After the Storm

Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Latest Masterpiece comes to the JCCC
Gentle and melancholy yet surprisingly amusing, the latest filmby celebrated Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-eda (Our Little
Sister, Like Father Like Son) focuses on Ryota (Hiroshi Abe),a failed writer, third-rate detective and no-luck gambler who
has become separated from his wife and young son. When atyphoon strikes one night, the broken family is forced to spend
the night together at the home of Ryota's mother, where theensuing interaction — free of melodrama or forced catharsis— is tender, bittersweet, and quietly incisive, in true Kore-eda
style. A big hit at TIFF, this is one of the best films of 2016. Also
starring Kirin Kiki, Yoko Maki and Satomi Kobayashi.
Sushi will be on sale prior to the screening.

Heritage News

April was a busy month in Heritage, with many new donations,
the Founder's Exhibit closing and starting our annual search for
Summer Students. Perhaps the most notable of our donations
was one that was a little bit offbeat though! Early in April wewere lucky enough to receive a donation of 30 new-to-us officechairs, which we split between the Administration Offices andthe Nikkei Heritage Resource Centre work room. The chairscame to us through Green Standards, a company that accepts
furniture from businesses who no longer need it and transfers
it to not-for-profits who do. Having a full set of identical chairs
has gone a long way towards making us feel a little bit more
settled, as well as making life a little bit more comfortable forour volunteers.
As well, we have begun our search for 2 Summer Students.
For the past several years we have been fortunate to receive
funding for Summer Students through Young Canada Worksand Canada Summer Jobs. Our Summer Students haveworked on database entry, cataloguing the collection, reworking
our storage rooms and exhibition installations.
If you or someone you know might be interested, pleasecontact heritage@jccc.on.ca.

Found in our Archives!
Working in the Archives is often about the intersections between
lives and communities. Recently, we were asked for information
about Fred Kondo, a Japanese Canadian artist who painted“Evacuation” (2006.01.01). This painting is within our collection
and for many years hung on the wall of the Nikkei Heritage
Resource Room. Although we did not have any significant
information on Mr. Kondo, we were able to find information
on some of the history of the painting within the George andKinzie Tanaka collection. The painting was presented to the
Co-Operative Committee by the National JCCA in recognitionof, and gratitude for, the great service this Committee has
rendered to Japanese Canadians through democratic actions,as a representative body of a large section of the Canadianpublic, during the period 1943 to 1951.

JCCC Gallery Founders Art Presentation
Submitted by the Arts Committee

They were in it with all their heart.
On March 26, Gary Kawaguchi, President of the JCCC and 50 membersof the public unveiled a plaque honouring the Founders of the JCCC Gallery.
The JCCC Gallery Founders, Aiko Suzuki, Walter Sunahara, Michiko
Nakamura, Louise Noguchi and Banri Nakamura were honoured as thereason the JCCC Gallery is the envy of many other cultural organizations.
They were a dedicated band, determined to make art a premiere featurein the new JCCC Building. It was an act of enlightenment on their part and
the JCCC Board.
At the event, members of the gallery's founding generation of artists gave
engaging commentaries on their works in the exhibition. Participating artists
were the Nakamuras, Yoshiko Sunahara, and Ken Fukushima.
Picasso wrote: “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
Thanks to the Founders, the JCCC can continue this legacy.

ARTIST NEWS: Japanese Canadian(JC) Artist Web Directory
Submitted by the Arts Committee

Did you know that Japanese Canadians and beavers have a lotin common?
Well… sort of. But, for the past year a small group ofJapanese Canadians have been busy as beavers working tocreate a Japanese Canadian Artist Web Directory.
The project is being led by a Partnership Team of SusanneTabata, of the National Association of Japanese Canadians(NAJC), Emiko Murata, of the Powell Street Festival Society(PSFS) along with Bryce Kanbara and John Ota of the Art
Committee, Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC).
It is a cross-Canada venture to establish an electronic
website of names, contact information and samples of JC
artists.
“We have three main goals for the website,” says Bryce
Kanbara. “We want to increase awareness of JC artists,
encourage JC artists to network with the public and each otherand also to announce events, profile artists and job possibilities.”
While the idea of starting a website originated in Vancouver,
it was at JC Artist Symposium supported by the JCCC in April
2016 in Toronto, that determined that an Artist Directory Website
could be the centrepiece of revitalizing JC art. The new online
resource would be an updated version of Aiko Suzuki’s 1994
publication, Japanese Canadians in the Arts - A Directory ofProfessionals. The Suzuki publication contained information onover 215 artists under the following discipline headings: AppliedArts, Architecture, Film/Video, Literary Arts, Music, Performing
Arts, Traditional Arts, Visual Arts, and Emerging Artists.
The Partnership Team has hired a website designer and writers
with a launch targeted for September 2017.
“A key incentive for the website is to preserve a legacy
for past JC artists who might be forgotten in the digital age,“says Susanne Tabata. “We want to showcase those who haveproduced works in the 20th century, and whose contributions
are part of the rich tapestry of artistic expression in Canada.”
But the website is also for the present and future JC artists.
“2017 is Canada’s 150th anniversary and there is impetus tohonour Canadian culture in all of its diverse forms, including
Japanese Canadian artists,” says Emiko Morita. “We want toprovide a space where established and emerging artists cancommunicate with one another, for promotional and mentorshipreasons.”
The Partnership Team is grateful for funding from the
Canada Council of the Arts and the NAJC in support of the JC
Web Directory.
If you are interested in volunteering to support the JC Artist
website or require further information, please contact: John Ota

His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston,
Governor General of Canada, Presents the Meritorious Service Medal (Civil Division)
to Patricia S. Adachi, M.S.M.
The JCCC congratulates Pat Adachi on her very well-deserved honour. Pat wrote Asahi: A Baseball
Legend, the true story of a Japanese-Canadian team “and how it used their captivating style ofbrainball to overcome their adversaries. Many of those adversaries were taller and stronger
Hakujin players.” By shedding light on the challenges these players overcame during World War II
and the dark period of Japanese-Canadian internment, she has not only preserved the history of atalented team, but also illuminated the healing power of sport. Pat states, “Just as our heroes did,I evolved my practice because their kind of resourcefulness and broad community involvement had
widespread application and does so even up to today.”

Submitted by the JCCP Committee

It is finally starting to feel likespring and hanami (cherry
blossom viewing) is rightaround the corner. In Japan,
hanami is synonymous withhaving picnics in the park
under the beautiful blooming
sakura trees.
This year, we’re celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday, alsowith a picnic, on Canada Day no less. While there are no sakura
trees at Caledon Place, it is still the perfect place to hold the 40th
annual JC Community Picnic. Mark your calendars; the picnic
date is Saturday, July 1, 2017.
We’ve gathered the troops and the committee has alreadystarted planning for the big day. We’ll have all of our favourite
events such as BINGO, the fishing derby, and crowd favourite games and races.
The picnic has been held almost annually since 1977,
making it a long-running family tradition for many Japanese
Canadian families in Southern Ontario. It is not unusual to seesome families bring out as many as 4 generations from year toyear.
We hope that we will see lots of familiar faces, and somenew ones as well. This event is open to everyone, so pleasetell your friends and family and let’s all come together to enjoy
Canada Day in the scenic rolling hills of Caledon.
Stay tuned for updates and we hope to see all of you there
on July 1st!
