Overview of the business

At Plaza College, which was established in 2001, the University Consortium Kyoto has published the results of research on Kyoto Studies as the Kyoto Studies Course. Since fiscal 2009, we have been holding a theme every year from among various events related to Kyoto as part of the Kyoto Skills Training Course of the Kyoto (Miyako) College, a lifelong learning project operated together with Kyoto City to open up the university's intellectual resources to the community. This will be the 18th time the course has been offered in 2018.

Kyoto City Collaborative Project

2018 Kyoto Studies Course "I was born in Kyoto ~Culture where Miyako originated~"

Outline of the event

Kyoto has been the capital for a long time, and has created a variety of things and cultures over the course of eternity. There is an extremely wide variety of things that were born in Kyoto, from the culture of the wind style and tea ceremony represented by the Gion Festival in the old days, to folk songs and bras as women's underwear in recent years. This year, we will develop a course that focuses on Tokoton, who was born in Kyoto. We would like to invite a diverse team of lecturers more than in previous years, and think together with the students how each thing and culture was born in Kyoto and how they were transmitted to the whole country.

1st May 19 (Sat) "Gion Festival Yamahoko Tour ~ "Mountain, Hoko, Yatai Event" and Kyoto ~"

Lecturer: Akira Hashimoto, Curator, The Museum of Kyoto

The Kyoto Gion Festival's mountain hoko event, along with 32 mountain, hoko, and yatai events nationwide, was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016. In particular, the mountain hoko pilgrimage of the Kyoto Gion Festival is recognized as the origin of similar festival events that unfold during the Japan, but the mountain hoko that appears in the Kyoto Gion Festival is actually a solitary existence as a structure. In this lecture, we will examine the position of the Gion Festival in Kyoto as the birthplace of the float festival by comparing it with festivals in various countries.

2nd session: June 2 (Sat) "Imanishi Nishikiji ~From Kyoto Kitayama to Unknown Nature~"

Lecturer: Goro Iwatsubo, Kyoto University Bachelor Mountain Club, Japan Mountain
ClubLecturer: Toru Yagi, Professor, Faculty of History, Bukkyo University

Imanishi Nishikiji was born in Nishijin, Kyoto in 1902 (Meiji 35), and established an organization for climbing Kitayama in Kyoto at Kyoto Ichichu, an organization for the first ascent of the Japan Alps at Sanko and Kyoto University, and established the AACK (Academic Alpine Cub of Kyoto) Kyoto Gakushi Mountain Association for the first ascent of the Himalayas in May 1931. The history of Imanishi's mountaineering expedition research has been a dialectical development of goal formulation and organization-building. This is where his outstanding personality as a leader can be seen. Imanishi told us juniors that the conditions for a leader are popularity, a sense of mission, and insight.

3rd session: Saturday, June 23 "Bras and Kyoto ~Western-style clothing culture rooted through underwear from the thousand-year-old capital where traditional culture lives~"

Lecturer: Ryo Ishiseki Kyoto Costume Culture Research Foundation Curatorial Division Manager /
Curator Lecturer: Nozomi Haruna Wacoal Corporation General Planning Office, Public Relations and Publicity Department, Public Relations and Publicity Division, Manager

After World War II, Wacoal was one of the first to create Western-style underwear and create and take root in Japan underwear and Western-style clothing culture under the leadership of making women around the world more beautiful, as women's fashion changed drastically from kimono to Western-style clothing. In addition to introducing the history of Wacoal and its relationship with Kyoto, we will unravel the origins of underwear such as bras, its history in the West, and its relationship with fashion.　

4th session: July 21 (Sat) "Painting Education at the First Kyoto Painting School of Japan ~Luck, Sketching, Copying~"

Lecturer: Tatsuya Tajima, Professor, Faculty of Fine Arts, Kyoto City University of Arts

Opened in 1880 (Meiji 13), the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting was the first public art school Japan and has a history of nearly 140 years until today's Kyoto City University of Arts. What has changed in the traditional painting education where students are apprenticed to a master at a school? Also, in the changing times of the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei eras, how have you responded to changes in your view of art? We will introduce them based on the materials and works available at the Kyoto City University of Arts Art Museum.

