SUMMARY:Origami in action: A New Approach to Applied Origami
DESCRIPTION:Best known for making Pop – Up comic books\, Sam Ita was asked by emerging Italian publisher\, Nui Nui\, to create a series of origami books\, beginning with paper planes.\nAfter much initial struggle\, he was able to come up with unique\, yet easy to fold designs. His method relies on clear\, intuitive diagrams\, and colorful\, printed crease patterns. Tuttle Publishing acquired US rights to the book\, and released it in the beginning of 2016 as “Next Generation Paper Airplanes Kit.” \nContinuing the series\, he collaborated with 2 other young\, innovative origamists; Jewelry and Fashion designer Adrienne Sack; and Dragon Aficionado and Champion Pumpkin Carver\, Paul Frasco. Their subsequent titles are “Fashionable Paper Hats”\, and “Flying Dragons fire–breathing paper aircraft\,” respectively. These books will hopefully be available in the US\, as well. \n \nAbout Origami\nOrigami (折り紙)\, coming from ori meaning “folding” and kami meaning “paper\,” is the art of paper folding\, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage\, the word “origami” is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices\, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. \nThe small number of basic origami folds can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The best-known origami model is the Japanese paper crane. In general\, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be of different colors\, prints\, or patterns. Traditional Japanese origami\, which has been practiced since the Edo period (1603–1867)\, has often been less strict about these conventions\, sometimes cutting the paper or using non-square shapes to start with. The principles of origami are also used in stents\, packaging and other engineering applications. Modern origami combines these Japanese techniques with aspects of other folding traditions\, and materials. Today\, origami is truly a global phenomenon.

SUMMARY:RITA Sake Tasting: From Tokyo to New York
DESCRIPTION:The tasting will feature four different sake from the RITA brand of Toshimaya. Each sake is unique to the brewer and most of them have not yet been sold in the United States market (so it’s a rare chance to try them here!) The president of Toshimaya Corporation will make a special visit from Japan and provide a presentation on each unique sake. During the event\, we’ll also hold a “blind tasting” game in which participants will get to guess which particular sake they’re tasting. Lastly\, the tasting will be paired with food served by a professional Japanese chef to enhance the taste of the sake. The sake pairing selections include: \n\nBraised duck breast\nScallop carpaccio\nTuna with sansho zuke (picked vegetables)\nBamboo shoots with wakame (edible seaweed)\n\n\nFeatured Sake\nJunmai Shu “RITA” Pure Green\n\nRice Base: Hattan Nishiki (Hiroshima)\nRice Polishing Ratio: 60%\nAlcohol Percentage: 15% – 16%\nNihonshudo: +1\nPure Green is loved by sake fans as it has a gentle rice fragrance but also a refreshing aftertaste. This unique sake is known to match any kind of food you’re eating and is often paired with side dishes. \nJunmai Dai Ginjyou “RITA”\n\n\n\nRice Base: Hattan Nishiki (Hiroshima)\nRice Polishing Ratio: 50%\nAlcohol Percentage: 13% – 14%\nNihonshudo: +1\n\nJunmai Dai Ginjyou has a delicious yet delicate apple aroma especially loved by women. Its unique and slim “Planet Blue” colored bottle is popular among females as well and is currently the best sold sake in the RITA brand. Since Junmai Dai Ginjyou has relatively low alcohol percentage\, it gained a good reputation as an alcohol that is easy to drink\, especially for those who don’t drink often. \n\n  \nJunmai Dai Ginjyou “DAI-RITA” (26BY)\n \n\nRice Base: Hattan Nishiki (Hiroshima)\nRice Polishing Ratio: 40%\nAlcohol Percentage: 16% – 17%\nNihonshudo: ±0\nDAI-RITA is known to be the highest quality sake within the RITA brand and even receieved the International Sake Challenge award for four consecutive years. The bottle is decorated with a beautiful purple color\, used for the highest grade sake back in ancient Japan. The sake itself has a slight smell of rice with a delightful and refreshing sweetness.\nOkunokami\nRice Base: Hattan Nishiki (Hiroshima)\nRice Polishing Ratio: 55%\nAlcohol Percentage: 16%\nNihonshudo: -1\nOkunokami has a distinctive natural sweetness which blends in with its juicy umami and gives the taste a fine clarity. The sake is usually recommended as aperetif or as alcohol during the meal. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\nFeatured Chef\nMitsuru Kita was born in Osaka\, Japan. He enjoyed his life with his close friends but always had dreamed to spread his wings outside of his small world. When he was 23 years old\, he decided to fly away from his comfortable world and immigrated to US to look for stimulation. He became a Hibachi chef at Inatome Japanese Steak House in Long Island. He cooked food on hibachi grill in front of customers and entertained them with his knife-wielding and shaker performance. After working at Inatome for 8 years\, he became a chef at Hakubai Restaurant\, one of the best high-end Japanese restaurants in New York City. He was introduced to Kaiseki cuisine and trained under Executive Chef Yukihiro Sato for 10 years. Now\, he is an owner of Cook de Kita LLC and works as a Japanese food consultant.

