October is shaping up to be a memorable month for Japanese culture in New York. Whether it\u2019s examples of its rich past (traditional Shinto dance), something contemporary (legendary manga and anime artists), or works of art captured by others (photographer Eikoh Hosoe, a play based on the life of a Japanese American Medal of Freedom winner), autumn here is so inviting.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, Oct. 10, 6:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He later published\u00a0Kamaitachi<\/em>, showing butoh dance founder Tatsumi Hijikata in a series of supernatural images across the Japanese countryside. Mr. Hosoe speaks about his collective work and reflects on his long and dynamic career. Moderated by Dr. Miwako Tezuka, director of\u00a0Japan Society Gallery<\/a>. Followed by a reception.<\/p>\n
