Ignored by the critical establishment during his lifetime due to his single-minded obsession with ghosts and monsters\, Kyōka later came to be identified as one of Japan’s most important writers. While much has been written on the ghostly quality of Kyōka’s fiction\, almost nothing has been said of the appearance of ghosts in the artwork accompanying his literature\, which was among the most extensively illustrated fiction of its time. \nImages of ghosts adorn the boxes\, covers\, frontispieces\, and endpapers of IZUMI Kyōka’s books\, particularly those created by KOMURA Settai (1887–1940)\, a pioneer of modern design in Japan. Beyond simply visualizing scenes from Kyōka’s literature\, Settai’s illustrations elaborate on the illusory quality of Kyōka’s apparitions by utilizing the space and material of the book to create optical illusions and impossible perspectives. Settai’s book designs capture the central monster of Kyōka’s literary universe: A faceless\, wandering female spirit that draws on traditions of Japanese monsters such as the nopperabō\, a smiling demon without eyes or a nose\, and the tōrima\, an evil spirit that whispers of calamity as it wanders through dark city streets. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Pedro Bassoe will shine a light on the whispering spirits of Kyōka’s books. \nRegister below to receive a link to the live presentation prior to the start of the event. A Q+A session with the audience will commence immediately following the talk.  \n\nPedro Bassoe is Assistant Professor of Japanese at Purdue University in West Lafayette\, Indiana\, where he teaches classes on Japanese literature\, film\, visual culture\, and popular media. He has published one article on Art Nouveau book design in Japan and has a forthcoming article on photography and the formation of modern Japanese literature\, as well as a forthcoming chapter on transnational narratives by contemporary women writers. He is currently working on a book manuscript titled Enchanted Images: Illustration\, Book Design\, and Visuality in the Literature of Izumi Kyōka\, which explores the role of visual art and print media in the work of Japan’s foremost writer of ghost stories and fantastic literature in the early 20th century. \n  \n  \n\nImages: Ōkoshi Hisako and Saitama Kenritsu Kindai Bijutsukan.

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 MIZOGUCHI Naomi 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. \nIn celebration of International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples on August 9.    \n\n \nThe Fox of Shichigorosawa • 七五郎沢の狐 \nDirected by SUGIHARA Tune • 2015 • Animation • 14 min. • Presented in Ainu with English subtitles • Trailer \nHigashiyama\, the home of the foxes\, has become an illegal dumping ground. This results in the decrease of small animals\, which the mother fox relied on as prey to feed her children. The fox comes down from the mountains in search of food to feed her children\, and comes upon a human village. This story is told in the Ainu language. \nThe Fox of Shichigorosawa will play before the screening of Ainu: Indigenous People of Japan. \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:\nAinu Neno An Ainu • アイヌネノアンアイヌ \nA cinematic family photo album of a remote village in Hokkaido\, where the Ainu\, the indigenous population of northern Japan\, have kept their culture and language alive despite a history of Japanese colonization.

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. \n\n \n\n \nKuruwa Bunshō – Yoshidaya (Love Letters in Pleasure Quarters)\n(A rendezvous in pleasure quarter) \nKuruwa Bunshō – Yoshidaya\n廓文章 吉田屋 くるわ ぶんしょう よしだや \nNizaemon\, Tamasaburo 仁左衛門、玉三郎\nPremiered in 1793 as a puppet theatre play\nPremiered as a Kabuki play in 1808\nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, April 2009\n97 min.\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://youtu.be/r8-chzGpNJY\nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/kuruwa_bunsho.php \nThe role of Izaemon is performed in the style of wagoto\, one of Kabuki’s stock characters. Although these wagoto-type men are not powerful physically and financially\, Izaemon is such a charmer and the most popular one in the pleasure quarter\, who is sensitive\, childlike\, funny\, and handsome. After a long absence Izaemon tries to reconnect with his lover\, the courtesan Yūgiri\, for a rendezvous. She has been missing him so much that she is lovesick\, yet he accuses her of being unfaithful. This teasing is part of a flirtation\, and the emotional exchanges of the love scene unfold in choreographed movements to the sensuous accompaniment of two groups of music ensembles\, Gidayū and Tokiwazu. These idealized beautiful lovers\, like a fairy-tale prince and princess\, are performed by Kabuki’s golden couple Nizaemon and Tamasaburo.\n\n \n\n \nAkoya\n(a historical epic with Gidayū music accompaniment) \nDannoura Kabuto Gunki\n壇浦兜軍記 だんのうら かぶと ぐんき \nTamasaburo\, Kikunosuke\, Kanzaburo 玉三郎、菊之助、勘三郎\nPremiered in 1732 as a puppet theatre play\nWritten by Bunkōdō and Hasegawa Senshi\nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, October 2015\n93 min.\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjSwZYxL2bU\nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \nDefeated Samurai commander Kagekiyo vanishes and is searched for by the victorious Genji clan. Courtesan Akoya\, Kagekiyo’s lover\, is arrested and interrogated to learn the hideout of Kagekiyo. The interrogator confronts Akoya with an emotionally\, sophisticatedly elevated way of torture to pull out the truth from this dedicated lover; instead of violence or pain\, three music instruments are used to hear the clarity in tones as a reflection of the honesty of her mind. Actually playing three instruments onstage\, plus singing\, Tamasaburo realizes magnificently one of the most challenging Kabuki female roles.\n \n\n \nMurder in a Hell of Oil\n(a murder story) \nOnna Goroshi Abura no Jigoku\n女殺油地獄　おんなごろし あぶらの じごく \nKoshiro\, Ennosuke 幸四郎、猿之助\nPremiered as a Bunraku puppet play in 1721\nWritten by CHIKAMATSU Monzaemon\nPremiered as a Kabuki play in 1909\nRecorded live at Shochiku-za Theatre\, Osaka\, July 2018\n103 min.\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WP1hOZjwTU\nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/abura_no_jigoku.php \nIn Osaka\, the centre of commerce in 18th-century Japan\, Yohei is the prodigal son of an oil merchant who consumes the family fortune pursuing “pleasures of the night”.

