SUMMARY:Ainu: Indigenous People of Japan (film screening)
DESCRIPTION:Ainu: Indigenous People of Japan • アイヌ：ひと\nTHURSDAY\, DECEMBER 8\, 7:00 PM (ET) | In-Person at the JFT Event HallDoors Open at 6:30 PM \n   \n \nDirected by MIZOGUCHI Naomi • 2019 • Documentary • 80 min.Presented in Japanese and Ainu with English subtitles • TrailerIn-person Film Screening • Admission Free • RSVP Required (register below) \nWith Human Rights Day (December 10) upon us\, we’re inviting you to join us in-person to revisit Ainu: Indigenous People of Japan for a special extended cut of the award-winning documentary. \nSynopsis: Ainu means human in Ainu language. The Ainu are the indigenous people of Japan. Hokkaido\, the northern island of Japan\, was previously called Ainumosir\, or land of the Ainu. Ainu traditions are facing a critical situation; the latest survey revealed that the Ainu population is less than 20\,000 people in Hokkaido\, and UNESCO has recognized the language as ‘critically endangered.’ \nDirector Naomi MIZOGUCHI depicts the manifold attempts of the Ainu today to regain and pass on their cultural identity. This documentary was filmed in Biratori town in Hokkaido\, where many people with Ainu roots still live. It is also known as the hometown of the late Shigeru Kayano\, who contributed greatly to the field of research on Ainu culture. \nEvery attendee will receive a complimentary educational booklet donated by The Foundation for Ainu Culture. \n \n \nWe’re also presenting a beautiful short film titled 60のゆりかご (60 Cradles | 60 no yurikago) before the feature documentary. This animated piece is based on fantastical Ainu lullabies mothers would sing to soothe their crying children.  \nThe short film is generously provided and created by the Upopoy National Ainu Museum in Hokkaido. \n  \n  \nDirector’s Statement: \nI was born in Hyogo Prefecture on the main island of Honshu in Japan and  reached adulthood knowing almost nothing about the Ainu. After collaborating on a film with indigenous people in Colombia\, Ecuador\, and Nepal\, I developed a strong desire to learn about the Ainu who live in my home country. \nIn 2008\, I visited the town of Biratori for the first time. At the time\, I was searching  for ways in which indigenous people from around the world could meet and learn from  each other through video making. On my fifth visit to Biratori in 2015\, a staff member at the local museum mentioned  that they wanted to document modern Ainu culture on video. This inspired me to make this film\, Ainu – Indigenous People of Japan.  \nThe four elders featured in the film were born before World War II\, went through many difficulties\, and survived many social changes. Now\, even in their 80s\, they all are proactive in various local activities and try to pass down Ainu culture to younger generations. I was certain that the stories and activities of these four individuals would  become invaluable video material not only of Ainu history but indeed\, Japanese history as a whole. \nThe existence of the Ainu people is virtually unknown not only around the world  but also in Japan. My biggest hope is that this documentary will increase the number of  people who become interested in the rich\, sophisticated culture of the Ainu by learning  about their daily lives and the history of the four people featured in the film. \nIn Collaboration with the Nibutani Ainu Culture Museum: \nThe Nibutani Ainu Culture Museum opened in 1992 with the mission of accurately passing down Ainu culture and its history to future generations. The Museum houses more than 1\,000 National Important Tangible Folk Cultural Properties as well as other various traditional crafts. It also has a large collection of video materials\, including yukar\, or heroic epic poems. The Nibutani neighborhood that is home to the Museum is also host to the Shigeru Kayano Ainu Culture Museum and the Historical Museum of the Saru River. It is renowned as a rare place where there is an abundance of Ainu cultural study materials. \n  \nRelated Programming:\nInuit Print Art and its Early Japanese Influences \nIn the mid-20th century\, a series of fortunate events led to the introduction of Japanese printmaking techniques to the Inuit community of Cape Dorset. In this talk with Dr. Norman Vorano\, we will hear the story of how these ancient traditions of Japan made their way to the remote Canadian arctic\, how Inuit artists built upon these traditions\, and the ways in which Inuit printmaking continues to thrive today. \nWatch Here \n  \nReviving Ainu Lost Traditions on Screen: HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s Documentary Films \nJoin Dr. Marcos Centeno for a special presentation examining the historic and cultural significance of HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s documentary films about the Ainu people. Dr. Centeno will introduce us to the history of Ainu representation on screen\, which goes back as far as the inception of cinema. Unlike previous documentaries featuring the Ainu\, the films Director Himeda made in the 1970s alongside Ainu leader and trailblazer KAYANO Shigeru showcase a new ethnographic approach where the Ainu are not depicted as exotic nor primitive. \nWatch Here   \n  \n \nLearn More about Indigenous Peoples of Japan with JFT Library’s Books & More  \nDeepen your understanding about the Ainu people and their culture and history by checking out JFT library’s books\, audiovisual materials and/or ebooks on indigenous peoples of Japan before or after the film screening!  \nApply for a new library card or renew your expired card here. \nStop by our library in-person on Tuesdays\, Thursdays\, and select Saturdays. \n  \n Library Card \n

DESCRIPTION:Art of the Game: Ukiyo-e Heroes\nTHURSDAY\, DECEMBER 1\, 7:00 PM (ET) | In-Person at the JFT Event HallDoors open at 6:30 PM \n \nDirector: TOKIKAWA Toru • 2017 • Documentary • 97 min.Presented in English/Japanese with English subtitles • TrailerIn-Person Film Screening • Free Admission • RSVP Required (register below) \nA journey of discovery into how a Canadian craftsman and an American designer\, with a father and son generation gap\, team up to revive the ancient art of Japanese woodblock prints (Ukiyo-e) by juxtaposing traditional art with pop culture icons such as Super Mario and Pokémon. \nUkiyo-e: The traditional art form known worldwide as the “Face of Japan” has over several hundred years inspired Van Gogh\, Monet and Picasso to create their masterpieces. Today\, there are less than 10 remaining craftsmen in Japan. \nA Canadian craftsman\, David Bull\, has become one of the leading ukiyo-e artists in Japan. He gave up everything to come to Tokyo 30 years ago to learn the ancient craft from scratch. David teamed up with a young American illustrator and a video game nerd\, Jed Henry\, to revolutionize the business for global Asian art collectors and fans of Japanese games and pop culture. This became the Ukiyo-e Heroes project. You can view Ukiyoe Heroes’ works here. \nWe follow the making-of of their new print and witness the miraculous collaboration of the two contrasting artists: old-school and new-school\, artisanal and digital\, who need each other to create inspirational for a global audience. The film also feature iconic Japanese craftsmen who work with them\, including IWANO Ichibei\, who is the 8th generation handmade Japanese paper grand master. \nIn conjunction with our current gallery exhibition\, Hiroshige’s “Edo Hyaku”: Perspectives of Landscape Ukiyo-e Prints”. \n \n\nRelated Programming:\n \nHiroshige’s “Edo Hyaku”: Perspectives of Landscape Ukiyo-e Prints in Portrait Layout \n“Edo Hyaku”\, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo 名所江戸百景 (Meisho Edo Hyakkei) is a series of over one hundred woodblock prints designed by Hiroshige (1797–1858) \, which began to be published in 1856 and was completed in 1859 after Hiroshige’s death.

