Rather than only using pieces from the original ceramic object\, Yobitsugi incorporates “foreign” pieces from other objects to mend the broken ceramic item. \nIn our January and February winter session\, we are offering a one-hour private lesson on zoom with the artist\, Tomomi Kamoshita\, and facilitator\, Maki Aizawa. We will work on “Yobitsugi” with a set selected and prepared by Tomomi in Japan. \n\n\n\n \nThe collection of dishes and cups are from the Edo Period to the Showa Period. As is the nature of antique pieces\, each plate is unique and different. We have 8 “Yobitsugi” sets available and we will only have one participant in a lesson with Tomomi and Maki. \n\nThe cost of an individual online class is $175 and the material cost for a Modern Kintsugi kit and the Yobitsugi set is $125. The shipping and handling is $15. \n\nPlease visit our Kintsugi Project. \n\n \nSchedule for January and February: All Classes are Full. \n\nJanuary 25 on Tuesday at 6pm (PST) (M. M.) \nJanuary 29 on Saturday at 5pm (R.B.)  and 6pm(M.N.L.) (PST) \nFebruary 1 on Tuesday at 5pm (PST) (E. B.) \nFebruary 2 on Wednesday at 5pm (PST) (Y.

K.) and 6pm (A.O.)(PST) \nNotes :\n\n\n“Modern Kintsugi” with Tomomi Kamoshita is a modern version of kintsugi that utilizes resin based urushi and brass powder instead of natural resin and gold powder\, which can sometimes cause an allergic reaction.\nPlease note that the repaired piece will take at least 24 hours to be used. High temperature food or drinks are not recommended with the repaired piece for a long time.

It is also often used in the home to welcome the New Year. \n\n \n\nFor the Pomo and Miwok tribes\, tule is often used in the ceremonial head pieces and dance costumes. It is also used in making houses\, clothing\, mats\, baskets\, and tools. Rimiko has been working with tule since 2004\, honoring the Native American tradition of making baskets\, boats\, “Kotcha” (house) and\, rope. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nRimiko has created a workshop especially for us showcasing her step-by-step method using the unique characteristics of tule.  When tule is dry\, it is fragile but when it is wet\, it feels similar to leather. While traditional Shimenawa rice straw weaving requires quite a bit of skill\, we are able to utilize tule and its properties easily to create our own “Shimenawa” piece. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is 2 hours and will be conducted at the courtyard of Rintaro. The cost is $250. The materials\, hand-picked by Rimiko in California\, are included. \nPlease sign up by emailing info@amu-arts.org. \n  URL:https://amu-arts.org/event/shimanawa-rintaro/ LOCATION:Rintaro\, 82 14th St\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94103\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amu-arts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/PXL_20201213_001619435.PORTRAIT-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20211026 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20211108 DTSTAMP:20260512T154739 CREATED:20201109T191340Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211105T230512Z UID:1150-1635206400-1636329599@amu-arts.org SUMMARY:Shimenawa Making DESCRIPTION:In Japanese Shinto traditions\, “Shimenawa\,” – ornamental woven rice straw is used to define sacred space.

Kintsugi\, “Golden Joinery\,” is the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. \nKamoshita will introduce Yobitsugi\, one of the most artistic Kintsugi techniques. “Yobi” means to call and “tsugi” means to connect. Rather than only using pieces from the original ceramic object\, Yobitsugi incorporates “foreign” pieces from other objects to mend the broken ceramic item. \nElaine Yuen\, PhD\n\nIn collaboration with the Yobitsugi (Kintsugi) workshop\, Elaine Yuen\, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Naropa University in Boulder\, Colorado\, will speak on art\, perception\, and creativity. By noticing our direct sense perceptions such as touch and sight\, we will explore our choices in recreating a whole piece from brokenness. There will also be opportunity to reflect on and appreciate the meanings of this recreation. \nPlease check our schedule for the multiple courses of the workshops and lectures in Sonoma\, San Francisco and Boulder\, Colorado.

Taking inspiration from antique bunraku puppets from the USC Libraries’ East Asian Library\, Kanroku and Mokugu-sha will create a special piece for the USC community. \nThe performance will explore the tension between social obligations and personal desire—a conflict at the heart of the bunraku repertoire—and highlight the expressive possibilities for storytelling with non-human puppets and creative experimentation by bunraku ningyo practitioners past\, present\, and future. \nRenowned Japanese bunraku ningyo puppeteer Kanroku studied at the National Bunraku Theater in Osaka under Master Kanjuro Kiritake II\, and was named Kanroku Kiritake in 1979. He then apprenticed under Minosuke Yoshida III\, and was renamed Kanroku Yoshida in 1987. In 2006\, he started his own theatre company\, Mokugu-sha. Kanroku teaches and practices the classical pieces of bunraku ningyotheatre while pursuing contemporary projects and collaborating with artists working outside of bunraku. \nPresented by USC Visions and Voices: The Arts and Humanities Initiative. Organized by Rebecca Corbett (USC Libraries)\, Velina Hasu Houston (Dramatic Arts)\, Oliver Mayer (Dramatic Arts)\, Satoko Shimazaki (East Asian Languages and Cultures)\, and Maki Aizawa (Sonoma Cultural Exchange).
