SUMMARY:Gyoza: Fry Up Some Fun!
DESCRIPTION:RESOBOX Japanese Cooking Workshop Series #10: Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings)\nGyoza is the Japanese word for dumplings or pot-stickers\, which are usually pan-fried but can be steamed or boiled as well. They are filled with ground meat and vegetables and wrapped together in thinly rolled sheet of dough which is sealed by pressing the edges together. \nAlthough Gyoza originated in Northern China\, the technique was adopted in Japan after Japanese troops traveled to the country during World War II and learned of the cuisine. Now\, it is popularly eaten around Japan with slight differences from the original. \nIn this workshop\, with Chef Mitsuru Kita\, you will learn how to chop and mix your filling\, wrap\, and pan-fry your Gyoza with ease! Once completed\, you’ll be able to make Gyoza right in your own home! \n\n\nWorkshop Agenda\n\nIntroduction to different types of Gyoza\nPrepare all ingredients (Cut and Mix)\nWrap your own Gyoza\nPan-fry your Gyoza\nTaste your Gyoza\n\n\n For more workshops in this series\, visit our Japanese Cooking Workshop page.

SUMMARY:Calling All Crocheters for the SECOND World Amigurumi Exhibition in NY this December!
DESCRIPTION:Our first World Amigurumi Exhibit was such a huge success that we’ve decided to make this an annual exhibit! \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\nExhibition Theme Description\nWhat started as a unique Japanese crochet art only a few decades ago\, amigurumi is now spreading across the globe. As a Japanese cultural center in New York\, RESOBOX is looking to uncover and explore the core of what makes amigurumi so loved through this exhibit. \nIn order to examine how the amiguurmi culture is developing in each area of the world\, we want each artist to show a characteristic or feature of their country or local area in their amigurumi pieces. Some ideas you can use are: amigurumi with your country’s colors\, a special type of yarn or other materials (beads\, embellishments\, fabric\, etc.) well known in your country\, amigurumi wearing cultural clothes\, etc. Feel free to come up with your own ideas as well! We want to show each country’s unique features while connecting them through the common medium of amigurumi! \nTheme Example: Amigurumi Bear With Colombian Wayuu Bag\nThis amigurumi was designed and created by Jennifer Ramirez from Colombia. \nWayuu is one of the many Amerindian tribes that exist in Colombia. Wayuu (also Wayu\, Wayúu\, Guajiro\, Wahiro) is an American Indian ethnic group of the Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia and northwest Venezuela. \nIn this piece\, Jennifer successfully combines a part of her culture (the Colombian Wayuu bag) with crocheting to create a cute and unique amigurumi! \n\nPhotographs by Jennifer Ramirez \n\nBasic Exhibit Information\n\nDuration: December 11\, 2015 to February 28\, 2016\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:Brother Ken / A Night of Tanabata
DESCRIPTION:At Brother Diner\, on the hot summer night of Tanabata\, while people enjoy eating crushed ice with sweet syrup\, something unusual happens… \nTanabata is the star festival in Japan. This is also a celebration of a love story between Vega and Altair\, who are separated by The Milky Way. The lovers only meet once a year\, on July 7th\, the Night of Tanabata. People celebrate their rendezvous by displaying bamboo branches with strips of paper and ornaments. Their wishes are written on a strip of paper because on the night of Tanabata these wishes come true. \n“Brother Ken (ブラザー軒)”\, meaning Brother Diner\, is one of the songs sung by Wataru Takada\, a unique voice in the Japanese folk song movement of the 1970s\, who was influenced by American folk songs and protest movement. The lyrics are by Katumi Sugawara.

In Japanese classical dance\, the dancer interprets the poetry being sung in addition to dancing along with the music. For instance\, if the words of the song say\, “It was a very hot day\,” the dancer might fan herself to show how hot it is\, or if the words refer to a gentle breeze\, the dancer’s movements themselves could become the cool breeze. \nVisit the NIHON-BUYO class page → \nTRADITIONAL JAPANESE KARATE | Isami Shiroma\nAuthentic Japanese karate is now in Queens!

