February was a busy and stormy time for us, here at the Japan Foundation, Toronto. With any luck, the winter storms will slow in March and spring will finally arrive.
March brings new beginnings to the Japan Foundation, Toronto with an exhibition by Toronto based artist Daisuke Takeya. This exhibition, entitled "kara", will feature paintings of both Canadian and Japanese cities. These works approach landscape by framing it in a contemporary way. Accompanying this exhibit will be a lecture by Gordon Hatt, as well as an artist talk given by Takeya himself.
We will also be hosting the Katari Storytellers at the end of March and hope that you will be able to join them and enjoy their wonderful tales.
Montreal will be the site of two exhibitions that have previously been shown in Toronto at our facility: the Yokoo Poster Exhibition; and the Spirit of Budo: The History of Japan's Martial Arts. Please see the Offsite Exhibits page for further information about both of these exhibitions.
From Halifax to Edmonton, March is also the month of speech contests. I would like to wish all the participants the best of luck.
I'd like to thank you for your continued support and hope that you enjoy our new offerings!
Masayuki Suzuki
