussion topics are decided by participants at registration and/or on the spot. Participants are welcome to suggest topics related to any problem they may face in the course of teaching\, or something they want to hear others’ opinions on\, etc. The goal is not to listen to success stories\, but for participants to work together to solve problems. \nExamples of topics previously suggested at the JFT Online EdCamp for Japanese Language Teachers: \n・Using the flipped classroom method effectively\n・Methods to increase the effectiveness of reading aloud\n・The shift from a grammar-based approach to an action-oriented approach\n・AI\, Virtual Reality\, and the future of Japanese language education\n・Marugoto\n・ICT (Information and Communications Technology)\n・Teaching kanji in a group\n・Fun ways to learn elementary kanji\n・Improving effectiveness when lessons are infrequent (e.g. once a week)\n・Supporting learners who are weak at speaking or roleplay\n・Increasing the motivation level of students\n・Effectively teach students of differing language ability\n・Fun ways to conduct reading comprehension\n・Creating reading comprehension lessons for intermediate and advanced learners\n・Switching from “Minna no Nihongo” to an action-oriented syllabus\n・Japanese language education for children\n・Extra-curricular\, cultural club activities \nPlease register using the form below. \nDate: Wednesday\, July 24\, 2019 \nTime: 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm (Doors open at 6pm) \nPlace: The Japan Foundation\, Toronto　2 Bloor Street East\, Suite 300\, Toronto\, Ontario \n* Please feel free to contact the following individuals if you have any questions: \nFor Inquiries:\nNoriko Saito (The Japan Foundation\, Toronto)\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org　　Web site: www.jftor.org \nIkuko Komuro-Lee (CAJLE)\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca　　Web site: www.cajle.info URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/keizoku30/ LOCATION:The Japan Foundation\, Toronto\, 2 Bloor St. East\, 3rd Floor\, Toronto\, ON\, M4W 1A8\, Canada CATEGORIES:Teachers’ Workshops ORGANIZER;CN="The Japan Foundation%2C Toronto":MAILTO:info_jftoronto@jpf.go.jp GEO:43.6710659;-79.3857432 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Japan Foundation Toronto 2 Bloor St. East 3rd Floor Toronto ON M4W 1A8 Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2 Bloor St. East\, 3rd Floor:geo:-79.3857432,43.6710659 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20190724T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20190724T153000 DTSTAMP:20260915T032345 CREATED:20190620T171850Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190628T202447Z UID:39886-1563976800-1563982200@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:IKIGAI FILMS: Live Fashionably or Die DESCRIPTION:Live Fashionably or Die \n長編記憶映画 神様たちの街\nDirected by Yukio Tanaka (2016) 75 minutes \nDocumentary with an uplifting message about elderly society featuring a fashion show with senior citizens walking the runway.
