A Case Study of Postwar Japanese Art | Michio Hayashi
Art history professor Michio Hayashi examines the mechanism through which postwar Japanese art has been introduced and received by the international audience.
‘Historical Determinations and the Porosity of Cultural Boundaries — A Case Study of Postwar Japanese Art’ was delivered as part of the M+ Matters event ‘Theorising Art Histories Globally’. This symposium brought together three important thinkers/practitioners, building new intellectual frameworks for understanding today’s art world, which is undergoing continuous—if uneven—globalisation. M+ is shaped by the particular historical conditions of Hong Kong, with its unique postcolonial context and global nature. As contemporary Chinese art matures, evolving beyond an explosive market phenomenon to become a well-regarded area of studies and research, and as the contemporary Hong Kong art gains legitimacy, respect, and even urgency, this event considers the topic of globalisation in art in more critical ways.
Transcript:
Date: 18 October 2014
Venue: Rayson Huang Theatre, The University of Hong Kong

Japan Part 5 Kanazawa Kimonos Castle Gardens Photography & More Rain
Music from the YouTube Audio Library - 'Atmospheria', Aurora Currents', 'Sao Meo Orchestral mix and 'Ferris Wheel'
It's a relatively short journey through numerous tunnels from Shiragawa-go to Kanazawa, where we have an overnight stay. We enter a gold leaf store, before exploring the streets in a traditional quarter of the city. This provides many opportunities for candid photography of the many girls wearing colourful kimono's.
The following day we tour the grounds of Kanazawa castle, then the beautiful Kenroku-en gardens, sadly though, in torrential rain!
Then it's off to Kanazawa railway station for our journey to Hiroshima. However a Typhoon is on its way - will we get there???

Sakura Michi by Junko Yanagida
Alaska Native Oral History - 'Sakura Michi' by Junko Yanagida
The visual information of the Sakura Michi video project is mainly dedicated to Inuit Culture and Tradition. The images and video clips are donated mostly from Ron Brower, who is the Alaska Native linguistic teacher at University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). This video project is for an Alaska Native Performance class at UAF. My instructors, Ms Salganek and Ms Lord, introduced ideas of Native performance in class, and they left students to think what Alaska Native Performance meant to each one of us to do this video project. My central focus of this video project, titled of the Sakura Michi, is indigenous peoples songs and performances because I think they have great values to their culture. I personally appreciate traditional performances and skills, and I wanted to use them in my video.
In contrast, the music and sound that I used was recorded in 2005 in New York City. The Sakura Michi song was produced by Kevin Lemonnier. The song was his interpretation of Japanese classic song called Toryance. The Japanese dialect word means go (walk) through (a road). The subject matter and the song were convenient for me because the culture is so mixed, and there is a good combination of ideas about our cultural journeys. The lyrics about a cherry blossom tree spirit and the Japanese monologue were done by myself in Japanese. The Sound of Japanese words are so comfortable to listen through my voice, and both past and present cultural images and music get along together in a very unique way in the Sakura Michi video. I believe that the songs were related to the peoples tradition and culture. The songs had so much power that it appeared as though my monologue was magic in this video, like shaman songs in Native tradition. These mixed ideas were important for me to express during this video making. Like shamanism is strongly related to Native cultures because of the way songs are used, my creative works are related to my own culture and my art.
Sakura Michi means a cherry blossom road. This story that I made is about a cherry blossom (Sakura - Japanese) trees spirit. After a thousand years of age, the tree finally had freedom to awake as a spirit from the universe, but it fell in love with a human. The human had a strong sense to feel the spirits around, so some of the spirits liked to hang around the human. However, unlike the spirit world, people only live for a hundred years and there is also no language to communicate as with human beings. The spirit just watched years and years of the humans life. Having feelings toward the outsider was taboo to the sprits world, so the spirit promised the human its heart. This is the translation of the Japanese monologue; Sakura Michi
If I have some spiritual connection to the universe, then it would be through music or art. I like entertaining people, so this project was a perfect challenge for me to learn something new. My inspiration comes from several different indigenous artists and timeless universal materials. When I have a detailed observation of the materials and images, the inspirations become a composition; that is my art. Art is part of our society.

Garden House by LGA Architectural Partners
“After years of living in an Edwardian house in Toronto’s west end, the client decided it was time for change. She wanted to remain in her neighbourhood, but she was keen for a smaller home in order to declutter her life and she was excited to engage in the creative process of designing a house. Palmer found a small lot only a block away from her historic home and she approached LGA Architectural Partners to help her build a new home with a modest budget and a contemporary attitude.
Simplicity and practicality were of prime importance. LGA designed a neatly stacked trapezoidal box that maximizes the space of the narrow lot and breathes within the generosity of the adjacent laneway. They clad the front and back façades in no- maintenance cedar to warmly greet the street, and the sides with a dark cement board to visually “remove” the private house from the shared laneway.
LGA employed a number of strategies to create a spacious interior that belies its small footprint and modest street elevation. They organized the open concept interiors by cleverly defining rooms without closing off most spaces. A low counter separates the kitchen and entry vestibule and three stairs serving as seating lead down to the generous sunken living room.
By placing the breakfast room at the front of the house facing a large window overlooking the street, LGA created an area that doubles as an indoor porch where Palmer and her family can sit and watch the street life, or draw the curtain for privacy. In the living room, built-in storage provides additional seating and leaves the room open and uncluttered. Sliding glass doors open to the backyard extending the interior space outside.
On the second floor and at the nexus of the house, Palmer’s library/office takes advantage of natural light and prime views with her desk placed in front of a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking mature backyard trees. Up a small stairway, the master bedroom and modest three-piece bathroom feel protected, but not cramped as big windows wash the interiors with natural light. A skylight above the open riser stairwell leading up to the second floor draws natural light down into the house, reducing the need for artificial light in the basement.
The interior artfully balances Palmer’s love of colour, texture and pattern with her need for neutral spaces to think with clarity and to display her books, art and artifacts. The cheerful green accent wall in the entry vestibule playfully contrasts the primarily bright white walls. Pops of turquoise on the inside of the kitchen cabinets delightfully surprise.
Palmer’s partner , a lighting designer, programed the LED light bank along the expansive white wall by the staircase, transforming the house itself into a canvas for an ever-changing light show. Palmer brought the furniture from her previous house and her vintage pieces are refreshed in their new contemporary setting. The house is a play of contrasts – old and new, subtle and bold, playful and practical, small yet spacious.”

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
