SUMMARY:KojiFest 2019
DESCRIPTION:#kojifest2019 is an ongoing series of events hosted by culturesgroup. Expect to learn\, ask questions\, and taste and enjoy great food and drink. \nEach #kojifest2019 event includes different guest presenters and participants sharing and sampling different fermented and handmade foods\, most made with a koji-centric item such as miso\, shio-koji\, or tamari. The events focus on methods and examples of how koji can elevate the taste and nutritional benefits of local and regional foods. Through rapid\, or traditional longer term methods koji can be used to enhance taste\, ferment food or preserve taste for a later time – sometimes years. Koji and other microbes are used throughout the world in many cuisines to create local\, regional and sustainable food and drinks. \nKoji is the most commonly used word to describe Aspergillus oryzae\, a malted mushroom type of microbe that is an enzymatic powerhouse. There are other types of koji that are also members of the Aspergillus family that have their own unique characteristics. Koji has been used for thousands of years but recently with inspired intent to create opportunities for people to share the pleasures and benefits of food and knowledge of how things are made. You might not know how to cook\, or even want to\, but the artistic\, semiotic\, cultural\, and ethnological background of everything shared during #kojifest2019 will inspire you to become more curious and become more informed. \nPresenters will provide tastings of foods that use koji or other fermentation techniques. These include misos\, shoyu\, shio-koji and how the enzymes created by koji can quickly or over time create incredible tastes and nutritional benefits.Some things will be lightly dressed with a probiotic rich sauce\, others will be deeply flavored misos or sauces that highlight a fresh ingredient or can be eaten on top of or in cooked grains\, beans\, vegetable based proteins and sweet desserts. \n\n\n\n\nThe menu for this event is wild. Mallory O’Donnell\, Aline Bessa and Ken Fornataro have been foraging\, fermenting and preparing for this event that will include these things (maybe subs since some stuff is sustainably foraged): \n\n\n\n\n\nMushrooms Fermented in Maple Sap with Wild Herbs\nWild Greens Pkhali\nPorcini Black Trumpet and Leek Nuta with Homemade Miso\, Vinegar and Wild Seed Mustard\nWild Mushroom and Mushroom Miso Tapenade\nSweet simmered miso\nBlack beans with smoked mushroom bacon\nTucupi miso soup (a fermented yuca broth\, szechuan buttons (jambu)\, cilantro and spring vegetable\nNut cheese using miso made with sour tapioca starch\nYucca rolls (vegan pães de queijo)\nPuba (fermented yucca) pudim with miso caramel\nPickles (kumquat and carrot\, shio-koji cucumbers\, tempero baiano style mushrooms)\nRice\, garnished (eggplant chutney\, date and ginger douchi\, cashew\, garlic\, herb pesto) \nMushroom Tea\n\nTwo very talented contributors of new and exciting things to the ongoing food conversation are joining Chef Ken Fornataro for this event.

SUMMARY:MUNY #3: What We Can Learn from the Circulation and Transformation of Boys Love (BL) Media around Asia
DESCRIPTION:Header Image by Penguin Frontier. Used with permission. Copyright 2013. Website: https://www.facebook.com/PenguinFrontier/ \nThursday\, May 16\, 2019 – James Welker presenting on “What We Can Learn from the Circulation and Transformation of Boys Love (BL) Media around Asia” \nPlease RSVP here if you plan on joining us!