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

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 \n  \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 \n

SUMMARY:Visualize & Awaken: A Talk by Kenya Hara
DESCRIPTION:Talk and slide presentation in conjunction with Designthinkers 2016 \nDesigner\, Kenya Hara (b.1958) emphasizes the design of both objects and experiences. \nIn 2000\, he produced the exhibition RE-DESIGN–Daily Products of the 21st Century\, which successfully presented the fact that the resources of astonishing design are found in the context of the very ordinary and casual. In 2002\, Hara became a member of MUJI’s advisory board and began acting as its art director. In 2004\, he planned and directed the exhibition HAPTIC – Awakening the Senses revealing to the audience that great resources of design are dormant in the human senses. Much of his work\, including the programs for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Nagano Winter Olympic Games and Expo 2005 is deeply rooted in Japanese culture. In 2007 and 2009\, he produced two exhibitions titled TOKYO FIBER — SENSEWARE in Paris\, Milan and Tokyo\, and from 2008 through 2009\, the exhibition JAPAN CAR in Paris and at the Science Museum in London. Hara’s focus in these kinds of exhibitions is on visualizing and widely disseminating the potentiality of industry. The radius of his activity has been expanding to the rest of Asia as well\, including the traveling exhibition DESIGNING DESIGN Kenya Hara 2011 China Exhibition that starts in Beijing in 2011. Several books authored by Hara\, including Designing Design and White\, have been translated into a number of languages\, including other Asian languages. \nPresident\, the Nippon Design Center Inc.\nProfessor at Musashino Art University\nPresident\, Japan Design Committee Co.\, Ltd.\nVice President\, Japan Graphic Designers Association Inc. \nPlease register below or by calling (416)966-1600 x103. \nFor more information about Japan Foundation\, Toronto event reservation and admittance policies please have a look at our Event FAQ page.

SUMMARY:Takashi Hiraide Author's Talk: The life of a book....somewhere between the Cat and the Walnut.
DESCRIPTION:Takashi Hiraide\, celebrated author and book designer\, will discuss his literary and artistic practice in relation to his published works and ongoing mail art experiment.  Hiraide contemplates the life of what we consider to be a “book” and its origins in the form of diaries and letters. Hiraide is involved in the complete process of bringing a book to life\, including the book-binding\, design and in some cases\, even the shipping to an individual reader\, as exhibited within “Takashi Hiraide —- Airpost Poetry Book Design for One from One.” His modern art influences and book design will be explored in relation to the current exhibition. The interplay of different literary forms and genres is a constant throughout Hiraide’s body of work. This will be discussed by exploring the principles of the Japanese “I novel” (a genre of confessional\, fictionalized memoir)\, Dada and Surrealism found in The Guest Cat\, and how poetics\, autobiography and playful linguistics merge in For the Fighting Spirit of the Walnut. \nTo register\, please contact rsvp@jftor.org including your full name\, phone number and total number of guests. You will receive a confirmation email. Thank you!

SUMMARY:TAKASHI HIRAIDE----AIRPOST POETRY
DESCRIPTION:TAKASHI HIRAIDE—-AIRPOST POETRY\nBOOK DESIGN FOR ONE FROM ONE \nOctober 4 – November 5\, 2016\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto \n《TH_AIRPOST》is  an “Aerial Post Office” utilized by the Minimum Press which was created by Hiraide in relationship with the postal system. The author writes\, creates the layout\, prints\, formats and does the bookbinding by himself. The literary work that is created in this way is accessed through an intermediary post office located on the web and ultimately delivered to the individual mailboxes of readers worldwide. \nThere is a “Book” that is both a letter and an objet d’art or a “Poem” that is both a postcard and a greeting\, and these create a unique one-to-one relationship\, a bridge between the reader and the author. In the same way that various life forms exist in relationship with the environment while adapting their forms to others\, the creation of the singular experience of the book unfolds. \nThe《AIRPOST POETRY》exhibit is the first time that an overview of this experiment 《FOR ONE FROM ONE》has been presented. \n\nTakashi Hiraide is a poet\, critic and book designer. He has published books of various genres and forms from poetry to prose and from poetics of sports to criticism on arts\, receiving numerous prizes. Kenzaburo Oe\, Nobel Prize-winning novelist\, highly praised Hiraide’s writings for providing a new direction for prose within the field of poetry. His first novel\, The Guest Cat\, became a New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller in 2014. \n

