Shiseido Canada Donates Sakura in
Celebration of its 150th Anniversary
On September 27th, two organizations dedicated to beauty – Shiseido Canada and the Toronto Japanese Garden Club came together to beautify the JCCC. As part of a project to celebrate Shiseido’s 150 anniversary we planted 35 new sakura
around the grounds with plans to plant another 30 in the spring. The day was full of laughter, hard work and fortunately,
no rain. It was a perfect manifestation the JCCC model and what is best about our generous friends. We look forward to
sharing o-hanami under the blossoms very soon.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Issei Day 2022
Issei Day was the first official event held at the JCCC at 123 Wynford Drive almost 60 years ago. Since that time, wehave run many Issei Days at which we have honoured the Seniors in our community.
This year, due to continued concerns for the safety of our Seniors, the JCCC made the extremely difficult decision tooffer the traditional bento for pick up for the third year in a row. With the assistance of Toriichii Catering, JCCC staff, Board
Members and volunteers, more that 370 bento were prepared, packed and distributed from 5 locations across the GTA.
Many thanks to our community partners; Japanese Gospel Church of Toronto, Kyoda Plastics, Momiji HealthCare Society and Toronto Buddhist Church, who allowed us to use their locations as pick up points.
Thank you to Dawna Kobayashi and Karen Webb for delivering bento to 2 local senior’s residences.
Arigatou Gozaimasu to Chef Ishii, his family and staff for preparing the delicious food.
Much appreciation goes out to JCCC staff, board members and volunteers, who assisted with packing anddistribution.
This pandemic has been difficult for everyone, but it has been especially difficult for our seniors. Although restrictions
are lifted and Covid cases are less severe, our seniors are at the highest risk and many are still isolated and out of contact
with the community. The JCCC misses everyone and is grateful to have had the opportunity to brighten the day of evena few members in the community. We are ever hopeful to see everyone back in the building next year.

Celebrate New Year’s Day the Japanese way with a feast!
We are working with Chef Ishii of Toriichi Catering to develop a specially prepared New Year bento, which will include
many of the osechi ryori favourites that are traditional to eat on New Year’s Day.
Osechi ryori items are eaten to bring the person a special wish for the New Year. Some of the items that may be included
are: Datemaki (sweet egg roll) - for scholarship and learning; Kuro mame (sweet black beans) – for health; Ebi (shrimp) – forlongevity; Kobu maki (Kelp roll) – for happiness; Kuri kinton (Chestnut puree) – for wealth.
Bento pick up will be at the JCCC on the afternoon of Sunday January 1 at 12:30pm. You can order for pick up or
join us with your friends and family and enjoy your meal together with us. Check our website for more details about
the dine in option.
This special edition Shinnen Kai bento will be $65 plus HST and only be available in limited quantities. Online ticket sales
will begin on Thursday December 1, 2022. Please watch for more information on our website and in our next newsletter.

again after 2 years of postponement.
The funds raised from the tournament will be used to support Heritage initiatives and programming at the JCCC. These are all events that involve getting the community and different
generations together to learn about Japanese Canadian history. We did some extra fundraising
this year to help cover costs of a JCCC 60th Anniversary timeline display for 2023. Thank you allfor your generosity in supporting the fundraising tables and hope you had fun playing the games.
We encourage everyone to join us next year for another great day!! It is always a "Texas Scramble" format (Best Ball)
tournament designed to incorporate all family members, whether novice or experienced, in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
This year was also the first time ever that we had a player hit a hole-in-one on the Closest to the Pin contest hole. Congratulations to Mel Ito!
A special thank you and appreciation to all our sponsors this year:

Mark your Calendars – December 1 @ JCCC

The Samurai Blue Project is a LIVE viewing event tosupport the Japanese national soccer team in the World
Cup. This year marks the fourth time since 2010 that
we have contributed to the community, in particular, theJapanese Canadian community here in Toronto, throughsports, by showing the excitement that unfolds at eachtournament.
As far back as 2010, in South Africa, the JCCC has
held a pre-game party the day before the games, andheld a public viewing event from 6:00am the next morning with over 500 people in attendance. In 2014, theevent was tied with a charity event for the Great East
Japan Earthquake [Kick it for Japan], with the supportof Japanese companies and organizations in Toronto.
“I love Japan.”“I want to show my children that passion.”“I'm glad there is an event in Toronto that I canbring my kids to.”“I was happy to be able to bring my children tothis event in Toronto," he said. "The first time I letthem play soccer there, they fell in love with thesport.”As restrictions have been lifted and people are gradually getting back to their daily lives, it is a great opportunity for the community to come together and support
each other through a sporting event in the Toronto
Nikkei community.
Our mission is to make the joy of sports even greaterby inviting not only the Japanese community but also
other communities in the GTA to participate in an event
through sports. Our mission is to create a charitable
event for the Japanese community in Canada throughsport.
The 2022 Qatar Games will be held in the winter,
unlike in previous years.
We are pleased to once again partner with the JCCC
to host SBP2022, a winter World Cup that no one hasever experienced before.
Many kids lost their opportunities to play various
sports due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
This event will contribute to our commitment to the future of kids through sports and we look forward to your enthusiastic support of the community.
**
The 2026 games will be held in North America and will be held in Toronto and Vancouver. We hope that Toronto will bea candidate to host the 2026 games or training camp for the Japanese national team and that the Japanese community
will be ready to welcome the Japanese national team.

