Japan Society's Press Release on Press Contacts: Performing Arts/General: Bridget Klapinski, 347-246-6182 [email protected] *Music Events: John Seroff, 201-743-8536 [email protected] Shannon Jowett, Japan Society, 212-715-1205 [email protected] Japan Society Presents Miwa Yanagi’s Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape Part of Japan Society’s 2014-2015 Performing Arts Season, this Production Launches Society-wide Series: Stories from the War Marking the 70th Anniversary of the End of WW II Three Performances Only: January 29, 30, 31 at 7:30pm Japan Society (333 East 47th Street) New York, NY, January 12, 2015 – As part of its 2014-2015 Performing Arts Season, Japan Society proudly presents Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape, the first theater production within the Society-wide series Stories from the War, marking the 70th Anniversary of the end of WWII. This multimedia work conceived, written and directed by internationally renowned visual artist Miwa Yanagi marks a North American premiere, playing 3 performances: Thursday, January 29 – Saturday, January 31 at 7:30pm. Following this premiere at Japan Society, Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape will have performances at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, DC (2/6 & 2/7); Asian Arts & Culture Center at Towson University, Towson, MD (2/13); Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, Toronto, Canada (2/21) and REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater), Los Angeles, CA (2/26-2/28) as part of a North American tour produced and organized by Japan Society. 1943. In the midst of WWII, the voice of a female announcer on ‘Radio Tokyo,’ Japan’s state-run international radio service, reached the ears of U.S. troops stationed in the South Pacific. The broadcast announcements were made by not one but several Japanese-American women, ordered to work on air by the Japanese Imperial Army. Their voices, aired during an entertainment program ‘The Zero Hour,’ were immediately and wildly popular with the US Troops based, who soon began referring to the announcers – collectively – as ‘Tokyo Rose.’ 1 Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape, inspired by actual events, traces the story of – and the search for – the true ‘Tokyo Rose’ and examines the case of a young Japanese-American woman who was stranded in Japan during WWII, forced to serve as a broadcaster for the propaganda radio program ‘The Zero Hour,’ and subsequently tried for treason by the United States. This historic incident is reimagined in this original theatrical whodunit, brimming with dynamic projections as well as iconic imagery from the rich body of photographic work by artist Miwa Yanagi, one of the featured artists in Japan Society’s 2011 gallery exhibition Bye Bye Kitty!! Between Heaven and Hell in Contemporary Japanese Art. This visually rich work, Miwa Yanagi’s North American debut as a theater artist, takes audiences inside the multifaceted story of a woman caught between two nations during and in the wake of WWII. Performed in English and Japanese with English subtitles. Miwa Yanagi was born in 1967 in Kobe, Japan. She completed postgraduate courses at Kyoto City University of Arts. Known primarily as a contemporary photographer and video artist, in recent years she has expanded her work into performance art and theater. Hailed by The New York Times as “a veteran on the art fair circuit,” Miwa Yanagi employs computer graphics and special effects in her intricate visual pieces, and her theatrical works incorporate images from her visual artwork. Yanagi’s elaborate creations using female models communicate themes of femininity/gender, aging, employment and body image. The most recognized of Yanagi’s photography series include: “Elevator Girls,” which features groups of uniformed department store elevator attendants in a variety of urban spaces throughout Japan; “My Grandmothers,” which features women disguised as they might look 50 years from now; and “Fairy Tales,” a series in which young women take on the roles of girls and old haggard women from various famous fairy tales. Her first solo exhibition was in Kyoto, Japan in 1993. In 1996, she was selected to be in an exhibition at the Kunstalle in Frankfort, Germany. Her works have been presented in solo and group shows throughout Japan and in Germany, France, the U.S., Australia, Brazil and Taiwan, and beyond. In 2009, Yanagi was selected as a representative for the Japan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale where she covered the Japan Pavilion with a black curtain and presented her “Windswept Women: The Old Girls’ Troupe” photography series. In 2011, two of Yanagi’s works from the “My Grandmothers” series were featured in Japan Society’s acclaimed exhibition Bye Bye Kitty!! Between Heaven and Hell in Japanese Contemporary Art curated by David Elliot. Since 2010, her theater and performance art projects include: Sakuramori Chakai as part of the Kyoto Art Center’s Meirin Chakai series (2010), Café Rottenmeier at Festival Tokyo (2010) and The Guide Ladies Project at the Railroad Art Festival Vol. 2, Osaka (2012). Yanagi’s first full-length theatrical works were represented in a historically-based trilogy of plays – Tokyo-Berlin, Naval Encounter and Man Machine – based on a series of interconnected historical events that took place in the years around 1924. Her theatrical works have been presented at prominent venues and festival such as the Kyoto Art Center, The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, Kanagawa Arts Theatre, Aichi Triennale and Festival Tokyo. Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape is Miwa Yanagi’s latest theater work. Awards include: Leopold Godowsky Jr. Color Photography Award, First Prize (1998), The Vision of Contemporary Art Prize (1999), Kyoto City Artist Prize (1999), Higashikawa Prize, New Photographer Prize (1999), Sakuya-Konohana Prize (2000), Kyoto Prefectural Artist Prize (2001), Hyogo Prefectural Artist Prize (2004), Takashimaya Art Prize (2006). Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape is written and directed by Miwa Yanagi. Set and Costume Design by Miwa Yanagi. Set Construction Design by Torafu Architects. Choreography by Megumi Matsumoto. Lighting Design by Akane Ikebe. Sound Design by Yasutaka Kobayakawa. Video Projection by Tadashi Mitani. Technical Direction by Genta Iwamura. Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape is performed by Yohei Matsukado, Hinako Arao, Megumi Matsumoto, Ami Kobayashi, Sogo Nishimura, Aki and Sachi Masuda. 2 The Society-wide series, Stories from the War, launching with this production and running through August 2015, marks the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII with programs including a theater series, film series, lectures and education programs, encouraging reflection on the events, figures and issues surrounding the war and its impact on the people of the United States and Japan from today’s vantage point. As part of Stories from the War, the three-part series Stories from the War: Reflecting on WWII through Theater delivers three theatrical offerings beginning with Miwa Yanagi’s Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose’s Last Tape. This production will be followed in the theater series by Michiko Godai’s Yokohama Rosa (April 25-26) and New and Traditional Noh: Holy Mother in Nagasaki and Kiyotsune (May 14-16). About the theater programs, Japan Society’s Artistic Director Yoko Shioya remarks, “Theater is one of the most powerful and immediate mediums to unpack and address complicated and challenging topics. At a time critical to Japanese politics and the U.S.-Japan relationship, these productions bring to life vivid and timeless personal stories, and offer a platform for discussion through a contemporary lens.” Since the inception of the Performing Arts Program in 1953, Japan Society has introduced nearly 700 of Japan’s finest performing arts to an extensive American audience. Programs range from the traditional arts of noh, kyogen, bunraku and kabuki to cutting-edge theater, dance and music. The Program also commissions new works to non-Japanese artists, produces national tours, organizes residency programs for American and Japanese artists and develops and distributes educational programs. "At once diverse and daring, the program stands toe to toe with some of the most comprehensive cultural exchange endeavors today.” --Back Stage. The 2014-2015 Performing Arts Season, featuring works by visionary artists in music, dance and theater, launched in September with the first event in The Shamisen Sessions, a series of four distinct music events continuing through December, centered on Japan’s centuries-old three-stringed instrument, from modern and experimental interpretations to world-class traditional explorations. Along with Stories from the War: Reflecting on WWII through Theater, another large-scale series running January through May, the 2014-2015 season also includes the 16th Contemporary Dance Showcase (January); Play Reading Series: Contemporary Japanese Plays in English Translation (Dancing with the Bird, written by Seiji Nozoe, translated and directed by James Yaegashi, in March) and the New York Premiere of Kota Yamazaki/Fluid hug-hug’s OQ, a Japan Society commission (June). Founded in 1907, Japan Society is a multidisciplinary hub for global leaders, artists, scholars, educators, and English and Japanese-speaking audiences. At the Society, more than 100 events each year feature sophisticated, topically relevant presentations of Japanese art and culture and open, critical dialogue on issues of vital importance to the U.S., Japan and East Asia. An American nonprofit, nonpolitical organization, the Society cultivates a constructive, resonant and dynamic relationship between the people of the U.S. and Japan. Miwa Yanagi’s Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose's Last Tape plays three performances as follows: Thursday, January 29 at 7:30pm (followed by MetLife Meet-the-Artists Reception), Friday, January 30 and Saturday, January 31 at 7:30pm.

  • "The Wings of Miwa Yanagi," the Translation of Special Issue On
    special issue Feature Interview The Wings of Miwa Yanagi Miwa Yanagi has wings, and she flies easily across the borders of different art genres. She majored in textile dyeing in her school years, but shifted to contemporary art, creating photography and video work using computer graphics. Since 2012, she has been also been a professor at the Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Kyoto University of Art and Design. The next place she landed at was theater. In the past four years, she has been organizing many plays based on modern Japan, as if excavating hidden voices of people buried in history. In 2014, she introduced the Taiwanese moving stage (stage trailer) to Japan for the first time. Together with students of Kyoto University of Art and Design, Tohoku University of Art & Design, and Taipei National University of the Arts, the moving stage they made in Taiwan will be “drifting” to various places after “landing ashore” at Yokohama Triennale. A pilgrimage and tour begins with “Wings of the Sun,” a road novel by the late novelist, Kenji Nakagami. Photography：Shen Chao-Liang What does this touring performance mean to her? The stage trailer unfolds and the stage appears. In Taiwan. As Miwa Yanagi is on a quest to find her ideal expression, we too chase after her as she continues to fly on the artistic stage. 1 2 make things using my hands. Being in the classical and traditional Departments of Crafts, I didn't know much about art when I was an undergraduate student. Of course, I was familiar with Dumb Type1 or Yayoi Kusama2, but I didn't quite understand the concept of contemporary art even if I visited an exhibition.

