SUMMARY:Shakespeare Meets Noh: DESDEMONA
DESCRIPTION:DESDEMONA returns to Malaysia after its premiere in Tokyo in July 2025\n\n \nShakespeare Meets Noh: DESDEMONA\nDESDEMONA returns to Malaysia after its premiere in Tokyo in July 2025. This cross-cultural production reimagines Shakespeare’s Othello through the aesthetics and discipline of Japanese Noh theatre\, blending haunting movement\, vocalisation\, music\, and classical text into a powerful performance experience. \nLed by renowned Noh actor IMAI Jinya\, six Japanese artists will collaborate with five Malaysian performers through an intensive rehearsal process in Kuala Lumpur. Together\, they will explore the integration of Noh movement\, chant\, rhythm and stagecraft with Shakespearean storytelling. \nPrior to its Tokyo premiere\, the work was presented in a private showcase at Masakini Theatre attended by invited guests including representatives from the Japanese Embassy and The Japan Foundation\, Kuala Lumpur. The production then travelled to Tessenkai Nohgaku Institute for four performances\, receiving strong responses from audiences there. Following requests from Malaysian audiences for the work to return\, DESDEMONA will now be restaged and expanded for a wider public audience in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. \nBook your tickets at: CloudJoi \n\n\n\n\n SYNOPSIS \nA solitary monk\, spending a summer on the island of Cyprus\, discovers a white feathered robe—belonging to none other than Aphrodite\, the goddess of love. She appears and recounts the tragic tale of Desdemona. \nFollowing the familiar arc of Shakespeare’s play\, Desdemona is married to the general Othello\, whose mind is poisoned by the deceitful Iago. Believing Desdemona unfaithful\, Othello is driven to murder. Too late\, he learns the truth. \nBut in a mystical twist true to the spirit of Noh\, Aphrodite brings Desdemona back to life. Yet Desdemona\, disillusioned by mortal love\, pleads to die once more—seeking not revenge\, but release. \nORGANISATION BACKGROUND  \nThe Japan Foundation\, Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) is Japan’s official cultural institution in Malaysia\, dedicated to fostering mutual understanding through arts\, language\, education\, and intellectual exchange\, while supporting cross-cultural collaborations and strengthening cultural ties between Japan and Malaysia. \nKL Shakespeare Players\, Malaysia’s only full-time Shakespeare company\, stages 160+ shows yearly\, tours all states\, engages 15k+ youths\, adapts global/local works\, pioneers Exchange Theatre\, trains students\, and collaborates internationally. \nLife Art Union is a Japanese theatre and cultural collective that reimagines traditional Noh through contemporary performance\, international collaboration\, education\, and community engagement\, creating innovative stage works that bridge heritage\, modernity\, and cross-cultural artistic exchange. \nPRODUCTION TEAM LIST \n\n\n\nCo-organised by:\nSupported by:\nProducers:\nDirector:\n\n\nThe Japan Foundation\, Kuala Lumpur\nKL Shakespeare Players\nLife Art Union\nEmbassy of Japan in Malaysia\nThe Japan-Malaysia Cultural Exchange Project\nSantosh Logandran\nLim Soon Heng\nLim Kien Lee\nJinya IMAI\nJinya IMAI\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nCast List \n\n\n\n(Malaysia)\nLim Soon Heng\nLee Swee Keong\nLim Kien Lee\nSantosh Logandran\nZaifri Husin\n(Japan)\nJinya IMAI\nTakakiyo KASTURA\nSeichi KAWANO\nSarai\nAkira YOSHIMATSU\nAsako HAZUKI\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nActors\nMusicians\n\n\nTAKAKIYO KATSURA – Desdemona\nLIM KIEN LEE – Othello\nAKIRA YOSHIMATSU – Iago\nLIM SOON HENG – Emilia\nZAIFRI HUSIN – Cassio\nLEE SWEE KEONG – Fool\nSEICHI KAWANO – Monk\nSARAI – Aphrodite\nSANTOSH LOGANDRAN\nJINYA IMAI\nASAKO HAZUKI\n\n\n\n  \nYoutube link: https://youtu.be/QVdDU-V3W6o\nFacebook link: klshakespeare\nInstagram link: klshakespeare \n\nLast Updated: 29th June 2026

SUMMARY:Project Seaview: The Great Seawall of Japan by Chai Ming Yang
