Course coordinators, and course consultants/speakers, where appropriate, will evaluate projects and offer feedback to course participants. In addition, all projects must be forwarded to the STI to appropriately archive teacher learning through the institute. • All projects should integrate classroom practice where appropriate; should indicate how student learning will take place; and should be age and grade appropriate. • Journal, reflection or research projects should demonstrate a depth of reflection on the course content rather than a summary of the course. • Art or technology projects should be digitally documented through photo or video with accompanying reflection. • Written projects must be a minimum of three pages, excluding booklists and bibliography, and be submitted in typed form.

Hayashiya Imamaru, a kamikiri artist with a career spanning some sixty years, says, “The ori- gins of kamikiri can be seen in katashiro paper effi- gies of humans or animals used in Shinto purifica- tion rites. But it was in the Edo period (1603–1867) that it was established as a performance art.

  • The Influence of Traditional Japanese Theater, Culture, and Aesthetics On
    STAGE AND SCREAM: THE INFLUENCE OF TRADITIONAL JAPANESE THEATER, CULTURE, AND AESTHETICS ON JAPAN’S CINEMA OF THE FANTASTIC John E. Petty, B.M. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2011 APPROVED: Harry Benshoff, Major Professor George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Timothy Wilson, Committee Member William M. Tsutsui, Committee Member C. Melinda Levin, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Petty, John E. Stage and Scream: The Influence of Traditional Japanese Theater, Culture, and Aesthetics on Japan’s Cinema of the Fantastic. Master of Science (Radio, Television and Film), May 2011, 189 pp., 42 illustrations, bibliography, 98 titles. Although widely viewed in the West, Japanese films are often misunderstood, as they are built on cultural, theatrical, and aesthetic traditions entirely foreign to Western audiences. Particularly in regards to Japan’s “fantastic” cinema – including giant monster pictures, ghost stories, and “J-Horror” films – what is often perceived as “cheap” or “cheesy” is merely an expression of these unique cultural roots. By observing and exploring such cultural artifacts as kabuki, noh, and bunraku – the traditional theatrical forms of Japan – long-standing literary traditions, deeply embedded philosophical beliefs, and even more recent developments such as the controversial dance form butoh, these films, including Gojira (1954), Daimajin (1966), Kwaidan (1964), Onibaba (1964), Testuo the Iron Man (1989), and Ju-On (2002), can be placed in their proper perspective, leading to a reevaluation of their worth not merely as commercial products, but as uniquely Japanese expressions of that society’s unique place in world culture.

  • Noh Theater in the Garden, Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony 2019, and Other Performances and Experience-Based Workshops to Take Place in Different Parts of Tokyo
    September 20, 2019 Arts Council Tokyo Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture A wide variety of programs for foreign visitors from outside Japan to be provided in the autumn Noh theater in the garden, Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony 2019, and other performances and experience-based workshops to take place in different parts of Tokyo Based on the theme “Approaching Tokyo Tradition,” the Arts Council Tokyo, Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture offers diverse programs for people who are not familiar with Japan’s traditional arts and culture, as well as for international tourists and children to enjoy authentic Japanese traditional culture. An intensive series of traditional culture experience programs for foreign visitors will take place, mainly targeting tourists coming to Japan to enjoy as casual the Japanese autumn. One of them, “Noh Theater in the Garden—Experience Japanese Beauty in an Urban Forest,” is to be held on Friday, 11th and Saturday, 12th October, on a special stage set up in the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum’s urban grove. The themes of this open-air garden event in the midst of an urban landscape are “the mountains” and “the sea.” The first evening features “Kurozuka” (The Black Mound), and the following day presents “Funa-Benkei” (Benkei in a Boat). Both are dynamic pieces and Noh staples, with themes that explore humanity. English subtitles and commentary will be provided to help non-Japanese speakers to enjoy the performances more. In addition, a special workshop will be held before each performance to provide visitors with the opportunity to experience Noh tools and musical instruments.