The essence of iaido is to draw the sword\, defeat your opponent and re-sheathe the sword. All of iaido practice consists of kata for both solo practitioner and for partners (using wooden swords). Iaido evolved as a safe means for learning sword techniques. It is very polite and intended to cool\, rather than arouse\, emotion. \nVisit the IAIDO class page → \nJODO (JAPANESE STICK FIGHTING) | Deborah Klens-Bigman\nJodo is a stick-fighting art that dates back several hundred years. Its original purpose was non-lethal control of a swordsman. Jodo developed as a law-enforcement practice during the Edo Period (1602-1868). Policemen in Japan today still practice it. Jodo consists solely of two-person kata practice\, in which the swordsman attacks but is subdued by the person wielding the stick. Jodo practice includes some light contact\, but no grappling or free-sparring. \nVisit the JODO class page → \nSUMI-E (JAPANESE INK PAINTING) | ChiFong (Mathew) Wong\nSumi-e\, also called Suiboku-ga\, is the art of ink wash-painting. Characteristically\, it is an East Asian art\, and has been practiced there for well over a thousand years. Sumi-e depicts the spirit or essence of an object or scene rather than its outward appearance — and does so in the fewest possible strokes. Because of this simplicity\, the painter’s character and personality come through in his/her work. In both viewing and creating\, Sumi-e is a very contemplative form of painting. \nVisit the SUMI-E class page → \nJAPANESE LANGUAGE | Hiroko Miyashita\nCome and learn basic Japanese while watching anime!

SUMMARY:World of Shojo Manga: Mirrors of Girls Desires
DESCRIPTION:Shojo Manga! Girl Power!: Evolution and and Transformation of Japanese Girls’ Comics\nMany different kinds of manga have been published for different ages\, genders\, and fans’ favorite themes since the 1970s. One of the major characteristics of Japanese manga is that manga has split into Boy’s (shonen) and Girl’s (shojo) manga\, each developing in its own way. Based on readers’ expectations\, each boy’s and girl’s manga has its own theme. Regardless of the subject\, the main theme in boy’s manga is competitive fighting\, how the heroes become men by protecting women\, family\, country\, or the earth from enemies. The theme of girl’s manga is simply love. In brief\, the most important thing for girls is how to find love through a process of overcoming obstacles. \n \nHowever\, the topics in shojo manga have changed in response to girls’ expectations and have developed into diverse subjects over the last 70 years since World War II. The role and the value of shojo manga has become significant in Japan. Regarding the visual images\, the grammar of Japanese manga is also highly developed with semiotic and semantic usage of composition\, which seldom appears in US comics after the 1960s. \nWhat is the cultural and historical background behind the development of shojo manga? Why has it become a worldwide phenomenon? How does it influence young minds (e.g. aesthetics and preferences) and change their society?\nThis lecture responds to the topics above\, showing a variety of fascinating visual images taken from representative shojo manga works from the 1970s to the present.

SUMMARY:SENDAI-TANSU (TRADITIONAL JAPANESE CABINETS) ON DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, you can see traditional\, handmade Japanese cabinets (tansu) made by Monmaya at RESOBOX!\n\nWhat is Sendai-tansu?\nThere are many theories as to its beginning\, but it is generally said that the Sendai-tansu’s origin dates back to when the samurai Masamune had ruled the Sendai region. The chief carpenter of that domain\, Hyuga Umemura\, was commissioned to build Sendai-tansu as furniture to put into Masamune’s castle. \nThe Sendai-tansu’s characteristic is the strong durable beauty that is the joint artistry of cabinetwork\, lacquer\, and metal fitting into one form. In the cabinetwork\, the front is made of Keyaki (a form of Zelkova) aged from ten years to a few decades and the inside is made using Kiri (commonly known as Empress tree) to avoid deformation. The laquering and polishing is repeated thirty times over in layers. Finally\, it is complete after being adorned with metal fittings that have representations associated with good fortune or the family emblem as motifs. \n\nRefurbishing Process\nHere’s a tansu that’s in pretty rough shape. It’s over 100 years old.\nFirst\, the metallic embellishments are removed\, given a rust-proofing and a coat of new paint.\nNext\, the old lacquer is stripped from the tansu\, revealing its original wooden exterior.\nFinally\, the tansu is given new lacquer\, sharpening\, and polish. This process is repeated 30 times.\nHere is the finished\, repaired tansu. Except for the doors\, all parts of the original tansu are present.\nUntil the early 1920s\, Sendai-tansu manufacturing was mainly done through division of labor. It was the third successor Tamizo\, who wanted the tansu craftsmen to carry out their craft with responsibility and pride. He began a system where one whole cabinet could be custom-made and repaired. Through this system\, many craftsmen were trained to top standards. In inheriting his belief we continue to train craftsmen and manufacture indifferent to the past\, as we must let such traditional skills be inherited to the future.

