The process is that of a painting with water and uses all-natural materials: wood, paper, rock, sand, bone. It shares its origins with the technique of fresco, since it proceeds to the base of the same natural pigments, metal oxides and crushed earth or shells. The pigments are crushed with animal glue prepared by the painter for the work, as and when it is created. In addition, gold, silver and platinum leaves are frequently used. It is the same for the preparation of the support, paper mounted on wood or silk stretched on frame. Each element being prepared by the artist contributes to the realization of an original work.
We will learn to prepare the pigments and use them to create transparencies, lights, relief patterns and to create a personalized creation, free or according to model, in a traditional or more contemporary style.Atelier-galerie Krassiko

PerformanceNoh-Bach
As part of this second collaboration, the ARTONOV festival proposes, for the ARTONOV Spring Series at the BANAD Festival, a performance which echoes the link between Japonisme and Art Nouveau.
In the last 25 years of the nineteenth century, the Ukiyo-e Japanese art movement became a new source of inspiration for European Impressionist and then Art Nouveau painters. In a series of articles published in 1872 in the Renaissance littéraire et artistique magazine, the collector Philippe Burty gave this revolution a name: "Japonisme".
This concert and performance will bring together The Well-Tempered Clavier by J. S. Bach and Japanese Noh theatre. It is structured as a day of Noh broken down into spiritual apparitions and offers the audience a rare opportunity to discover a great variety and to penetrate intimacy. Four masks, two men and two women, all worn by the same actor, are changed in full sight. Moments of choreography without a mask, with or without a fan, or with swords will help the audience understand the unity of the Noh characters and to admire their power and elegance. The almost complete absence of costumes, reduced to the bare minimum, will allow the audience to experience the subtleties of complex body movements that are usually hidden.
The performance will also offer music-lovers the pleasure of hearing again the Preludes and Fugues from the second book of The Well-Tempered Clavier by J. S. Bach, against the new background of this bringing-together, which reveals their theatrical and emotional power, that often remains unnoticed.

Through his works, Aki Kuroda takes us to a world laden with ancient myths and stories from his country, Japan. He creates “passages” between different worlds: modernism and contemporary art, East and West, the body and the cosmos, mythology and the future. Very large colourful canvases take up the spaces of Hangar on the theme of the Cosmogarden (interior and external garden/everything is blended in an oneiric jungle).Hangar Art Center

17:30-19:30Cinema De Japanse kroonprins op rondreis in Europa en andere Japanse korte films uit 1921
Documentaire / 1921 / 1:44 / Regie: Verschillende regisseurs / / Japan / Gesproken taal: *Geen* / Ondertiteling: *Geen*
Na WOI was het voor iedereen duidelijk dat de wereld niet meer dezelfde was. Politici en notabelen uit de hele wereld waren benieuwd om te zien hoe vier jaar oorlog het oude Europa had veranderd en reisden af naar Europa om de gevolgen met eigen ogen te aanschouwen. Onder hen ook kroonprins Higashi-no-miya uit Japan, the latere keizer Hirohito, die in 1921 naar Europa vertrok om zich voor te bereiden op zijn functie als keizer. Hij werd enthousiast onthaald door royalty, politici, pers en publiek op zijn rondreis door het Britse rijk, Frankrijk, Nederland, Italië en België. In zijn thuisland werd er uitgebreid verslag gedaan van de reis, in het bioscoopjournaal en de kranten. De films van de reis van kroonprins waren enerzijds bepalend voor het Japanse beeld van Europa, anderzijds bieden ze een unieke blik op het naoorlogse Europa gezien door een Japanse bril. De reisfilms van de keizer worden aangevuld door een verslag van een bezoek van de keizer aan een expo over het nieuwste massamedium van die tijd, het 'bewegend beeld' en de keizer die in de bioscoop kijkt naar de samoerafilm 'Het Tragisch Afscheid van Lord Kusunoki' met superster Onoe Matsunosuke in de hoofdrol. Dit uniek beeldmateriaal van de latere keizer Hirohito op doorreis in Europa werd speciaal voor deze vertoning uitgeleend door het Nationaal Film Archief van Japans en de meeste films waren nooit eerder te zien in Europa. De vertoning werd voorbereid door de benkyōkai, de studiegroep Moderne Japanse Geschiedenis van KULeuven onder supervisie van Prof. Dr. Jan Schmidt. De films worden, net als 100 jaar geleden, voorzien van live piano begeleiding. Prof. Dr. Jan Schmidt van de afdeling Japanse Studies van de KULeuven zal de voorstelling inleiden.Cinema ZED-STUK, Leuven