5th session: Saturday, September 1 "The Birth of an Elementary School ~Relationship between School and Local Community, Relationship between Art Education and Crafts~"

Lecturer: Kotaro Wasaki Kyoto Municipal Museum of School
HistoryCurator: Mitsuhiko Mori, Curator, Kyoto Municipal Museum of School History

In Meiji 2 (1869), the first school district elementary school in Japan, "Sho Elementary School", was born in Kyoto. Kyoto's Sho Elementary School, which was created by reorganizing the Machigumi, an autonomous organization since the Muromachi period, has been greatly committed to its operation by local people until now. In this lecture, we will talk about Kyoto's unique relationship between schools and the community, which originates from this history. We will also look at the unique drawing education that was conducted at elementary schools in Kyoto, where crafts were popular.

6th September 29 (Sat) "The Birth of Kabuki and Kyoto"

Lecturer: Toshihiko Saito, Associate Professor, Department of History and Culture, Faculty of History, Bukkyo University

At the end of the turbulent Warring States period, a performing art was born in Kyoto. It's Kabuki. Yayako Odori, a dance of a naïve girl, evolves into a kabuki dance that imitates the most fashionable kabuki by the Aguni Geizan of Izumo. Eventually, it was sublimated into a male-only theater, and became a representative performing art of the Edo period, which continues to this day. In this course, I would like to think about the birth of Kabuki and the path of its great success, with a focus on the country of Izumo.

7th session: October 13 (Sat) "Manga and Animation (from Caricatures of Birds and Beasts) ~ Why was the International Manga Museum established in Kyoto~"

Lecturer: Kazuma Yoshimura, Professor, International Manga Research Center, Kyoto Seika University

In my position, I am often asked, "Why did you build a manga museum in Kyoto?" or "Why do I need to teach manga at a university?" It is not because there were caricatures of birds and beasts, which are said to be the origin of manga, in Kyoto. There aren't many manga artists from Kyoto. So what is the relationship between Kyoto and manga? We will consider this question from both historical and present perspectives while expanding our perspective to include anime.

8th session: October 27 (Sat) "Talking about the starting point of folk ~Kyoto folk and youth culture in the 1960s~"

Lecturer: Yuzo Toyoda Folk and blues singer, essayist
lecturer: Tomoo Kawashima Professor, Faculty of Contemporary Home Economics, Kyoto Kacho University

Kansai Folk, which was born in Kyoto in the 1960s, has a strong message and spreads throughout the country. Their activities are represented by the Folk Crusaders of "Joppalai Returns", but Yuzo Toyoda, a singer of the same era, is still active as a singer today, and is a party that rebuilt the live house that became the base from a sake brewery. Tomoo Kawashima, a sake brewery cultural historian, will tell us the secret story of the birth of the early days of folk culture 50 years ago, which he experienced in real time.

9th session November 17 (Sat) "The Beginning of Chanoyu ~From Shoin Tea to Soan Tea~"

Lecturer: Mr. Sotoshi Yamaoka, Professor of Tea Ceremony Hayami-ryu

The custom of chanoyu was practiced mainly in Kamakura period Zen Buddhist temples, and developed in the Muromachi period, where it was performed in kaijo and yoriai. In Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's Muromachi-den hall, there was a room called the tea ceremony house, where tea was made and brought to the tatami room, and tea was served in the amusement place. Then, the tea culture called Shoin no Tea spread, but after that, it shifted to the tea of Murata Tamamitsu's Soan, which aspired to mountain residences in the city, and through the townspeople of Sakai, it was greatly achieved by his disciple Sen Rikyu.

10th December 1 (Sat) "The Origin of Kyoto Cuisine and Creative Heian Dynasty Cuisine"

Lecturer: Hiroyuki Horiba, Kyoto Cuisine Rokumori Chairman

In commemoration of the 1200th anniversary of the founding of the Heian capital, in 1994, Hiroyuki Horiba, the third generation of Rokumori, revived the Heian aristocratic banquet, which can be said to be the source of Kyoto cuisine. Following the aperitif "Kusuzake," the "Hogaina" is served with rice called "Omono" in the center, and around it are decorated with gold-painted bowls of "omawari" (dried meat, steamed abalone, etc.) arranged in a circumferential shape. After that, the menu continues until the decimal. We will introduce the "creative Heian Dynasty cuisine" created and reproduced based on careful historical facts, along with beautiful photos.

Gojo Kaikan is the only fully wooden kabu renjo built in 1915 (Taisho 4) in Kyoto's Hanamachi, and it is also a phantom building that is rarely open to the public today. In the Sashiki Hall on the second floor, which retains the primitive image of a modern kabutenjo, a special live performance "Singing Kyo" will be held by singer Yuzo Toyoda.
