SUMMARY:March Documentaries: Reviving Recipes
DESCRIPTION:Reviving Recipes\nDirected by Satoshi Watanabe\, 2012\, 95 minutes\nThursday\, March 23rd\, 6:30 pm EVENT HALL\n* Special guest introduction by Sociocultural & Linguistic Anthropology PhD student Mr. Shayne Dahl. He will be sharing some rare insight on the film and filmmaker.\nThis beautiful documentary shines a light on “heirloom vegetables” handed down through generations in Yamagata Prefecture. Heirloom vegetables have been grown in the places where they originated over the ages\, but are disappearing due to their incompatibility with the standards of modern mass production and consumption. This film examines the future of food and agriculture through the activities of producers striving to preserve heirloom vegetables\, scholars investigating the potential of the traditional farming techniques used to grow them\, and chefs who get the most out of them as ingredients in innovative new dishes. \n\n\n>> Also for this screening only\, we will have a special free ticket draw for attendees to the upcoming Nagata Shachu concert series: Toronto Taiko Talks taking place April 8+9. Concert details here >\nClick below for English & Japanese synopsis \nReviving Recipes Synopsis ENG \nよみがえりのレシピあらすじ

SUMMARY:Bikers\, Widows\, and Bodhisattvas – Female Priests in Japanese Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces three female Buddhist priests from different schools of Buddhism in different areas of Japan: A Shingon priest from Mt. Koya\, a Pure Land priest from Tokyo\, and a Nichiren priest from Sapporo. In response to the general trend in Buddhist studies to focus on exemplars of the tradition\, I am concerned with uncovering stories of “ordinary” priests. It is my contention that these lives are\, in fact\, both extraordinary and significant in what they can teach us about how temple Buddhism is lived. When we look at female priests not simply for insights into how their experiences differ from men’s\, but rather take their stories on their own merits\, we discover a Buddhist world that is both familiar and unknown\, one with new landmarks\, coastlines\, and boundaries. \nRegistration is now closed. We thank everyone for their interest. \n\n \nDr. Mark Rowe is an associate professor in the department of Religious Studies at McMaster University\, where he teaches a variety of courses in East Asian Religions\, with a focus in Buddhism. His current research focuses on collecting biographies of what he refers to as “non-eminent” priests. Foregoing investigation of the oft studied famous exemplars of the tradition\, he seeks to offer insight into the lives of “ordinary” priests. Dr. Rowe was the recipient of a Japan Foundation fellowship in the summer of 2016\, where he traveled to Japan to conduct further research. In this talk he presents some of the findings uncovered during this most recent research trip to Japan.