at 20:30Theater Five Days in March – re-creation
On the eve of the US-British offensive in Iraq on 21 March 2003, Japan joins the invading troops. This is Japan’s first military engagement since 1945, and it provokes many reactions. Against the background of a historical peace demonstration, the young adult characters in Five Days in March tell their personal stories of everyday life in Tokyo. This year, Japanese theatre-maker Toshiki Okada brings a new (!) adaptation of that iconic creation. The first presentation of Five Days in March (at Kunstenfestivaldesarts in 2007) was received with great enthusiasm and admiration. It marked Okada’s break - through in Europe and across the world. In his theatrical language, the logic between words and movement is unclear, as if these are two entirely independent forms of grammar. Balancing between the natural and the artificial, Okada uses stereotypical stories to sketch the profile of a generation of young people who have lost their way; their public participation in the demonstration contrasts with the (highest) personal concerns they share.Kaaitheater

17:30-19:30Cinema Benshi: Chushingura (1926)
Live event / 1926 / 1:15 / Regie: Ikeda Tomiyasu / Cast: Onoe Matsunosuke, Yamamoto Ka'ichi, Katsura Takeo / Japan / Gesproken taal: Japans / Ondertiteling: Engels
Chūshingura vertelt het eeuwenoude verhaal van de 'wraak van de 47 ronin', de samurai zonder meester, een echte klassieker uit het Japanse cultuurgeschiedenis. Het verhaal gaat terug op een historische gebeurtenis uit 1703 toen 47 samurai het kasteel aanvielen van Kira Kōzuke no Suke, de man die hun meester had verraden twee jaar voordien, waardoor die zelfmoord had moeten plegen. Het incident zorgde voor veel beroering onder de samurai die verdeeld werden tussen enerzijds bewondering voor de trouw van de 47 samurai aan hun meester en anderzijds de teleurstelling omwille van hun ongehoorzaamheid.
In de jaren ’20 en ’30 waren de echte sterren van de Japanse film niet zozeer de acteurs op het witte doek, maar wel de ‘benshi’: de vertellers die live voor het scherm het verhaal van de stille film tot leven brachten. Voor de derde keer brengt Cinema ZED in samenwerking met Prof. Dr. Jan Schmidt van de afdeling Japanse Studies van de KULeuven dit uniek stukje filmgeschiedenis terug tot leven. Benshi-verteller Kataoka Ichiro laat zich deze keer vergezellen van drie muzikanten: een shakuhachi fluitist, een taikō drummer en een pianist. Zij die er vorig keer bijwaren zullen getuigen: dit is een onvergetelijke ervaring!
De voorstelling wordt ingeleid door Prof. Dr. Jan Schmidt en KU Leuven/LUCA filmhistorica Prof. Dr. Leen Engelen. De film zelf duurt 52 min, maar wordt voorafgegaan door een introductie op de Japanse film uit de jaren '20 en uitgeleid met een Q&A.Cinema ZED VESALIUS, Leuven

