    Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 Jonathan Wroot PhD Thesis Submitted to the University of East Anglia For the qualification of PhD in Film Studies 2013 1 Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 2 Acknowledgements Thanks needed to be expressed to a number of people over the last three years – and I apologise if I forget anyone here. First of all, thank you to Rayna Denison and Keith Johnston for agreeing to oversee this research – which required reining in my enthusiasm as much as attempting to tease it out of me and turn it into coherent writing. Thanks to Mark Jancovich, who helped me get started with the PhD at UEA. A big thank you also to Andrew Kirkham and Adam Torel for doing what they do at 4Digital Asia, Third Window, and their other ventures – if they did not do it, this thesis would not exist. Also, a big thank you to my numerous other friends and family – whose support was invaluable, despite the distance between most of them and Norwich. And finally, the biggest thank you of all goes to Christina, for constantly being there with her support and encouragement. 3 Abstract The thesis will examine how DVD distribution can affect Japanese film dissemination in the UK. The media discourse concerning 4Digital Asia and Third Window proposes that this is the principal factor influencing their films’ presence in the UK from 2008 to 2010.

    PROGRAMME - PROGRAMME - PROGRAMME - PROGRAMME - 20 Nov 11 Déc 2010 5eme FESTIVAL DU FILM JAPONAIS CONTEMPORAIN Mascotte de Kinotayo 2010 140 projectionsAvec la participation d'Écrans - d'asie 25 villes Kinotayo2010 Yoshi OIDA, l’Acteur flottant, président du Festival Kinotayo 2010 Pour le festival Kinotayo, c’est un immense honneur que d’avoir pour président ce comédien, acteur, metteur en scène et écrivain insaisissable, animé par l’omniprésente énergie de la vie, sur scène et en dehors. Yoshi Oida est un acteur hors du commun. Né à Kobe en 1933, il a dédié sa vie aux théâtres du monde entier, en ayant pour seule ligne de conduite de renoncer à la facilité. Son apprentissage commence au Japon : il est initié au théâtre Nô par les plus grands maîtres de l’école Okura. De cette expérience, il retirera l’importance de l’harmonie entre tous les éléments qui constituent l’outil principal du comédien : son corps. Puis en 1968 Yoshi Oida est invité à Paris par Jean-Louis Barrault pour travailler avec Peter Brook. Il fonde avec ce dernier le Centre International de Recherche Théâtrale (CIRT). Au contact du « magicien du théâtre européen », il apprend que le comédien doit être « un vent léger, qui devenant de plus en plus fort, doit allumer une flamme et la faire grandir ». Aux côtés du maître, il apprend également la mise en scène, métier qui l’occupe énormément aujourd’hui. Il sillonne alors le monde à la recherche de la maîtrise théâtrale la plus complète, apprenant les jeux Africains, Indien, Persan. Il s’interroge sur la frontière entre la scène et la vie de tous les jours : « Qu’ai-je appris sur la scène qui pourrait m’aider à vivre ma vie d’homme ordinaire ? ».

Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Christine Greiner CÉLIA MAKI TOMIMATSU São Paulo 2017 2 Banca Examinadora _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ São Paulo, ______ de _____________________ de 2017. 3 RESUMO O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar como o cineasta japonês Hirokazu Koreeda transforma o conceito de ikigai （生きがい） em um recurso comunicacional que afeta o público japonês e as plateias internacionais, na medida em que convoca a vida na sua singularidade cotidiana e não necessariamente a partir de grandes acontecimentos. Embora ikigai seja um termo de difícil tradução, tem sido considerado por pesquisadores de áreas diversas como razão de viver. O corpus principal da tese é composto por quatro filmes: A luz da ilusão (1995), Depois da vida (1999), Tão distante (2001) e Seguindo em frente (2008). Em todos eles, há um destaque para os questionamentos sobre a vida, a morte e, sobretudo, a memória como interação humana entre dos personagens. Isso porque, além dos diálogos, o silêncio e as imagens das lembranças expressam a razão de viver de cada um deles. No que se refere ao quadro teórico, relacionamos bibliografias sobre ikigai de Mieko Kamiya (2004a, 2004b) com os escritos do próprio Hirokazu Koreeda (2001, 2004, 2008, 2016a, 2016d), bem como suas entrevistas, nas quais o autor interpreta ikigai de um modo complexo e elucida a sua inserção no cinema japonês contemporâneo.