Shot in the foothills of Iwate Prefecture’s mystical Mt. Hayachine\, the film records a year in the life of the area’s villages and villagers as they prepare for kagura performances\, a dance-theater form with origins in religious rituals (and now mainly performed for eager tourists). Fittingly\, the film’s true beauty comes not through its commentary on tradition and society\, but in its harmonization to the mountain’s own intricate rhythms. \n \n\n \nAbout HANEDA Sumiko\nBorn in 1926\, in Dalian\, China (then Manchuria\, under Japanese occupation)\, Haneda started her career with Iwanami Productions\, a company producing educational films\, where she would make her first films about the arts\, education\, and nature. In 1976 she directed her first independent film\, The Cherry Tree with Gray Blossoms\, a personal project she had worked on for many years. She made films about folkloric dances and changing rural traditions (Ode to Mt. Hayachine\, 1982)\, portraits of aging artists such as Akiko-Portrait of a Dancer (1985) or the monumental Kabuki Actor Kataoke Nizaimon (1992-1996). Haneda led a prolific career directing over 80 films and receiving widespread recognition for her work on welfare politics and caring for the elderly.

In 1976 she directed her first independent film\, The Cherry Tree with Gray Blossoms\, a personal project she had worked on for many years. She made films about folkloric dances and changing rural traditions (Ode to Mt. Hayachine\, 1982)\, portraits of aging artists such as Akiko-Portrait of a Dancer (1985) or the monumental Kabuki Actor Kataoke Nizaimon (1992-1996). Haneda led a prolific career directing over 80 films and receiving widespread recognition for her work on welfare politics and caring for the elderly. Later in her career\, Haneda reflected upon her early life in China with films about the Japanese settlers in Manchuria such as Faraway Home – Lushun and Dalian (2011).

