SUMMARY:Hot Docs 2017: Made In Japan
DESCRIPTION:Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival\nMADE IN JAPAN\nThe Hot Docs 2017 Festival will showcase recent works from Japan in its Made In Japan program with six feature films.\n“Japan is a country that continues to fascinate the world\, and we’re excited to showcase new Japanese documentaries at Hot Docs this year\,” said Hot Docs director of programming Shane Smith. “An emerging movement of young\, independent filmmakers are bringing their passion and perspective to stories from their homeland\, with an eye to reaching global audiences. And Japan’s master filmmakers continue to set a high standard for non-fiction storytelling.”\nTogether with the six films\, there are two others that are Japanese productions and co-productions. This years lineup also includes the following three Japanese shorts and three films shot in Japan and produced by other countries: A Friendship in TOW/TOE\, Dish\, Sit\, The Departure\, Tokyo Idols and Shiners. These can be found in the programs Magnificent Obsessions\, Special Presentations\, Canadian Spectrum and Focus on Maya Gallus.\nMade In Japan Programming here >\nFestival Screening Schedule here >   Schedule PDF >\nTickets here >   Venues here >\nFREE Daytime Screenings > Seniors (60+) & students with valid ID can take advantage of free admission to films that start before 5:00 pm. Pick up your tickets at the screening venue’s box office the day of the screening\, subject to availability.\n  \nUkiyo-e Heroes\n\n\n96 MINUTES | 2016 | USA JAPAN | ENGLISH JAPANESE (SUBTITLES) | WORLD PREMIERE | RATING: PG\n\n\nCanadian craftsman David Bull and American designer Jed Henry work together\, despite being separated by an ocean and a generation gap\, to reinvigorate the ancient art of Japanese woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e. With fewer than 10 ukiyo-e artists left in Japan\, the threat to this world-renowned\, centuries-old tradition is real. David is a self-taught ukiyo-e artisan who learned the technique on his own\, without apprenticeship to a master. So when young Jed approaches him to collaborate\, he can hardly say no. Combining old-school craft\, new-school design and contemporary pop culture references from Super Mario to Pokémon\, the outsiders revive the art form known worldwide as the Face of Japan. Ukiyo-e Heroes is an addictive process-driven documentary that preserves hundreds of years of mastery by showing the creation of a woodblock print from start to finish\, and features iconic Japanese artists and grand masters whose tools and materials support the work. Angie Driscoll \nRamen Heads\n\n\n93 MINUTES | 2016 | JAPAN | JAPANESE (SUBTITLES) | WORLD PREMIERE | RATING: G\n\n\nConsidered an edible embrace\, comforting ephemera and an art form by master chefs and legions of fans\, ramen—the perfectly slurpable combination of broth and noodles—inspires umami poetry. Japan’s reigning king of ramen\, Osamu Tomita\, takes us into his kitchen\, where he shares recipes\, trade secrets and flavour philosophies. A mouthwatering survey of culinary history\, famous restaurants and specialty ingredients\, Ramen Heads makes a compelling case for finding Japan’s heart through its stomach. Chef Tomita takes the viewer on a tasting tour that includes visits to his favourite shops (some are even kept anonymous for fear of discovery)\, long waits in even longer lines and behind-the-scenes access to his restaurant’s 10th anniversary. Together with two other ramen masters\, he creates a once-in-a-lifetime batch of ramen he hopes will inspire the next generation. For this event\, foodies wait overnight for limited meal tickets. Ramen is a rock star. Angie Driscoll \nA Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light\n\n\n87 MINUTES | 2015 | JAPAN | JAPANESE (SUBTITLES) | CANADIAN PREMIERE | RATING: G\n\n\nShrouded in mystery\, artist Rei Naito refuses to appear on-screen. After two years of correspondence\, filmmaker Yuko Nakamura must find creative ways to reveal the elusive creator and the invisible-made-visible essence of her creations. A dynamic portrait that puts the fragile work in focus materializes. With space to breathe\, the sculptures and installations remind us of the faint presence of things that remain unseen unless we make the effort to see