SUMMARY:Fashion Films: UGETSU
DESCRIPTION:Fashion Films: UGETSU 雨月物語   \n@JFT\, free admission\, registration required. All films in Japanese w/English subtitles\n\n\n\nCelebrate spring with us by taking a glimpse of Japanese fashion spanning a thousand years in this film series.\nApril is also the month that international fashion icon Issey Miyake celebrates his 80th birthday on April 22!\n\n\n@ JFT\, free admission\, RSVP required.  For other films in the Fashion Films Series click here.   \n  \n \nUGETSU　雨月物語   \nTwo screenings: Thursday April 26\, 2018 1:00 PM and 6:30 PM \nDirected by Kenji Mizuguchi  \nJapanese with English subtitles\, 1953\, 97 minutes  \n  \nUgetsu\, directed by master filmmaker Kenji Mizoguchi\, is a beautiful supernatural tale set in 16th century Kyoto and Shiga prefecture. The films screenwriters Matsutaro Kawaguchi and Yoshikata Yoda wove together two stories from Akinari Uede‘s best-known work\, Ugetsu Monogatari (Tales of Moonlight and Rain\, 1776) and French writer Guy de Maupassant‘s Decore! \, 1883. The two stories from Ugetsu Monogatari\, The House in the Thicket and The Lust of the White Serpent (Asaji ga Yado and Jasei no In) are part of a collection of supernatural tales\, which are largely taken from traditional Japanese and Chinese ghost stories. \nBy the time he made Ugetsu\, Kenji Mizoguchi was already an elder statesman of Japanese cinema\, fiercely revered by Akira Kurosawa and other directors of a younger generation. And with this exquisite ghost story\, a fatalistic wartime tragedy\, he created a touchstone of his art\, his long takes and sweeping camera guiding the viewer through a delirious narrative about two villagers whose pursuit of fame and fortune leads them far astray from their loyal wives. Moving between the terrestrial and the otherworldly\, Ugetsu reveals essential truths about the ravages of war\, the plight of women\, and the pride of men. \nThe film stars Machiko Kyō\, Mitsuko Mito\, Kinuyo Tanaka\, Masayuki Mori\, and Ei Ozawa. The film won the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival and was nominated an Academy Award for for best costume. \nEssay “Ugetsu on the other shore” by Phillip Lopate from the Criterion Collection \n

The location is in Iwaki-city\, Fukushima Prefecture\, where there was the biggest coal mine on the main island of Japan. In order to save the town\, which is ailing as a result of large-scale reductions at the coal mine\, a project is launched to build a Hawaiian-style paradise in this northern town. The film is based on a true story about the people who supported the construction of the leisure facility\, “Joban Hawaiian Center”.\nA high school girl\, Kimiko (Aoi Yu)\, lives with her brother and her mother who works at the coal mine. Kimiko applies for a post as a Hawaiian Dancer despite fierce opposition from her mother. A former star dancer\, Madoka (Matsuyuki Yasuko)\, is brought in from Tokyo as a dance teacher. She ridicules the coal mine and the unsophisticated girls at first\, however\, the girls’ single-minded devotion gradually rekindles her almost forgotten passion. The girls continue with their rigorous and intensive training despite the harsh realities each girl is faced with\, and the day of the opening finally arrives.\nDirected by Lee Sang-il of Scrap Heaven. The total film attendance exceeded 1 million people\, and the film won 10 awards from the Japan Academy Prize. \n  \nRelated: Documentary Fukushima Hula Girls \nThe 2006 hit movie Hula Girl dominated film awards in Japan with its depiction of the birth of Japan’s first resort park\, themed on Hawaii and hot springs. The film was based on Spa Resort Hawaiians in Fukushima Prefecture\, an area that suffered enormous damage in the Tohoku earthquake of March 2011. Fukushima Hula Girls takes a documentary approach in following the resort’s national hula dance tour\, undertaken as a revitalization effort while fending off negative rumors. Shows the dancers who place their hopes in dance\, narrated by Hula Girl actress Aoi Yu and directed by Masaki Kobayashi. More details here >

