By phchow on May 18, 2021

On February 27, more than 80 participants joined the Canadian Society for Asian Arts (CSAA) and Asian Library for the Ink Dance program. The event recording is now available.

The program began with welcome remarks from Adolfo Tarango, acting head of Asian Library, and Margo Palmer, president of CSAA. Dr. Jan Walls, professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University and past president of CSAA, then presented an overview on the art of Chinese calligraphy, focusing on the works of the late Master Yim Tse, a dedicated librarian, celebrated calligrapher, devoted mentor and philanthropist. This was followed by a short calligraphy demonstration video featuring Yim’s senior disciples Greta Ho and Andrew Yang. The program ended with a question & answer session.

CSAA and Asian Library will continue to develop the Ink Dance retrospective exhibition of calligraphy by Master Yim Tse. We hope to welcome you in-person to this exhibition at the UBC Asian Centre when it is safe to do so. Please stay tuned for the updates.

New titles of Persian materials available

By phchow on March 19, 2021

Happy Nowruz!

Nowruz is the Persian New Year, which starts at the exact moment of spring equinox and conclude 13 days afterwards. This year’s Nowruz begins on March 20. A year ago, just before the Library closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we were able to mount a display featuring a haft-seen spread to celebrate Nowruz. The Haft-Seen (Seven “S”s) is an arrangement of seven symbolic items whose names start with the 15th letter in the Persian alphabet that correspond to S in English.

To support the Persian language and Iranian studies at UBC, Asian Library has been developing a Persian-language collection. We have acquired more new titles recently and they are now available for circulating. Below are some of the examples. Library users can search these titles from the UBC Library catalogue and make request through the Materials Pick-up service.

Rare Japanese materials acquired in memory of David Mark Graham

By phchow on September 17, 2020

David Mark Graham (1945-2012) was a Vancouver native and a double UBC alumnus (BA, BArch) with a life-long interest in Asia. At UBC, he was closely involved with projects such as the construction of the Asian Centre, the rejuvenation of the Nitobe Japanese Garden, and a proposal for a travelling exhibition of the university’s Tokugawa map collection.

The David Mark Graham Memorial Fund honours David’s memory through the purchase of print materials for UBC’s Asian Library, focusing on traditional visual and material art and architecture of Northeast Asia, particularly Japan and Korea.

The Asian Library is pleased to present the following two rare Japanese acquisitions recently made possible by the David Mark Graham Memorial Fund and the UBC Rare Books and Special Collections. We acknowledge the continued support from the Asian Studies faculty, especially Drs. J. Mostow and C. Laffin, in providing expertise in Japanese rare books. Many thanks also to the Library’s Acquisitions and Cataloguing units for their technical support and to the Digital Initiatives unit for digitizing the items and making them openly accessible in the Open Collections platform.

異國人物圖 Ikoku jinbutsuzu (Illustrations of the people of the world)

Produced in the mid-18th century, Ikoku jinbutsuzu allows us a fascinating glimpse into Japanese view of the world and its inhabitants in the Edo period (1603-1868). Pictures of people from various parts of the world, from China, to Vietnam, and to Holland, are hand-drawn and painted in vivid colours. The images were largely derived from astronomer and geographer Nishikawa Joken’s Shijūnikoku jinbutsu zusetsu (Illustrated account of the people from 42 countries, 1720), a very influential book at the time. This well-preserved manuscript is a valuable addition to the number of pre-modern Japanese works depicting and discussing the world’s peoples, including the popular Bankoku Sōzu (Map of all nations), in the UBC Library’s Japanese Maps of the Tokugawa Era collection.

View Ikoku jinbutsuzu at UBC Open Collections here.

**奈良絵本断簡 Nara ehon dankan (Illustrated pages from a Nara ehon picture book)**

Photo credit: Library Communications

Nara ehon is a type of Japanese manuscript book, containing a short story accompanied by illustrations. Nara ehon books were produced from the late Muromachi period to the early Edo period in the early 1600s, and while many were mass-produced and circulated widely among the general public, some were exquisitely painted and ornately decorated with high-quality materials and intended for high-ranking samurai and daimyō (great feudal lord) families.

Our new acquisition includes ten sheets of illustrations, hand-painted in gold, blue, green, and other bright colours, with borders in gold. According to the scholars who examined the pieces, the high quality of the paper and paint indicates that the illustrations were possibly from a picture album for the high class audience rather than a mass-produced story book.

The Library is pleased to have acquired these beautiful specimens of Nara ehon illustrations. The images are now available digitally in the UBC Open Collections not only for our faculty and students to study but also for any art and picture book enthusiasts all over the world to enjoy viewing and sharing.