SUMMARY:World Amigurumi Exhibition vol.2: Crocheted Culture Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:What started as a unique Japanese crochet art only a few decades ago\, amigurumi is now spreading like wild fire across the globe. As a Japanese cultural center in New York City\, an extremely vibrant and diverse location\, RESOBOX is looking to uncover and explore the core of what makes amigurumi so adored by everyone. \nIn order to examine how the amigurumi culture is developing in each area of the world\, we’ve asked artists from 46 countries to submit at least one amigurumi representing something special about their country! Our goal is to show each country’s unique features while connecting them through the common medium of amigurumi! Artists have submitted amigurumi made with their country’s colors\, a special type of yarn or other materials (beads\, embellishments\, fabric\, etc.) well known in your country\, amigurumi wearing cultural clothes\, and many other original ideas! \nLearn about different cultures around the world through crocheting and amigurumi at our second World Amigurumi Exhibition! \nMookie is back with a new adventure to find friends all over the world!\n\nIn The Press\n\nExperience A Tight-Knit World of Amigurumi at ResoBox in LIC by Joe DiStefano on About Travel\nWorld Amigurumi Exhibition 2: Crocheted Culture Celebration! Blog by Petits Pixels (French version)\nAll Around the World by Inside Crochet Magazine\n\nThank you for joining us at Vogue Knitting Live!\nVogue Knitting Live NY: Jan 15-17\, 2016\nThis year\, RESOBOX had its own booth at Vogue Knitting Live 2016 with some special pieces from this year’s World Amigurumi Exhibit. We also arranged the annual VK Live scavenger hunt\, held our own amigurumi-making workshops\, and hosted a special lecture about amigurumi and the reason behind our exhibit! I hope you guys had as much fun as we had! \nWhat are Amigurumi?\nCourtesy of Jennifer Ramirez.\nAmigurumi (lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami\, meaning crocheted or knitted\, and nuigurumi\, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals\, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features\, as is typical in Japanese culture. (Wikipedia) \nAmigurumi stems from animism\, a philosophy in the foundations of many Japanese traditions and customs. Animism is the belief that gods belong to everything: water\, food\, nature\, buildings and houses\, even technology. In Japanese\, this is called Yaoyorozu no Kami. In fact\, Japanese people often put eyes\, arms\, and legs onto non-human objects and give them imaginary lives in order to feel closer to these objects and show them respect as co-existing partners in this world. \nAs a Japanese cultural center located in Queens\, NY\, one of the most diverse cultural areas in the world\, Resobox Gallery wants to explore how the ideas of animism and amigurumi are perceived in other places internationally. \nGo on a video tour of last year’s World Amigurumi Exhibition!\n\nContributors\nHelen E.