VOLUNTEER NEWSVOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

The JCCC underwent a huge renovation project that stretched over almost theentire month of September. With the support of a few key volunteers, we were able
to refurbish the seats of almost 300 of our blue chairs. These chairs are used day
in and day out at the JCCC and were in desperate need of the recovering.
A HUGE thank you to Russ, Mark, Camber, Les, Jerome and Timothy. There were
two teams who came in for a few hours each week to remove the seats to ship out forrecovering and to replace the seats on the frames. Due to their diligence and effort,
you are sure to find a more comfortable seat when you attend events at the JCCC.
If you have handyman skills and have time to offer, we would love to add you
to our volunteer roster. Please visit our website for more information on how tovolunteer at the JCCC.

his term to lead the JCCC through the second year of the
COVID-19 pandemic as President. Gary continued to work

健やかな老後をめざしてその57-股関節の痛み...
マーナ豊澤英子（ 医学博士 老年看護スペシャリスト

mernagh@rogers.com ）50代後半にハードな舞踊の稽古が続き、股関節と膝の痛みが起こりました。整形外科にて検査すると、股関節の状態と動きはOKでした。
しかし「変
形性ひざ関節症のグレード１（軽度）」と診断されました。
検査では、治療の対象となる問題は股関節には見つからなかったのです！
ところが、
整体術
（手技により骨格のゆがみや異常を整え、健康増進をはかる民間療法：カイロプラクティック・ケア）
では丁寧に身体のあらゆる箇所を点検し、「股関節が内側に入り込みやすいことが膝などのトラブルの原因である」
ことを指摘しました。
人それぞれに座り方、立ち方、歩き方などに癖があり、知らず知らずのうちに股関節に負担がかかっています。
それらが積み重な
ると、膝や脚のトラブルへと繋がります。
まず、股関節を良肢位（本来の望ましいポジション）に整えていきました。
もちろん、歩き方や靴の選び方に注意し、膝の機能を維持するための筋力アップとストレッチを心がけました。
定期的に股関節と膝の健康診断
（整体術）
を
受け、
正しい姿勢が取れているか、
ゆがみや痛みを生じていないかを確認しました。
長年にわたって身に付いた癖はそう簡単には変わりません！しかし、早く気づけば、それだけ悪化を防げます。
1年後には股関節と膝の痛みは完全に消失しました。
その後はセルフケアに心がけており、71歳の現在まで問題を生じていません。
股関節は、骨盤と大腿骨をつなぐ関節です。
骨盤の臼蓋（きゅうがい）というくぼみに、大腿骨の先端（骨頭）がはまった構造です。
股関節の痛みの原因は様々ですが、もっとも多いのは「変形性股関節症」
です。
また、骨折や股関節周辺の腱や筋肉の炎症などでも痛みが生じます。

20

変形性股関節症とは、股関節の関節軟骨がすり減って、痛みや変形を生じる病気です。
変形が進むと歩く・立つ・座る等の日常動作が困難となります。
多くの場合は生まれつきの骨の形が原因であり、それに加えて、スポーツ、
妊
娠・肥満による体重増加や加齢などの要因によって悪化しやすくなります。
脚の付け根の違和感や痛み、
太ももや膝の痛み、
あぐらがかきにくくなった等の症状があれば、悪化を防ぐために早目に受診することが大事です。
私の場合は、有難いことに股関節の構造・機能に異常はなく、姿勢に関連した筋肉の慢性的緊張による痛みであることに気づき、早期に対応したことが幸いでした。
もし変形性股関節症と診断されたら、まずは症状を軽減するための保存療法が行われます。股関節に負担のかからない暮らし方を心がけましょう。
肥満があれば減量を！重い荷物は負担がかかります。
足への衝撃を避けるた
めに「足先のゆとり、甲を固定、かかとを包み込む固さ、靴底に適度な硬さと弾力、広くて安定した低いヒール」の条件を満たす靴がお勧めです。
運動療法は股関節の可動範囲を広げ、筋肉を強化するために大切です。
ジ
グリング（貧乏ゆすり：腰と膝を直角に曲げて腰かけ、片脚ずつかかとを２～３㎝上げ下げして細かく揺する）、
パカパカ体操（腰かけてリラックスし、足裏を床から離さずに両肢を開く・閉じるを繰り返す）
を疲れない程度に行います。
また、水中歩行は股関節を支える筋肉を鍛えます。強い痛みには内服薬が処方されることがあります。
保存療法で改善しなければ、手術について担当医と検討することになるでしょう。

through art between Japan and Canada, and in 2020 it was a finalist for the Toronto Arts Foundation Roy Thomson Hall
Award for its contribution to Toronto’s musical life.
