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.

All pieces should be for sale.\nAll amigurumi must arrive by November 30th at RESOBOX Gallery.\nThe artist should certify each work as being “Baby-safe” or “Not baby-safe” that the eyes are safety eyes or embroidered\, that the little appendages can’t be pulled off and swallowed\, and probably that the stuffing can’t be pulled out either\, especially if some of those little pellets are used.\nThe artist should certify either that the work is his/her original pattern\, or that the person who created the pattern has given them the right to sell that particular design (please check it out on their website).\n\n\nFees and Commission\n\nRetail sales price for each consigned artwork will be established by the gallery in consultation with artist.\nCommission when sale occurs: Commission varies depending on the number of pieces\nPayment will be sent within 10 days after the end of the exhibition unless there is a special request by an artist.\nThe gallery is responsible for all marketing fees of the exhibit such as postcards/flyers\, drinks for the opening reception\, event webpage\, promotion to media/press\, etc.\n\n\nInterested artists should send us the following information to info@resobox.com:\n\n\n\n\n\nYour name (or artist name)\nYour contact information (Country\, email address and phone number)\nAn approximate number of pieces you’d like to send us\, up to 100 (NOTE: The number can be changed before shipping in December. 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/

SUMMARY:Far East Near East  〜 Hip Art Japan 〜
DESCRIPTION:[ANNOUNCEMENT] Due to an amazing amount of RSVPs\, next Saturday’s “Far East Near East ~Hip Art Japan~” event will be be split into two sessions: 7:30-9pm\, 9:30-11pm. Each of these sets will have a limited capacity. Doors open at 7pm for the 7:30pm set and 9pm for the 9:30pm set. Thank you for your understanding! \nHechi-Ken Hamazaki / Red Tea Ceremony & Fighting in the Streets\nA night with avant-garde tea ceremony artist\, “The Red Man” and video game- based musical accompaniment by live band\, Fighting in the Streets! \nRead about this event on our blog! → https://resobox.com/community/red-tea-ceremony/ \nAbout Red Tea Ceremony (English)\nThe art performance is by Japanese contemporary artist\, Ken Hamazaki. 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

SUMMARY:Kamishibai (Paper Theater) Performance for Kids
DESCRIPTION:What is kamishibai (paper theater)?\nKamishibai comes out of a long tradition of etoki ( picture-narration) in Japan. It began as a street performance art and is a precursor of anime and manga. Kamishibai is still a popular form of entertainment in Japan today. \nAbout the performance\nIn this performance and workshop\, Tara will tell kamishibai folktales relating to oni (demons) and other shape-shifters in Japanese folklore. She will also introduce participants to the history of kamishibai and teach them how to make an early form of kamishibai\, called tachi-e (standing pictures)\, which are based on visual techniques from magic-lantern shows. After the interactive performance\, participants will make their own tachi-e puppets inspired by the stories they have heard. \nRelated Events\nOtogizoshi -BOKUSAI- until August 7th\nMicroscopic Journey – Friday\, July 25th 8~10pm\nKill la Kill Analysis Lecture – Friday\, August 1st\, 8-10pm

SUMMARY:Microscopic Journey : Shuten-doji
DESCRIPTION:Shuten-doji is a mythical oni leader or like an evil yokai in Japan. It has various birth legends. \n“Shuten-doji\, according to one legend\, was born at Ganbara\, Echigo. However\, there is also the idea that from the base of Mt. Ibuki\, where in literature like the Nihon Shoki\, in the legend of the defeat of the giant snake Yamata no Orochi to Susanoo in a battle\, it fled from Izumo to Ōmi\, had a child with a wealthy person’s daughter\, with that child was Shuten-doji. Both father and son had a matchless thirst for sake\, which is often cited as support.(by wikipedia)” \nIn this performance\, Shuten-doji might  be able to be like a score  for performers to create their own images. Also the performance can be expected that the sounds and movement resonate with the exhibition space and excellent works by Shoko Kazama – BOKUSAI. \n  \n\n \n\nRelated Events\nOtogizoshi -BOKUSAI- until August 7th\nKamishibai for Kids –  Sat.\, July 26\, 12:30~2:30pm\nKill la Kill Analysis Lecture – Friday\, August 1st\, 8-10pm

SUMMARY:Equinox with Duo Anova
DESCRIPTION:Program\nEquinox (guitar solo) by Toru Takemitsu\nTanzologia by Atanas Ourkouzounov\nSelection from Suite No. 1 by Raffaele Bellafronte\nQuatre pieces intimes by Dusan Bogdanovic\nBird song by Josh\nNight Waltz by Michael Kropf \n  \n\nEquinox – it is the end of summer and the beginning of fall. It is the end of winter and beginning of spring. It represents the transition between seasons. \nWith inspiration from the art of Taniguchi Hisami and the concept of the equinox\, Duo Anova presents an innovative program of new works for cello and guitar. We hope to explore the transition between classical repertoire and contemporary music. Our unusual instrumentation offers an exceptional experience; it opens up a listener’s mind to a new dimension of textures and sounds unique to cello and guitar. \nDuo Anova has recently performed at the Composer’s Voice 100th Gala Concert\, Saint Peter’s Church\, 662 Center Sounds Concert Series\, and Culturefix. In addition\, Duo Anova has recently accepted positions as Visiting Artists through the Louis Armstrong Department of Music Therapy Program. They have a weekly residency every Tuesday at Roosevelt Hospital on 59th and 10th Avenue. \nOn January 27th\, 2014\, the duo will make its debut at prestigious Carnegie Hall presented by Composer’s Voice.

