SUMMARY:KYOGEN Performance
DESCRIPTION:***Due to popular demand\, we are no longer accepting reservations for this performance***\nA Commemorative Event for the 90th Anniversary of Canada-Japan Diplomatic Relations: \nKyogen Performance\nCo-presented by the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto. \n  \n \nWHAT IS KYOGEN? An Introduction to Nohgaku Excerpted from the National Noh Theatre of Japan\, Japan Arts Council Website \nNoh and Kyogen are Japanese traditional performing arts that have a long history. They are performed on the same stage and are collectively referred to as “Nohgaku.” The two are staged frequently even now and continue to awe and inspire us. Noh and Kyogen have had various influences on Bunraku and Kabuki as well as opera and contemporary theatre. \nKyogen: Spoken comedy revolving around conversations \nKyogen is a theatrical performance in which the story unfolds through human conversations. It draws on the daily events of the period in which the plays are set\, with many of the characters being archetypal characters one would find anywhere. Based on satire and comedy\, Kyogen amusingly depicts strong-willed ordinary people by typifying characters and exaggerating their gestures. Its repertoire is diverse\, and may include music and dance.

SUMMARY:FANS ONSTAGE
DESCRIPTION:FANS ONSTAGE\nHandheld Splendours of the Japanese Traditional Performing Arts\n \nAn exhibition presented by The Japan Foundation\nin conjunction with Cinema Kabuki 2019 Toronto\nSpecial thanks to Tomatsuya-Fukui in Kyoto and Bunsendō in Asakusa\, Tokyo\n  \nOctober 17\, 2019 – January 11\, 2020 \nADMISSION: FREE \n\nJapan’s association with fans can be traced back to the Nara period (8th century) with the cypress fans made of wooden hinged strips\, followed by the invention of paper folded fans in the Heian period (9th century).  As early as the late 10th century the paper folded fans\, which differed from flat unfoldable fans\, were exported from Japan to the Korean peninsula and China as luxury imports.  In the West\, in ancient Egypt and Greece\, there were records of folded fans\, but the tradition of using fans died out during the Middle Ages.  Whereas in the East the new technique of making fans – the application of paper on both sides of the fan ribs – was brought from China to Japan at the beginning of the Muromachi period (early 14th century).  This new method of manufacture revolutionized the production and export of fans.  Through Portuguese and Dutch traders folding fans were spread out from Japan to the global market and other cultures. \nPaper folded fans have been widely used in people’s daily lives in Japan\, but also in the ceremonies of religions and politics\, and particularly most effectively in the performing arts. \nNoh theatre\, which originated in the 15th century\, uses fans in the same symbolic way as its masks.  Noh actors are aiming on stage for some kind of unification of their souls with the spiritual being they find in the masks and fans.  Therefore\, the treatment of the objects is as rigid as the actors’ own bodies in order to achieve internal energy flow.  The faces are covered by masks and the hands are often invisible\, covered by the costume.  One can see the fans as the replacement of hands\, but the performers keep their wrists immobile to create concentrated\, abstract movements.  On the contrary\, in Kabuki theatre – founded in the early 17th century – the actors’ wrists and arms are freely moving their fans.  In Kabuki\, the external effects are established by fans\, reflecting commoners’ aesthetics.  This is the opposite of the Noh theatre aesthetic which reflects Samurai warriors’ philosophy.  In Kabuki dance\, performers turn their fans from front to back quickly\, or create swaying waves\, maneuvering their fans with their arms and wrists.  They even toss fans into the air and catch them. \nThe difference of the internal versus external use of fans in Noh and Kabuki is physically evident in the proportion of the fans.  Noh theatre fans have a silhouette almost like an upside-down equilateral triangle\, whereas Kabuki fans are wider horizontally.  In spite of these physical differences\, one thing is common: they are all beautifully handcrafted.  In both Noh and Kabuki\, fans are far beyond decoration or props.  They are the handheld splendours which can conjure universal imagery in the theatrical experience. \n  \nOctober 17\, 2019 – January 11\, 2020 \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 \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nOctober 19\, November 2\, 16\, 30\, December 14\, 2019\, January 11\, 2020 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays\, November 11 (Remembrance Day) \nChristmas & New Year’s closing: December 21\, 2019 – January 5\, 2020

SUMMARY:Post-3.11 Auditory Cultures: Sonic Responses to Life After Loss
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores sound-based cultural productions made by those affected by the disasters that occurred and began in March 2011—the earthquake\, tsunami\, and radiation release. These include a sound artist signaling radiation uncertainties and political geographies in an art installation; a phone booth built to allow users to communicate with their deceased loved ones; a musician who samples voices and soundscapes from her lost hometown; a Fukushima University professor conducting an ongoing soundscape archive. The productions gesture at ongoing social issues in subtle ways afforded by sound and recording. In other words\, they force us to ask: how to listen to radiation that never sounds\, to hear a house that is not there\, to attend closely to voices unsure of what to say? \nJosh Trichilo is a PhD candidate in the Humanities department at York University\, Toronto\, and was a 2018-2019 Japan Foundation Fellow. Josh’s work focuses on sound\, auditory culture\, media\, and trauma. Informed by both the fellowship and his experiences as a JET participant in Fukushima from 2011-2014\, he studies soundscape archiving\, sound art\, and experimental music among those affected by the 2011 Tōhoku triple disaster. \n

