The Japanese Pavilion offers a program of various activities from Spring to Fall.
Affiliated organizations and foundations benefit as well from this cultural environment.
From May 15 to October 31, 2011
Paper, Beyond Words
Paper plays a tremendous role in Japanese culture, transformed into clothing, dolls, works of art, architectural elements and ritual or everyday objects.
Generations of artisans have made washi, the splendid “Japanese paper” that coexists today with yôshi, or “Western paper.”
Both types remain much more than a simple medium for writing.
In the Pavilion gallery you can admire some “torn paper art,” thanks to a superb collection of pieces by the Edmonton Chigiri-e Club.
Leave a trace of your visit by helping to create a collective work of art.
From October 1 to 31, 2011
Halloween Origami
Saturday & Sunday, between 2 & 4 p.m.
Transform a simple square of paper into a pumpkin, spider or black cat. Discover the art of origami,
or "paper folding". Fun for the whole family.
September 9 to October 31, 2011
September 21 to October 28, 2011 & May 23 to June 15, 2012
