SPECIAL MESSAGE

O-Hanami • お花見
O-Hanami (お花見) literally means "flower viewing", however, it commonly refers only to cherry blossom viewing. Because their life is very
short, cherry blossom viewing is easy: Simply take time to enjoy theintensity of the many blossoms by looking at a single tree or a group oftrees. From a distance, the trees appear as beautiful clouds, while thebeauty of single blossoms can be enjoyed from a close distance. Cherry
blossoms are a symbolic flower of the spring, a time of renewal, and thefleeting nature of life. Their beauty peaks after around two weeks andthe blossoms start to fall.
During cherry blossom season, it is typical to have hanami parties—
cherry blossom viewing parties where visitors can sit and enjoy the viewof the cherry trees while enjoying a picnic with friends. Hanami parties
have been held for thousands of years in Japan.
The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre has more than 60 trees onsite, on the east, south and west sides of the building, with more to comethis spring. Some of the trees were gifted to us the Sakura Project, an
initiative of the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto. The rest wereplanted by Shieido in honour of their 150th Anniversary.
Typically, our trees blossom in late April through early May. For 2022,
peak viewing season was May 4 to 13. From now until through the end ofviewing season, the JCCC Giftshop will have a selection of sakura themed
items. If you are coming to the JCCC to for O-Hanami, consider coming
into the building to visit NAKAMORI for a light snack, or to see Strengthin Sixty Sakura, our 60th Anniversary Art Installation by Elysha Rei.

While you are here we ask that you respect all posted signs
and use proper O-Hanami etiquette:• Be respectful of these delicate trees. Please do not pull or shakebranches. Do not pick blossoms. Do not climb trees or stand on their roots.
• Please do not leave garbage in the area. Leave the area beautiful for the next visitors to enjoy.
• Please park only in designated parking spots. Do not stop your vehicle in the laneway or stand in a place that may
put you, or others in danger.

performed three times at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

界の美しさ、
そして戦争の悲惨さを考えめぐらせてほしいとの願いが込もっています。

THIS MONTH IN THE KOBAYASHI HALL

SHIN ULTRAMAN
シン・ウルトラマン
Thursday April 20 at 7:00pm
Admission$8.85 +HST ($10) JCCC member$10.62 +HST ($12) General“As good as the action scenes may be, the best thing about Shin Ultraman is the way it gives us reasons to care about
the characters at the center of the story instead of just the spectacle.” – Film Inquiry
Japan’s biggest tokusatsu-vs.-kaiju series gets a revival courtesy of Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, the team behind Shin
Godzilla, to bring a new, more modern take on Ultraman. When giant Kaiju start attacking Japan and conventional weapons
are ineffective, the government gathers specialists and establishes the “Kaiju Special Countermeasures Office Task Force”
led by Kimio Tamura (Hidetoshi Nishijima), Hiroko Asami (Masami Nagasawa), and Shinji Kaminaga (Takumi Saitoh), a man
who can transform into a hero the size of a giant: Shin Ultraman!
“Shin Ultraman” is essentially a kid-friendly parable about how surreal and labyrinthine our world seems when contrasted
with the child-like simplicity of a mute hero who can grow really tall and shoots lasers from his karate-chopping hands. “ShinUltraman” is also a superior giant monster movie, replete with colorful reptilian and squid-like monsters” – RogerEbert.com
It has received eight nominations at the 46th Japan Academy Awards, including Picture of the Year and Director of theYear. Great family–friendly fun with a stellar cast.
Starring: Takumi Saito, Masami Nagasawa, Hidetoshi Nishijima, Soko Wada, Daiki Arioka, Akari Hayami

CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS

Martial Arts News
Once again we would like to express our appreciation for the effort that all Martial Arts participants have been making since we reopened the programs in the Fall of 2022. The Martial
Arts Administrative Team receives a lot of feedback from our staff and each individual Martial
Arts program both from participants and from the teaching staff. We are always trying tofind ways to make the JCCC Martial Arts experience better for all involved.
One area where we received a lot of feedback regarded the 2022 Summer classes. Manyof you expressed concerns about paying for classes when you were on holidays or paying for
reduced availability of classes. To accommodate these concerns, the JCCC is introducing a
new Summer Fee Schedule. This new fee will include the reduction of the price of classes forthe months of July and August by 50%.
You will still pay a flat fee for your Series, fees will still need to be paid during the Series registration time and we will
not be processing partial Series payments. But everyone will benefit from these reduced fees.
Please check the Starting Martial Arts page for the listing of the new Summer Fees.

