On this week! (Golden Week / cute cats edition)

4/30/2017

As this next week is Golden Week and most people are away on holiday... there are predictably almost no academic talks or conferences in Tokyo!

This being the internet, though, where voids are filled with pictures of cute cats, we thought it would be a good time to mention the just-opened fukuneko (lucky cat) exhibition at Meguro Gajoen's historic pavilion (Japanese site here), which features over 1,000 examples of "neko art", including from the Heian and Edo periods (Utagawa Kuniyoshi, the ukiyo-e painter, was a noted cat lover).

If cats don't appeal (and why not?), you might want to check out our list of the over 35 other humanities-related exhibitions on in Tokyo over Golden Week: including Eric Carle's art, early Japanese photography, the London Natural History Museum, novelists in early American newspapers, and the tea ceremony.  (If you go to any of them, why not send us a review for the blog?)

A relaxing Golden Week to everyone!

On this week in Tokyo! (24 - 30 April 2017)

Hope everyone is enjoying the fine weather this weekend! The presentations in Tokyo this week have an unusually theoretical emphasis: topics include neo-Kantian history, the philosophy of sound, structural realism, sustainable curating, time, narrative technique, and Haruki Murakami on the art of translating. Also, Tokyo University of the Arts has an interesting-looking workshop on the London Olympic Games and its implications for Tokyo 2020.

New exhibitions include a retrospective (photo above) of the fashion photographer and colour pioneer Saul Leiter (1923 - 2013), a leading figure of the post-war "New York School" of photography, at the Bunkamura; a Komaba museum exhibition on the "Golden Age" of pre-war serializations of novels in newspapers; and an Italian film festival beginning this week at the Asahi Hall. Also - for fans of The Very Hungry Caterpillar - the Eric Carle exhibition just opened at Setagaya Art Museum.

As ever, if this is your first time to the Tokyo Humanities website, welcome and please take a look around (especially the "Cafe" page, for our new event in June): the site is three months old this week and keeps growing and adding new content. Feedback or information about events is always very welcome.

Something for everyone this week: "fake news" at Sophia, traditional Japanese colours at Rikkyo, Japan's geopolitical power, separate events on Chinese cinema and Tibetan film, the philosophy of sound... The two towering figures of Japanese literary studies, Soseki and Shakespeare, each receive their own events (both in Japanese):  a "World Literature and Soseki" symposium at Chuo University, and a Shakespeare Festival at Meiji, with one of the plenaries looking back at Yukio Ninagawa's life.

​Opening this week: Bruegel's "The Tower of Babel" at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum: in fact this is the so-called "little" Tower of Babel (60 cm by 75 cm) rather than the larger version in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, although they have an enlarged reproduction as well as a 3D computer graphics version. This is really a 16th-century Dutch art exhibition, with a number of pieces exploring the gradual transition from religious art to still life and landscape during this period. Hieronymus Bosch is also represented, with two works including "The Pedlar" (c. 1500, above).

​A reminder about an international conference this coming Saturday and Sunday (15-16 April) on "The Aesthetics of (Im)perfection" at the University of Tokyo: see here for flier and details.

​Other highlights this week include talks from the composer David Toop, the architect Sou Fujimoto, the novelist Jami Nakamura Lin, and the German Japanologist ​
Irmela Hijiya-Kirschnereit. Waseda has a (timely) talk on the Trump presidency and the Middle East, and Temple University hosts a fascinating-looking symposium on nuclear disaster and narrative, "Hibakusha Memories and Mythologies".

If the Marvel Exhibition doesn't appeal, there are a number of new museum and art gallery exhibitions to choose from, including "Chanoyu: The Arts of Tea Ceremony, The Essence of Japan" at Tokyo National Museum, a lavishly-funded survey of tea ceremony from the Muromachi period to the present day.

Finally, opening on the 15th at Yokohama Museum of art is a study of cross-cultural encounters between Japan and the West through the medium of fashion, "The Elegant Other": the exhibition particularly focuses on the period after the "opening" of  Japan in the 1850s, as kimono were exported to the West, inspiring paintings like Monet's "La Japonaise" (1876), above (the subject is actually Monet's wife, Camille, wearing a blonde wig).

Happy cherry blossom season to everyone! A slightly quiet week ahead on the lecture front, although there are still talks on Donald Trump (a popular topic this year!); public art in the digital age; the Jesuits in Latin America; Bertrand Russell; and two lectures by Dr Katarzyna Starczewska on 16th century Islam-Christian relations. Also, visits by two novelists: Mari Akasaka (author of Vibrator and Muse) and the Italian crime fiction writer Sandrone Dazieri.

Waseda University, which has one of the largest collections of Papua New Guinean artwork in Japan, has put it on display: "Meeting with Papua New Guinea" features over a thousand items, including earthware, weapons, and religious artefacts.

New exhibitions are opening on Marvel superheroes and the contemporary Japanese house, and this week is also the last chance to see the "Edo and Beijing: Cities and Urban Life in the 18th Century" exhibition, which is great.

Congratulations also to Barnaby Ralph, Angela Kikue Davenport, and Yui Nakatsuma, who have just brought out "London in Literature, 1603-1901", a Festschrift volume dedicated to the Dickensian scholar Eiichi Hara.
