SUMMARY:Embers 最後の命 (Online Film Screening)
DESCRIPTION:Embers 最後の命\nFriday\, June 3\, 5:59PM – Sunday\, June 5\, 11:59PM (ET)\nDirected by MATSUMOTO Jumpei | 2014 | 110 minutes | Japanese with English subtitles\nOnline Film Screening (Canada only) | Admission Free | RSVP Required (register below to receive a viewing link on June 2)\n*Please note this film will be capped at 650 registrants \nContent warning: This film contains depictions of murder and sexual assault. Rated 15+ in Japan. \nAdapted from the Akutagawa Prize-winning novel of the same name from renowned Japanese crime author NAKAMUMRA Fuminori\, Embers 最後の命 is a suspense-filled portrayal of two childhood friends burdened by a tragic childhood memory and the murder that prompts them to confront their pasts. \nAs children\, Keito (YAGIRA Yuya) and Saeki (YANO Masato) witnessed a brutal assault. Saeki asks to meet up with Keito\, who has grown up struggling with his memory of the incident. However\, on the evening of their meeting\, Keito finds that a familiar call girl has been killed in his room… \n \n\nSunday\, June 5\, 12:30 PM – Wednesday\, June 8\, 11:59 PM (ET) | Register Here \nTune in for an exclusive interview with novelist NAKAMURA Fuminori as part of the Toronto International Festival of Author’s inaugural MOTIVE Crime & Mystery Festival. \nWhat motivates a killer? Is everyone capable of a crime as heinous as murder? Award-winning Japanese author Fuminori Nakamura’s latest book\, My Annihilation (translated by Sam Bett)\, gets to the crux of these queries in a deeply revealing and disturbingly honest examination of the psychological motives of a killer. Nakamura’s creative\, puzzling narrative style makes it nearly impossible to discern what is truth and what is fabrication\, until the very end. Trust no one when reading – not even yourself. Join a master of literary noir in this fascinating look into the darkest corners of human consciousness. This virtual event will be presented in Japanese with English captions.

SUMMARY:The Superlative Artistry of Japan
DESCRIPTION:Vermilion tomon-ra fabric by KITAMURA Takeshi \nThis exhibition captures Japan’s creative culture and Monozukuri spirit – the passion and devotion in producing things – through the theme of Chōzetsu-Gikō\, superlative artistry\, which refers to the exceptional methods and techniques used. \nThe Superlative Artistry of Japan exhibition presents a cohesive collection of works and materials from various genres that place great emphasis on highly skilled techniques which incorporate ingenious expressions and concepts. An extremely high level of technical perfection takes viewers by surprise. Elaborate kōgei craft works from the Meiji era (1868–1912) are introduced as a starting point\, looking back at their star status in the expositions of 19th- century Europe. Meiji kōgei pieces were one of the first international impacts of Japan\, which initiated the Japonism trend. \nThe following main body of this exhibition consists of numerous contemporary works of superlative artistry\, embracing pop-culture products\, such as capsule toy figures and food samples\, that illustrate a strong commitment to craftsmanship. \nThrough this exhibition we intend to introduce the outstanding techniques of each work as well as the worlds of expression that serve to even surpass such skill and finesse. It is hoped that viewers will be able to appreciate this specific part of Japan’s creative culture that honors craftsmanship and has constantly shown a thorough sense of meticulousness and devotion towards production processes. \n\nAdmission: FREE \nGallery Hours: Hourly timeslots starting at 11:30 AM\, 12:30 PM\, 1:30PM\, 2:30 PM\, and 3:30 PM \nDue to COVID-19 precautions\, we are limiting visitation to 5 hourly timeslots per day. In order to maintain social distancing\, we are limiting the number of visitors to 10 in each timeslot.  \n\n\n\nMonday\nCLOSED\n \n\n\nTuesday\nOPEN\n \n\n\nWednesday\nCLOSED\n \n\n\nThursday\nOPEN\n \n\n\nFriday\nCLOSED\n \n\n\nSaturday\nOPEN\n*select dates only: August 6\, 20\, 27\n\n\nSunday\nCLOSED\n \n\n\n\nPlease wear facial coverings at all times while you are on the premises. Hand sanitizers will be available for your convenience. Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated. \n\nThe exhibition features 37 items and groups in a wide range of genres and eras: \nMeiji Era Kōgei (enamel\, Satsuma ceramic\, lacquerware\, Jizai metalwork\, embroidery)\nDiorama by ARAKI Satoshi\nObjects by FUKAHORI Riusuke\nPhotography by HONJŌ Naoki\nInstallation by IWASAKI Takahiro\nWoven works: KITAMURA Takeshi\nSolo dance in digital environment by UMEDA hiroaki\nPaintings by YAMAGUCHI Akira\nCeramics YAMAMOTO Ichiyō\nFigures produced by Kaiyōdō\n3D objects by MISHIMA Kimiyo\nPaintings by NISHIWAKI Naoki\nInstallation by SUZUKI Yasuhiro\nFood Samples and Shokugan (small toys sold with candy)\n \n  \nThis exhibition is produced by the Japan Foundation.\nExhibition Supervisor: YAMASHITA Yūji.

SUMMARY:Parallel Worlds: Translating for Young Minds
DESCRIPTION:Registration period is now over.\nPlease Click Here to Watch a Recording of the Talk \n\n\nParallel Worlds: Translators Behind the Scenes\nOn the other side of every book in translation is a translator connecting the two different cultures\, bringing not only the words of that parallel world into English\, but also its thoughts\, values\, and viewpoints. In this series of discussions\, we talk to translators of literary fiction\, manga\, genre fiction\, and children’s literature to tease out the challenges and thrills of bringing a wide variety of Japanese works to English readers. \n\nParallel Worlds: Translating for Young Minds\nInterview with translators Avery Fischer Udagawa and Cathy Hirano\, moderated by Jeff Chiba Stearns \nDate: Thursday\, March 3\, 2022\nTime: 8:00 PM (ET)\nVenue: Online \nJoin us for a behind-the-scenes conversation with veterans of Japanese and Canadian children’s/YA literature. Animator and author Jeff Chiba Stearns (Yellow Sticky Notes\, On Being Yukiko) sits down with Avery Fischer Udagawa (Temple Alley Summer) and Cathy Hirano (The Beast Player) to discuss the specific challenges of localizing Japanese culture and language for a younger\, English-speaking readership. How do translators approach differing cultural taboos? What assumptions must be made about the reader’s prior knowledge or lack thereof? If illustrations are present\, how do translators corroborate the text with the visual narrative? Come find out the answers to these questions – and more – in this last of our Parallel Worlds series. \nAvery Fischer Udagawa and Cathy Hirano’s translated works are now available to borrow from JFT’s OverDrive Library! Borrow these great reads anywhere from Canada as long as you have a JFT library card (apply online today!).  \n  \n\nAbout Avery Fischer Udagawa \nAvery Fischer Udagawa’s translations of children’s literature from Japanese include the 2022 Mildred L. Batchelder Award-winning novel Temple Alley Summer by Sachiko Kashiwaba\, illustrated by Miho Satake\, and the historical novel J-Boys: Kazuo’s World\, Tokyo\, 1965 by Shogo Oketani. Her short story translations have appeared in Kyoto Journal\, Words Without Borders\, Tomo: Friendship Through Fiction—An Anthology of Japan Teen Stories\, The Best Asian Short Stories 2018\, and A Tapestry of Colours 1: Stories from Asia. Born in Kansas\, she lives near Bangkok. \n  \n\nAbout Cathy Hirano (Picture by Skye Hohmann) \nBorn in Canada\, Cathy Hirano moved to Japan in 1978 and graduated from university in Tokyo in 1983 with a BA in cultural anthropology. She has been translating professionally since 1984. Her translations of Japanese YA fiction and fantasy have won several awards\, including Mildred L.

