    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.

  • Dancing Gods at Godless Festivals
    Dancing Gods at Godless Festivals An Introduction to the Phenomenon of Japanese Dance Yosakoi through a Comparative Analysis of Three Yosakoi Performances with the Theme Princess Kaguya The Department of Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies Master's Thesis 30 ETCS Japanese Master's Course in Japanese Studies (120 ETCS) Spring term 2016 Supervisor: Gunnar Linder Author: Theres Wik Abstract The aim of the thesis is to provide the Western reader a with comprehensive introduction of the phenomenon of Japanese dance yosakoi, as well as a better understanding how a yosakoi performance is made. The first half of the thesis discusses the traditional festivals and the folk performing arts of Japan in order to contrast these to the very young yosakoi festival. Then the paper concentrates on yosakoi performances with a specific theme, that of Princess Kaguya from the folk story Taketori Monogatari. A dance analysis method looking at different aspects of a performance was applied. The research questions dealt with what makes a yosakoi performance yosakoi, as well as how the chosen performances tell the story of Princess Kaguya through yosakoi and how yosakoi has changed. The results indicate that the use of naruko and folk songs, are the most striking common factor. Further discussion is made concerning whether yosakoi is a festival in its true sense, as there are no gods present at a yosakoi festival. I also argue whether yosakoi could be on its way of becoming part of Japan’s intangible heritage/folk performing art. This paper also problematizes how yosakoi dancers approach the dilemma of dancing for their own pleasure or the pleasure of the spectator.