Date Category Title Venue Info 06/01-03 Miscellaneous International Seminar of Ono Ha Ittō Ryū Kenjutsu
Under the Supervision of Yabuki Yūji, 18th Sōke.
We are very proud, to announce that from Friday June 1st until Sunday June 3rd 2018, we are hosting an international seminar of Ono Ha Ittō Ryū Kenjutsu (小野派一刀流) under the direction of Yabuki Yūji (矢吹裕二), the 18th Sōke of the school.
Yabuki Sōke will be accompanied by Kawakami Kazuo and Asai Masashi, both Menkyo Kaiden.
This seminar might also be of interest to practitioners of Kendō since Schools like Ono Ha Ittō Ryū (or its branches) were at the origin of modern Kendō and Sasamori Takemi’s father, Sasamori Junzō (1886—1976), was not only Sōke of Ono Ha Ittō Ryū, he was also instrumental in the rehabilitation of Kendō in the fifties. He founded and served as the president of the Zen Nihon Shinai Kyōgi Renmei, achieved Kendō 10th dan and was author of the book “This is kendō”.
Yabuki Yūji, is a Tōkyō Metropolitan Police Department Kendō Instructor (Kendō Kyōshi, 7th dan). He was born in Iwaki City (Fukushima Prefecture) on February 10th, 1970. In 1992 he joined The Metropolitan Police Department (警視庁 Keishichō), where he also learned Ono Ha Ittō Ryū.
In 1998, he became a direct student of the 17th Sōke of Ono Ha Ittō Ryū, Sasamori Takemi. He was given Menkyo Kaiden and eventually designated as the 18th Sōke and the third Chief of Reigakudō by Sasamori Takemi, who passed away last summer.
Yabuki Sōke is dedicating his whole life to embody amity and comity (Enman 円満) as passed on by the previous Sōke.Sporthal Ten Gaerde

049604737509/07-11/03 Exhibition Sato Kimitake: HAKOIRI MUSUME – Girl in the Trunk
The Japanese idiom “Hakoiri Musume” translates into English as “Daughter in a Box”. The term originated in the Edo period (1603-1867) and describes “a young single woman who leads a sheltered life with her protective family” as if she were kept in a box. Widespread in popular culture, the expression has been used as a title for several movies, mangas and a television series, but as Naoko Takemaru, an Associate Professor of Japanese Studies at the University of Nevada, argues: in a rapidly evolving society, Hakoiri Musume represents “mostly a [past reality given the] steady increase in the number of young women who live away from their family for [their] education and career.[1]
Hakoiri Musume – Girl in the Trunk, Turin-based Japanese artist Sato Kimitake’s exhibition presented at Albert Baronian gallery on the occasion of the Brussels Gallery Weekend, evokes this phenomenon. The installation depicts the silhouette of a young girl trapped inside a large 1,30 meter high trunk. The work metaphorically conjures Hakoiri Musume, a daughter who has been “put inside a box” and carefully brought up by her family. The trunk is displayed open and reveals a negative cast of a young girl’s body. The figure as such is both present and absent from the trunk.
As Sato Kimitake explains: “just by watching the young girl’s outline, the viewer gazes at the trunk’s true contents. (…) The quality of the box in which something precious is stored reveals the real value of the object, material or item it carries. (…) Although it is only an idiom and should be understood in a figurative sense, taken literally, the act of storing and carrying one’s daughter in a box is an egotistical absurdity.”

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.Musée royal de Mariemont

The Belgian National Orchestra welcomes the Japanese conductor, Kazushi Ono and the German soprano, Christiane Oelze for two exceptional performances.
• Richard Wagner, Götterdämmerung (Siegfrieds Tod; Trauermusik beim Tode Siegfrieds; Rheinfahrt)
• Richard Strauss, Vier Letzte Lieder
• Dmitry Shostakovich, Symphony No. 6 in B minor, op. 54
Fall of the Gods
With Twilight of the Gods (1876) Wagner completed the dream that he had pursued as a young man. Twenty-five years after the beginning of Der Ring des Nibelungen the fourth and final part brought an end to the saga about the passions of gods. With great violence Wagner crushed the divine garden of earthly delights.
A greater contrast with Strauss' serene farewell is unthinkable. The Vier Letzte Lieder (1948) belong to Richard Strauss' final composition. At the end of his life the 84-year-old put the poems of Hesse and Von Eichendorf to music. 'Hands, cease your activity, head, forget all of your thoughts; all my senses now will sink into slumber'. Soprano Christiane Oelze transports you in his reflections on human nature and transience.
After the smoke lifts, the melancholy of a lonely horn resounds. The cry from the heart of an artist whose voice cannot be heard? Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony (1939), a work of particular complexity that raises more questions than answers, will be revealed under Kazushi Ono's baton.22 November :

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.Musée royal de Mariemont

http://www.japanscentrum.be/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.Adresse des ateliers:
