DESCRIPTION:We’re bringing our popular Totoro and Penguin Kazari Maki-Zushi workshop back for a fun holiday class! Learn to make these adorable yet delicious animals perfect for the winter season! As you may know\, Totoro is a famous and adorable mystical character from the popular Ghibli film\, My Neighbor Totoro.

These two kinds of animal and 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 sushi can be made easily\, so no sushi-making experience is required and it’s a good way to impress your friends at upcoming parties. \nIngredients\nTotoro \n\nSushi rice (rice vinegar\, sugar\, salt)\nSeaweed\nBeets\nSeafood cheese stick\nBlack sesame seeds\nBlack bean spaghetti\n\nPenguin \n\nSushi rice (rice vinegar\, sugar\, salt)\nSeaweed\nCooked Eggs\nBlack sesame seeds\nSpinach\n\nWhat is Kazari Maki-Zushi?\nKazari 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 page. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Prime Roasted Tea Tasting 2017
DESCRIPTION:We chose premium Roasted tea and Genmai tea from famous tea producing regions of Japan. We want guests to taste the “aroma” before the actual taste. This tasting event will be once in a lifetime experience for any tea fan! Japanese tea is not only Matcha\, Sencha\, and Gyokuro. Can you imagine the taste of tea when tea masters use their professional techniques of roasting and blending? At this event\, you would definitely experience the difference of aroma and taste. \nRoasted Tea\nThe aroma of Roasted tea will remind you of a delicious coffee-like roasting aroma as only high quality tea stems can leave you with clear after-tastes. Usually\, when you drink a cup of a normal roasted tea\, there will be bitterness left on your tongue. However\, our teas have an elegant sweetness using special techniques during the roasting of the tea leaves. \nDespite green tea having a large amount of caffeine\, roasted tea surprisingly does not. So you can enjoy drinking it even before going to bed. It is also safe for children to drink roasted tea. \nGenmai cha\nThe other main tea in this event will be Genmai cha. Genmai-cha is usually made of coarse tea and roasted brown rice. Coarse tea is made of old leaves and hard tea stalks that are picked late season. Most bottled tea in Japan are made from coarse tea and it is popular for ordinary families to drink it every day. Also\, most of tea makers use leftover or damaged brown rice which are first sold for boiled rice purposes. However\, we serve you high quality Genmai-cha this time. These tea are made of high grade roasted tea\, and brown rice which are carefully cropped for tea purposing. For our brown rice\, we use specially selected non-glutinous rice and glutinous rice. Both teas have been known to be exceptionally good combinations to meals. We will prepare food pairings with finger food and Japanese traditional sweets called “Wagashi.” \nYou may or may not have tried Genmai-cha before\, but we definitely know you will enjoy the outstanding aroma and sweetness. \nHoji cha\nRoasted tea is made of Sen cha (the most commonly consumed tea in Japan)\, Kuki cha (the term “Kuki” means “stem”) and coarse tea. We roasted these kinds of tea to bring out a pleasant aroma similar to the taste of coffee. \nWe will serve special roasted tea at this event. The tea is made from carefully picked stems of the first tea leaves harvested of the year. They have strong roasted sweet aroma\, but the after taste is super clear. \n\nPrime Roasted Tea\nThis roasted tea is made from leaves and stems which are the first picked of the year and carefully roasted. The main characteristic of Prime Roasted Tea is its sweet roasted aroma and clear taste. The stem has a bloated shape. This roasted tea is caffeine free\, so you can drink it during the evening\, as so for small children. \n\nMarubi\nThis caffeine-free tea is made by slowly roasting the tea stems to take full advantage of their inherent sweetness. Only the sweetest tea stems are carefully selected before being slowly roasted. By heating the stems evenly and all the way through to the core\, the caffeine can be drawn out while preserving the sweetness. This was tea created so that both parents and toddlers could drink tea together. \n\nStar and Cherry Blossom Roasted Brown Rice Tea\nThe owdered high quality green tea leaves and small rice crackers provide a crispy aroma. This tea is very beneficial to health since the tea leaves are edible. \n\nPrime Roasted Brown Rice Tea\nWe blended sen cha (middle grade green tea) with non-glutinous rice. In addition to well-balanced sweetness and bitterness\, you can enjoy the highly roasted smell. This tea will make you relaxed when you take a sip!\n \n\nYame Matcha Roasted Brown Rice Tea\nWe blended high grade green tea\, non-glutinous rice and glutinous rice and to create a crispy aroma. The beautiful green color comes from the grinded matcha powder added to the tea. In addition\, there are two different kinds of sweet flavors in the tea\, the sweetness of green tea and the sweetness of brown rice. The after-taste is particularly refreshing. This tea also suits for Ochazukei\, a tea over rice Japanese cuisine. \n  \n\nThis event is sponsored by Yame City Hall.

SUMMARY:Japanese Finest Tea Tasting from Yame 2017
DESCRIPTION:Yame city\, Fukuoka prefecture. This area is known for its highest quality of Gyokuro. At this event\, we will serve Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro which has won the award of Ministry of Agriculture at National Tea Competition for 16 consecutive years. The color\, taste\, aroma\, shape of tea leaves are all top tier of the Japanese tea industry. There is only a small amount that can be produced\, thus\, little is seen in the market. \nWe will prepare hot tea and have guests experience the ever changing taste of the tea through the first extraction to the third extraction. We will also prepare “Ice-brew” which will have no bitterness or any other unpleasant tastes. \nIn addition\, we will suggest some food pairing ideas that make great combinations with Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro. Once you sip this tea\, your taste buds will feel a rich umami and sweetness. But the after taste will remain clear and elegant. You may not even believe that it’s tea! There has been years of research and experiments by artisans that led to this marvelous rich tea. \nWe also are going to offer prime Roasted tea and Genmai tea from Yame. These two teas have rich and crispy aroma\, clear after-taste and soft sweetness which are the perfect drinks to warm you up in the Autumn season. Tea is not only limited to being a daily beverage. This event is a chance to enjoy the real authentic taste of luxury Japanese teas which are produced by traditional craftsmanship and technique. \n \nWhat is Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro?\nCultivating gyokuro tea is not only detailed and specific\, it also requires consummate skill and years of experience\, plus a knack for reading the future. You need to have fortune on your side too. That’s why fewer and fewer places grow the tea anymore. \nBut Yame remains Japan’s leading producer of gyokuro\, accounting for more than 50 percent of the country’s output and setting the gold standard for quality. Gyokuro is grown in mountain valleys where there is little sunlight\, and the bushes are not pruned but left to grow naturally. To protect them from the sun\, the entire field is covered with screens. This increases the content of theanine― the amino acid that gives green tea its distinctive taste ― and thus yields the sweet\, full-bodied flavor characteristic of gyokuro. In Yame\, when 1-1.5 new shoots appear\, woven straw screens are stretched over a framework of concrete pillars and pipes to cover the plants. \n \nToday\, synthetic fiber is used almost everywhere elsewhere gyokuro is grown\, but Yame’s farmers adhere to traditional methods\, despite the extra effort involved\, because synthetic fiber raises the temperature in the field too much. In fact\, Yame is the only tea-producing region in Japan where such screens are still made of straw\, and only here are machines for weaving them still found. At first the plants are 85 percent shaded; then\, during the ten days before harvesting\, the farmer gradually sprinkles straw over the framework while observing subtle changes in the tea leaves and noting the temperature and weather\, until finally the field is 98 percent shaded. \nPutting the plants under moderate stress by blocking the sunlight stimulates translocation of nutrients and causes the young shoots to develop slowly. They strive to grow upward\, and that striving is the source of the tea’s excellent flavor. Having been cultivated with such painstaking effort and loving care\, the gyokuro is then harvested. Again an unusual technique is used. \nOnce four or five leaves have opened\, just the uppermost section of the stem is picked with the two accompanying leaves\, a task that can only be accomplished by hand. During actual picking the back of the stem is slowly bent with the ball of the finger until it gently snaps\, and then carefully placed in a bamboo basket. \n \nWith the finest gyokuro\, attractiveness of appearance is also important. The harvested leaves are then steamed to halt the action of the enzymes and thus prevent any further change in the compounds contained in the leaves. Fine adjustments must be made during the steaming process so that the tea turns out just right\, and that too takes experience and intuition. Having been steamed\, the leaves are then separated\, rolled\, and finally formed into an attractive needle shape by seasoned craftsmen. \nThus Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro is special in every regard. Its beautiful appearance\, deep\, complex flavor\, and distinctive aroma are the product of the finest craftsmanship backed up by the dedication\, passion\, meticulous care\, and extensive experience of the people who produce it. \nYame Dentou Hon Gyokuro\nThis event is sponsored by Yame City Hall.

SUMMARY:The Burns Archive Presents the Art of Japanese Hand Painted Photography
DESCRIPTION:A rare look at a jewel of the Burns Archive collection\, topped off with a sampling of sake.\nThe Atlas Obscura is hosting an event for our current exhibition\, Fujisan: the Eternal Symbol of Japan this coming Thursday\, October 26\, 2017 including a mini lecture and tasting. \n\nJoin us for an intimate viewing into the colorfully kaleidoscopic world of everyday life in Japan at our special sake reception\, led by the esteemed Stanley B. Burns\, M.D. of the Burns Archive & Collection. \nJapan\, an island nation isolated until the mid-nineteenth century\, opened its doors to foreign photographers in the 1860s. It was those early photographers who gained access to Meiji Japan\, and the wonders within. And while other photographers during that time typically were making sepia-toned prints\, these photographers in Japan took advantage of local artists to have their prints uniquely and exquisitely hand-painted. In fact\, many photographs were executed so well they rivaled modern color photography. \nThese unusual photographs are a part of an incredibly treasured collection of images from the mid-19th century through the 1950s know as “The Burns Archive” and are not typically available for public viewing. Stanley B. Burns\, M.D. is renowned for The Burns Archive\, his own private and extensive collection of photographs\, especially those documenting early medical practices. \nWe’ll be meeting at RESOBOX\, a gathering place for Japanese art\, where their current exhibition on FUJISAN: ETERNAL SYMBOL OF JAPAN features a selection from The Burns Archive of hand-painted photographs all focused on the iconic Mt. Fuji. \nIncluded your admission is a signed copy of the catalog\, Setting Sun: Painted Photographs of Meiji Japan. Within the book are 160 fascinating photographs\, curated from tourist albums and presented in the sequence most typical to the era. \nDETAILS\n\nIncluded in the price of your ticket is the Setting Sun: Painted Photographs of Meiji Japan book\, signed by Stanley B. Burns\, M.D.\nIndividual Ticket + Signed Copy of Setting Sun: Painted Photographs of Meiji Japan: $50.\nDuo Ticket (2 tickets + 1 signed book): $75.\nLecture led by Dr. Burns\, with a sake and snack reception before and after.\n\nABOUT THE BURNS COLLECTION & ARCHIVE\nFrom the birth of photography through the modern age\, with more than one million historic photographs\, The Burns Archive provides photographic evidence of forgotten\, unseen\, and disquieting aspects of history. It was established in 1975 by Stanley B. Burns\, MD\, FACS\, a New York City ophthalmologist and photo-historian. For over forty years\, thousands of publishers\, exhibitors\, authors\, researchers\, artists and filmmakers have utilized this unique source of visual documentation. The Archive is best known for images of the darker side of life – death\, disease\, crime\, racism\, revolution and war – however\, a large part of the collection depicts aspects of social and cultural life. A favorite and compelling category are nineteenth-century Japanese hand-painted photographs. \nDr. Burns and his daughter Elizabeth have co-authored two books on Japanese photographic history\, Setting Sun: Painted Photographs of Meiji Japan (2017) and Geisha: A Photographic History 1872-1912 (2002)\, which explores the life and culture of Geisha during the Meiji Era. They have produced multiple exhibitions of Japanese photography\, including many at the RESOBOX Gallery\, Geisha: The Golden Years 1870-1890 (2002)\, Working Life in Meiji Japan (2013)\, Japan – An Island Nation: 1870-1890 (2014)\, Japanese Ritual Industry: Silk\, Rice & Tea (2015)\, and Worship in Meiji Era Japan (2016). \nAdvance Tickets Only. All Sales Final. No Refunds or Exchanges.