SUMMARY:Calling All Crocheters for the World Amigurumi Exhibition in NY this December!
DESCRIPTION:RESOBOX Gallery\, a Japanese cultural center\, is planning to hold a “World Amigurumi Exhibition” starting December 12\, 2014.\nThe event page: https://resobox.com/amigurumi-world-14/\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! \nBut we need your help! This is quite a feat and one crocheter can’t do it alone. We need amigurumi contributions from crocheters everywhere to make this exhibition happen! \n\nBasic Exhibit Information\n\nDuration: December 12\, 2014 to February 28\, 2015\nLocation: RESOBOX Gallery in New York (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.

We may ask each artist to send more pieces during the exhibition if many are sold.)\nIf there are any oversized pieces\, please specify the size.\nYour website’s URL (Etsy\, Flicker\, etc.)\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please send an email to info@resobox.com or call (718) 784-3680 (Mon – Sat\, 11am-5pm). \n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n– Are you going to publish an article about this exhibition anywhere?  \nYes. We will make a press release by November 12th and deliver to as many media outlets as we can all over the world (in English). Unfortunately\, we can’t have all images of all artists included in the press release\, but will list all participating artists’ names and web pages. We may ask you for some contacts of media in your local area (especially outside US). \n– What type of amigurumi are you looking for? \nThis time we didn’t set up specific theme so we are accepting all types of amigurumi. However\, we can’t accept amigurumi based on licensed characters. \n– I didn’t create the patterns for my pieces. \nPlease check the original creator’s website. Normally\, there are some comments about if you can sell the pieces based on their pattens. We will only accept works that are originals or have the permission from the original creator. \n– If my amigurumi arrive at RESOBOX after the November 30th deadline because of a post delay\, is that okay? \nOur exhibition starts on December 12th\, so we will still have 12 days after the end of November\, but just in case something happens in customs\, we are asking participants to send their pieces by the end of November. Moreover\, December 12th is our opening party\, so we’d like to have the most amount of pieces by then\, but we WILL accept more pieces after that. \n– Commission \nThe commission that the gallery takes varies depending on the number of pieces to be exhibited. \n1-5 pieces: 50% commission to the gallery \n6-10: 40% \n11-20: 35% \n21-50: 25% \n51-75: 15% \n76-100: 5% \n– May I send all the things for gift-wrapping the amigurumi (paper bag\, ribbons\, etc…)? \nWe will gift-wrap your amigurumi when a sale occurs. Unfortunately\, we can’t accept custom gift-wrapping from each participant. Thank you for your understanding. \n– Can I include my own tag? \nWe will attach a small tag to each amigurumi with each artist’s shop name\, contact info\, baby safe or not\, and price. But\, if your amigurumi already have a tag\, that’s okay too. Moreover\, we will add the same tag information on our web page as well. \n– Who will bear the shipping and return shipping costs if my items aren’t sold? \nArtists are responsible for all shipping costs (to and from New York). Unsold pieces will be returned to you. The gallery will not buy your pieces. We will first calculate the cost of the shipping of your unsold pieces and the profit that you make during the exhibition. And then\, if there is a surplus on your side\, we will send the unsold pieces as well as the profit that you make to your account through PayPal or bank wire. If not\, once we confirm the payment received from you\, we will send unsold pieces back to you. You need to pay to us the cost of shipping from NY to your place. Once we confirm the payment received to our account from you\, we will ship your unsold items back to you. \n– May I send the same character with a different color scheme? Do the pieces submitted all have to be different\, or can they be duplicates of the same piece?   \nDuplicates are totally fine whether they are the exact same or different colors/styles. \n– Is it possible to send business cards to go with the amigurumi to gain exposure? \nWe apologize\, but we can’t accept flyers or business cards from each artist. However\, if you attach your contact/store information on the tag of your amigurumi\, that is completely fine. If you don’t\, we will put a small tag on each piece and write the price\, your name\, and your contact information (e.g. email address\, website address). \n– How will you establish the retail prices? \nEach artist can decide the price of each of their pieces. After we receive your price list and amigurumi contributions\, we will contact you if we believe a price is inappropriate. (If you don’t hear from us\, please assume that your prices are okay with us.) \n– Will there be any kind of opening reception? \nYes\, of course! As our gallery does every month\, we will have an opening party on December 12th (time is yet to be decided). If you can make it to New York\, please join us! \nDo you need a detailed list of all of the amigurumis I’m sending? And if so\, what information should be on this list ? \nYes\, we will need a detailed list of amigurumi from each artist. Please send the following information by email. The list does not need to be included in the package: \n1) Name of each piece (if there is a name) \n2) Price for each \n3) Baby safe or not \n4) Any other things that the gallery should know \n– Do you take full responsibility for the dolls stock during the exhibition?  \nUnfortunately\, we cannot provide artists with compensation for lost items. Also\, reasonable efforts will be made to protect consigned artwork from accidental damage\, breakage or lost items but insurance liability for accidental damage or breakage is not provided by the gallery.

