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).
