01/11 15:00	Lecture Demonstration	NIHON DŌBANGA: ETCHING IN JAPAN, 1783–1900 Participant fee: € 20 per persoon. Buy your ticket via het Gasuthuis. Each participant receive a Fukubukuro (Japanese lucky bag) including an original small etching! Japanese print art is best known for its woodcut (moku-hanga), the classic Japanese color print art, also known as Ukiyo-e. This beloved Japanese prints led to Japonism in Europe after 1860 and was partly the reason. This lecture provides an overview of how, within the Japanese printing tradition, people independently developed the etching technique (dō-banga) into their own school. It gives a glimpse of a kind of prints that is only known to a few specialists outside of Japan and is shown here to a larger audience. After the lecture, some original 19th-century Japanese woodcuts and etchings will be shown along with tools and materials for making prints. Dr. Ad Stijnman is a Dutch printmaker and print historian.

01/11	Concert Exhibition Demonstration Dance	Taïkophonic live & Closing of the exhibition Hafu2Hafu A fantastic, silent and forceful musical encounter! Experience the art of Taïko during the closing night of the exhibition Hafu2Hafu by photographer Tetsuro Miyazaki. This evening will be all about cultural mixing that is half Japanese - half other. TAÏKOPHONIC is a unique meeting of the ancient Japanese art of Taïko, a traditional wooden drum – with the fine, little noises of analog instruments called monotrons. Despite the apparent incongruity, their universes get along well. The project is carried by two musicians mixing their multidisciplinary experiences through experimentation, improvisation on silence, the feeling of emptiness and of fullness. Taïkophonic is a hybrid project between traditional Far East and contemporary music & dance. The duo is composed by Maïa Aboueleze and Marc Van Eyck. Before the concert, from 6 to 7 pm, discover and try out the art of Chinese-Japanese calligraphy with a warming glass of sake.

Buy your ticket via het Gasuthuis * max 10 people per workshop. * Each participant receive a set of washi to use in this printing workshop. Included in this set is Sekishu Kozo, a traditional handmade paper registered as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. This is an introduction workshop for the moku-hanga technique, as used for the well-known Ukiyo-e, "prints of the floating world". After a brief explanation and demonstration, we will try to print the woodcuts with beautiful Japanese classical designs with the help of already cut plates such as suri-shi (the printer). We do this with water-based inks, yamato nori (a kind of starch) and horse-hair brushes, and we print on Japanese paper with a baren (a Japanese traditional instrument). The printing workshop is open to everyone, from children to adults, from non-artists to artists. Make your special printed cards and take them home with the rest of the Washi (Japanese paper)!

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.
