SUMMARY:Chikyu Films: Lu Over The Wall
DESCRIPTION:CHIKYU FILMS  \nThis spring\, we will feature a series of films\, CHIKYU FILMS\, which will share the stories and people who examine the close relationship to our environment\, our earth\, or Chikyu 地球 in Japanese. \nLU OVER THE WALL\nFriday March 15\, 2019 6:30 PM & Saturday March 16\, 2:00 PM \nDirected by Masaaki Yuasa (2017) 107 min. Japanese with English subtitles (not dubbed) \n  \nFrom visionary anime auteur Masaaki Yuasa comes a joyously hallucinogenic but family-friendly take on the classic fairy tale about a little mermaid who comes ashore to join a middle-school rock band and propel them to fame. Kai is talented but adrift\, spending his days sulking in a small fishing village after his family moves from Tokyo. His only joy is uploading songs he writes to the internet. When his classmates invite him to play keyboard in their band\, their practice sessions bring an unexpected guest: Lu\, a young mermaid whose fins turn to feet when she hears the beats\, and whose singing causes humans to compulsively dance – whether they want to or not. \nAs Kai spends more time with Lu\, he finds he is able to tell her what he is really thinking\, and a bond begins to form. But since ancient times\, the people in the village have believed that mermaids bring disaster and soon there is trouble between Lu and the townspeople\, putting the town in grave danger.  Winner of the Grand Prize at the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival and an official selection of Sundance 2018\, Lu Over the Wall is a toe-tapping\, feel-good demonstration of Yuasa’s genre-mixing mastery that will leave you humming long after you leave the theater. \n \nOther CHIKYU FILMS:\nMarch 15 & April 15  The Final Straw \nMarch 20                    The Gift from Beate

Hiroshige expressed his nostalgia and admiration to Edo\, where he was born\, lived\, and built his artistic success. Through his memories of young days and recent visits\, Toshi Aoyagi\, also from Tokyo\, intimately relates to the city described in Hiroshige’s works.

SUMMARY:The Cultural Dimensions of Packaging in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Packaging\, the wrapping of goods and materials\, indeed “wrapping” even in its widest sense\, is integral to human exchange and interaction. There are of course direct functional reasons for both personal and commercial packaging: physical protection; containment or agglomeration; security; information transmission\, or even just for general convenience\, to name but a few. However\, beyond these pragmatic rationales there are important\, often unspoken\, cultural uses for packaging and wrapping\, e.g. a package as package may have an emotional\, or a communicative\, or a symbolic import that is integral to the traditions of a culture. This talk proposes to introduce some of these same elements and their aspects as they inhere in Japanese packaging and wrapping practices. \nDr. Rudi Meyer holds a BFA from NSCAD University\, a BA from McGill University\, an MA from the University of Toronto\, and a PhD from McGill University. He has taught at both McGill and Concordia University\, while keeping up a freelance design practice\, and is now the Director of the Master of Design Program at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD University). He has had a long association with Japan\, having lived there for two years and visiting almost every year since his return to Canada to take up a position at NSCAD. He is keenly interested in Japanese design and has participated in a number of conferences devoted to the topic in Japan. His research interests also include design through use; repair and ad-hoc design as sources of innovation; flexible urban dwellings. In addition to studio courses he teaches design history and theory. \nReservations are now closed. Thank you for your interest. We will have a rush line starting 30 minutes before the event\, and will start to release unclaimed seats 10 minutes before the event.

SUMMARY:Secrets of the Smithsonian Samurai: Rediscovering the Lost ‘Living Dolls’ of Japan
DESCRIPTION:The 1893 Chicago World’s Fair was a global spectacle unlike anything the world had ever seen. To showcase its history and culture at the Fair\, Japan sent a myriad of arts\, crafts\, and other treasures. Among these were eight iki ningyō (生人形) or ‘living dolls’ – lifelike mannequins that depict a unique Japanese aesthetic – including an intriguing samurai set piece. The Smithsonian purchased these mannequins upon the Fair’s completion and later exhibited them intermittently at the US National Museum. After being removed from display\, however\, these enigmatic mannequins disappeared and were presumed lost for decades. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Robert Pontsioen of the Smithsonian Institution traces his recent rediscovery of these artifacts\, and explores their place in the artistic and cultural milieu of late 19th century Japan and America. Through collaboration with traditional artisans in Japan\, Dr. Pontsioen describes how we can both increase our understanding of museum collections and reunite source communities with treasured objects from their past. \nRobert Pontsioen is a Researcher in the Asian Cultural History Program at the National Museum of Natural History\, Smithsonian Institution. A Japan Foundation Fellowship recipient in 2016- 2017\, his research involves extensive fieldwork among artisan communities\, and centers on Japanese and other Asian material culture with a focus on traditional arts and crafts\, the reproduction of craft skills\, and strategies for cultural heritage promotion and preservation. The co-author of four books\, his recent publications include “The Alexander Graham Bell Collection of Japanese Masks at the Smithsonian” (Nineteenth Century Art Worldwide\, Vol. 17\, 2018)\, in which he describes and interprets seven unique and evocative masks collected in Japan by the famed inventor. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Landmarks From Before It Was Called Tokyo: Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
DESCRIPTION:January 18 – April 13\, 2019\n\nLandmarks From Before It Was Called Tokyo:\nHiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo\n広重作江戸名所百景展\nCo-presented by Stuart Jackson Gallery & The Japan Foundation\, Toronto\n  \nOriginal print works of One Hundred Famous Views of Edo\, for short “Edo Hyaku (hundred)”\, by Hiroshige (1797-1858) for your view\, together with related works\, and contemporary hand-carved\, hand-printed reproductions to bring back the excitement and ambience of sophisticated urban life in Edo.  \n*UPDATE: Feb 6\, 2019  – Snow storm brought additional snow scenes to Hiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo exhibition. See bottom for details.\n“Edo Hyaku” of Urban Serenity \nOne Hundred Famous Views of Edo\, for short “Edo Hyaku (hundred)” by Hiroshige is a series of multi-coloured woodblock prints depicting the landmarks of Tokyo at the time the city was called Edo. \nHiroshige (1797-1858) was an ukiyo-e artist whose reputation was most strongly established in the genre of topographical prints. This direction towards landmark themes came to Hiroshige\, a late bloomer\, in 1831 when his artistic breakthrough\, Tōto Meisho or Famous Views of the Eastern Capital (Edo) print series was published. In 1833 Hiroshige’s popularity exploded when his series 53 Stations of Tōkaidō Highway appeared. \nAcross Japan many famous views became the subjects of Hiroshige’s print series\, but the city of Edo had a special place in his artistry. In volume alone\, Hiroshige created more than one thousand prints of the landscapes of Edo. Among all these books and prints of Edo by Hiroshige\, “Edo Hyaku” occupies an even more privileged position. \n \n“Edo Hyaku” is a summit of Hiroshige’s famous view prints. He himself had previously created many series of famous views\, as though they were the foothills supporting this magnificent peak. In “Edo Hyaku”\, which was created during the last two-and-a half years of Hiroshige’s life\, the artist made one last creative leap: Unlike his travelogue prints which had sense of humour and vitality\, the urban scenes in “Edo Hyaku” embrace poetic stillness and serenity along with new dramatic elements of composition. \nContemporary researchers say that “Edo Hyaku” had an intention of providing emotional relief from the disasters of that time — the Great Ansei Earthquake in 1855 and the Great Wind Storm in 1856. Hiroshige encouraged the citizens\, celebrated the recovery and restoration\, and mourned for the victims through his artworks. Having the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in a country deeply hurt by an earthquake in 2011\, Hiroshige’s generous\, affectionate glance to the city and its residents is more touching than ever. \nOriginal works from “Edo Hyaku”\, related works\, and contemporary hand-carved\, hand-printed reproductions bring back the excitement and ambience of sophisticated urban life in Edo. Nature and the seasons along with man-made structures were fully appreciated by Edo residents who made up a population of more than a million individuals. \nHiroshige’s farewell poem\n  \nAzumaji e Fude wo nokoshite Tabi no Sora \nNishi no Mikuni no Nadokoro wo min. \nI leave my brush in the East \nAnd set forth on my journey. \nI shall see the famous places \nin the Western Land. \n  \n(The Western Land in this context refers to the strip of land by the Tōkaidō between Kyoto and Edo\, \nbut it does double duty as a reference to the paradise of the Amida Buddha.) \n  \n*Just added February 6 \n \nNight View in Takanawa \nfrom Eight Snow Views of Eastern Capital series \nThis series of eight snow scenes had never been published in Hiroshige’s life time\, only the sketch remained Paris\, France. These works are considered as Hiroshige’s latest work\, at a same time with One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. First in 1928 the blocks were carved and printed. The piece on display is a reproduction\, hand-carved\, hand-printed\, in 1979. \nThe rest of seven pieces will be added to the exhibition later this month. \nJanuary 18 – April 13\, 2019 \nShow GALLERY HOURS  \nMon 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nTues 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nWed 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nThurs 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nFri 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nJanuary 19\, February 2\, 16\, March 2\, 16\, 30\, April 13 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nFebruary 18 (Family Day) \n \n  \nADMISSION: FREE \n  \nShow The Japan Foundation\, Toronto  \n2 Bloor Street East \nHudson’s Bay Centre\, 3rd floor \nAbove Royal Bank of Canada \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229

SUMMARY:CONNECTION & CATASTROPHE: Media Theory and the Occult Film Boom in Japan
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1970s Japan was in the grip of an “occult boom” that exploded across popular media. This was a fad\, but also something more: A popular media theory that tried to come to terms with a new media ecology. The ripple effects could be felt for decades in pop culture\, politics\, and social movements. \nThis talk will outline the occult boom in film and track its roots in a new relationship to media. It will trace its route through media mix zombies\, the demise of the student movement and film producers’ conversations with UFOs. Focusing on two basic fantasies of a new kind of connectivity it will follow the logic of the occult film boom to its unexpected catastrophes. \nOn Thursday\, November 22\, Professor Zahlten will be in Montreal to give another talk supported by the Japan Foundation\, Toronto\, The Electric Ecology: Models of Connectivity in Japan’s Media Century\, at Concordia University. \nDuring October and November\, the Japan Foundation Toronto is hosting a film series\, DARK & OCCULT Films From Japan. Come get better acquainted with the subject of this talk by watching the occult films of 1970s & 1980s Japan. \n\nAlexander Zahlten is Associate Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. His work centers on film and audiovisual culture in East Asia\, with a focus on Japan. His recent work touches on topics such as film’s transition from environment to ecology\, ‘amateur’ film and media production\, or the different modes of media theorization that media cultures produce. \nRecent publications include the co-edited volume Media Theory in Japan (Duke University Press\, 2017\, with Marc Steinberg) and his monograph The End of Japanese Cinema: Industrial Genres\, National Times\, and Media Ecologies (Duke University Press\, 2017)\, which maps the transformations of the film industry in Japan from the 1960s – 2000s. \nAmong others he has curated film programs at the German Film Museum or the Japan Society New York. He was Program Director for the Nippon Connection Film Festival\, the largest festival for film from Japan\, from 2002 to 2010.