  • Popular Culture and Gender Issues in Miwa Yanagi's Art Practice A
    KRESTINA SKIRL Popular Culture and Gender Issues in Miwa Yanagi's Art Practice A Critical Approach Towards Images of Identity and Femininity Currently Circulating in Japanese Popular Culture This paper explores the crossover between art and popular culture in the art practice of the contemporary Japanese artist Miwa Yanagi, arguing that her art works seem to take a critical approach towards images of identity - and above all images of femininity - currently circulating in Japanese popular culture. At the same time, this paper also demonstrates that Miwa Yanagi’s works appear to engage in issues of identity and gender from a more overall and philosophical perspective, in a way which moves beyond an entirely Japanese context. Note: all illustrations included by courtesy of the artist. By Krestina Skirl and working in Kyoto where she completed a Master’s This paper concerns the art practice of the degree in Art Research at Kyoto City University of Arts contemporary Japanese artist Miwa Yanagi (b. 1967) and held her first solo exhibition in 1993, Miwa Yanagi which can be said to be of current interest. Not only has been experimenting with photography, video and because Miwa Yanagi was appointed as artist for the computer graphics for years to create art works which Japanese Pavilion at the 53rd Venice Biennale of Art are centred on the subject of women. Her works present held in 2009. But also because her art practice forms various images of femininity and different types of part of a newer tendency in Japanese contemporary art women, but in a way which challenges existing gender which refers to or interacts with social and economical roles.

  • Photographic Expression in Japan (2009)
    Photographic Expression in Japan (2009) Kotaro Iizawa（Photographic Critic） Due to the impact of the simultaneous slowdown of the world economy in the autumn of 2008, 2009 was an exceptionally difficult year economically. Fields with deep ties to photography, such as advertising and publishing, were struck particularly hard, and I frequently hear stories, too, of how the livelihood of photographers is becoming threatened. However, the harsh economic situation and society’s siege mentality cannot entirely be said to have been reflected directly in the sphere of photographic expression. Instead, it could be said that it is precisely in gloomy situations such as this that the fundamental strength of photography is freshly questioned. Looking at the situation regarding the publication of photographic collections or staging of photographic exhibitions in 2009, activity was in fact more vigorous than in the past, and of this we believe there were also much of high quality. The huge wave of “digitalization” that has exerted a clear effect since we entered the 2000s has also settled down, and works exhibiting firm mastery of the new media and technology are beginning to stand out. Major Photographic Awards The 34th Ihei Kimura Award was presented to Masashi Asada for his photographic collection “Asadake (The Asada Family)” (Akaakasha), which comprises two photographic series: “dress-up photographs” of the photographer, his parents, and elder brother in the costumes of various occupations, from fire fighters to rock’n rollers; and commemorative photographic poses from the Asada family album. The collection is an experiment in new “family photos” that physically and critically questions the image of the modern family within which lies a sense of danger.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE JAPAN PAVILION at the 53rd International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia Miwa Yanagi Windswept Women: The Old Girls' Troupe Commissioner: Hiroshi Minamishima Miwa Yanagi represents Japan at the 53rd Venice Biennale with her installation entitled Windswept Women: The Old Girls’ Troupe. For this installation, Yanagi will take the Takamasa Yoshizaka-designed Japan Pavilion built in 1956 and cover its exterior with a black, membrane-like tent. Invoking the original idea of a “pavilion” as a free standing or temporary structure, the fluidity and mobility of the tent form will turn the Japan Pavilion into a temporary playhouse. Inside, Yanagi will install giant 4m high photograph stands containing portraits of women of varied ages. A new video work and series of small photographs will also be shown. Upon entering, viewers will feel disoriented, losing their sense of scale and perspective as they walk among oversized works. The motif of this installation is a troupe comprised exclusively of women traveling with their mobile house—a tent—on the top of their caravan. This tent, inspired by the novels of Japanese modernist writer Kobo Abe, has already appeared in Yanagi’s previous Fairy Tales (2004-05) series of staged photographs, and has been a key to expressing ambivalent themes such as the tensions between “life and death,” “past and future,” “confinement and mobility” and “everyday life and festival.” The photographs of gigantic women Yanagi has created for Venice symbolize resolution. They stand unmoved despite being surrounded by turbulent wind. No matter happens, they will keep their feet planted firmly on the ground.

O’Leary and compiled by Anat Icar-Shoham, Patricia Lenz, and Shir Yeffet Overview and Introduction The first daguerreotypes and cameras arrived in Japan in 1848, less than a decade after the invention of photography in the West. From that moment on, photography has remained a central aspect of Japanese visual culture, ranging from the portrait studios of Yokohama to the contemporary photographers of today. The history of photography in Japan is as intertwined with its visual and popular culture, as it is in Europe and the United States. The study of Japanese photography in Europe and the United States has been growing steadily since the end of World War Two and, in particular, since 1974 when the Museum of Modern Art in New York held its New Japanese Photography exhibition curated by John Szarkowski and Yamagishi Shōji. This exhibition featured photographers such as Domon Ken, Hosoe Eikoh, Tōmatsu Shōmei, and Moriyama Daidō, names that will be familiar to anyone with an interest in the history of Japanese photography.