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: The Stormy Man
DESCRIPTION:The Stormy Man\nUmetsugu Inoue/1957/101 min/colour/PG\n Starring: Yujiro Ishihara\, Kyoji Aoyama\, Fukuko Sayo\, Mie Kitahara\, Masumi Okada \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario \nYujiro Ishihara\, the biggest male film and singing star in postwar Japan\, plays a rough drummer given his big break by female talent manager Mie Kitahara. A series of love triangles set within the Tokyo music scene plays out in moody Eastmancolor\, but this film is less noir than male melodrama: the central problem is neither corruption nor romance but the lack of a mother’s love. Yujiro is both lover and fighter\, performing self-assertion and sexual prowess for male and female audiences in conformist Japan. Directed by Umetsugu Inoue\, one of the major directors of postwar musicals\, who even inserted song and dance performances into his action films.\n-Michael Raine \n© 1957 NIKKATSU Corporation\nRegistration:\n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: Oh! Bomb
DESCRIPTION:Oh! Bomb\nKihachi Okamoto/1964/95 min./b&w/35mm/PG\n Starring: Yunosuke Ito\, Hiroshi Hasegawa\, Kazuo Suzuki\, Ichiro Arishima\, Chotaro Togin \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario \nToho new wave director Kihachi Okamoto tests the limits of the musical comedy in this experimental “rhythm film” that incorporates Japanese forms of “musical” performance such as naniwabushi and Buddhist chant\, as well as direct references toWest Side Story. The zany revenge plot follows the great Japanese character actor Yunosuke Ito as an old-school yakuza replaced by his former underling. There’s also a chauffeur with dreams of the big time and a sidekick who just loves dynamite\, but what ties everything together is a musicality that extends to the editing rhythm of the film itself. Oh\, Bomb! was given a roadshow presentation in 1964\, in a double bill with Hiroshi Teshigahara’s Woman in the Dunes.\n-Michael Raine\n \n©1964 Toho Co.\, Ltd.\nRegistration:\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: Memories of Matsuko
DESCRIPTION:Memories of Matsuko\nTetsuya Nakashima/2006/130 min./colour/35mm/R\n Starring: Miki Nakatani\, Eita\, Yusuke Iseya\, Teruyuki Kagawa\, Mikako Ichikawa \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario. \nA darkly hilarious film about family—the desire for recognition and the pain of its refusal. Cute digital effects and gaudy musical numbers belie a story of abuse that has much in common with Kenji Mizoguchi’s Life of Oharu. Matsuko (Miki Nakatani of the Ring franchise) is found beaten to death in poor suburb of Tokyo. Alienated from her family\, her life is dismissed as meaningless until her loser nephew\, tasked with cleaning up her apartment\, starts to piece it together. The musical interludes transform everyday exploitation into an ironic utopia that only accentuates the overwhelming emotional suffering of the rest of the film.\n-Michael Raine \n© 2006 “Memories of Matsuko” Production Committee\nRegistration:\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Summer Doc Series: Ubusuna
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Mile Nagaoka\, 2013\, 120”\nThursday\, August 4: 6:30 pm EVENT HALL\nMonday\, August 8: 6:30 pm EVENT HALL \nThe ancient Japanese term ubusuna refers to a place and the gods that protect it. Once it was believed that ubusuna protected the people of a place\, from a time before they were born until long after they had died. While most people living in the cities have long forgotten about ubusuna\, could it be possible to unearth traces of it in contemporary Japan? Director Mile Nagaoka and six film-makers from around the world set off on a film-making caravan\, from Yamagata in the north to Okinawa in the south. As they walk\, watch and listen to the stories they find at each place\, they search for clues to the ubusuna that is Japan in the 21st century. \nPlease note that food and drink (water excepted) are not allowed at this event.
