SUMMARY:Mieko Yorimasa: The World of the Tale of Genji - Demonstration of Jyuni Hitoe
DESCRIPTION:Reflections on The Tale of Genji…Japan is a country blessed with four seasons; seeking beauty in the changing seasons\, living in harmony with nature\, and treating nature as divine.  A unique culture of respect for nature has been practiced in Japan.  The Tale of Genji\, elegantly depicting the lives of court aristocrats in this culture\, was created by Murasaki Shikibu more than 1000 years ago in medieval Japan. The aesthetic of expressing seasonal change by layering colored clothing is called kasane no irome\, or Juni-Hitoe (twelve layered Kimono)\, and was cultivated in the Imperial court. \nOne of the ceremonies held in the Imperial Palace was “mogi”\, a rite of passage into adulthood for girls.  Princesses wear mogi clothing for the first time at around age 14. \nNoble families with a daughter held a large-scale mogi ceremony to announce that the girl was ready to enter court and get married.   Today we will demonstrate this ceremony. \nMs. Emiko Yorimasa\,  founded Wabunka Densho Kyokai (Japanese Traditional Culture Association) in 2002 to revive and perpetuate Japan’s traditional culture &  art; giving renewed vibrancy to the Japanese spirit as it is passed on to a new generation.                                                                  Ms. Yorimasa serves as Chairman of both the Wabunka Densho Kyokai and the Sowa Kimono Gakuin. She is also a Director at the Sowa Vocational Training School\, an institute specializing in all facets of kimono attire and culture. Additionally\, Ms. Yorimasa is a member of the National Kimono Skills Certification Committee of the Ministry of Health\, Labor\, and Welfare\, and is herself a certified examiner. She also serves as a Central Examination Committee member for the All Japan Kimono Dressing Consultation Association.  With over 50 years of experience\, Ms. Yorimasa is one of Japan’s preeminent experts in kimono dressing and etiquette\, performing demonstrations; not only in Japan\, but also in England\, Italy\, Belgium\, Hungary\, China\, and Taiwan. \n

SUMMARY:Purification Ritual; Hikime-no-gi Performance
DESCRIPTION:The Hikime no Gi is an important ritual of the Ogasawara-ryu school\, in which those who have been trained and chosen by it use their skills in front of the shrine and in front of many people\, relying on the virtues of the bow and arrow to purify the world. It is performed as a Shinto ritual. Therefore\, in this ceremony\, there are many actions that show the heart to pray for world peace\, national peace\, family prosperity\, etc. In that sense\, it is held at the beginning of the year and the beginning of Shinto rituals. This ritual is performed at many major shrines; such as Omiya Hachimangu\, Sumiyoshi Taisha\, Kasuga Shrine\, Shimogamo Shrine\, Atsuta jingu. \nThis year\, for the first time in Hawaii\, 32nd Generation of Ogasawara Family\, Kiyomoto Ogasawara\, will perform this purification ritual for the people of Hawaii.
