SUMMARY:Japanese Translation Workshop and Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, July 26\, 2026 • 2:00 – 4:00PM • In Person • $0-$20\nJoin us at the museum for an afternoon of poetry with translator Naoko Fujimoto! Fujimoto’s latest book of Women: 20 Japanese Female Poets / 20 Waka Poems is a collection of translations of Japanese waka-poems from the seventh century to the twelfth century\, featuring twenty female poets from this period\, when Japanese women’s literature flourished. This book includes poems by famous writers from the era\, such as Sei Shonagon (The Pillow Book) and Murasaki Shikibu (The Tale of Genji)\, and introduces some lesser-known female poets as well. \nWaka compacts much information in a short form: words with double meanings\, unfamiliar phrases\, habits foreign to non-Japanese speakers\, and hidden historical backgrounds. Direct translations would fail to capture the author’s full intent\, so Of Women takes several approaches to capture the original sensory images\, including text collage and haibun\, short essays that provide historical context and introduce the author before each waka. \nFujimoto will begin the afternoon with a translation workshop at 2pm\, guiding participants in creating their own English translations of a short waka poem. No prior experience or knowledge of Japanese is necessary. This workshop is most suitable for ages 16+ (ages 12+ welcome to attend if accompanied by a ticketed adult).

SUMMARY:Opening Reception\, Tōgei
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 13\, 2026 • 4PM – 6 PM • free with advanced registration \nJoin us for the opening reception for Tōgei: Contemporary Japanese Ceramics. \nThe Tōgei: Contemporary Japanese Ceramics exhibition at the American Museum of Ceramic Art explores Japan’s ceramic tradition and its evolution from functional wares to modern artistic expression. Works ranging from tea utensils and flower vessels to non-functional and contemporary sculpture highlight how post-1940s potters experimented with form\, glaze\, and concept\, often blending wabi-sabi aesthetics with contemporary design. The exhibition also reveals how Japanese cultural practices such as the tea ceremony\, ikebana\, and cuisine have influenced Western spaces and design trends. Featuring pieces by artists such as Suzuki Gorō\, Hamada Shōji\, and Yagi Kazuo\, it traces a modernist renaissance in ceramics\, including recent contributions from women artists who have gained opportunities to train in art universities. This marks the first major modern Japanese ceramics exhibition in eastern Los Angeles County in fifty years.