\n(You must RSVP before attending this event.) \n\nCreated by and for adolescent girls and women\, boys love (BL) media\, depicting romantic and sexual relationships between males\, took root in commercial shōjo manga (girls’ comics) magazines in Japan in the early 1970s. BL quickly spread into other commercial and fan-produced media forms\, including dōjinshi (fanzines)\, “light novels\,” anime\, “drama CDs\,” live action films\, collectible figures\, and video games. With an estimated annual domestic market size in the 2010s of around US$190 million\, BL media clearly has a pronounced presence in Japanese popular culture today. By the early 2000s BL media was becoming a global media phenomenon\, encompassing pirated and licensed translations and locally-produced works. \nOwing perhaps to cultural and geographic proximity\, BL media has found a particularly receptive home in many parts of Asia\, where it has often taken on new meanings and had different fan bases and cultural effects from in its country of origin. After briefly reviewing the emergence of BL and its impact in Japan\, in this talk I will analyze the work of over a dozen scholars researching BL media to discuss the varied sociocultural effects of BL media around East\, Southeast\, and South Asia\, which I am currently compiling into a collection provisionally entitled Queer Transfigurations: Boys Love Media in Asia. These effects range from helping female BL fans reconsider their attitudes towards romance\, sex\, and sexuality in India and the Philippines\, to affecting attitudes about and representation of the LGBTQ community\, including same-sex marriage\, in Indonesia\, Taiwan\, and Thailand\, to facilitating new forms of cultural exchange across the region. \n\nAbout the Lecturer\n\n\n\n\n\nJames Welker\n\nJames Welker is a professor in the Department of Cross-Cultural Studies at Kanagawa University. His research examines gender and sexuality in postwar and contemporary Japan\, including the lesbian community\, radical feminism\, and queer media consumption and production. He is the author of Transfigurations: Feminists\, Lesbians\, and Shōjo Manga Fans in Late Twentieth-Century Japan (Hawai‘i\, forthcoming)\, and co-editor of Rethinking Japanese Feminisms (Hawai‘i\, 2018; with Julia C. Bullock and Ayako Kano)\, Boys Love Manga and Beyond: History\, Culture\, and Community in Japan (Mississippi 2015; with Mark McLelland\, Kazumi Nagaike\, and Katsuhiko Suganuma)\, and Queer Voices from Japan (Lexington\, 2007; with Mark McLelland and Katsuhiko Suganuma). His current projects include editing a volume on the circulation and consumption of boys love (BL) media—media of Japanese origin that depicts male–male intimacy for female fans—around Asia\, editing a special issue of the Asian popular cultural studies journal Mechademia on “Queer(ing)\,” and a collaborative research project supported by a grant from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science with Fujimoto Yukari\, Kazumi Nagaike\, and Ishida Hitoshi on queer manga and anime narratives\, global fans\, and LGBTQ issues around the world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout MUNY\nThe Manga University of New York (MUNY) offers a series of lectures on manga/comics by professionals\, including artists\, scholars\, educators\, publishers\, translators\, critics\, and others who are engaged with manga from multiple perspectives. We hope to deepen the knowledge of the medium\, industry\, education\, and culture surrounding manga in North American or other contexts in dialogue with the invited experts. We welcome everyone to participate and be a part of discussion while enjoying delightful meals and drinks available at RESOBOX! \nMUNY has evolved from and works in conjunction with MaRRN (Manga Research and Reading Network). \nSign up for our newsletter here!

SUMMARY:How I Created my own Manga in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Fascinated with Japan from an early age\, American Benjamin Boas first learned the language via manga and video games\, and then penned a comic of his own. Loosely translated as ‘I Learned about Japan from Manga and Video Games’\, this entertaining tome recounts Ben’s experiences in manga form\, and should be easy enough to understand even if your Japanese reading skills aren’t perfect. For this talk and book signing\, the author will speak about how his love of Japanese pop culture brought him to Japan and led him to create his very own comic. It’ll include tips on studying Japanese\, the process of publication in Japan and much more!

