April Movie

Good Morning ShowIn writer/director Ryoichi Kimizuka’s new hit comedy, Shingo (Kiichi Nakai) is a host for the
popular morning TV show "Good Morning Show." One morning, Shingo wakes up at 3am as
usual, only to become involved in a quarrel between his wife and son. Shingo arrives at thebroadcasting station and co-host Keiko (Masami Nagasawa) demands that he reveal theirromantic relationship live on air. Making things even worse, the producer informs Shingo thatthe show is about to be cancelled. As if his day isn’t complicated enough, a story breaks thata man with a shotgun is holding hostages at a cafe and is demanding that Shingo come tothe scene as a negotiator! Very funny with a deep streak of empathy for its characters, Good
Morning Show delivers a very good evening at the movies. Also starring Mirai Shida, Saburo
Tokito, Gaku Hamada, Yo Yoshida and Yutaka Matsushige.
		Sushi will be on sale prior to the screening.

May Movie

Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Latest Masterpiece Comes to the JCCC
Gentle and melancholy yet surprisingly amusing, the latest film bycelebrated Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-eda (Our Little Sister, Like
father Like Son) focuses on Ryota (Hiroshi Abe), a failed writer, thirdrate detective, and no-luck gambler who has become separated fromhis wife and young son. When a typhoon strikes one night, the broken
family is forced to spend the night together at the home of Ryota's
mother, where the ensuing interaction — free of melodrama or forced
catharsis — is tender, bittersweet, and quietly incisive, in true Kore-eda
style. A bit 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.
					Date: Thursday May 18, 2017 													Time: 7:00pm
		
Tickets: $10 (JCCC member); $12 (General)

7Spring Festival 2017
What crazy weather we have experienced this winter! With record setting
temperatures towards the end of February, there was great hope that wewould have similar weather the first weekend of March. While this was not tobe, thousands of visitors still showed up at the JCCC for the annual Spring
Festival/ Haru Matsuri.
Upon entering the building, visitors were awed by the impressive Hina
Ningyo doll display. But the visual attractions didn’t stop there. There werelots of vendors with their colourful wares and displays from our own Heritage
Archives. We were also treated to a taste of Anime with two areas sponsoredby Anime North. In the Hosaki Room, visitors could relax and view a varietyof anime films.

In Kobayashi Hall visitors found more vendors and cultural crafts as well aslive entertainment. Performances included all of the favourites, but saw many changes to make them new and exciting. The
Sakura Kai, the Ayame Kai, Sakuramai, the Himawari Buyo Kai, Ohana Hula and Kiri Koto Ensemble were all showcased. Isshin
Daiko also brought their fierce beats to echo throughout the Hall. We also saw a special performance by former members andstudents of Yakudo. While they have formally disbanded, their drums will become part of a new era of taiko here at the JCCC.
Of course, there were also the demonstrations of martial arts in the dojos, tea ceremonies, Japanese food in the Shokokai
Court and more vendors throughout the building. At the western end of our building, we had a bustling room of activities
for children, including colouring pages, open art creations, origami, and Kimono dressing, all staffed by many enthusiastic
volunteers. There was also the second Anime North activity, Project Cosplay, that saw teams create their own costumes in amini competition.
With all that there was to see and do, it was no wonder that everyone had a great day!
The JCCC thanks the individuals, groups and organizations that provide the entertainment and demonstrations. We also
thank all the great volunteers and staff, who have all helped raise this great community tradition to new and greater heights!

Heritage News

By Lindsay Parsons

Since the end of November 2016, I have been working here
at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre as the Archives
Assistant. My position and the project I am working on weremade possible by the Documentary Heritage Communities
Program grant (DHCP) which the JCCC, in partnership with
the Nikkei National Museum, was fortunate enough to receive
this year. The DHCP strives to provide assistance in having
Canada’s histories and memories documented and madeaccessible to the community. Over the past four months, I havebeen conducting an inventory of all the documents, artefacts,
and photographs that relate to Nikkei Veterans from World

War I, World War II, and the Korean War that we have here in
the Archives. I have been cataloguing items as I go as well as
ensuring they are stored properly. Additionally, I’ve done quite
a bit of research both in and outside of the archival material
in order to create a small exhibition telling the stories of someNikkei Veterans and finding the best artefacts and documentsthat will help to tell their stories.
Completing this project for the JCCC has been afascinating experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed sorting
through the archives and finding so many interesting treasuresand memories. The most meaningful part of the job, however,has been being able to hear all the personal stories from thearchive volunteers and other community members. It has beena wonderful opportunity to immerse myself in this history.