SUMMARY:Manga University of New York (MUNY)
DESCRIPTION:Upcoming Event\n\nTBA – Coming soon!\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! \nThe MUNY has evolved from and works in conjunction with MaRRN (Manga Research and Reading Network). \nSign up for our newsletter here!\n\nPrevious Events\n\nThursday\, May 16\, 2019 – James Welker presenting on “What We Can Learn from the Circulation and Transformation of Boys Love (BL) Media around Asia“\n\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\nSunday\, March 11\, 2018 – Lauren Scanlan and Deron Bennett presenting on Ichi-F by Kazuto Tatsuta (Please RSVP here if you plan on joining us!)\n\nThe March 11\, 2011 tsunami and earthquake upended the Tohoku area of Japan\, causing meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant and devastating the surrounding region. Kazuto Tatsuta\, then an aspiring mangaka\, took an interest in the cleanup and restoration efforts\, eventually joining them himself and documenting his experiences in the graphic memoir Ichi-F. What began as a brief “work report” eventually became a vital and rare public record of what is still an extremely secretive cleanup effort. In light of its historic importance and unique storytelling\, Kodansha Comics decided that it was essential that Ichi-F be translated into English – but this is just the beginning of the story. Join Kodansha Comics editor Lauren Scanlan as she discusses the singular challenges involved with bringing Ichi-F to the English-speaking world. \n\n\nFriday\, October 13\, 2017 – Dr. Hiromi Tsuchiya Dollase presenting on “Mother Horror in Japanese Shōjo manga”\n\nSince its emergence in the 1950s\, shōjo manga has functioned as a medium to mirror girl readers’ psyches.  With fantasy as a weapon\, young manga artists have explored new expressions of love\, power and femininity\, while shōjo horror manga have represented the dark regions of young girls’ hidden emotions and subconscious fears.  A frequently occurring motif is that of mothers\, who are often portrayed in metamorphosis\, transforming into grotesque creatures\, animals\, and demons\, threatening their daughters with their abominable presence.   The presentation will discuss how\, through horrifying representations of mothers\, manga artists express girls’ fears toward their mothers as well as the idea of becoming mothers themselves.  Manga works by artists such as Umezu Kazuo\, Yamagishi Ryōko\, and Hagio Moto will be examined.

SUMMARY:Calling All Crocheters For Our FOURTH Annual Amigurumi Exhibition This December in NY!
DESCRIPTION:Since our previous three World Amigurumi Exhibition (2014 | 2015 | 2016) have been so successful\, we’re bringing it back and calling all talented crochet artists for our fourth exhibition! \nOur goal is to completely fill our gallery space with at least 3\,000 amigurumi. We want to turn the gallery into an “amigurumi room”\, filled to the brim with cuddly and cute! This is a unique exhibition in that it’s not displaying an individual artist\, but a concept. The concept\, amigurumi\, is a culture that began in Japan\, but is now cherished by crocheters all over the world. We were so inspired by the amount of amigurumi artists out there that we decided to embark on a journey to create an exhibition showcasing the united\, global love of this cute craft! To make this a successful exhibit\, we need amigurumi contributions from crocheters everywhere! \nGo on a video tour of last year’s World Amigurumi Exhibition! \n\n\n\n\nExhibition Theme Description – Daily Life –\nIn the previous years\, we’ve asked artists to create amigurumi that represented their region and amigurumi that were made of unconventional items and we were excited to receive all different kinds of creations. This year\, we’ve decided to take it a step further and ask artists to create anthropomorphic amigurumi that may be used in daily life. \nAmong many characteristics in this unique crochet culture\, amigurumi is one of the more special ones that you can play around with. Although they are generally known to be cute dolls or stuffed animals that are