them. Surprising use of an intergenerational cast of women\, interactive voiceover\, text and segues allow the viewer to enter and fully experience the pieces. A Room of Her Own: Rei Naito and Light is like a deep prayer\, one that connects audience\, artwork and artist in intangible ways\, encouraging us to feel one another despite the taboo of that intrusion\, and to fully awaken to the existence of others. Angie Driscoll \n\nAbout My Liberty\n\n\n165 MINUTES | 2016 | JAPAN | JAPANESE (SUBTITLES) | INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE | RATING: G\n\n\nA group of millennials mobilize against Prime Minister Abe after he passes a security bill erasing 70 years of pacifism by permitting the use of Japanese military in foreign wars. Forming the Students Emergency Action for Liberal Democracy and protesting with a style and scope Japan has never seen—noisy\, well-marketed\, fun—the younger generation makes itself heard in ways that rattle the old guard. Cell phone speeches\, colourful brochures\, catchy English slogans and cute t-shirts are all extensions of the cause\, and proof you can care about shopping and still protest for peace\, wear crop tops and still be political\, demand the president’s resignation and still manage the media with savvy. The future seems to belong to this youthquake. As the demonstrations grow to include all generations\, a nation determined to make peace a societal value and founding principle emerges loud and clear. Angie Driscoll \nRaise Your Arms and Twist\, Documentary of NMB48\n\n\n 95 MINUTES | 2016 | JAPAN | JAPANESE (SUBTITLES) | TORONTO PREMIERE | RATING: G\n\n\nOsaka supergroup NMB48 and its revolving lineup of singing and dancing dervishes in baby doll dresses offers a backstage pass into Japan’s pop idol craze. A fascinating immersion into pecking order\, competition\, individuality and independence\, Raise Your Arms and Twist takes a philosophical approach to the highly choreographed entertainment. Using quotes from Nietzsche and the performers’ thoughtful perspectives\, a bigger picture of empowerment through adulation emerges. The female performers are active producers of culture and celebrity while their male fans are passive consumers. Fame\, capitalism and human psychology collide in this pretty package that’s so much more than its veneer. Alpha group leader Saya\, hardworking underdog Okita and the next generation of girls coming up through the organization’s ranks are proof that the person and the product peddled to the masses don’t have to—and probably shouldn’t—match. Angie Driscoll \n\nRyuichi Hirokawa: Human Battlefield\n\n\n99 MINUTES | 2015 | JAPAN | JAPANESE|ENGLISH|HEBREW|ARABIC|BELARUSIAN(SUBTITLES) | NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE | RATING: PG\n\nRyuichi Hirokawa is a human being first\, a photojournalist second. He considers journalism the right to know\, and relief work the right to live—two things that have informed his character and career. Recently retired from Days Japan magazine as editor-in-chief\, the septuagenarian goes back into the field and revisits the sites and stories of his past. He returns to Israel and Palestine\, and remembers a Lebanese refugee camp massacre—images burned into his brain that sent shockwaves around the world. Then he travels back to Chernobyl\, where he was the first Western journalist allowed to enter the no-go zone after the nuclear disaster. But all roads lead home\, where his focus now rests on fundraising in the wake of Fukushima. Ryuichi Hirokawa: Human Battlefield is a reverential character portrait that ruminates on the man behind the camera and whether the purpose of journalism is to record things that happen or to stop them from happening. Angie Driscoll \n\n\n\nADDITIONAL JAPANESE PRODUCTIONS & CO-PRODUCTIONS\n\n\n\nLiving the Game\n\n88 MINUTES | 2016 | JAPAN | JAPANESE (SUBTITLES) | INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE | RATING: G\n\nWith access to all the biggest players and tournaments\, director Takao Gotsu shows the professional Street Fighter gaming world in a fresh way\, tackling the essential nature of confidence and competition and focusing on Japan’s top talents. Emotionless champion Daigo delivers knockouts with more precision than personality\, while skillful couple ChocoBlanka and Momochi play