SUMMARY:The Politics of Japan’s Response to COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:How did Japan respond to the COVID-19 pandemic\, and what were the political factors that shaped its approach? Japan recorded the lowest number of COVID-19 deaths per capita among OECD countries. This was despite considerable vulnerabilities – for example\, Japan has the oldest population in the world and relatively limited hospital capacity to accommodate a surge in patients. Japanese leaders have touted the merits of the “Japan model” of COVID-19 response as exemplary of how to manage the pandemic without sacrificing fundamental democratic values and civil liberties. The model broadly emphasizes the avoidance of mandates and harsh lockdowns\, maintenance of macroeconomic growth\, and evidence-based measures that rely on scientific experts. What contributed to the Japan model\, and are there useful lessons for other countries like Canada? \n\nPhillip Y. Lipscy is professor of political science at the University of Toronto\, where he is also Chair in Japanese Politics and Global Affairs and the Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Japan at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy. In addition\, he is cross-appointed as professor at the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo. His research addresses substantive topics such as international cooperation\, international organizations\, the politics of energy and climate change\, international relations of East Asia\, and the politics of financial crises. He has also published extensively on Japanese politics and foreign policy. Before arriving at the University of Toronto\, Dr. Lipscy was assistant professor of political science at Stanford University. Dr. Lipscy obtained his Ph.D. in political science at Harvard University. He received his M.A. in international policy studies and B.A. in economics and political science at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:The Ainu Films of HIMEDA Tadayoshi
DESCRIPTION:The Japan Foundation\, Toronto is proud to present three films from the late pioneering filmmaker\, HIMEDA Tadayoshi. These documentaries have rarely been shown outside of Japan and are of immense ethnological importance. \nDuring the 1970s and 1980s\, Director Himeda created a series of films in close collaboration with the late Ainu trailblazer KAYANO Shigeru. Mister Kayano was the first Ainu to sit in the Japanese parliament and one of the last native speakers of the Ainu language. For those who watched our screening of Ainu: Indigenous People of Japan\, you may remember one of the elders of the film\, KAYANO Reiko\, who is the wife of the late KAYANO Shigeru. \nSpecial thanks to Mr. HIMEDA Ran (son of Director Himeda) for all of your support! \nDon’t miss the special presentation with Dr. Marcos Centeno (Birbeck\, University of London) as he shines a light on the historic\, ethnological\, and artistic significance of HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s documentaries. This presentation serves as a perfect introduction to Director Himeda’s films. \nAll three films will be available online North America-wide from:\nFriday\, September 2 – Sunday\, September 4  \n\n  \nChise-a-Kar -We Build A House- • チセアカラ －われら家つくる－ \nDirected by HIMEDA Tadayoshi • 1974 • Documentary •  57 min. • Presented in Ainu with English subtitles\nOnline Film Screening (North America only) • Admission Free • RSVP Required (register below) \nThis film centers on the construction of a traditional style house\, their houses being not only very distinctive but also figuring prominently in religious ritual. The houses were rectangular and pole-framed\, thatched with Miscanthus or bamboo-leaf; the doorway was protected by a skin or woven hanging and various parts of the house\, such as the hearth and a window on the eastern side\, would serve ceremonial purposes. \n\n  \nI-Omante -The Bear Ritual- • イヨマンテ －熊おくり－ \nDirected by HIMEDA Tadayoshi • 1977 • Documentary •  103 min. • Presented in English\, Japanese\, and Ainu with English subtitles\nOnline Film Screening (North America only) • Admission Free • RSVP Required (register below) \nThis film focuses on I-OMANTE ritual that is to liberate the souls of the Gods from the furs and meat and send them back to the Land of the Gods. The Ainu believed that bears were Gods. The Gods come to the Land of the Ainu\, which means “human beings”\, with meat\, furs and medicine (the gall bladders of the bears) as their gifts. \nContent Warning: Animal death as part of the bear ritual. \n\n  \nWedding Ceremony of the Ainus • アイヌの結婚式 \nDirected by HIMEDA Tadayoshi • 1971 • Documentary •  33 min. • Presented in Japanese and Ainu with English subtitles\nOnline Film Screening (North America only) • Admission Free • RSVP Required (register below) \nThe documentary is a record of a marriage ceremony that took place in April 1971 and was performed in accordance with Ainu traditions at the request of the young bride. There were two hurdles to overcome in the realization of the ceremony: first\, a group of Ainu had to be convinced\, who were against a revival of the tradition. Secondly\, there were only a few members of the community who knew the details of the ceremony at all\, since most of them had already been