often used for display or given to children\, there are rare moments when we sometimes see amigurumi that can actually be used in our daily lives. For this year’s exhibition\, we would like to take a close look at this characteristic and explore the further possibilities of amigurumi such as how it is incorporated in our life. There are many dolls in the world that resemble us as human beings and stuffed animals that become our good friends\, but amigurumi could play a variety of roles for us while keeping their doll-like shapes (face\, body\, arms\, and legs). \nIn Japan\, these kinds of functional craft art are used in daily life at home and are sometimes called “Okan Art.” Okan is a way of saying “Mother” in friendly sense\, particularly stressing on the idea of a mother’s maternity period as well as a respect to her as a mother. It doesn’t necessarily require an actual mother creating the art\, but it represents a type of craft makes us feel “at home” and as an item to take with you as a part of daily life. By exploring this point of view\, the objects surrounding us all have potential to be transformed into amigurumi and can be both good friends and useful instruments in wider occasions. \nTo apply for the exhibition\, we would like each participating artist to submit an idea of what kind of animal/human-shaped amigurumi product they can create to be used in daily life. \nMuch like last year’s exhibition\, at least one piece should match our theme: a crocheted amigurumi product that can be used in every day life. Such creations can be amigurumi bags\, tape measures\, tissue box covers\, wall mount clocks\, wallets\, scissors\, book covers\, pencil cases and holders\, smartphone covers\, mirror cases\, water bottle holders\, coasters\, hair ties\, etc. We ask artists to be as creative as they want and think of interesting ways their amigurumi creations can be incorporated in their daily lives! \nAny other pieces submitted to the exhibition can be “free styled\,” so artists have the option of sending us any kind of piece they want to show off in New York. \nTheme Examples\nThese amigurumi were designed and crocheted to be useful in every day life. Take these as pieces of inspiration for your own works! \nWorks by Lemo from Japan\n\nWorks by Lumièna from Japan\n\nBasic Exhibit Information\n\nDuration: December 11\, 2017 to March 31\, 2018\nLocation: RESOBOX\, 41-26 27th St\, Long Island City\, NY 11101 | www.resobox.com\nIt would be great if you could come to NY during the exhibition\, but you don’t have to.

SUMMARY:Sake Meets Cheese
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever tried sake and cheese together? It sounds weird\, but they actually go well together\, just like wine and cheese! \nSake is one of the ideal drinks that go well with many kinds of dishes because it contains the umami\, such as amino acids. The most appealing thing about pairing sake with various foods is that the flavor of the sake changes depending on the dish you’re eating. Even while consuming the same sake\, the flavor shows a totally different character when you eat different types of cheese. We would love for you to join us and try all the sake and cheese pairings. Everyone has a different sense of taste so each pairing may vary depending on the person. \nImage provided by Murray’s Cheese.\nWe hope to have the New York community to become more open to and familiar with sake. The goal of our event is for guests to discover their favorite sake and cheese pairing and share them with others! In addition\, we want to prove that sake can go well with cheese and other American dishes\, since cheese is an important part of Western cuisine. We hope you’ll be able to enjoy sake in your own way! \nRei Watanabe\, a top sake distributor\, will invite you to explore sake by holding a small lecture on the topic. He will introduce the different kinds of sake\, how they were made and give the tips of how to enjoy sake. Chiara D’Amore-Klaiman and Alexa Wilkinson from Murray’s Cheese will also be present to introduce their most popular cheese. \nGuests will have the opportunity to try 