SUMMARY:Unique Sushi Roll Workshop Vol. 16 Peach Flower and California Roll
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for spring with these delicious sushi rolls! At this workshop\, we’ll be making everyone’s favorite California roll as well as a unique peach flower sushi roll! Impress your friends with what you learn about this Kazari Maki-Zushi class! These two kinds of character sushi for this class are made with natural ingredients (as listed below) that taste great\, just like regular sushi! By manipulating the natural colors of each ingredient\, you can design an interesting and delicious sushi piece. The cute designs on these Spring sushi can be made easily\, so no sushi-making experience is required and it’s a good way to impress your friends at any party! \nIngredients\nPeach flower \n\nSushi Rice\nBeets\nSeafood Cheese Sticks\nSpinach\nSeaweed\nSesame seeds\n\nCalifornia roll \n\nSushi Rice\nSmoked Salmon\nAvocado\nCucumber\nCream Cheese\nSeaweed\nSesame Seeds\nCrab Sticks\n\nIn this class\, we’ll be teaching participants how to make the classic California roll as well as unique sushi rolls called Kazari Maki-Zushi. Kazari Maki-Zushi is a patterned or decorative sushi that is derived from the several sushi techniques such as Saiku sushi and Futomaki sushi. It is undoubtedly sushi\, but the appearance and design of each roll are filled with endless possibilities! A Kazari Maki-Zushi’s design can be anything – flowers\, fruit\, animals\, words and even logos! Whatever your creativeness allows\, Kazari Maki-Zushi can be almost anything. Using various natural colors of ingredients you see every day\, Kazari Maki-Zushi is a fun way to play around with sushi designs. This food/art form has been developed for over 150 years\, and still\, new ideas are created everyday in Japan. And it’s even a great way to show off your artistic skills at parties or potlucks! \nAlthough it looks difficult\, this decorative sushi is very simple and easy to make! No prior experience is necessary as it involves a different process than creating regular sushi. Making Kazari Maki-Zushi is much like building with Legos\, where each piece is stacked to make a picture!  \nKazari Maki-Sushi represents an important unique aspect in Japanese food –  not only in taste\, but also in the beautiful visual appearance that serves to please those who enjoy it. Making Kazari Maki-Zushi is also a great way to enjoy company\, whether it be friends or family and is especially popular with kids! Even if your homemade Kazari Maki-Zushi isn’t well-prepared\, the process of making and seeing your finished pieces on the dining table creates joy for all who see (and eat!) it. \nFor more workshops in this series\, visit our Japanese Cooking Workshop and Kazari Maki-Zushi Workshop Series page.

SUMMARY:KojiFest 2019
DESCRIPTION:#kojifest2019 is an ongoing series of events hosted by culturesgroup. Expect to learn\, ask questions\, and taste and enjoy great food and drink. \nEach #kojifest2019 event includes different guest presenters and participants sharing and sampling different fermented and handmade foods\, most made with a koji-centric item such as miso\, shio-koji\, or tamari. The events focus on methods and examples of how koji can elevate the taste and nutritional benefits of local and regional foods. Through rapid\, or traditional longer term methods koji can be used to enhance taste\, ferment food or preserve taste for a later time – sometimes years. Koji and other microbes are used throughout the world in many cuisines to create local\, regional and sustainable food and drinks. \nKoji is the most commonly used word to describe Aspergillus oryzae\, a malted mushroom type of microbe that is an enzymatic powerhouse. There are other types of koji that are also members of the Aspergillus family that have their own unique characteristics. Koji has been used for thousands of years but recently with inspired intent to create opportunities for people to share the pleasures and benefits of food and knowledge of how things are made. You might not know how to cook\, or even want to\, but the artistic\, semiotic\, cultural\, and ethnological background of everything shared during #kojifest2019 will inspire you to become more curious and become more informed. \nPresenters will provide tastings of foods that use koji or other fermentation techniques. These include misos\, shoyu\, shio-koji and how the enzymes created by koji can quickly or over time create incredible tastes and nutritional benefits.Some things will be lightly dressed with a probiotic rich sauce\, others will be deeply flavored misos or sauces that highlight a fresh ingredient or can be eaten on top of or in cooked grains\, beans\, vegetable based proteins and sweet desserts. \n\n\n\n\nThe menu for this event is wild. Mallory O’Donnell\, Aline Bessa and Ken Fornataro have been foraging\, fermenting and preparing for this event that will include these things (maybe subs since some stuff is sustainably foraged): \n\n\n\n\n\nMushrooms Fermented in Maple Sap with Wild Herbs\nWild Greens Pkhali\nPorcini Black Trumpet and Leek Nuta with Homemade Miso\, Vinegar and Wild Seed Mustard\nWild Mushroom and Mushroom Miso Tapenade\nSweet simmered miso\nBlack beans with smoked mushroom bacon\nTucupi miso soup (a fermented yuca broth\, szechuan buttons (jambu)\, cilantro and spring vegetable\nNut cheese using miso made with sour tapioca starch\nYucca rolls (vegan pães de queijo)\nPuba (fermented yucca) pudim with miso caramel\nPickles (kumquat and carrot\, shio-koji cucumbers\, tempero baiano style mushrooms)\nRice\, garnished (eggplant chutney\, date and ginger douchi\, cashew\, garlic\, herb pesto) \nMushroom Tea\n\nTwo very talented contributors of new and exciting things to the ongoing food conversation are joining Chef Ken Fornataro for this event.