celebrating a wedding in their own style for over 80 years. \n\nAbout HIMEDA Tadayoshi (1928-2013): \nBorn in 1928 in Kobe\, Hyogo Prefecture\, HIMEDA Tadayoshi graduated from the local business university in 1948. Six years later\, Himeda went to Tokyo and worked there in the field of modern theatre. In addition to his work as a screenwriter for television\, he studied with the ethnologist MIYAMOTO Tsuneichi. In 1976\, Himeda founded the Center for Ethnological Visual Documentation (Minzoku Bunka Eizō Kenkyujo)\, which he has headed until 2012. \nFor more than 50 years\, he has been documenting the lives and culture of the common people using visual media\, and created more than 120 films. \nHimeda and his Center are known worldwide through joint projects with the Collège de France in France\, lectures and film series at Harvard University\, and events at universities\, museums and research institutions in Europe. He has received numerous important prizes in Japan and abroad for his work. \n\nIn Conjunction With:\nReviving Ainu Lost Traditions on Screen: HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s Documentary Films \nJoin Dr. Marcos Centeno (Birbeck\, University of London) for a special presentation examining the historic and cultural significance of HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s documentary films about the Ainu people. Dr. Centeno will introduce us to the history of Ainu representation on screen\, which goes back as far as the inception of cinema. Unlike previous documentaries featuring the Ainu\, the films Director Himeda made in the 1970s alongside Ainu leader and trailblazer KAYANO Shigeru showcase a new ethnographic approach where the Ainu are not depicted as exotic nor primitive. \nThis presentation serves as a perfect introduction to our online screenings this weekend\, The Ainu Films of HIMEDA Tadayoshi. \nOnline Talk Event   \n\nRelated Programming:\nInuit Print Art and its Early Japanese Influences \nIn the mid-20th century\, a series of fortunate events led to the introduction of Japanese printmaking techniques to the Inuit community of Cape Dorset.

SUMMARY:Reviving Ainu Lost Traditions on Screen: HIMEDA Tadayoshi's documentary films
DESCRIPTION:Event Abstract: \nFilm representations of the Ainu people have existed since the inception of cinema but they have not remained stable over time. Ainu people were initially an object of interest for outsiders who portrayed them as “other” primitives\, isolated from the modern world. The notion of “otherness” was slightly modified in the postwar period\, when entertainment films and the tourist industry presented the new romanticized image of a “pseudo-Ainu” (giji Ainu) disconnected from their social reality and history. However\, HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s documentaries made in the 70s alongside the Ainu leader KAYANO Shigeru\, marked a significant turning point in Ainu film representation. This presentation focuses the first three films they collaborated in: The Wedding Ceremony of the Ainus (Ainu no kekkonshiki\, 1971)\, Chise a Kar -We Build A House- (Chise a kara. Warera ie o tsukuru\, 1974) and I-omante -The Bear Ritual- (Iyomante\, Kuma okuri\, 1977). It will be examined how\, unlike previous documentaries featuring the Ainu\, these films showcase a new ethnographic approach in which the Ainu are not depicted as an exotic tribe but a conventional people who are aware of their cultural assimilation. Additionally\, the presentation will explore Himeda’s innovative approach in which for the first time\, Ainu voices have a predominant role in the representation\, mainly through the dialogues with KAYANO Shigeru whose comments provide an unseen close gaze to the Ainu traditions projected on screen. – Dr. Marcos Centeno \nIn this talk\, Dr. Marcos Centeno will shine a light on the historic\, ethnological\, and artistic significance of HIMEDA Tadayoshi’s documentaries. \nRegister below to receive a link to the live presentation prior to the start of the event. \n\nSpeaker Biography: \n \nMarcos Centeno is lecturer in Media and Japanese Studies at University of Valencia and Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck College\, University of London\, where he was the Japanese Programme director and taught modules related to Japanese Cinema\, contemporary Japanese culture and society. He is also research associate at the SOAS University of London\, where\, he had been lecturer in Film Studies for the Department of Japan and Korea and coordinated the MA Global Cinemas and the Transcultural. His research interests revolve around Japanese documentary film\, particularly the visual representation of minorities\, transculturality and diversity. He written extensively on the film representation of the Ainu people and his full-length documentary film\, Ainu. Pathways to Memory (2014) received several prizes. He has recently coedited with Michael Raine Developments in the Japanese Documentary Mode (Arts\, 2020). and with Norimasa Morita Japanese Transnational Cinema (Mpdi 2020) and Japan beyond its Borders: Transnational Approaches to Film and Media (Seibunsha\, 2020) which resulted from the “Japanese Transnational Cinema” project funded by Sasakawa and Daiwa foundations\, Waseda and the Japanese Ministry of Education.