6 kinds sake in mini glasses paired with 5 kinds of cheese. They will have the option of an additional sake order ($3 for a mini glass of sake). \nAbout the Sake\n\n\n\nAsahi Shuzo \nDassai 50 Junmai Daiginjo [Kosher] \nA refreshing\, engaging\, round flavor are what make the full-bodied Dassai 50 such a popular\, well-known\, and delicious sake to experts and consumers in Japan and overseas. Excellent with food or alone. \n\n\n\n\nTaruhei Shuzo \nSumiyoshi Tokubetsu Junmai Goku Karakuchi \nA rich and extra dry muroka (not active carbon filtered) Sake with a light yellow color and a bold taste. Known as the “Sake of Sake” because of the strong charactaristic flavor and popular among Gourmets. \n\n\n\n\n\nShata Shuzo \nTengumai Yamahai Junmai  \nThe seemingly effortless harmony so characteristic of Yamahai sake is ever present in Tengumai’s masterful brew. Gorgeous pale straw pour\, with a funky mushroom nose to match the acidic\, dry and earthy first impression. While savoring the buttery mouthfeel\, one may even notice hints of walnut bread and honeyed mead\, so keep your eyes peeled. When chilled\, the more floral notes come into play. An absolute pleasure to drink at any and all temperatures. \nLos Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition 2013 – Yamahai & Kimoto Class – Best in Class\,   International Wine Competition 2011 – Junmai Sake Category – 1st Place Trophy \n\n\n\n\n\n Miyake Honten \nSenpuku Shinriki Muroka Genshu \nShinriki (Divine Power RIce) is made sake production methods from the early 1900’s. Shinriki 85 is produced via the kimoto method and is neither charcoal filtered or water-blended. It has a bountiful aromatic fragrance and flavor profile due to the smaller circumference of the brewing rice. \n\n\n\n\n\n Miwa Shuzo \nShirakawago Sasanigori Junmai Ginjo \nShirakawago is superb unfiltered sake made from Hidahomare rice. Blended with Moromi (sake-mash)\, its mellow flavor and wealthy aroma is best enjoyed chilled or on the rocks.

SUMMARY:Feel Aji Stone: Japanese Granite
DESCRIPTION:With the Techniques of Japanese Stone Craftsmen\nIntroducing the AJI PROJECT\, a collection of fine stones made of traditional Japanese granite named the “Aji Stone.” With its unique and glossy texture\, the Aji stone is used to create various goods such as interior decorations\, pottery and dishes. As a very unusually special and rare stone\, we are proud to be exhibiting a various selection of these pieces here at RESOBOX from February 28th to March 6th\, 2017. As so\, we are inviting professional buyers and all who are interested to visit the exhibition and have the chance to view and touch the stone creations. AJI PROJECT representatives will be traveling straight from Japan to be present during this exhibition. We welcome all guests to speak to them about the Aji stone and creations. \nAbout Aji Stone\nMure Town and Aji Town lie in Kagawa Prefecture in the northeast part of Shikoku\, the island of southwest Japan. The mountains in this area is where “Aji stone\,” a representative stone of Japan\, is produced. It is made of granite and is very solid as mineral crystals are precisely compounded. Therefore\, it is resistant to weathering and sparkles significantly with its deep color when polished. Handling it requires skill while it is tolerant of fine processing. \nIsamu Noguchi\, a worldwide architect\, visited Mure town in 1956 for the first time. It is said that he set up his house and atelier there\, fascinated with the stone and the reliable technique of stone craftsmen. \nProducts made of Aji stone for our daily life\nThe first tool used by humans was stone. Stones have always been with us\, existing in nature from ancient times. We feel the rounded tenderness generated naturally\, the solidness of each craggy surface\, and the pleasant and cool temperature of stones\, unconsciously with our hands. Products made by Aji stone are silently but comfortably with us in our daily life. \nThere are over 50 different products in AJI PROJECT. All are collaborative pieces by a well-known Japanese designer\, Yukitoshi Toda and master workmen.