SUMMARY:Ritual Industry: From a Different Angle
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: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:FIRING EARTH
DESCRIPTION:Clay was the first material used for shaping an object of art\, and fire made it solid. Sculptors get great pleasure from clay modeling. It evokes an excitement of the initial concept. Also it animates the reproductive faculties of the soul\, which come from spontaneous working process. \nYasumitsu Morito is a Japanese-born sculptor\, specializing in ceramics. He believes his role and responsibility\, as a sculptor presenting a work is to consider both the practical and aesthetic experience of the viewer. Practically\, he wants his sculpture to work as a vehicle of communication\, exhibiting a celebration of both craftsmanship and humanity. For him\, art can become a bridge between diverse communities and cultures\, and a connector of craftsmanship to the past and the future. \nIn his previous public sculpture\, “Spirit\,” which was installed at Riverside Park South in Manhattan in 2013\, the ceramic vessel acted both literally and metaphorically for the sculptural work\, allowing it to stay physically upright while pointing to a tradition of ceramics. The vessel introduced his pottery background in Mashiko\, Japan. It represented a continuing innovative tradition passed from one generation to another. The vessel also acted as the symbiosis for holding together the remnants of many civilizations. \nOn the other hand\, sculpting figures from life has made him think about the relationship between solid form and empty space.  For example\, the solid mass of a seated figure and then the empty space between the legs\, arms and thighs\, or arm resting on waist\, etc.\,  Natural forms always constitute integrated volumes\, while geometric forms offer sharp corners\, straight lines or flat planes.  Also from the point of view of his cultural background\, emptiness is an interesting theme in terms of the composition and in the context of Zen.  From his experience of public sculptures\, the balance between volume and void enhances the sculpture itself as well as the surrounding space.

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:Gold Box Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:* Now until August 16th! \n  \n\nThe gold box is storage for your impressions.\nThere are many gold boxes in your heart.\nCold boxes\, bright boxes.\nWhat kind of view is spreading in your gold box? \nAbout the Artist\nBorn and raised in Japan’s ancient capital city of Kyoto\, Mayuko’s work is based on traditional training and on her observation of the spectacle of Japanese life. Between 2006-2009\, she completed a widely renowned 46-painting ceiling project at the 500-year old Buddhist Temple\, The Kannonji in Osaki\, Tokyo. \nMayuko also received recognition for special awards in several competitions in Tokyo. \nOne of them was first prize among 10\,000 participants in a Japanese calligraphy competition. \nIn 2011\, Mayuko had an exhibition\, Harugesyo at The Nippon Club in Manhattan\, sponsored by the Consulate General of Japan in New York.\nMayuko’s latest challenge comes in using silk kimono for her work. The inspiration for this came when she found almost a thousand beautiful antique kimono in her grandparents’ old warehouse. Unfortunately\, most of them were already too damaged to wear\, but they were also too beautiful to become trash. Mayuko decided that she should create a new life for them\, and in this exhibition\, they do come to life. \nThis show is Mayuko’s gift to the world\, inspired by the world she sees around her in New York. \nWEBSITE | FACEBOOK

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! Isami Shiroma is a certified JKA (Japan Karate Association) instructor and judge. There is no kumite (fighting) in this class. The focus is on kata (form)\, which helps to build a strong mind and body. Classes meet multiple days each week\, so attending is very flexible. All ages are welcome but 5 years old and up is best. Adults and teens are welcome too! \nVisit the KARATE class page → \nFREE CROCHETING AND AMIGURUMI GROUP | Jing Leong\nCrocheters and amigurumi-lovers of all experience levels are encouraged to learn from one another and create things together in this FREE crocheting group.

Once students make their own original characters\, they will have the opportunity to “play” with them! These characters drawn on paper will be converted to a digital media file to be animated. Students will learn not only how to draw\, but also the process of animation and recording! \nVisit the MANGA DRAWING class page → \nIAIDO (SAMURAI SWORD) | Deborah Klens-Bigman\nIaido is a form of modern (way of the warrior) that is based on the traditional sword techniques of the samurai\, who ruled Japan during the Tokugawa Period from 1603 to 1868. 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! In this class you will build basic Japanese conversational skills to allow you to carry on a basic dialogue with others. From greetings and introductions to asking for information and shopping\, this course will provide you with necessary skills that you can use in everyday life.

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.