Found in our Archives!

Coming up in the Gallery!

One of our long time volunteers, Toshie, has been working
diligently for the past several months cataloguing the collectionof photographs and documents belonging to Yosh Hyodo.
Recently, she came across this photo, titled “Official Board,
Vancouver Japanese United Church, 1941” (2014.26.06.97.26).
This beautiful photograph shows a great level of detail and wewould love to be able to identify more of the people in the photo.
If you recognize any of the people in this photo, please contact
Theressa at the JCCC or email heritage@jccc.on.ca.

ご挨拶とNJCC代表交代のお知らせ
トロント新移住者協会がJCCCの傘下になる事が可決され、団体名をNJCAからNJCC（新日系コミッティー）に改名し旧・新メンバーと気持ちを新たに出発したのは2015年春の事でした。総会の終わりの方では私が新代表として紹介され、不安と希望を胸に抱えて皆様にお辞儀をした事が、何年も前のように思えて仕方ありません。実際にはあれから約2年。。。兎に角がむしゃらでした。NJCAの歴史と先輩方の気持ちを忘れないように、そしてJCCCとの融合をスムーズに運ぶ事に心を注ぎました。旧NJCAプロジェクトを守りながら、NJCCとしての新たな活動も繰り広げました。周囲の方々はヒヤヒヤしながら私達の事を見守っておられたと思いますが、最近になってようやく「NJCCにして正解だったわね。」というお声を頂けるようになり、
これ程のご褒美はないほど嬉しく、そして安堵感を感じました。いつも素晴らしいチームワークのNJCC
コミッティーメンバー、協力的なJCCC理事とスタッフの方々、そしてサポートを惜しまないNJCA先輩のお陰で今に至る事が出来たのです。本当に有難く思っています。
代表は1年の任期だと思っていましたが、あっと言う間に2年目に入っていました。私はJCCC理事も務めており、ボランティアの活動量は増え続ける一方でした。それと同時に私のビジネスが更に忙しくなり、全てをやり遂げる事に限界を感じ始めました。去年の夏から考えた末、今期で代表を降りる決心をした事を本日皆様にお伝えさせて頂きます。
微力な私でしたが、今まで暖かく支えて下さった事に心から感謝しております。来期（4月1日）からは代表補佐という形でNJCCコミッティーメンバー、そしてJCCC理事として活動を続けて行きますので、続けて宜しくお願い致します。
また、
新しいNJCC代表には二人が選抜されました。劉東光（りゅう・とうこう）と武元昭儒（たけもと・あきひと）です。
これから、二人三脚で頑張ってくれると思います。
それでは、今後もどうぞNJCCを宜しくお願い致します。
ラシュトン美紀

次期代表に選ばれた劉東滉と申しま す。私 は 東 京 に 生 まれ、16歳の頃にオタワにある高校に編入して以来、大学も含め
オタワとトロントで9年間を過ごしました。
その後中国に約2年間滞在、東京に舞い戻った後は貿易会社の営業で各国を飛び回りました。8年程サラリーマンとして闘い燃え尽き、2年程ネット副業と主夫をこなしながら人生の意味について考察する事に。その結果、カナダに帰る決意をして2007年に家族で移住する運びになりました。キャリアチェンジでリアルターに転身するも、現在も“貧乏暇なし”で日々忙しくしています。NJCCにて去年からボランティア活動を始めました。
お役に立てるかは分かりませんが、日系社会の為に何か出来ないか頑張りますので宜しくお願い致します。
        劉東滉

次期NJCCの代表を務めることになりました武元昭儒と申します。NJCCメンバーとして去年より活動をしています。簡単に自己紹介をしますと、2003年にバンクーバーにて航空留学。約1年間の留学で飛行機の免許取得。
その後一旦日本に戻り、2005年の8月に再びカナダに来ました。翌年の2006年11月には永住権を取得。その後様々な人生経験を得て、現
在は旅行会社で法人営業をしながら団体旅行の添乗員としても活躍しています。そしてカナダで生まれた7歳の息子が通う日加学園では、今年から会計理事を務めてさせて頂いております。趣味は飛行機操縦？そして音楽仲間とライブをしたりして、
トロント紅白歌合戦にも2年連続で出場させて頂きました。
私共NJCCの使命はカナダにおける更なる日系社会の繁栄です。
これからもJCCCと共に様々な日系イベント等を通して日本文化、日本語などの継承を行っていきたいと考えております。 カナダ、また日本も共に素晴らしい国です。
この2つの国の架け橋となるべく日々精進して参りますので、皆様どうぞ宜しくお願い致します。
               武元昭儒
