CJS Film Series | The 47 Ronin Part 1 & 2 (April 16, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49576 49576-11476285@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 16, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Part of the “Enter the Samurai” Film Series sponsored by U-M Center for Japanese Studies.

Produced over a two-year period, Kenji Mizoguchi’s version of the oft-filmed Seika Mayama story The 47 Ronin was too big to be confined to a single film. Thus, it was released in two parts, each running between 105 and 115 minutes. The story begins in feudal Japan in December of 1701, when warrior leader Lord Asano is tricked into committing Hara-Kiri. Oishi, Asano’s loyal clansman, holds the wicked Lord Kira responsible. 14 months after Arano’s death, Oishi assembles 47 loyal Ronin (samurai) to exact vengeance. Director Mizoguchi abandoned his usual fascination with modern-day social problems in favor of epic patriotism (remember, the film was made while Japan was still winning World War II.

Presented in Japanese with English subtitles.

New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript (April 17, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/50849 50849-11884876@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 17, 2018 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers, hymns, biblical stories, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month, and Aquarius, the zodiac sign for January, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous, gilded surface, accentuated by the use of bright colors, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence.

This work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.