SUMMARY:Tokyo BEFORE/AFTER Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:   \nTop images (left to right):\nNatsumi Hayashi\, Today’s Levitation 02/21/2011; Mika Ninagawa\, TOKYO INNOCENCE (2015); Image from photo album Nippon (1938).\n\nJapan Foundation Touring Exhibition: April 11 – July 11\, 2018\nTokyo BEFORE/AFTER\nPhotography Exhibition\n\n\nThis touring exhibition “Tokyo Before/After” features 80 pieces of photography in two groups. The historical works shot in Tokyo in the 1930s to 1940s are displayed in contrast with contemporary pieces created after 2010. \nBefore World War II\, the city of Tokyo in the 1930s and 1940s was about to complete the urban structural framework as a contemporary metropolis. Photographers took expressive advantage of the high technical level of their medium in order to fix the images of a vibrant\, urban space\, where the traditional and the modern co-existed and clashed at the same time. \n\nNobuyoshi Araki\, Tombeau Tokyo (2016/2017)\nIn contrast\, after 2010 Tokyo enfolds the fluid social condition of the era after the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and is experiencing even greater transformation\, aiming towards the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. Rapid digitalization of the photographic method influences the characteristics of photographic expression; thus\, the individuality and viewpoint of each artist are more clearly visible than ever. \nIn comparing the two groups of photography from these different eras\, the figures of Tokyo in the past\, present\, and future are distinctively intensifying. Tokyo is drawing international attention in the light of the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. We hope that exhibition visitors will deepen their understanding of the multi-faceted megacity of Tokyo through the photographs by Japanese artists in this touring exhibition. \nParticipating artists – “Before”\nArtists published in Koga (1932-1933):\nYasuzo Nojima\, Masao Horino\, Ihei Kimura\, Yotsuo Kono\, Hyoue Sakuma\, Koujiro Iida\, Hajime Okano \nArtists published in Nippon (1938):\nYonosuke Natori and others \nKineo Kuwabara  (1913-2007) \nParticipating artists – “After”\nNobuyoshi Araki\, Mika Ninagawa\, Motoyuki Daifu\, Shintaro Sato\, Shinya Arimoto\, Natsumi Hayashi\, Kenta Cobayashi\, Daido Moriyama \n  \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 \nApril 14\, 28\, May 12\, 26\, June 9\, 23\, July 7 \nDoors Open Toronto: May 26 & 27 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nMay 21 (Victoria 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 \n \n

SUMMARY:Directed by Japanese Women: DEAR DOCTOR
DESCRIPTION:Dear Doctor\nWednesday March 28nd\, 2018 6:30 PM\n \nDirected by Miwa Nishikawa\, 2009\n127 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles\nThe third film from Miwa Nishikawa\, whose previous film Sway swept many domestic film awards and garnered attention at the Cannes film festival. A novel she herself wrote\, bated on the idea of this film\, was nominated for the Naoki Prize. This sincere\, humanistic drama takes a scalpel to the timely theme of rural medical treatment against a beautiful pastoral backdrop. Rakugo storyteller Tsurube Shofukutei\, who has branched out into acting in recent years\, gives a highly empathetic performance in his first lead role\, as a doctor beloved by the village residents he treats. A small mountain village. Its sole and beloved doctor Ino (Shofukutei) suddenly vanises. An investigation gets underway but nobody\, including medical intern Keisuke Soma (Eita) who had arrived in town two months prior\, has any idea of Ino’s true identity. Just before disappearing\, Dr. Ino had examined a widow named Kazuko (Kaoru Yachigusa). Upon learning of her terminal condition\, Kazuko beseeched Ino to lie about it\, but before long Ino’s own secret was exposed. \nTo learn about other films in the DIRECTED BY JAPANESE WOMEN series\, click here > \n