SUMMARY:The Dynamics of The Sumo World! The Ultimate Sumo Match Experience with Food and Sake
DESCRIPTION:Explore The World of Sumo and Experience The Unfamiliar Culture!\nVisit the unfamiliar and unique world of sumo through the eyes of a sumo enthusiast! Special guest and author of “SUMO: The Thinking Fan’s Guide to Japan’s National Sport\,” David Benjamin\, will introduce the different aspects of sumo culture from the perspective of a foreigner living in Japan. You will also get to watch some of the remarkable sumo matches with interactive sessions and live sumo demonstrations. Want a taste of a real sumo meal? A special tasting reception will be held where you’ll be able to try the traditional Japanese Chanko-nabe (Sumo stew) while sipping fine sake. At the end of the event\, you will have the opportunity to meet and get your book signed by David. \nAbout SUMO\nSumo is a traditional Japanese sport with over 1\,500 years of history and is an integral part of Japanese culture. The sport involves two wrestlers wearing Mawashi (the Sumo belt) competing inside a Dohyo (a fighting ring made of soil). The origin of Sumo appeared in ancient mythology. It later became a fortune-telling ritual in Japan’s imperial palace\, soon becoming a combat exercise for Bushi (warriors)\, and eventually\, entertainment for the commoners. Sumo still maintains its popularity and has expanded outside of Japan as proven by the fact that many sumo wrestlers are actually foreigners. \nAbout Chanko-nabe\n\nChanko-nabe (Sumo stew) is known as the primary food for Rikishi (formal name for Sumo wrestler) which helps by supplying nutrients for developing strong and healthy bodies. It is always cooked in a big pot as large quantity is needed to serve many Rikishi at one time. Major ingredients include meat (chicken meatballs\, pork)\, root vegetables (carrot\, Japanese radish\, burdock root)\, greens (Chinese cabbage) engulfed in broth such as shio\, miso or soy sauce flavor. Each club has their own original recipes. Rikishi usually take naps after lunch to allow for the food to directly convert into fat so that they can beat their enemies in battle. \nCompetition Between the East and the West (also regarding Sake)!\n \nSumo matches were formally competitions between the east and the west side of Japan. Presently\, sumo matches are played in the round robin fashion regardless of where the Rikishi comes from. However\, the concept of the east and the west is still used in the ranking of Rikishi. We will be celebrating this historical custom and will provide sake from the both sides of Japan. You can decide which side you would like to take! \nSake from the East \nOze no Yukidoke Ohkarakuchi Junmai \nRice-Polishing Ratio: 60%  Dry\, gentle and light flavor. \nFrom Gunma Prefecture\, Japan. \nSake from the West \nItteki Nyuukon Junmai Ginjo \nRice-Polishing Ratio: 60%  Full-to-medium body\, mild aromatic.  \nWas awarded the Good in Wine Glass Sake Award 2014 \nFrom Hiroshima Prefecture\, Japan. \nDo you want to become a sumo wrestler?\n \nIf you are excited about sumos and the matches they play\, you can participate in a sumo costume! You’ll get the chance to try some of their techniques and feel the weight of how big the wrestlers are. Experience the dynamics of sumo!

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 page.

SUMMARY:Worship in Meiji Era Japan: Burns Archive Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Dance Performance and Lecture on the Burns Archive Collection\nVisit Resobox’s exhibition of 19th century photographs of Japan from the Burns Archive\, and explore places of worship depicted in this exhibition. There will be a short nihonbuyo dance performance by one of our lecturer’s senior dance students\, Yoshiko Furuse\, before the lecture. Then Helen Moss will take a look at the photographs\, the sites and the events represented in this exhibition from different angles. \n* Complimentary sake will be served! \nAbout the Burns Collection\nThe Burns Collection was established in 1975 by Stanley B. Burns\, MD\, FACS\, a New York City ophthalmologist and photo-historian. The Collection focuses on unique images not available elsewhere\, and has been generally recognized as the most important private comprehensive collection of early photography. The Burns Archive\, with over a million historic photographs\, is best known for images of the darker side of life – death\, disease\, crime\, racism\, revolution and war – however\, a large part of the collection depicts aspects of social and cultural life. \nA favorite and compelling part of the Collection are nineteenth-century Japanese hand-painted photographs. Working together\, Dr. Burns and his daughter Elizabeth\, wrote Geisha: A Photographic History 1872-1912. It explores the life and culture of Geisha during the Meiji Era with a comprehensive history of photography in Japan. They have also produced several exhibitions. They have been especially pleased to present at the Resobox Gallery in 2012 Geisha: The Golden Years 1870-1890\, in 2013Working Life in Meiji Japan and in 2014 Japan – An Island Nation: 1870-1890. \nBurns Archive: http://www.burnsarchive.com/