SUMMARY:Road of Light and Hope: National Treasures of Todai-ji Temple\, Nara
DESCRIPTION:Road of Light and Hope\nNational Treasures of Todai-ji Temple\, Nara\nPhotographs by Miro Ito\nco-presented by Media Art League\, Japan Camera Industry Institute\, and The Japan Foundation\, Toronto\nPhotographed with the special permission of Todai-ji\, Japan\nMarch 15\, 2017 – June 28\, 2017\n*Artist talk with Miro Ito on May 26\, 2017\, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm\nThe history of the city of Nara can be traced back to its years as the ancient capital of Japan from 710 to 784 when it was known as Heijokyo. Japan’s administrative systems and legal codes were reformed by the central government in Nara on the basis of the newly adopted state religion\, Buddhism\, as well as Chinese Confucianism and legalism. As part of this national transformation\, a central temple was built in each province\, and in order to oversee these provincial religious centres\, the Todai-ji temple was established in Nara by Emperor Shomu. \nThe Great Buddha Hall which houses the seated statue of the Vairocana Buddha with a height of over 15 metres is the centrepiece of the Todai-ji temple. The Hall was once surrounded by buildings\, towers\, and other facilities on a grand scale. Repeated periods of destruction were followed by rebuilding\, and the surviving buildings and artifacts at the Todai-ji temple are part of the precious heritage which many Japanese identify with\, as well as an important example of human civilization recognised the world over. \nAt the time of the construction of the Todai-ji temple in the eighth century\, the Eurasian continent was ruled by myriad powers: from the western Kingdom of the Franks under Charlemagne\, the Byzantine Empire\, the Umayyad dynasty and Abbasid-Seljuq Empire\, to the Tang dynasty under Emperor Xuanzong in the east. \nNara is considered to be the easternmost terminus of the Silk Road extending through Eurasia from Rome. Trade and cultural exchange in the eighth century led to these statues\, structures\, musical instruments\, and craftsmanship to be accumulated at this temple. The influence from the West can be detected in many of these cultural treasures\, which are the signs of a flourishing cultural exchange. \nThis photo exhibition is a tribute to the remarkable historical exchange among various ethnic and religious groups\, philosophies and teachings\, arts and artisanship\, as well as diverse folk cultures of the Eurasian continent. \nMiro Ito is one of the few photographers who have been permitted to document the national treasures at the Todai-ji Temple. \nMiro Ito states: \n“Amid today’s religious divisions and clashes as well as the countless — seemingly endless — conflicts\, the Eurasian history of interactions may well hold a key for bringing the world together…”   \n  \nGALLERY HOURS       *exhibition will be closed on April 25th from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm. \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 \nSaturday openings:\n11:00 am – 4:00 pm\nMarch 18\, April 8\, 22\, May 13\, 27\, June 10\, 24 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays\nClosed for Easter: April 14 to 17\nMay 22 (Victoria Day) \nADMISSION: FREE \nIn conjunction with this photography exhibit by Miro Ito\, the Tenpyo Art Screenings will cover a variety of related subjects; Gigaku masks; fire festivals in Nara\, Gagaku ancient music\, and much more. \nFor more details > \n  \nSPECIAL THANKS: \nTodai-ji Temple\, Nara National Museum\, Nippon Care Communications\, Japan National Tourism Organization \nEquipment provided by Canon Marketing Japan\, Iino Media Pro\nScroll photo printed by Canon USA\nEnglish text for the photographs edited by Andreas Boettcher

SUMMARY:Japanese Movies in London: Dashi & Shoyu
DESCRIPTION:Presented in cooperation with the Western University Department of English and Writing Studies and the London Public Library\n\nJapanese Food: A Documentary Film Series\nJapan\, Man and Nature in Harmony: Dashi\, Essence of Japan\nDirected by Shohei Shibata\n2014\, 49 minutes\nDocumentary \nFor centuries\, the Japanese have learned to draw from the treasures of nature; their cuisine distills the very best from the country’s oceans\, mountains and forests. ‘Dashi’ is the bedrock of Japanese cuisine. Deceptively simple\, master chefs have jealously guarded its secrets for centuries. Its development came about as a result of a historical event that triggered a “food revolution”: Buddhism arrived in Japan 1500 years ago\, prohibiting the consumption of meat. The Japanese quickly sought other sources of ‘umami’ taste and found it in Dashi. \n  \nJapan\, Man and Nature in Harmony: Shoyu and the Secrets of Japanese Cuisine\nDirected by Shohei Shibata\n2014\, 49 minutes\nDocumentary \nThe Japanese discovered that a humble mould spore could transform soya beans into ‘Shoyu’\, the soy sauce that is a pillar of Japanese cuisine. Sprinkle it on rice and the rice changes into sake… This mould is a tiny organism called ‘Aspergillus oryzae’ and mysteriously\, it exists only in Japan! We travel to the imperial city of Kyoto\, where the ancient craft of brewing Shoyu is preserved. This delicate process begins in spring and requires a whole year to mature the soy sauce. The Shoyu brewer knows it is all a question of balance and harmony…

SUMMARY:Does Privacy Exist in the Age of Big Data?
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Professor Ishii will look at changing technology over the past few decades\, and examine how rapid development has affected privacy law and personal data protection in Japan. Such a discussion would not be complete without mention of the Privacy by Design framework\, an approach to systems engineering that considers privacy from the outset\, rather than tacked on as an afterthought. Originating with the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario in 1995\, the principles are used broadly around the world.\nDiscussions on protecting personal data in Japanese statutes have been made in reference to technologies such as tracking techniques for behavioral advertising\, accumulating massive personal data in cloud computing services\, collecting personal preferences via smart phone applications\, profiling using Big Data\, data collected through sensor functions of the Internet of Things\, and the like. \n\nKaori Ishii is an Associate Professor at the University of Tsukuba\, Faculty of Library\, Information and Media Science and is currently a Visiting Professor in the Department of Law & Business at Ryerson University. Prior to working in academia\, she served as an attorney at law\, and also worked for the legal department of a large manufacturing company in Japan. She has contributed much in her role as a member of many expert committees in the Cabinet Secretariat\, Ministries\, and local governments in Japan\, and has also served as a commentator on TV and in printed media.