SUMMARY:Lady Snowblood
DESCRIPTION:LADIES OF BURLESQUE + THE JAPAN FOUNDATION PRESENTS:\n \nLADIES OF BURLESQUE PRESENTS – LADY SNOWBLOOD – TRAILER from Nathan Boone on Vimeo. \n\nLADY SNOWBLOOD 修羅雪姫\n\n\n\n\n1973 / 97 min. / 18A\nDIRECTOR: Toshiya Fujita\nCAST: Meiko Kaji\, Toshio Kurosawa\, Masaaki Daimon\n\n\n7:30 PM – Pre-show  \n8:00 PM – Film start\n\nPurchase Tickets here >\n\n  \nBlood will flow\, spurt\, and stain your beautiful kimono as Ladies of Burlesque and our amazing co-presenter Japan Foundation Toronto transport you to the Meiji period of 19th century Japan with LADY SNOWBLOOD—that film Quentin Tarantino paid homage to (read: egregiously ripped off) for his KILL BILL diptych. With a traditional kata sword demonstration from the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre’s Mu Mon Kai Iaido Club performed before the film\, this screening promises to mesmerize on screen and off. \nBadass babe Meiko Kaji is Yuki\, a trained assassin out to avenge the rape of her mother. Born in a prison and with her mother dying in childbirth\, Yuki is trained by a priest in the art of vengeance by way of impressive sword skills. Setting out to assassinate the three men who violated her mother (any one of them being her father) and murdered her mother’s husband\, Yuki hunts them down one-by-one\, utilizing her expert training. Amidst the red spotted-snow of Japan\, LADY SNOWBLOOD is a stunning work of film artistry. Even when hyperbolic bloodshed reigns\, it never loses its nuanced sophistication. \nKaji\, as Yuki—in a role adapted specially for her from Kazuo Koike’s popular manga—is astounding. Un-sexualized\, and completely in control\, her performance is legendary and set the gold standard for determined\, demagogue manslayers. A popular songstress in Japan\, she also sang several of the songs featured in the film\, including “Shura no Hana” (aka “Flowers of Carnage”)\, which Tarantino used to great effect in KILL BILL: VOL. ONE\, with its O-Ren Ishii/The Bride snowy showdown. Don’t miss your chance to see the original female assassin on the big screen! \nThis Ladies of Burlesque screening is co-presented by Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nLive blade Tameshigiri demonstration by senior members of the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre’s Iaido Club\, Mu Mon Kai.

SUMMARY:Artist's Talk by Takahiro Kondo
DESCRIPTION:  \nTakahiro KONDŌ\nCeramic Artist \n \nThroughout his career\, Takahiro KONDŌ has striven to determine his own independent artistic identity through extensive experimentation. Born in Kyoto into a family celebrated for its traditional sometsuke (cobalt blue-and-white porcelain)\, he first began working with the challenging medium of porcelain and it has remained his principal material. As a young man he was a competitive sportsman\, becoming a champion in table tennis and traveling abroad for competitions. Despite his exposure to clay at an early age\, he did not seriously consider pursuing a career related to his family’s art until he was in his twenties. \n  \nKONDŌ’s early work followed the sometsuke tradition mastered by his grandfather and father and\, like them\, he was highly influenced by the work and writings of Tomimoto Kenkichi (1886-1963)\, who stressed the importance of balancing technique with originality. He quickly developed his own style and began to incorporate other media into his work\, starting with metal then adding cast glass. This early experimentation resulted in his unique and highly distinctive “silver mist” (gintekisai) glaze\, which is an amalgam of platinum\, gold\, silver and glass frit that ranges in appearance from a subtle shimmer to a stream of molten drops that cling and pool over the porcelain surfaces. \n  \nWater has been his principal theme for many years and he has explored not only its physical forms such as rain\, ice\, steam\, and mist\, but also its conceptual aspects as a source of life\, purifier\, natural resource\, and\, most currently\, as a critical environmental issue in regards to the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. KONDŌ was deeply affected by the natural disasters that befell Japan in 2011 and has incorporated his thoughts and feelings on the subject into most of his work since then. He continues to spend substantial time fund-raising and working with those residing in the areas most devastated by those cataclysmic events. \nIn conjunction with Year of Japan of the Gardiner Museum\nFree admission\, Reservation Required: \nIn Japanese with English interpretation \n416.966.1600 x.229\, or scroll below \n \n