SUMMARY:Glimpsing Vistas of Meiji Japan\, 1870-1890
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 view the subjects of rice\, silk and tea from an entirely new perspective. There will be a short nihonbuyo dance performance by one of our senior students\, Yoshiko Furuse before the lecture. Then\, Helen Moss will take a look at the products and the photographs represented in this exhibition from different angles\, including the aspects of ritual\, manual processing\, and the rapid industrialization that took place during the Meiji era. \n* Complimentary sake will be served! \n\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 2013 Working Life in Meiji Japan and in 2014 Japan – An Island Nation: 1870-1890. \nBurns Archive: http://www.burnsarchive.com/

This performance was inspired by and arranged from the Japanese traditional tea ceremony. The original ceremony consists of a variety of manners to drink tea properly\, but to experience this ceremony fully\, it’s best to simply drink with a style you favor most. The most interesting practice would be focusing your thoughts on the tea master for a few minutes without speaking and enjoying the tea in this small silent space. I always serve this tea for whoever sits down in front of me. Red Tea Ceremony -YOU ARE GOD- is always a great tool to communicate universally without any thought of hierarchy. I’ll be happy if we could find any great idea to make better and more enjoyable future throughout this tea ceremony. \nお茶会説明文　(Japanese)\n世界一赤い男のお茶会パフォーマンス。 茶道は偉大なる日本の伝統芸術ですが、現代芸術家・浜崎による茶道は前衛芸術です。前衛とは「芸術」と称される高尚なものを、日常のものに取り戻すための一種の概念です。 外部から遮断された、たった一畳の小宇宙。そこだけが目に見えないバリアーで覆われた異空間。２人だけの無言の対話。 飲み方は自由でその人の人格を表し、感じ方は人それぞれ。 このパフォーマンスはお客様が主役であってボクはただお茶を立てるだけ ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・YOU ARE GOD. タタミ１畳と赤い和傘、金の茶碗を携えて世界中どんな場所ででも「茶会」を催すことが出来るパフォーマンス「RED TEA CEREMONY -YOU ARE GOD-」。日本国内のみならず、ニューヨーク、ラスベガ ス、パリなど海外でも活動を行っている。 中でも1999年に日本人として初めてパフォーマンスを行って以来毎年参加しているネバダ州の砂漠で行われるアートイベント「バーニングマン」では、そのパフォーマンスの様子がイベントを紹介している各国のメディアにおいても、常にメインビジュアルとして取り上げられるほど象徴的な存在として知られている

SUMMARY:Shuten Doji vs State Shinto: Kill la Kill as Modern Otogi-zoshi
DESCRIPTION:Airing from Fall 2013-Spring 2014\, Kill la Kill has taken anime fans by storm\, thanks to its over the top artwork\, quirky characters\, and breakneck pace. But underneath the sailor suits and “schoolyard battles” lies another\, more subtle reading. Borrowing elements from classical “monster stories” like Shuten Doji and the Uji no Hashihime\, Kill la Kill presents an interesting critique of both Meiji Japan and nationalism in history. This lecture explores this reading of the series\, how it parallels the old tales\, and presents a new narrative for engaging and revealing deeper meanings in Japanese animation. \n\n Related Events\nOtogizoshi -BOKUSAI- until August 7th\nMicroscopic Journey – Friday\, July 25th 8~10pm\nKamishibai for Kids – Saturday\, July 26th\, 12:30~2:30 PM