Three Living National Treasures—Kichiemon\, Tomijuro\, and Tojuro—create a splendid tableau of historical grandeur. \n  \nTHREE THIEVES NAMES KICHISA (an urban outlaw story)\nSan’nin Kichisa 三人吉三 : 三人吉三廓初買 さんにんきちさくるわのはつかい \n\n \nPremiered in 1860\nWritten by Kawatake Mokuami\nDirected for the stage and Cinema Kabuki by Kushida Kazuyoshi\nRecorded live at Theater Cocoon\, Shibuya\, Tokyo\, 2014 \n136 min.\nSubtitled in English \nFor trailer please click here: For synopsis and more background click here. \nEarly 19th-century Edo (the former name of Tokyo) had juvenile delinquents and outlaws everywhere. Urban culture was overripe. Three thieves happen to meet on a dark New Year’s night. They feel compassion for each other instantly and vow brotherhood. But they do not know that this encounter is only one milestone of their fate. Long before the three meet\, their lives have already been entangled. An intricate web of destiny eventually drives them to their deaths. Kankuro\, Shichinosuke\, and Matsuya are three of the most promising young Kabuki actors. This classic play is given new life by these young talents in an unconventional production by Kushida at a contemporary venue\, Theater Cocoon\, located in the Shibuya district of Tokyo\, known as the Street of Youth.

SUMMARY:Views of Vengeance: Hana
DESCRIPTION:in conjunction with Legendary Loyalty: The 47 Ronin in Japanese Prints\nHana\nDirected by Hirokazu Kore-eda\n2006\, 120 min\nJapanese with English subtitles \n[Reservations 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. Unfortunately\, we cannot guarantee a seat.] \nDespite being set in the same location and time period of the Ako incident\, Hana is a samurai revenge movie in which not much happens. If you’re expecting dramatic battle scenes and bloviating about honour\, you’ll definitely be disappointed. However\, if you approach it from the humanist perspective of master director’s Hirokazu Kore-eda’s best films\, you’ll find a neat slice of life in the Edo slums that tears down the machismo of the jidai-geki genre with spirited populism (and a surprising amount of toilet humour). \nIn Hana’s Edo\, unemployed peasants do a lot of hanging out\, entertaining themselves with games\, sparring and gossip. Their main “job” is producing manure\, which their landlord sells to farmers. Soza is an unemployed samurai looking to avenge his father’s death\, but he’s not highly motivated to do so. He’s basically a peaceful guy who enjoys taking baths\, playing with songbirds and teaching math and writing to the neighbourhood kids. Anyway\, everyone agrees that revenge is sort of “out of fashion.” In the absence of actual war\, there is an annual “vengeance play” put on by the villagers; meanwhile\, the legendary 47 ronin lurk in the background\, grumbling and biding their time…

SUMMARY:Japanese Movies at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema: Sue\, Mai and Sawa
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Osamu Minorikawa\n2013\, 106 minutes\, PG\nStarring  Ko Shibasaki\, Yôko Maki\, Shinobu Terajima\nComedy/drama\n\nSue\, Mai and Sawa documents the enduring friendship of three single women in their thirties as they confront the challenges\, indignities and rewards of work\, love and family.  Sue-chan is an inventive cook at a chic bistro who is struggling to adjust to a new leadership role. Mai-chan works in sales\, but spends a lot of time covering for her incompetent boss. And Sawa-san (a few years older\, hence the more formal honorific –san) is a freelance illustrator caring for her bedridden grandmother.  Beautifully filmed and superbly cast\, with a soft\, aspirational gloss that belies the harder truths at its core\, this is a sharply observant film that refuses to be dismissed as a simple chick flick. \nPresented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto \nCommunity partner: Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival \n \n  \n  \n  \n© 2012 “Sue\, Mai & Sawa” Production Committee\, 2013

