Lecture | The EU-Japan Relationship Functioning & Future of the EU’s Strategic Partnerships By Herman Van Rompuy Former President of the European Council Former Prime Minister of Belgium The EU and Japan have one of the most important trade relationships in the world. The EU-Japan relationship is also one of the oldest strategic partnership the EU has come to entertain with third parties. Launched in 1991, the political dialogue between both parties has led to them co-operating extensively in bilateral and multilateral contexts on a range of global governance issues. In continuation of this long-term and deep-seated partnership, the EU and Japan have confirmed the next EU-Japan Summit to be held in Tokyo on May 29th 2015. Nevertheless, the relationship is widely acknowledged to have significant untapped potential. Accordingly, Japan and the European Union launched formal negations towards the conclusion of a new partnership agreement covering both a free trade and political cooperation chapter. Formal negotiations started a little under two-years ago in May 2013 under the auspices of H. Van Rompuy, the then President of the European Council. Following 6 negotiation rounds, contacts between both parties have depend and the scope of their dialogue widened. If negotiations are still ongoing, the process itself has marked a new stage in the relationship between these two civilian powers. As such, EU-Japan negotiations are remarkable both because of the sheer size of the economies involved, as well as what their ongoing negotiations signify for the EU’s wider foreign policy agenda with regards to its Strategic Partnerships. To explore some of these issues implicit in the EU-Japan Partnership, the organizers have seized upon the publication of an edited volume on “The European Union and Japan - A New Chapter in Civilian Power Cooperation?” to convene a series of expert and practitioners able to offer some valuable insights, either through their own experience or accomplished research. |

| Until 05/24 | Exhibition | Wabi Sabi Shima EXHIBITION An invitation to 30 contemporary artists on about the exchanges between Europe and Japan through the lens of wabi-sabi. A fertile terrain for investigation, Japanese never ceases to fascinate in its specificities. Wabi-sabi is the very essence of Japanese beauty, and a concept that illustrates key notions in Japanese aesthetics: wabi represents refinement through simplicity, while sabi explores the process of weathering over time, and shima is the Japanese term for island. The exhibition takes us into the heart of a culture that celebrates wear, chance, refinement, and nature without eschewing politics, collective memory, terrestrial violence or the realities of the present day.

| 09/26 | Lecture | Escale au Japon Le projet d’Escale au Japon est tout à la fois de mettre en lumière les collections japonaises de Mariemont et d’élargir nos perspectives en évoquant la scène de l’art contemporain au Japon aussi bien que des découvertes archéologiques récentes, des musées exceptionnels, des expositions remarquables. Cette nouvelle Escale sera en partie consacrée à l’estampe, moyen d’expression privilégié d’une nouvelle classe sociale émergente à l’époque d’Edo (1603 – 1868) et à son influence sur l’Occident. Parmi les ressources méconnues de Mariemont se trouve en effet une collection de près de trois cents estampes, offerte au musée en 1994 par Jeanne Jonas, qui tenait de son père collectionneur le goût des arts d’Extrême-Orient. La seconde intervention de la matinée nous fera comprendre comment l’estampe japonaise et son évolution contemporaine, à travers manga et anime, continue d’alimenter notre imaginaire. L’après-midi sera entièrement dédié à la découverte des trésors d’art japonais du musée Miho, projet hors normes, basé sur la conviction que l’art peut représenter pour chacun d’entre nous un facteur d’évolution spirituelle. |

| 10/17 | Lecture | Rencontre bouddhique de Mariemont Cette nouvelle Rencontre bouddhique se déroulera en deux temps. Suivant de près l’actualité dramatique de ces derniers mois, il nous a paru important de donner la parole à Philippe CORNU, de retour du Népal, qui nous présentera la société et l’art des Newars de la vallée de Katmandou et évoquera les défis auxquels ils sont aujourd’hui confrontés. Le thème principal de notre Rencontre est cette fois la retraite spirituelle dans le bouddhisme. Que ce soit dans la tradition du Theravada ou dans celle du Grand Véhicule, la retraite apparaît comme un temps important, plus ou moins long et souvent renouvelé, dans le chemin spirituel du pratiquant. Mais de quoi s’agit-il exactement ? Michel DEPREAY, enseignant dans la tradition zen, qui suit et anime des retraites depuis plus de vingt ans, nous rappellera qu’elle est avant tout un temps de rencontre avec soi. L’après-midi, Philippe CORNU, grand spécialiste du bouddhisme tibétain et Président de nos Rencontres, évoquera le rôle de la retraite dans le bouddhisme du Vajrayâna et sa place dans le contexte sociétal actuel. |

Course | Create your Furoshiki during Home and Away Tôkyo Event of Mons2015 Furoshiki designates a traditional Japanese method of wrapping cloth used to carry clothes, gifts or bentô lunch boxes. The tradition is thought to date back to the Nara era (710-794). The furoshiki wrapping method gradually fell into disuse after 1945, mainly because of the introduction of plastic bags. From an environmental and ecological perspective, furoshiki is nevertheless one of the prettiest and most convenient alternatives to the plastic bag. |

Lecture | HATSUNE MIKU - The Metamorphasis of Music and Technology This October, the Japan Foundation and Embassy of Japan in Belgium will present an evening exploring the musical phenomenon of Hatsune Miku, Japan’s most iconic and globally-recognised singer. Featuring in over 500,000 songs worldwide and appearing in some 170,000 uploaded YouTube music videos, what separates Miku from her contemporaries is that she is in fact a ‘virtual’ singer and the face of the music software created by Crypton Future Media, software anyone can buy and use to make her music. As character “singing” through vocal synthesizer technology, Hatsune Miku became a huge hit since the software’s launch in 2007 and inspired collaborations as diverse as Lady Gaga and Pharrell Williams. With Miku’s popularity continuing to skyrocket, she continues to change the course of music production, paving a new way for the future of pop music.

Exhibition | The Spirit of Budo - The History of Japan's Martial Arts The Japan Foundation Touring Exhibition This exhibition consists of two parts: in the first part, reproductions/originals of historical weapons such as bows and arrows, suits of armor, helmets, and so on are shown, and the development and changes of Japanese martial arts from 8th century to 19th century are explained. Many of ancient types of armor and weapons have not survived to the present or are too fragile for international transport. That is why we decided to include reproductions, which would give the appearance of suits of armor and helmets at the time of original production even more vividly. The second part deals with the reorganization of bujutsu to budo in the 19th and 20th centuries, and how spirit of martial arts is still inherent in the daily how spirit of martial arts is still inherent in the daily life of Japanese people today. Nine budo associations are also introduced and the clothes and implements such as bamboo swords, protectors, bows and arrows, and so on, which are used by players and students in the present day, are also to be seen. |