SUMMARY:Karuta & Hyakunin-Isshu Class
DESCRIPTION:Karuta & Hyakunin-Isshu\nKaruta is a traditional card game that uses the Hyakunin Isshu\, 100 designated poems from the Heian era (794-1185 AD)\, and makes a 1v1 game similar to the card game “Speed.” If you can read Hiragana\, you can play\, and if you can’t read\, we will teach you! \nKaruta has been made popular once again from the well-known manga and anime\, “Chihayafuru.” We hope that fans of the show and manga will join our class to learn the game\, improve their skills or even to meet other fans! \nSee Karuta in action in the video below! \n \n\n Class Program\nAll classes are open to participants regardless of knowledge of Karuta or Japanese. \n\n9:00am: Screen an episode of Chihayafuru\n9:30am: Review previously learned poems with mini game\n10:00am: Introduce new poems\n10:30am: Play a short game with new and old poem\n11:00am: Pack up\n\n\nThings to bring (optional)\n\nIf you have cards please bring them (I suggest labeling the back in sharpie)\nKnee pads recommended (we will have some cushions as well)\nClothes you can move freely in\n\n  \n\n\n  \nAmidst the COVID-19 pandemic\, KarutaNYC was unable to meet in person. In response\, we decided to start online sessions to not only practice virtually\, but to deepen the connections between Karuta players around the world. \n\n\nCurrently\, we host regular practice sessions at different times on Saturday and Sunday to accommodate players in various timezones. Players join a Zoom call to connect with the group and then break off into breakout rooms to connect with a single player and practice using the free Kyogi Karuta App. \n\nWe hope people will take this opportunity to learn and practice the game\, make new friends\, and have fun. To participate\, please download the Kyogi Karuta App (phone or tablet) and join our Facebook group page for links to meetings and more. \nFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/karutaonline \nKyogi Karuta (App Store): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/competitive-karuta-online/id1456718334 \nKyogi Karuta App (Google Play): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.betacomputing.karuta&hl=en_US

SUMMARY:Japanese Sweets Workshop Vol. 1 Dorayaki (Bean Paste Pancake)
DESCRIPTION:Dorayaki is a traditional Japanese sweet that is made of azuki (red bean paste) sandwiched in between two small pancakes. As a common Japanese snack\, dorayaki has a mildly sweet taste perfect for all ages! \nSince sweet azuki paste takes quite a long time to make\, we will be using ready-made red bean paste in this class. Each Japanese pancake is made of flour\, egg\, honey\, sugar\, mirin (Japanese seasoning) and baking soda. Several pancake fillings will be prepared and participants will be able to choose their own favorite filling! Participants will also be able to mark their dorayaki with a cute symbol. Everyone is invited to use their own artistic inspirations to create a one-of-a-kind design for their dorayaki. \nDorayaki go great as gifts for people who love sweets\, and go very well with a cup of hot Japanese green tea too!