Cooking for Active Seniors

HERITAGE

Strength in Sixty Sakura
The JCCC 60th Anniversary Exhibit Team is pleased to announce that
Strength in Sixty Sakura by Elysha Rei has been selected as our 60th Anniversary
Art Installation.
Elysha Rei is a Japanese Australian artist that explores narratives of cultural
identity, site-specific history and environmental elements through paper cutting
and public art. She is currently undertaking a PhD at QUT exploring how Nikkei
Australian artists navigate their identity through creative arts practice. Rei has
created and exhibited work, curated exhibitions and managed cultural spaces
across Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, Thailand and the US. She has
been an invited artist in residence for Museum of Brisbane, Artspace Mackay, andBarcaldine Arts Council. In 2018, she was the recipient of an Asialink Arts Creative
Exchange in Japan. From February to April 2023 Rei will be an artist in residence
in Victoria BC, Canada, as part of the Past Wrongs Future Choices global project.
Of her concept, Rei says “In Japan, the Sakura cherry blossom represent resilience and re-birth; a poignant connection to the JCCC's 60th anniversary in 2023.”
The beautiful installation of 60 hand-cut paper sakura blossoms will be installed at
the end of April and will be a featured installation throughout our 60th anniversary.
Elysha Rei will be part of JCCC’s visual art programming for Nuit Blanche Toronto in 2023.

Coming Soon - Alexa Hatanaka at the JCCC
Coming up this fall will be an exhibition of the work of Alexa Hatanaka. She will be showing new paper-based work inspired by her time in Japan at Kashiki Seishi, a generations-old washi mill in the famous Tosa Washi region. Alexa will also be
working with Taiko drummers and Japanese dancers to create a performance using some of her wearable paper art pieces.
Alexa Hatanaka will be part of JCCC’s visual art programming for Nuit Blanche Toronto in 2023.

健やかな老後をめざして その61 - 高齢者の不整脈
マーナ豊澤英子（ 医学博士 老年看護スペシャリスト

少し押さえると脈がわかります。
1分間、その回数を数えてみましょう。
通常60～100回ほどです。
何度か測定すると平均的な回数をつかめます。
慣れてくると、強弱（指を持ち上げようとする拍動の力）やリズムの乱れ（消失、不規則など）がわかるようになります。
加齢とともに期外収縮は増えます。

誘因となる自律神経の乱れ、不規則な生活、
過労やストレス、
アルコ
ールやカフェインの摂りすぎ、喫煙などに注意し、もし気になる症状があれば受診しましょう。
心房細動の場合、心房の周囲で異常な電気信号が発生し、1分間に400～600回震えます。即いのちに関わることはありません。
しかし、心房が細かく震えると血液を十分に送り出せなくなり、心房内の血液がよどんで血栓ができやすくなり、その血栓が脳まで運ばれて脳梗塞が起こるリスクがあります。
75歳以上では、高血圧や糖尿病などの要因と相まってリスクは高まります。
また、
心房細動が長期間続くと心室の収縮力が低下し、血液を全身に十分に送ることができなくなり、心不全の原因ともなります。
脈の乱れ、動

悸やめまいなどを自覚しない人も多いので、脈をチェックした時「とても速い状態」
が頻回にあれば、ぜひ受診しましょう！
心房細動と診断されたら、合併症予防のための薬物療法が行われます。
脳梗塞の発症リスクが高ければ、血液を固まりにくくする抗凝固薬が処方されます。
副作用として出血が起こりやすくなるので、消化管出血や脳出血などに注意します。
また、心臓に負担がかからないように抗不整脈（目的：脈の乱れを防ぐ/心拍数を減らす）が処方されます。
薬だけで完全に抑えることができなければ、心房細動の原因となっている心筋を焼く治療法（カテーテルアブレーション）
が行われます。

徐脈とは「心臓を動かす電気信号がうまく伝わらずに、
拍動が1分間に50回以下になった状態」
です。
加齢に伴い、徐脈になる人は増えていきます。
すぐに命に関わることはないので、自覚症状がなければ経過観察が基本です。
しかし、脳への血流不足でめまいや失神が生じたり、息切れ、
倦怠感や足のむくみなどの自覚症状が生じたりして生活に支障があれば、心臓の働きを助ける機器（ペースメーカー）を植え込む手術が行われます。