    Past, Present and Future: The 30th Anniversary of the Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur Greetings from the Director The Japan Foundation was established in 1972 with the main goal of cultivating friendship and ties between Japan and the world through culture, language, and dialogue. The Kuala Lumpur ofice known as The Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur Liaison Ofice was established at Wisma Nusantara, off Jalan P. Ramlee on 3 October 1989 as the third liaison ofice in SEA countries, following Jakarta and Bangkok. The liaison ofice was upgraded to Japan Cultural Centre Kuala Lumpur with Prince Takamado attending the opening ceremony on 14 February 1992. Japanese Language Centre Kuala Lumpur was then opened at Wisma Nusantara on 20 April 1995. In July 1998, the ofice moved to Menara Citibank, Jalan Ampang and then once more to our current ofice in Northpoint, Mid-Valley in September 2008. Since the establishment, the Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) has been working on various projects such as introducing Japanese arts and culture to Malaysia and vice versa. JFKL has also closely worked with the Ministry of Education to form a solid foundation of Japanese Language Education especially in Malaysian secondary schools and conducted various seminars and trainings for local Japanese teachers. We have also been supporting Japanese studies and promoting dialogues on common international issues. The past 30 years have deinitely been a long yet memorable journey in bringing the cultures of the two countries together. The cultural exchange with Malaysia has become more signiicant and crucial as Japan heads towards a multi-cultural society and there is a lot to learn from Malaysia.

  • A Survey of Shakespearean Performances in Japan from 2001-2010
    A Survey of Shakespearean Performances in Japan from 2001-2010 Kosai Ishihara Osamu Hirokawa 1. An Overview of Shakespearean Performance in Japan We are going to survey the performances on Shakespeare in this century. The Shakespeare Institute of Komazawa University has been compiling data on Shakespeare in Japan. We would like to exhibit how widely Shakespeare has been appreciated by people in and around Tokyo on the evidence of the performance records for the ten years from 2001 to 2010, based mainly upon the data of Nihon Sheikusupia Soran ( A General Survey of Shakespeare in Japan), composed by Takashi Sasaki, a member of The Komazawa University Shakespeare Institute. *(Table 1) The annual number of performances in the 1980s came to around 20-30 but increased to about 60-70 in the 1990s. The peak year of the 1990s was 1991, when the Fifth World Shakespeare Congress was held in Tokyo; in the autumn the Japan Festival of Great Britain was held in Great Britain. A total of 93 plays was performed that year. As the graph above shows, the lower rate of the early 2000s peaked again in 2002. In the recent years more than 100 Shakespearean productions have been staged. The fi gures include all performances, varying － 1 － Kosai Ishihara, Osamu Hirokawa from small amateur groups to large professional companies, from authentic British productions to traditional Japanese productions. Most of the plays staged in Japan are performed in Japanese, sometimes highly adapted. Once Shakespeare’s plays are translated into Japanese they are no longer strictly Shakespearean, since the structural differences between English and Japanese detract from his beautiful rhyme, accent, rhythm and imagery.

One is a Bunraku version of Falstaff, for which the writer himself wrote the script. It is an amalgamation of scenes from The Merry Wives of Windsor and those from Henry IV. It was highly reputed and its stage design was awarded a 2014 Yomiuri Theatre Award. Another is a production of Much Ado about Nothing produced by the writer himself in a theatre-in-the-round in his new translation. Another is a production of Macbeth arranged and directed by Mansai Nomura the Kyogen performer. All the characters besides Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were performed by the three witches, suggesting that the whole illusion was produced by the witches.