SUMMARY:Directed by Japanese Women: MEGANE
DESCRIPTION:MEGANE めがね\nThursday March 15th\, 2018 1:00 PM > Also part of our MARCH BREAK FILMS! \n \nDirected by Naoko Ogigami\, 2007\n106 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles \nIt’s early spring and still chilly when Taeko (Kobayashi Satomi) comes to a small seaside town on a southern island for some time off. There is no sightseeing spot on the island and people come here to “twilight”. \n \n  \nTaeko stays at “Hamada”\, which is run by Yuji (Mitsuishi Ken) who carries on at his own speed almost to a fault. People of distinctive character seem to gather at “Hamada”\, including Sakura (Motai Masako)\, a mysterious woman who every year comes from somewhere in the early spring\, and a high school teacher\, Haruna (Ichikawa Mikako)\, who drops by every day. \n \n  \nThere is also this intriguing exercise\, Merci taiso\, which the residents on the island do as part of their daily routine but only during the spring. \n  \nTaeko is bewildered with the life on the island which is completely out the norm for her\, but as she spends more time\, she begins to blend in with the slow pace on the island. The film portrays the main character who is tired of urban life but begins to look at herself through interaction with people on her trip. \nFilms also directed by Naoko Ogigami include Close Knit\, Rent-A-Cat\, Toilet\, Kamome Diner\, Go Go Haiku Girl and Yoshino’s Barber. \n  \nTo learn about other films in the DIRECTED BY JAPANESE WOMEN series\, click here > \n

SUMMARY:Directed by Japanese Women: RADIANCE
DESCRIPTION:RADIANCE 光\nThursday March 8th\, 2018 6:30 PM\n   \nDirected by Naomi Kawase\, 2017\n101 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles\nMarch 8th is international women’s day and March is also Women’s history month\, and what better way to celebrate this than watching films made by Japanese women. Radiance is the first film to be featured in this series of four films by pre-eminent female filmmakers from Japan. \nRadiance is the stunning new film by director Naomi Kawase. The film is a beautiful drama about an encounter between two lost and wounded souls. Misako (Ayame Misaki) is able to capture the beauty of cinema through her words\, and shares this special gift by writing concise audio descriptions of films for the visually impaired. \nThe photographer Nakamori (Masatoshi Nagase) is going through a difficult point in life as he gradually loses his sight. The two are brought together as Misako’s cinematic poetry helps to shine light through the film and slowly win the hearts of the two main characters. \nRadiance was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2017 Cannes. At Cannes\, it won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury. \nOther critically acclaimed films directed by Naomi Kawase are;  Shara (2003)\, The Mourning Forest (Jury Grand Prix\, 2007)\, Hanezu (2011)\, Still the Water (2014) and Sweet Bean (Un Certain Regard 2015). \nTo learn about other films in the DIRECTED BY JAPANESE WOMEN series\, click here >

Four people give different accounts of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife\, which director Akira Kurosawa presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and international sensation revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema—and a commanding new star by the name of Toshiro Mifune—to the Western world. \nSunday February 11\, 2018 @1:15 PM\nSEVEN SAMURAI\n\nhttp://criterion-trailers.s3.amazonaws.com/SEVEN_SAMURAI_trailer_fixed_x500.mp4\nDirected by Akira Kurosawa\n1954\, 207 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles\nFree admission\, no RSVP required \nOne of the most thrilling movie epics of all time\, Seven Samurai (Shichinin no samurai) tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment\, delicate human emotions and relentless action\, into a rich\, evocative\, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Being a doctor in Japan: From the everyday to the extraordinary
DESCRIPTION:Japan\, like all developed countries\, is facing challenges providing healthcare services to those living outside its major centres. Japan spends about 11% of its GDP on healthcare\, the same as in Canada. As is well known\, overall already 27% of Japan’s citizens are aged 65 or over\, compared with about 17% in Canada. Japan’s regional areas tend to be even older and suffer from a shortage of doctors. \nThe panel will comprise two parts. Dr. Shinya Ito\, of the Hospital for Sick Children\, will outline how Japan prepares doctors and delivers care and support in its regions\, in normal\, “everyday” circumstances.
