Do you have any unanswered questions about your child’s education?

A child’s educational matters are a high priority for parents – and justifiably so. What do you do if
your child doesn’t understand the language? How will they make friends? What will happen to their
educational development? Perhaps your child is having difficulty adjusting to a foreign school
environment.
Did you know that the Nagoya International Center offers an educational advice and counseling
service to assist children and their parents with the above matters and more?
Professional counselors are on hand to provide advice and information on education for children of
Japanese and foreign nationality – including information about schools, school admissions, daily life,
and potential problems.
 When: Wednesdays, Fridays, & Sundays 10:00 – 17:00
 Where: NIC 3F Information Counter
 Reservations: Required and can be made by calling 052-581-0100

The NIC also occasionally holds seminars for parents and guardians with the aim of supporting
involved parties with their efforts to enrich their child’s educational experiences.

The Composite Portrait Ghost かさね写真の幽霊
Produced by Obake Yashiki (haunted house)
Producer Hirofumi Gomi, this attraction takes
advantage of Meiji-Mura’s authentic examples of
Meiji period architecture to create a uniquely
atmospheric horror experience. The chilling story
centers on a composite portrait (かさね写真 /
kasane shashin), a type of photograph that was
popular in the late Meiji period, created by
overlaying portraits of several individuals to form
a generic portrait. Composite portraits were used
in advertisements, and even in crime prevention
to identify faces of potential criminals.

Nagoya / Boston Museum of Fine Arts: KUNIYOSHI & KUNISADA From the Collection of the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston「ボストン美術館所蔵 俺たちの国芳 わたしの国貞」
Beginning their competition as apprentices to Utagawa Toyokuni I, Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) and Kunisada (1786-1864)
went on to lead the world of ukiyo-e woodblock prints from the late Edo period to the end of the Tokugawa
shogunate. Although the proud artisan and Edo-ite Kuniyoshi and the gentle and meek Kunisada were opposites in
terms of personality, as friendly rivals they continued to inspire one another, each attaining his own distinct form of
expression. This exhibition looks at the fascination of ukiyo-e, the ultimate embodiment of pop culture of the period,
through 170 of the apprentice brothers' well-preserved and vividly-colored works from the ukiyo-e collection of the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
See Kuniyoshi's depictions of heroes and their world that thrilled the boys of Edo, and Kunisada's kabuki actors and
beauties that filled the dreams of the girls of Edo, themes that resonate in the boy's comics and fashion magazines of
today. By delving into the familiar aspects of this world, the exhibition brings ukiyo-e closer than ever before.
When: Sat. 10 Sep. to Sun. 11 Dec. (Weekdays 10:00 - 19:00; Sat., Sun. & national holidays 10:00 - 17:00;