SUMMARY:Discover Shio Koji - Enhance The Taste of Your Food
DESCRIPTION:Let’s make homemade Shiokoji!\nEnhance the taste of your food! \n“Shio” is salt. “Koji” is rice that has been inoculated and aged with the Aspergillus oryzae\nspore\, and is what gives many Japanese condiments their deep flavor and umami. So many\nof the well-known Japanese condiments rely on the transformative effects of koji and its enzymes. The natural production of soy sauce\, miso\, amazake\, sake\, mirin would not be possible without koji. \nShio Koji is basically salt and rice that has been mixed and fermented to the point that\nit itself becomes a condiment itself. Shio koji has a wide range of benefits\, practical uses\, and can be easily made into a go-to condiment for chefs working with any style of cuisine. \nShio Koji’s effects on food:\n☆ Improves nutrition\n☆ Increases ease of digestion\n☆ Increases umami and sweetness\n☆ Food is able to be preserved for longer periods of time \nThis workshop will cover:\n☆How to make shio koji(demonstration + hans on)\n☆How to use shiokoji for cooking (demonstration)\n☆Tasting of different kind of shio koji dishes \nDinner (Shio-Koji dishes made by Chef Natsuko and Sake) will be served at the end of the class!!

SUMMARY:Japanese Martial Arts Interview Series Vol.1 Dan Pearson and Richard Strausbaugh
DESCRIPTION:Interviewee: Dan Pearson and Richard Strausbaugh (Capital Area Jodokai)\nShindo Muso Ryu Jodo – 神道夢想流杖術\nModerator: Deborah Klens-Bigman (NY Iaikai)\nWe had the opportunity to interview Dan Pearson and Richard Strausbaugh from Capital Area Jodokai located in Washington D.C. Jodo is a Japanese martial art that involves a short staff called a jo\, Jodo developed as a way to keep unruly samurai at bay. Because of its non-lethal\, controlling nature\, this policing art is still practiced by Japanese police officers. Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo is practiced at the Capital Area Jodokai. Shindo Muso Ryu jodo began as a dueling art just at the beginning of the Tokugawa era\, but it has survived for over 400 years because it is a superb self-defense and policing art. \nDan Pearson instructs Shindo Muso Ryu jodo at the Capital Area Jodokai in Washington\, D.C. He has a teaching license (menkyo) in the art from Kaminoda Tsunemori\, who is a master instructor with over 60 years of practice. Dan has almost 20 years of work under Sensei’s direction. \nRichard Strausbaugh is an assistant instructor in Shindo Muso Ryu jodo at the Capital Area Jodokai. He has a oku iri sho (scroll of admission into the ryu) from Kaminoda Sensei. \nMore about the seminar that was held at our gallery can be found here: resobox.com/jodo-seminar-with-dan-pearson/

SUMMARY:Explore L.I.C. Life\, Time & History
DESCRIPTION:The Resobox is known for its vision and expressive environment where artists can meet and collaborate to create new and innovative arts. This year the Resobox is hosting an event where it will present a themed art exhibition called: Explore L.I.C. (Long Island City) Life\, Time & History. Long Island City is the home and destination for many talented artists who have taken the time to create reminiscent visuals that express perspectives of the time spent in Long Island City. During this exhibition you will view chosen collections of life stories\, random scenes\, as well as the community and experiences through the eyes of various artists. \nExplore L.I.C. Life\, Time & History is a collaboration of artists influenced by the neighborhood\, various artworks representing L.I.C. life: photographer Rafael Gonzalez\, artist and teacher Gabino A. Castelan\, LaGuardia College students\, with the help of LIC  partnership. Starting August 9 till August 30 different artists with different stories will share their experience\, impressions\, life in the neighborhood. \nExhibition includes exclusive works of Pierre Pullis\, 1929 and Eugene de Salignac\, 1921 with historical last century view on Nothern Boulevard and Vernon Boulevard. Eugene de Salignac documented the creation of the city’s modern infrastructure—including bridges\, major municipal buildings\, roads and subways. Most notably\, he documented the construction of the Manhattan Bridge and the Queensboro Bridge\, and the Manhattan Municipal building but his most famous image is that of painters posing nonchalantly on the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge. In his lifetime de Salignac’s work was little seen outside of New York City government\, and his name was forgotten after his death in 1943. His images were rediscovered in the 1980s\, but it was not until 1999 that an archivist realized the collection was mostly the work of one man. These photographs are submitted by OLDNYCPHOTOS.COM