SUMMARY:Online Workshop for Teachers 8: Let's Create Can-do's and Apply Them to Lessons
DESCRIPTION:国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター\nオンライン日本語教師研修8\n教科書の文型からCan-doを作って、授業を考えよう\n「行動中心アプローチ」や『まるごと』『いろどり』などの教材への注目が高まっていると感じられる一方で、カナダでは文型積み上げ式の『GENKI』を使っている学校も多く、Can-doをどのように活かせるのかがわかりにくいとの意見や、研修テーマとしてCan-doの使い方とのご要望がありました。 \nそこで、本研修では、文型を中心とした教科書の一つの課を取り上げ、トピックと現実場面で考えられる課題遂行からCan-doを作成し、そのCan-doをもとに授業を考えるグループワークを行います。その活動を通して、Can-do活用への理解を深め、自身の授業の中でどのように課題遂行から授業をデザインできるかを考えます。 \nご参加をご希望の方は本ページ下段よりお申込みください。 \n日時：2022年2月8日（火）、2月22日（火）\n6:00pm ～ 7:30pm（山岳部標準時）　8:00pm ～ 9:30pm（東部標準時）\n申込締切：2022年2月3日（木） \n対象者：カナダ在住の日本語教師で、以下に同意される方（先着20名まで） \n※2回とも受講できる人（同じペア・グループで連続して活動するため）\n※事前、事後課題ができる人（ペア・グループで時間外の課題あり）\n※ペアワーク、グループワーク中はカメラオンで参加できる人（聴講不可）\n※作業があるため、PCで参加できる人。（スマホ、タブレットでの参加は不可） \n使用言語：日本語 \n研修スケジュール：内容は変更になる場合がございますので、予めご了承ください。 \n1回目：事前アンケート結果共有、教科書のCan-doを作成・分析（グループワーク）\n2回目：グループ発表ととディスカッション、振り返り \n講師：吉川　景子（国際交流基金派遣日本語上級専門家、アルバータ州教育省日本語教育アドバイザー） \nお問い合わせ先：齋藤典子　nsaito@jftor.org \n\nJFT Online Workshop for Japanese Language Teachers 8\nLet’s Create Can-do’s and Apply Them to Lessons\nWhile it is felt that there is a growing interest in the “Action-Centered Approach” and teaching materials such as “Marugoto” and “Irodori”\, there are many schools in Canada that use “GENKI”\, which relies on a sentence building system. \nIn this training\, participants will take up a lesson from a textbook that focuses on sentence patterns\, create Can-do’s based on the topic and tasks accomplished that can be considered in a real-life situation\, and work with group members to think about the lesson based on the Can-do’s. Through this activity\, participants will deepen their understanding of the use of Can-do’s and think about how they can design their own classes based on task accomplishments. \nIf you are interested\, please register using the form below. \nDate and Time: Tuesdays\, February 8th and 22nd\, 2022 \n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm (MST)                          8:00 pm – 9:30 pm (EST)               \nApplication Deadline: Thursday\, February 3\, 2022 \nTarget participants: Japanese teachers living in Canada (maximum 20 participants) who meet the following requirements: \n* able to attend both zoom sessions (because the same pair or group will continue to work together)\n* able to complete pre- and post-tasks (need to work in pairs or with the group before or after the zoom sessions)\n* able to participate with a camera on (just observing\, or listening only with the camera off is not permitted)\n* able to participate using a desktop/laptop (smartphones/tablets are not permitted) \nLanguage: Japanese \nWorkshop Agenda: Please note that the contents are subject to change \n1st session: Sharing the results of the registration questionnaire\, group work of making and analysing Can-do’s\n2nd session: Sharing Can-do’s and the lesson plans\, discussion\, overall review \nInstructor: Keiko Yoshikawa\, Japanese-Language Education Advisor\, Alberta Education (sponsored by the Japan Foundation) \nFor inquiries: Noriko Saito  nsaito@jftor.org