with finesse not flair. But in a scene where winning in the flashiest\, most memorable way possible is what counts\, can these practice-makes-perfect players compete against those who deliver excitement and entertainment? Stars are born and myths are made of lesser players who create compelling narratives and signature moves without achieving the highest scores. Living the Game is an eye-opening look at the culture of modesty that shapes the Japanese style of play\, and the psychology of winning and losing\, pride and shame\, confidence and doubt that makes up the players’ mental game. Angie Driscoll \n\n\n\n\n Sunday Beauty Queen\n\n\n 95 MINUTES | 2016 | HONG KONG PHILIPPINES JAPAN | TAGALOG ENGLISH CANTONESE FRENCH (SUBTITLES) | CANADIAN PREMIERE | RATING: 14A\n\n\n\n\nFor Filipinas\, working overseas in Hong Kong brings financial opportunity but comes at a great cost. Most of the women work menial jobs\, where the bedroom is just an extension of the kitchen. Many live in fear of being deported if they’re out of work for more than 14 days. Over the course of four years\, Filipino filmmaker Baby Ruth Villarama tracks the lives of five charismatic and courageous women who choose to reclaim their dignity by competing in a pageant that serves as a voice for the 190\,000 Filipinas working in Hong Kong. One of those five women is Leo\, a fiery lesbian who’s been organizing beauty pageants in Hong Kong since 2008\, blazing a trail for the women who follow. Sunday Beauty Pageant is an empowering narrative that locates new voices among the growing body of work on migrant labour. Ravi Srinivasan

DESCRIPTION:日本語教師情報交換会：日本語学習を継続させる 24\n「口頭能力を伸ばす教室活動」の共有2\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トロント及びトロント近郊ではさまざまな年齢とレベルの学習者を対象に日本語教育が行われていますが、実際に教えている教師たちはほかの教育機関で行われていること、時には同じプログラム内であっても、自分以外の先生がしていることをあまりよく知らないのが現状だと思います。今、自分の目の前にいる学習者がどのような環境で何を学んできたのかを知り、そして今後彼らが日本語学習を継続するにあたりどのような選択肢があるのかを知ることは、教師にとって大変意味のあることだと考えます。また、教師間のネットワークを活性化させることにより、さまざまなレベルでの意見交換が頻繁に行われることにもなるでしょう。カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）と国際交流基金トロント日本文化センターでは、2009年12月より、日本語教育機関やプログラム間の“アーティキュレーション（連携、継続性）”のための素地を築くことを目指した集まりを企画してまいりました。 \n第24回目となる今回は、第23回に引き続き「口頭能力を伸ばす教室活動」についての情報共有を行います。前回の勉強会では、時間の制約上お持ちいただいた実践例を十分に紹介していただくことができなかったため、今回も前回に引き続き、日々の授業で工夫をされている活動例について具体的にご紹介いただき、参加者同士で共有できる場としたいと思います。 \n具体的な活動内容を紹介し合えるように、参加の先生方は、実際にお使いになった教案や教材などをお持ちください。 \n参加ご希望の方は以下をご確認の上、本ページ下段よりお申し込みください。 \n日時：2017年4月22日（土）　午後2時30分～ 5時30分　（開場：午後2時）\n会場：The Japan Foundation\, Toronto    2 Bloor Street East\, Suite 300\, Toronto\, Ontario\n参加申込： 登録必須 \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 \nCAJLE　小室リー郁子\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca　　Web site: http://www.cajle.info/ \n  \nInformation Exchange Meeting for Japanese Language Teachers:\nContinuing Learning Japanese 24\nCanadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE)\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nJapanese is taught at several secondary schools in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Yet\, it appears that teachers do not know much about the other institutions\, courses or programmes. This lack of understanding can sometimes be found even within the same institution. We believe that it is very important and necessary for teachers to know what their current students have previously studied and in what type of environment that education took place. Similarly\, it is important to be informed of the available learning opportunities for students who wish to continue studying Japanese.  We believe it is essential for teachers to build a strong and active network that enables them to communicate with one another. Since December 2009\, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education. \nIn the 24th event of the series\, we would like to share activities targeting speaking proficiency\, as a continuation of Continuing Learning Japanese 23. Since we did not have enough time to share everyone’s activities at our last meeting\, we once again welcome participants to share any speaking activities such as conversation activities\, presentations\, and skits\, which came alive in your classroom and were popular with your students\, including warm-up and even out-of-class activities. \nWe ask that participants reflect beforehand on their own classroom and bring materials\, etc. to introduce the activities they wish to share during this gathering. \nPlease join us! \nDate: Saturday\, April 22\, 2017\nTime: 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm (Doors open at 2pm)\nPlace: The Japan Foundation\, Toronto   2 Bloor Street East\, Suite 300\, Toronto\, Ontario\nRegistration (mandatory): Please register using the form below. \nFor Inquiries:\nNoriko Saito (The Japan Foundation\, Toronto)\nE-mail: nsaito@jftor.org　　Web site: www.jftor.org \nIkuko Komuro-Lee (CAJLE)\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca　　Web site: http://www.cajle.info/