Examples of materials are convenient websites used by the project members or self-made teaching materials. Something made specifically for this project is also welcome! We hope that this can be an opportunity for teachers to bring together useful resources they can use in their own classrooms. The final collection will also be shared on our website so it can be used by everyone. \nOn June 25 we will have a session to explain the outline of the project before we ask individuals to confirm their participation\, so please feel free to join us if you are interested. \nWe look forward to meeting teachers interested in joining our Maruguto Teaching Material Project! \nDate and Time: \n\nProject outline explanation\, project member decision\nDate: Saturday\, June 25th\, 2022         1:00pm – 2:30pm (Eastern time)\nPlease check here for the time in your area.\n*Participation as a project member is not mandatory\, so feel free to join us if you are interested.\nDocument collection presentation\nDate: Saturday\, August 6th\, 2022        1:00pm – 3:00pm (Eastern time)\n*End time is subject to change.\n\nAbout Marugoto: https://www.marugoto.org/about/ \nTarget learners: adults\, university students\, etc. \nCollected Resource Sample: \n\nIntermediate 1 Topic 1: https://bit.ly/3PrDzlt\nMarugoto Teaching Material Project Collection of Materials:\n\nhttps://tr.jpf.go.jp/language/resources/teacher/marugoto-materials-collection/ \nEligibility: For both 1. and 2. participation is restricted to Japanese-language teachers residing in Canada. \nJFT staff: Yuiko Goya\, Noriko Saito \nContact: Noriko Saito nsaito@jftor.org URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/marugotoproject220625/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Teachers’ Workshops ORGANIZER;CN="The Japan Foundation%2C Toronto":MAILTO:info_jftoronto@jpf.go.jp GEO:43.6710978;-79.386063 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20220615T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20220615T210000 DTSTAMP:20260914T131300 CREATED:20220511T181628Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220511T201015Z UID:75638-1655319600-1655326800@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:Online Network for Heritage Language Education 7 DESCRIPTION:第7回継承語オンラインネットワーク\nカナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）\n国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター \nカナダ各地で継承語としての日本語教育に関わっていらっしゃる先生方、保護者の方々は数多くいらっしゃいますが、それぞれの学校がかなり遠隔であるため、情報交換やネットワークが難しい状況です。また、地域によっては、少人数で学校を運営をせざるを得ない環境であったり、一から学校を作り上げていかなければならなかったり等と、経験のある方々との意見交換も困難です。そこで、各地で尽力されている方々が相談したり、他の事例を学べる機会となることを目指し、オンラインでのネットワークの会を行っています。 \nカナダ在住でご興味のある方はどなたでも参加可能です。参加ご希望の方は、http://jftor.org/event/keishogo7からお申し込みください。 \n日時：2022年6月15日（水）　午後7時～ 9時　（東部時間）　 \nお住まいの地域での時刻はこちらでご確認ください。 \n対象者：カナダ在住で、継承語としての日本語教育に関わっていらっしゃる先生方、関係者、保護者の方々 \nスケジュール： \n\nハリファックス補習授業校の学校紹介：ウィルクス玲子先生\n参加者による小グループでのディスカッション（以下の登録フォームにお悩みや話し合いたいテーマをお寄せください。）\n\n＊ご質問等ございましたら、担当者までご連絡願います。 \n担当： \n国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター　齋藤典子\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org         Web site: www.jftor.org \nカナダ日本語教育振興会　伊東義員\nE-mail: yoshikazuito@rogers.com           Web site: https://www.cajle.info/ \n  URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/keishogo7/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Teachers’ Workshops ORGANIZER;CN="The Japan Foundation%2C Toronto":MAILTO:info_jftoronto@jpf.go.jp GEO:43.6710978;-79.386063 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20220611T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20220611T160000 DTSTAMP:20260914T131300 CREATED:20220427T164823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220427T164823Z UID:75463-1654952400-1654963200@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:Online Study Session for Japanese Teachers (3): Approaching Grammar Questions from Intermediate Learners DESCRIPTION:JFTオンライン日本語教師のための勉強会\n第３回　中級学習者の「？(はてな)」にこたえる日本語文法\n初級レベルでは、空っぽの箱の中に小さな宝物を一つ一つ集めていくように新しい文法を学習していきますが、ある程度箱の中が混雑してくると、「これってどんな時に使うんだったっけ？」「これとこれはよく似てるけど何が違ってるんだろう」といったいろいろな疑問が湧いてきます。そんな学習者たちが教師に投げかける質問の中には、時としてなかなかうまく答えられないものが混じってはいませんか。そこで、本勉強会では、現役の先生方と一緒に文法書のページを繰りながら、学習者の「？」の答を見つけていきたいと思っています。 \nご参加をご希望の方はhttp://jftor.org/event/workshop220611/ よりお申込みください。 \n日時：2022年6月11日（土）1:00pm ～ 4:00pm（東部夏時間）　 \nトピック：評価のモダリティ：「あしたの３時に会ってもいいですか」？？ \n対象者：日本語教師で、以下に同意される方（先着15名まで） \n＊使用図書が購入可能な方 \n＊勉強会前に提出の事前課題、および勉強会当日のタスク（グループワークや発表等）にすべて参加できる方 \n＊カナダ在住で現在教えていらっしゃる方を優先します。 \n使用言語：日本語 \n使用図書：『現代日本語文法４ 第８部 モダリティ』くろしお出版（2003）★参加者各自要購入 \nhttps://www.9640.jp/book_view/?285　定価2800円＋税 \n第１回および第２回勉強会で使用したのと同じ書籍です。 \n事前課題：参加登録確認メールにてお送りいたします。 \n案内役：小室リー郁子（トロント大学） \nお問い合わせ先：齋藤典子　nsaito@jftor.org URL:https://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/workshop220611/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Teachers’ Workshops ORGANIZER;CN="The Japan Foundation%2C Toronto":MAILTO:info_jftoronto@jpf.go.jp GEO:43.6710978;-79.386063 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20220610T175900 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20220612T235900 DTSTAMP:20260914T131300 CREATED:20220602T153828Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241209T171938Z UID:76025-1654883940-1655078340@tr.jpf.go.jp SUMMARY:ANDO Momoko's "A Piece of Our Life -Kakera-" カケラ (Online Film Screening) DESCRIPTION:A Piece of Our Life -Kakera- • カケラ\nFriday\, June 10\, 5:59PM – Sunday\, June 12\, 11:59PM (ET)\nDirected by ANDO Momoko | 2009 | Drama / LGBTQ | 107 minutes | Japanese with English subtitles | Trailer\nOnline Film Screening (Canada only) | Admission Free | RSVP Required (register below to receive a viewing link on June 9) \nCollege student Haru (MITSUSHIMA Hikari) is stuck in an unfulfilling relationship with a boyfriend that’s just not right for her.