SUMMARY:立川こしらニューヨーク落語会 (Kosira in New York: Rakugo Performance)
DESCRIPTION:落語界の異端! 立川流真打 立川こしら師匠、ニューヨーク初落語会\n立川志らくの一番弟子。しかし、師匠の志らくが暖めておいた高座名「志ら乃（シラノ・ド・ベルジュラックを参照のこと）」を与えてもらえなかった。（尚、「志ら乃」は現在弟弟子が名乗っている）。ラジオでは志らくの弟子であることをときどき強調するが普段はほとんど口にしない。 \n前座当時は談志門下に雷門獅篭（当時・立川志加吾）がおり、同じアパートの階違いで住んでいたこともあってか、彼の漫画『風とマンダラ』の登場人物として、作者と立川キウイに次ぐ出演回数で登場していた。 \n地毛で短髪の落語家の多い中、金髪、長髪、茶髪など不定期にヘアアレンジを行う。一度スプレーで白髪にした経歴がある。\n先輩の落語家にも反抗するため、師匠・志らく同様、落語界に敵も多い。 \n独自のページデザインや映像製作などを手がける「合同会社第プロ」の主宰。 \n同門の立川志ららと組んだ漫才コンビ「カラッペタンズ」としてやDJとして番組を持つ。 \nコカ・コーラがトレードマークになるくらいの無類のコーラ好き。手ぬぐいにコカ・コーラのデザインをもじったものが存在する（落語で使用されるめくりなどの寄席文字は基本的に名前を縦書きなので、「こしら」を「こーら」と読み間違える人も少なくない）。 \n真打昇進のニュースが流れた正に同時期、大師匠である談志が死去した。よってこしらと弟弟子の志ら乃のみが、談志存命中に真打昇進が決まっていた孫弟子となった。 \nゲームマニアで最近では艦隊これくしょんを無課金でユーザーランキング80位に食い込み横須賀鎮守府の提督を与えられた。\nGoogle Niantic Labsが提供するスマートフォンゲーム「Ingress」のプレイヤーであることを公表しているほか、Ingressのあるあるネタを用いた落語を2015年6月20日、宮城県仙台市太白区あすと長町 ゼビオアリーナ仙台で行われた公式イベントの「Persepolis XM Anomaly Primary: Tohoku Japan」で披露した。 \nPokemon GOもベータ版からプレイ。地域限定ポケモンをゲットするためと銘打ち、落語の海外公演を行っている。\n（ウィキべディアより抜粋） \n\n\n\n発起人より~バッグひとつで来てくれる師匠\n\n\n\n\n\n\n関西出身なので江戸落語については本当に知らない。ここ数 年の落語を聴くきっかけは、動画の立川談志師匠『芝浜』だっ た。ポッドキャストやら動画やらとバーチャル体験のみ。直近 で唯一観たのがヒューストン落語会での立川こしら師匠。 このこしら師匠の落語会を行きがかり上自分が開くことにな った。 \n渡航費滞在費、師匠持ちという初回開催者への特典付き。ただ、発起人が人望人脈ゼロ、好きなものそれはオフトゥ ンくらいの行動力で、他の地域の落語会の結束度とはけた違 いのマイナススタートだ。 \nじゃあやめとけよですが、どうしてもこしら師匠の落語が聴きたい。それも師匠が初めて踏み込む 場所での落語が聴けるのは、ファンにとって一生一度のチャ ンスなのである。何が聴けるのか、目撃したい。そしてこの面白さを、一緒にシ ェアする方が来てくれないかと心底願っている。 普段暮らしていて、カッコいいとか胸を打つセリフやシーンは見聞きしない。それが日常生活だ。だけど、師匠のSNSを覗く と毎日何かをしている。だいたい何かを売っている。それは地 方の落語会でぽかっと空いた1日であったり、自らの弟子の命 名権をオークションにかけたり、UBER EATSに突然登録して自 ら自転車に乗りフードデリバリーしたり、コメ作りをしていた りする。 \n師匠の行動じたいが、与太郎やら、頼れる兄貴、お殿 様が一話で登場する、落語そのもののスピード感を感じて、目 が離せない。 1月19日にはその特異なライフスタイルが詰まった本『その落 語家、住所不定。タンスはアマゾン、家のない生き方』(光文 社)が出版される。身軽すぎて住処さえ持たない落語家に、一度会いに来てください。 \n\n\n\n2019年立川こしらニューヨーク落語会運営責任者SASA SHUKO\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMultiple talented Rakugo Star Performer\, Kosira Tatekawa\, also a master of Pokemon Go and Ingress\, will be holding his first show in New York! You won’t be able to resist laughing at his hilarious performance. Don’t miss out! \n*Please note that these performances will be done all in Japanese. \n \n\n～オトナなら思いっきり楽しめる夜～\n3/29 (金) RESOBOX East Village – 91 E 3rd street\, New York\n開場: 7:30pm\n開演: 8:00pm\n終演予定: 10:00pm \nチケット\n一般:＄25.00\n学生：$15.00＊\n17歳以下不可\n＊学生の方は入場時学生証をご持参ください \nお問い合わせ、お申込みは\nnyshukosasarakugo.2019@gmail.com または www.facebook.com/shuko.sasaまで \n\nR-rated Rakugo Kai\n3/29 (Friday) RESOBOX East Village – – 91 E 3rd street\, New York \nDoors open: 7:30pm\nOpening: 8:00pm\nEnding: 10:00pm \nTickets \nGeneral: $25\nStudent: $15* \nFor students 17 and younger only.\n*Must show student ID at the door. \nPlease contact nyshukosasarakugo.2019@gmail.com or www.facebook.com/shuko.sasa for inquiries.