DESCRIPTION:As commemoration for the 15th Anniversary of The Great East Japan Earthquake marked on 11 March of this year\, 2026\, The Japan Foundation\, Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) is organising a photo exhibition featuring stunning images of the nearly 400km seawall erected as a coastal defense across the Tohoku region\, captured by photographer\, Chai Ming Yang. \n\nProject Seaview: The Great Seawall of Japan \n(A Photo Exhibition by Chai Ming Yang)\n\nExhibition Period: \n9 – 22 July 2026\n[EXTENDED UNTIL 26 JULY 2026!]\nVenue:\nThe Godown Arts Centre \nOpening Hours: 11AM – 6PM\nAdmission: Free Entry\n\n\n\n ARTIST STATEMENT\nI began Project Seaview inspired by the resilience of the Japanese people. During my travels along Japan’s coastline\, I was struck by the constant reminders of natural disasters— signboards warning of tsunamis\, earthquakes\, and landslides appeared everywhere. Yet despite these ever-present risks\, millions of people continue to live\, work\, and raise their families in these communities. I deeply admire their courage and determination.  \nThis curiosity led me to explore how Japan responded to one of the worst natural disasters in its history: the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. I wanted to understand whether people had returned to rebuild the devastated towns and cities\, and how these communities were recovering. In the process\, I discovered the Great Seawall Project—an ambitious effort designed to protect lives from future tsunamis\, but one that has also dramatically transformed the relationship between people and the sea.  \nWith my architecture background\, I was fascinated by the scale of this undertaking. Stretching for hundreds of kilometres along the northeastern coast\, it is one of the largest coastal engineering projects ever built. Through Project Seaview\, I set out to document these colossal structures and explore what it feels like to stand behind these massive concrete walls\, where protection\, memory\, and the landscape converge. \nCheck out the webpage for the project:  \nwww.mingyangchai.com/projects/project-sea-view \nTHE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE\nOn 11 March 2011\, a magnitude 9.0 undersea megathrust earthquake that struck Tohoku region\, northeastern part of Japan. \nThis earthquake caused a tsunami on the Pacific coast from Hokkaido\, Tohoku\, and Kanto regions\, such as Soma-city with tsunami heights over 7.3 meters\, of 4.2 meters in Oarai-city\, and over 4.1 meters in Kamaishi-city\, the run-up height in some cities in Tohoku area even went up to 40 meters\, devastated hundreds of kilometres ofcoastline. The number of deceased due to this earthquake and tsunami reached nearly 20\,000. \nTo protect the lives of citizens\, buildings and crops from future tsunamis\, a total length of approx. 400 kilometres of new or upgraded seawalls were constructed along parts of the Tohoku coast. Some seawalls reach heights of 10-15meters (33-50 feet) \n\nLast Updated: 1 July 2026

NISHIKAWA Tatsuro / 2024 / 125min / 13 / Drama) \n  \n\n \nShiori\, a high school student\, wakes up every morning at 7 a.m. to the lively sound of weaving looms\, which serve as her alarm clock. Cheerful and kind to everyone\, she nevertheless struggles with daily life due to her strong fixations on routines—such as the arrangement of table settings or which foot she steps forward with first. One day\, her best friend Mariko submits Shiori’s clothing design to a school fashion contest. At Mariko’s suggestion\, the design was also entered into a fashion show in Ichinomiya City. With Mariko’s support\, Shiori begins creating her garment.\nWhen her older sister Fumi learns of this\, she projects her own past disappointments onto Shiori and finds herself torn between wanting to support her and hesitating to push her forward. Their father\, Yasutaka\, fiercely opposes the idea\, fearing that Shiori might get hurt. However\, through her challenge of creating clothing and the many people she meets along the way\, Shiori gradually begins to develop a growing determination… \nCast: \nHATTORI Misaki\nOKAZAKI Sae\nYOSHIDA Eisaku \nDirector – NISHIKAWA Tatsuro\nScreenplay – SUZUKI Ayako\nCinematography – KOSUGI Masao\, SAKAMOTO Noritaka \n\n\n\n\n SCREENING INFORMATION \nDate: 20 June 2026 (Saturday) | Time: 10:30am & 1:30pm (2 shows) | Venue: GSC Mid Valley Megamall\nAdmission/Bookings: FREE admission.