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.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Continuing Learning Japanese 23: Sharing Activities Targeting Speaking Proficiency
DESCRIPTION:日本語教師情報交換会：日本語学習を継続させる 23\n 「口頭能力を伸ばす教室活動」の共有\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トロント及びトロント近郊ではさまざまな年齢とレベルの学習者を対象に日本語教育が行われていますが、実際に教えている教師たちはほかの教育機関で行われていること、時には同じプログラム内であっても、自分以外の先生がしていることをあまりよく知らないのが現状だと思います。今、自分の目の前にいる学習者がどのような環境で何を学んできたのかを知り、そして今後彼らが日本語学習を継続するにあたりどのような選択肢があるのかを知ることは、教師にとって大変意味のあることだと考えます。また、教師間のネットワークを活性化させることにより、さまざまなレベルでの意見交換が頻繁に行われることにもなるでしょう。カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）と国際交流基金トロント日本文化センターでは、2009年12月より、日本語教育機関やプログラム間の“アーティキュレーション（連携、継続性）”のための素地を築くことを目指した集まりを企画してまいりました。 \n第23回目となる今回は、「口頭能力を伸ばす教室活動」についての情報共有を行います。学習者の口頭能力を伸ばす活動は、学習者も教師も行いたい活動でありながらも、教室内ではなかなか時間が避けないということも聞きます。そこで、今回の勉強会では、ウォーミングアップとして使える活動や教室外でもできる活動も含め、会話はもちろん、クラスでプレゼンをする、グループでスキットを作って演じるなど、教室内で盛り上がった口頭能力を伸ばす活動や学生たちに人気のあった活動などの日々の実践を参加者同士で共有できる場としたいと思います。 \n参加者の皆様には、是非ご自身のこれまでの教室活動等を振り返ってご出席いただければと思います。具体的な活動内容を紹介し合えるように実際にお使いになった教案や教材などをお持ちください。 \n参加ご希望の方は以下をご確認の上、本ページ下段よりお申し込みください。 \n日時：2017年2月25日（土）　午後2時30分～ 5時　（開場：午後2時）\n会場：The Japan Foundation\, Toronto    2 Bloor Street East\, Suite 300\, Toronto\, Ontario\n参加申込： 登録必須 \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 \nCAJLE　小室リー郁子\nE-mail: ikuko.komuro.lee@utoronto.ca　　Web site: http://www.cajle.info/ \n＊なお、2月4日（土）に第二回JFT日本語教師研修：「授業の中で話す力を育てるにはどうしたらいいのか？」も行いますので、是非こちらもご参加ください。同教師研修の詳細、お申込は以下のサイトをご確認ください。\nhttps://tr.jpf.go.jp/event/2017_workshop01/\n  \nInformation Exchange Meeting for Japanese Language Teachers:\nContinuing Learning Japanese 23\nCanadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE)\nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nJapanese is taught at several secondary schools in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Yet\, it appears that teachers do not know much about the other institutions\, courses or programmes. This lack of understanding can sometimes be found even within the same institution. We believe that it is very important and necessary for teachers to know what their current students have previously studied and in what type of environment that education took place. Similarly\, it is important to be informed of the available learning opportunities for students who wish to continue studying Japanese.  We believe it is essential for teachers to build a strong and active network that enables them to communicate with one another. Since December 2009\, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education. \nIn the 23rd event of the series\, we would like to share activities targeting speaking proficiency.

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: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:The 47 Ronin (Genroku Chushingura) by Kenji Mizoguchi
DESCRIPTION:DVD screenings in conjunction with Legendary Loyalty: The 47 Ronin in Japanese Prints \nPart I:  Monday\, December 5\, 6:30 pm\nPart II: Thursday\, December 8\, 6:30 pm \nFollowing the surpassing popularity and tradition of the classic Kabuki play The Treasury of Loyal Retainers\, (Kanadehon Chūshingura)\, a modern Japanese playwright\, Seika Mayama (1878-1948)\, wrote a series of eleven plays titled Genroku Chūshingura between 1934 and 1941 on the same theme. Based on these plays\, master film director Kenji Mizoguchi created an epic piece by the same title in two parts: Part I (1941) and Part II (1942). In spite of the pressure and limits of wartime circumstances\, Mizoguchi’s noble images reveal the grandeur of the Genroku period and the philosophical depth of Seika’s literary world. \nReservation Required: online or 416-966-1600 x229