SUMMARY:NITABOH: The Founder of Tsugaru Shamisen
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the upcoming concert featuring Tsugaru shamisen and Piano duo AGA-SHIO on August 23\, 2019 \nSPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFER! > For a limited time\, AGA-SHIO concert tickets can be purchased in person at JFT for $22.00 (cash only) before and after the NITABOH film screenings on August 7 + 8. Regular online ticket price is $29.50. \nNITABOH: The Founder of Tsugaru Shamisen\nAugust 7\, 2019\, 6:30 PM & August 8\, 2019\, 2:00 PM\n@JFT\, admission free\, RSVP below \nDirected by Akio Nishizawa (2004) 99 minutes\, Japanese with English subtitles \nThis feature is the animated biography of Nitaro Akimoto\, the blind musician who founded the Tsugaru style of playing the shamisen\, three-string guitar. The shamisen you hear in the film is performed by Hiromitsu Agatsuma of AGA-SHIO. It is an excellent chance to hear his playing\, which conveys a feeling close to the spirit of the original pioneer Nitaboh. \nSee Hiromitsu Agatsuma LIVE at the AGA-SHIO concert!  concert details here > \nMore About Hiromitsu Agatsuma’s techniques revealed on the screen; \nThe process to create an animation whose movements match the sound of the shamisen\, the key element of “NITABOH\,” was not easy\, either. The skilled shamisen player Hiromitsu Agatsuma covered Nitaro’s shamisen performance in the move. In contrast to traditional animations\, we tried to show the subtle movements of the plectrum and fingers pressed on the three strings. The music scenes from “NITABOH” were created to exactly match the shamisen music used in the movie. \nFirst we shot the real shamisen performance and recorded it on videotape. Watching the videotape\, we created the timesheets that comprised a considerable numbers of frames (24 frames per second). Based on the videotape and the timesheets\, the animators drew the animation – the movement of the shamisen and its player. At one point the plectrum hits the strings nine times in one second; in order to animate the scene\, we need to allocate quite a few animation cells to just one frame. An ordinary theatrical animation movie requires only one cell per two to three frames. Meanwhile\, every shamisen scene in “NITABOH” incorporated many cells per one frame. We all appreciate the painstaking effort of the production staff who kept close check-ups at each scene.

SUMMARY:Ceramic Design For Sake Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Ceramic Design For Sake Exhibition\nDisplay of the contemporary\, industrial design for Japanese rice wine Sake. Through the craftsmanship and original creativity imbedded in those design products the exhibition examine Japanese tradition and aesthetic sensitivity. \n  \n日本酒のための陶磁器デザイン展 \n日本酒のために制作された現代のデザイン作品を、陶磁器に特定して展示し、 \nデザインに込められた創意や配慮を通じて、日本人の美意識を探求する。 \n \n  \nAugust 7 – October 9\, 2019 \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 \n  \nThe 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  \nADMISSION: FREE \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nAugust 10\, 24\, September 7\, 21\, October 5 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nSeptember 2 (Labour Day) \n  \nCeramic Design for Sake\n \nSake\, often referred to as Japanese rice wine\, is the national beverage of Japan.  Mythological documents call Japan by the name Mizuho-no-kuni or Land of Abundant Rice Fields\, and the rice was gifted to the nation by the sun goddess Amaterasu from her divine rice paddies in heaven.  In Shinto ceremonies sake has been one of the most sacred offerings to the gods alongside rice. \n  \nPeople in the Land of Abundant Rice Fields developed their rich tradition in serving sake\, devising various sets of cups and servers.  When sake is served hot\, Tokkuri\, a bulbous flask with a narrow neck\, is used in order to prevent the heat from escaping.  For room-temperature serving\, Katakuchi\, spouted vessels\, are also used. \n  \nThe cups used for drinking sake are generally small because of the relatively higher percentage of alcohol by volume\, 18-20 %\, and the customary appreciation method of taking little sips.  Choko is a cylindrical vessel which can comfortably rest between index finger and thumb.  On casual occasions the Guinomi without Kōdai foot can work as a shot glass.  For ceremonial use\, the serving vessel would be the flatter\, wide-mouthed Sakazuki. \n  \nThe Land of Abundant Rice Fields also has a long successful history as The Land of Ceramics dating back even to the prehistoric era.  Current ceramic industry centres across Japan all have a history of over 300 years.  Receptacles for sake serving can be crafted out of wood\, lacquered wood\, glass or plastic\, but the ceramic industry provided the vast majority of the tools for appreciation of the national beverage. \n  \nThe production of sake in Japan has been declining since the mid-1970s\, competing in the market against beer\, wine\, and spirits.  However\, the quality of the products\, thanks to new brewing technology\, surpassed the past standard.  Sake is appreciated not only in Japan\, but worldwide.  In this new environment and conditions\, the contemporary ceramic industry in Japan expressed their creativity in their product design. \n  \nIn this exhibition\, over 130 pieces from local studios in the ceramic centres of Aichi\, Gifu\, Nagasaki\, and Saga are on display.  These are industrial products from studios or factories\, not from artisans’ private studios.  The exhibits are mass-produced\, but not necessarily machine-made\, in fact most are handcrafted.  The goal of these new designs must be contemporary and global: a deeper\, more sophisticated appreciation of sake in ordinary lives by a wider range of people\, including those overseas.