UBC Library support in making course materials available online for the Fall

By phchow on July 27, 2020

Below is the announcement issued by the Associate University Librarian, Collections to faculty members about providing course reserve materials for students in the Fall term. If you have any questions on placing Asian-language materials on reserve, please contact your subject librarians or email asian.reserve@ubc.ca.

Dear Colleagues,

As UBC looks towards preparing for the Fall term, UBC Library continues to support faculty in ensuring students have high quality learning experiences through access to online course materials.

Due to COVID-19, UBC Library branches will remain closed for at least the start of Winter term and print course reserve items will not be available to students. Staff and librarians are focusing on materials and formats that are accessible in an online environment.

Some materials that instructors wish to use may not be available electronically. Approximately 85% of textbooks are not available for sale to libraries in online formats. Much of the non-English language materials do not have online equivalents. Some audiovisual material currently available on DVD may not be accessible through streaming services or via licensed databases.

The Library will purchase online equivalents to print resources, where possible. The Library will license streaming versions of DVDs if they exist. If there are no online versions of a print or physical resource available, you can work with your subject librarian to identify reasonable alternatives. These options include purchasing eBook versions of alternative titles, identifying open source textbooks, scanning and uploading select print content (subject to copyright), or digitizing DVD content (subject to copyright).

UBC Library encourages you to review your course reading lists as soon as possible, so that the course materials your students need are available to them online and in time.

After you have reviewed your course materials, please submit your content into the Canvas-integrated Library Online Course Reserves (LOCR) system to ensure compliance with copyright and license agreements.

For a full service option, faculty and instructors can email Microsoft Word or PDF versions of course reading lists or syllabi to service@ubc.ca
Faculty or instructors who prefer to upload their own content can do so via https://services.library.ubc.ca/borrowing-services/using-course-reserves/

UBC Library staff review content submitted to LOCR, obtain materials, make copyright determinations, secure licenses where necessary, and upload the content on your behalf. Each item must be assessed individually for copyright clearance each time the course is offered, even if clearance was obtained for the course in a previous term.

The Library will continue to communicate about in person service options on the advice of provincial health authorities. To stay informed of any change in our services, please check the Library Service Updates linked from the UBC Library home page.

IGNITE Book Club & Nowruz Display

By phchow on April 1, 2020

Due to conditions with the COVID-19 outbreak, the IGNITE Book club: Annahid Dashtgard in conversation with Shirin Eshghi proceeded as scheduled on March 12 but without a public audience. The conversation was captured in order for anyone interested to hear Dashtgard speak about her book, Breaking the Ocean: A Memoir of Race, Rebellion, and Reconciliation.

You can view this conversation HERE.

Organized by the UBC Equity & Inclusion Office, IGNITE Book Club is designed with and for racialized faculty to allow for the exploration and discussion of memoirs written by renowned racialized authors. Check out more information HERE.

L to R: Sadaf Ahmadbeigi, Annahid Dashtgard, Shirin Eshghi Furuzawa

The talk was meant to be followed by a reception with performances to celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year. Although the performances were also cancelled due to Covid-19 concerns, Sadaf Ahmadbeigi, our ARL Mosaic Intern, was still able to mount a display featuring a haft-seen spread to celebrate Nowruz. The Haft-Seen (Seven “S”s) is an arrangement of seven symbolic items whose names start with the 15th letter in the Persian alphabet that correspond to S in English. As you see in our display, these items are as follow:

Sabzeh (سبزه) – wheat, barley, mung bean, or lentil sprouts grown in a dish which symbolizes rebirth and growth

Samanu (سمنو) – wheat germ sweet pudding, symbolizing power and strength

Senjed (سنجد) – Persian olive, symbolizing love

Serkeh (سرکه) – vinegar symbolizing patience

Seeb (سیب) – apple, symbolizing beauty

Seer (سیر) – garlic, symbolizing health

Somāq (سماق) – sumac, symbolizing sunrise

The spread is traditionally set up with a mirror as a symbol for self-reflection, coloured eggs, symbolizing fertility, candles to bring light to our lives, and books, especially poetry books symbolizing wisdom and tradition.

Nowruz celebrations start at the exact moment of spring equinox, and conclude 13 days afterwards. Today marks the final day of the New Year celebrations, and it is customary to throw away the Sabzeh, the sprout that we have grown over the past two weeks. It has special significance this year in the context of Covid-19, as the belief is that the Sabzeh will have collected all the sickness, pain, and suffering of the past and of what may still lie ahead. Throwing the Sabzeh away reflects a wish to start afresh.