SUMMARY:Legendary Loyalty: The 47 Ronin in Japanese Prints
DESCRIPTION:Legendary Loyalty\nThe 47 Ronin in Japanese Prints \nco-presented by Stuart Jackson Gallery and The Japan Foundation\nNovember 15\, 2016 – March 4\, 2017 \nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto\, with the Stuart Jackson Gallery\, Toronto\, is proud to co-present original 18th – 19th century woodblock print illustrations of theatrical performances of the story of Chushingura\, and artistic depictions of the actual ronin (masterless samurai). \nThree centuries ago\, a series of events culminating on the snowy night of the 14th day of the 12th month\, 1702 (January 30\, 1703\, in today’s calendar) would shake and alter Japan and the world’s perception of that country. \nThe story of the 47 ronin and their vendetta is one of the most popular Japanese stories of “legendary loyalty” and revenge. It all began in 1701 when Lord Asano of Ako attempted to kill Lord Kira\, a senior official at the Shogun’s palace. His motive is unknown – in theatrical versions it is because Kira has insulted Asano.  Kira was only wounded\, but as it was such a serious offence\, Asano’s execution was ordered and he committed seppuku (ritual suicide).  Asano’s properties were confiscated and his retainers became ronin. \nThese 47 ronin\, under the leadership of Oishi Kuranosuke\, planned revenge against Lord Kira.  A year later\, they attacked his mansion and engaged in a fierce battle against his retainers. The ronin captured and killed Kira\, laying his severed head in front of Lord Asano’s grave at Sengakuji Temple.  They surrendered to the authorities\, were condemned to death\, and were allowed to perform seppuku. Their graves are by their master’s. \nThe story immediately captivated the Japanese public at the time. Within days of the deaths of the ronin\, a kabuki play based on the story was performed. The play was closed down after three days because stories about current events were prohibited. Other plays based on the ronin’s story kept reappearing until 1748 when a fictionalized drama\, Kanadehon Chushingura\, was successfully performed at the puppet theatre and later at the kabuki. Chushingura as it is now better known\, has become one of the most popular kabuki plays ever written\, and is performed every December.  Enthusiasm for the 47 ronin saga has endured through the years and the story has reappeared countless times in theater\, film\, literature\, and television. \n*Japanese proper names are listed with the family name first\, given name second. \nGALLERY 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 \nSaturday openings: 11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nNovember 19\, December 3\, 17\nJanuary 7\, 21\, February 4\, 18\, March 4 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays\nClosed for Christmas and New Year: December 18 to January 3\nFebruary 20 (Family Day) \nADMISSION: FREE

SUMMARY:Silent Revue presents Dragnet Girl: Ozu's Tokyo Gangster Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Silent Revue in partnership with The Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nTICKETS \nBreak out your hip flask and bulletproof vest\, because the third installment of Silent Revue’s series “Deadly Dames” takes you to 1930s Tokyo\, with its underground syndicate of Yazuka and their armed and dangerous mob molls! With a rare chance to see a silent Japanese gangster flick from a master filmmaker\, we know you won’t want to miss this one. \nBefore he was universally acknowledged as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time\, Yasujirô Ozu was a Hollywood-obsessed director for Tokyo’s legendary Shochiku Studios. Producing silent films well into the 1930s (Japan converted to sound much later than the West)\, Ozu produced unique masterpieces that reflected the artistic sensibilities of his country. With DRAGNET GIRL\, however\, Ozu went full Hollywood\, evoking the best of Warner Brothers gangster epics like THE PUBLIC ENEMY\, LITTLE CAESAR\, and SCARFACE. Conflicted gangster Joji (Jôji Oka) seeks redemption in innocent shop girl Kazuko (Sumiko Mizokubo)\, the sister of one his hoodlums. Things don’t go his way when his jealous girlfriend\, the vampy\, complicated Tokiko—played by Japan’s greatest actress and December’s Deadly Dame Kinuyo Tanaka—utilizes her mob connections to seek revenge! \nWhile influenced by von Sternberg and Warner Brothers\, what Ozu achieves\, with the film’s brooding tone and film noir style\, is a uniquely his. We can’t wait to share this one with you! \nSilent Revue is sponsored by Hollywood Suite \nSilent Revue is curated by Alicia Fletcher \nLive accompaniment by Jordan Klapman \nSpecial Event Pricing $15\, Members $12
