ArtSpeaks | Floating Worlds of Leisure: Popular Culture and Performance in Edo Japan (1603 – 1868)

Enjoy a talk with Kirk Kanesaka, Assistant Professor of Japanese and Asian Studies Department of World Languages and Literatures California State University, San Bernardino. When the Tokugawa shogunate established its rule in Edo (present-day Tokyo), Japan entered a period of more than 250 years of peace and stability. This talk, presented alongside the prints on view, explores how performance and popular culture blossomed in the Edo period, spotlighting the actors who captivated audiences, the prints that immortalized them, and the luxurious costumes that brought their stories to life.

Space is limited; online registration required.

Founded in 1990, Fushu Daiko is a South Florida-based taiko drumming ensemble that delights and energizes the community through dynamic performances, concerts, and workshops. The group has performed in Germany, Brazil, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and during the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.

Fushu Daiko’s founders, Yoshiko and Charles Cane, were a couple who practiced traditional Japanese dance and theater. The Canes began building taiko drums at their home in Plantation, FL, and training with taiko masters Seiichi Tanaka, founder of San Francisco Taiko Dojo, and Takemasa Ishikura, founder of Matsuriza and Orlando Taiko Dojo.

Their founding members always envisioned Fushu Daiko as a not-for-profit cultural arts organization, serving the community through performances and educational outreach. In 2011, Japan Arts Inc. was created to ensure their vision was realized.