SUMMARY:The Weekend Japanese Film Show (February 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Voices in the Wind\n(風の電話)\n(d. SUWA Nobuhiro / 2020 / 141min / 13 / Drama) \n  \n\n \n\nThe “Wind Phone” is a real telephone booth in the town of Otsuchi in Iwate prefecture. It’s not connected to any phone lines. But ever since the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster\, over 30\,000 people have come to this place. They all have loved ones they want to talk to. They want to say goodbye to their family members\, who should be there with them. For those people who are living with such sadness\, there is a movie that will be softly\, gently by their side. \nHaru is a high school student from Otsuchi who was affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake Disaster. She goes to live with her aunt in Hiroshima\, but her heart remains in Otsuchi. She begins to hitchhike all the way back to her home town. She meets\, travels\, and parts with many different people along her journey. And what kind of scenery does Haru see? \nIn 2011\, Otsuchi resident and garden designer Itaru Sasaki installed the “Wind Phone” in his home garden\, inspired by his desire to talk with his deceased cousin one more time. Gradually\, people began to know of it as ‘the phone connected to heaven’\, and now many people come just to visit it. \nCast:  \nMOTOLA Serena\nNISHIJIMA Hidetoshi\nMIURA Tomokazu\nNISHIDA Toshiyuki \nDirector – SUWA Nobuhiro\nProducer – IZUMI Eiji\, MIYAZAKI Dai\, NAGASAWA Yoshiya\nCinematography – HAIBARA Takahiro \n\n\n\n\n SCREENING INFORMATION \nDate: 28 February 2026 (Saturday) | Time: 10:30am & 1:30pm (2 shows) | Venue: GSC Mid Valley Megamall\nAdmission/Bookings: FREE admission.

The exhibition can be enjoyed by everyone\, whether they are long-time sushi lovers or only knowing about it for the first time. \nRecognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage\, sushi as a form of washoku continues to evolve as a symbol of Japanese culture celebrated worldwide.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black” style=”double”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nPameran Kembara Kebudayaan Japan Foundation\n“I LOVE SUSHI“\ndi Terengganu\nat Dewan Mandalika\, Muzium Negeri Terengganu \nDari 15 Januari – 22 Feb 2026 | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM  \nSabtu hingga Khamis (Tutup pada hari Jumaat) \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black”][vc_column_text] \nTentang Pameran Ini\nPameran I Love Sushi mengajak pengunjung mendekati sushi dengan cara yang lebih dekat dan bermakna\, bukan sekadar sebagai hidangan popular\, tetapi sebagai sebuah kisah panjang yang merentas sejarah\, budaya dan kreativiti manusia. \nBertempat di Dewan Mandalika\, Muzium Negeri Terengganu dan dengan kerjasama The Japan Foundation\, Kuala Lumpur (JFKL)\, pameran ini akan berlangsung dari 15 Januari hingga 22 Februari 2026.Sushi sering dikenali sebagai makanan Jepun yang ringkas dan comel.