IGNITE Book Club & Nowruz Celebration at Asian Library – CANCELLED

By phchow on March 10, 2020

UPDATE on March 12: After much consultation and careful consideration, UBC Equity and Inclusion Office decided to cancel today’s IGNITE book club event. The cancellation of the event is a responsible decision in order to protect all our diverse communities. This is also following the safety precautions recommended by our provincial health authorities to best protect the health of the population with concerns around COVID-19 in large group settings.

The Equity and Inclusion Office is still planning a conservation between Annahid Dashtgard and Shirin Eshghi Furuzawa, which will be recorded. They will be sharing the recording online when it’s ready.

Thursday, March 12, 2020
Asian Centre 1871 West Mall

5:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Asian Library Upper Floor

Join us for IGNITE, an ongoing series of engagements with racialized authors at UBC’s Vancouver campus. Annahid Dashtgard, author of Breaking the Ocean: A Memoir of Race, Rebellion, and Reconciliation, will share insights into her works and finding joy amidst her experience of living as a racialized individual, author, and academic. Hosted by Shirin Eshghi, Head of UBC Asian Library.

6:15 PM to 7:30 PM
Reception with Persian Refreshments – Asian Centre Foyer
Performances – Asian Centre Auditorium

Nowruz, which literally means “a new day”, is the Persian New Year, celebrated for over 3,000 years by diverse communities in Western Asia, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Black Sea Basin, the Balkans, and South Asia. Celebrated on the first day of Farvardin (The first month of Persian Calendars), Nowruz marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It usually occurs around March 21, depending on where it is observed. The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year, and families gather together to celebrate the earth being reborn. The celebration usually starts Charshanbe Suri (Festive Wednesday) and ends with Sizdah Be Dar (Out With The Thirteen) which is on the thirteenth Farvardin. For Nowruz, people display a spread called Haft-Sin (Seven “S”s) which is an arrangement of seven symbolic items whose names start with the 15th letter in the Persian alphabet.

Free and open to all. Please register HERE.

Workshop—Japanese Scroll Mounting and Bookbinding in Conservation

By phchow on February 18, 2020

On February 11, UBC Library hosted a one-day workshop by renowned Japanese conservator Kazunori Oryū, who presented on Japanese scroll mounting and bookbinding in conservation. More than forty participants were in attendance, including local and out-of-town conservators, paper and print artists, members of Japanese heritage and cultural organizations, and UBC students, alumni, faculty, and staff.

In the workshop, Mr. Oryū not only outlined the basics of the structures and aesthetics of Japanese heritage materials as related to conservation, but also reported on his involvement as a technical supervisor in the multi-year rescue efforts for paper-based resources damaged during last October’s typhoon at the Kawasaki City Museum. Mr. Oryū also provided step-by-step demonstrations of how to handle heritage materials properly, and gave detailed explanations about preservation and conservation processes and techniques, using sample materials.

In the words of a participant, “thank you… for offering this fascinating event and for opening it up to the conservation community. Opportunities like this are rare.”

Mr. Oryū also met with library employees the following day to examine items from UBC Library’s own Japanese rare collections. He provided invaluable guidance with regards to the ongoing conservation needs of the items that were shown, and also espoused general strategies that could be used to care for the materials.

We are grateful to Mr. Oryū for sharing his time and expertise, and to Sheldon Armstrong, AUL Collections, for sponsoring this event.

Celebrate DIWALI with the Asian Library on Oct 25!

By phchow on October 4, 2019

Come and celebrate Diwali (Festival of Lights) with the Asian Library, with the support of Centre for India and South Asia Research (CISAR), alumni UBC and the Equity and Inclusion Office!

Friday, October 25, 2019
12:00 noon to 1:30 pm
Liu Institute for Global Issues, 6476 NW Marine Drive

Diwali or Deepavali, which means “a row of lights”, is the most widely celebrated festival in India and throughout the Indian diaspora. It is celebrated on Amavasya (darkest night or no moon day), it usually takes place at the end of October or the first week of November. Diwali marks the victory of good over evil, and the beginning of the New Year in India. The festival celebration, which typically lasts from five to seven days, is celebrated by several South Asian Communities, and by the majority of Indians regardless of faith, including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists and Christians. On Diwali, people decorate their houses with diyas, candles as well as colourful lights, and they share gifts and recite prayers.

UBC students, staff and faculty members are cordially invited to experience the diversity of South Asian culture through music, henna, and delicious refreshments.

All Diwali activities are free and no registration is required.
