Onoda, 10000 nights in the jungle Late 1944. Japan is losing the war. On the orders of the mysterious Major Taniguchi, the young Hiroo Onoda is sent to an island in the Philippines just before the American landing. The handful of soldiers he leads into the jungle soon discover the unknown doctrine that will bind them to this man : the Secret War. The Empire will surrender soon after, Onoda 10.000 nights later. |

The Other Japan Newspaper articles, TV shows, documentaries, travel blogs and tourist photography constantly reproduce stereotypical images of Japan with their opposing poles of tradition (Fuji-san, temples, geisha …) and modernity (high technology, mega-cities, emotional indifference, social isolation …). These poles also confirm and feed a meta-stereotype: Japan is different and – in its difference – cannot be understood by ‘the Others‘. The project “The Other Japan” now asked Ghent University exchange students in Kanazawa, Kobe, Kyushu, Akita and other cities to overcome the tourist gaze with its stereotypical images and “place myths” and take a closer look in order to find the visual “other” behind the “othered” Japan. The exhibition, of around 50 selected photographs, which has already been shown at Kanazawa University, will take place in the Centre of Architecture and Art (Vandenhove Pavilion) of Ghent University. |

Rirkrit Tiravanija pavilion A unique experience in the garden of Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens. Every first Sunday of the month, the pavilion of artist Rirkrit Tiravanija is activated during a free tea ceremony. Reservation is required. Rirkrit Tiravanija's 20-metre maze is based on the floor plan of MDD's largest exhibition space. The labyrinth leads to a Japanese wooden tea house in it’s centre, where the tea tasting takes place. Like much of Tiravanija's work, Untitled 2018 (the infinite dimensions of smallness) requires direct presence and personal engagement, offering opportunities for interaction and activating the senses. Whereas earlier versions of the work (in Singapore and Poitiers, both 2018) were made of bamboo, for this version the artist chose to build the labyrinth out of scaffolding, in reference to the recent renovation of the museum. In this way, the artist makes a strong connection between the ongoing work at the museum and the rules of hospitality. |

| Cours d’Ikebana | 1 jeudi par mois 10h30 ou 13h30 Chaque année, des cours d’Ikebana – art floral japonais – sont donnés à Mariemont par un maître de l’école Ohara, pour les débutants comme pour des personnes ayant déjà une certaine pratique. L'Ikebana, c'est l'art de composer des bouquets qui mettent les fleurs, les branchages et les feuillages en valeur selon certaines règles et méthodes qui varient suivant les écoles. L'observation de la nature est très importante, car l'accent est mis sur les saisons, le processus de croissance des végétaux et la beauté de l'environnement naturel. Pratiquer l'Ikebana permet de se retrouver face à la nature et face à soi-même: une forme de méditation active qui nous laisse entrevoir un message de simplicité devant ces végétaux par essence éphémères. |

| Atelier de fabrication et pliage de furoshikis | Tous les derniers samedis de chaque mois, je vous propose de fabriquer votre propre furoshiki et d'apprendre à faire les nouages pour en faire le sac de votre choix ! Le furoshiki est un tissus carré qui appartient à la tradition japonaise et dont le nouage, selon sa dimension, permet de créer des emballages d'objets (bento, cadeaux, etc.), des sacs pour sortir ou des sacs pour faire les courses, et même des vêtements improvisés ! C'est un objet très fonctionnel et écologique qui peut être simple ou élégant, selon les envies de chacun ! Le prix est de 25 euros, tissus non compris. Des tissus japonais, des unis, et de très beaux tissus fleuris (de chez Rowan) seront en vente sur place. |
