created the Ishizue award and this special evening to acknowledge and express our appreciation and respect
to members or friends who have made exceptional contributions to the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre
over many years.
The name Ishizue, meaning cornerstone or foundation, pays tribute to the 75 families who, at significant
personal financial risk, guaranteed the original mortgage on the JCCC at 123 Wynford Drive in the early
1960’s.
In keeping with tradition, this year’s recipients are a very distinguished group of people who have madesignificant contributions to the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. They are:
Roy Asa, Hiroko Barall, Mits Ito, Noriko Maeda, Atsuko Nakayama, Kunio Suyama (posthumous), Toke Suyama, George Tsushima
An intimate and elegant dinner to honour these distinguished award recipients has been planned and we cordially invite family,
friends, and community to support this evening of celebration and recognition. In support of this dinner, the cost is $130 per person.
Please drop by the Centre to order to your tickets or call 416-441-2345 or email jccc@jccc.on.ca. by Friday April 5, 2019.

Nostalgia Night 2019
– It’s Karaoke Time!
This year Nostalgia Night will be honouring
the various Karaoke Clubs that have been
active in our community for many, many
years. We are in the process of confirming our list of Karaokegroups to be honoured, but it looks like we may even be able tohost an extra special Nostalgia Night event with the opportunity
to hear and participate in some Karaoke singing!
Karaoke clubs bring great enjoyment and pleasure to ourJC community and as we are seeing singing as a social activity
on the rise, honouring Karaoke is very relevant and pertinent
to our times. People can enjoy listening to singing, participate
in singing, socialize, and make new friends along the way. And
anything that helps us to build community and friendship is verymuch the mission of the JCCC.
So mark Sunday July 28, 2019 on your calendars andregister to join us for Nostalgia Night – a night of celebration,
meeting with family and friends, and of course good Japanese
Canadian food! Oh, and don’t forget to warm up your vocal
chords!!!

Spring Festival 2019
The weeks leading up to this year’s Spring Festival were filled with lots of snow, freezing rain
and extreme cold temperatures. Wiarton Willie predicted an early spring, but there are many
doubters to his prediction abilities. The Annual Spring Festival/ Haru Matsuri at the JCCC had us
all yearning for warmer temperatures and departure from the snow.
Upon entering the building, visitors were awed by the impressive Hina Ningyo doll display.
This visual sight and the beautiful wares of the many vendors in the hallways were a visualdelight.
In Kobayashi Hall, visitors found more vendors and cultural crafts as well as live 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 Kyowa Daiko were all showcased. We were also honoured to have Denzil MinnanWong, the city councilor for Don Valley East, drop in on Sunday.
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. In the Hosaki Room,
we had a bustling room of activities for children, including a colouring pages, kite-making, origami, andKimono dressing, all staffed by many enthusiastic volunteers.
With all that there was to see and do, it was no wonder why everyone had a great day!
The JCCC thanks the individuals, groups and organizations that provide the entertainment anddemonstrations. We also thank all the great volunteers and staff, who have helped raise this great
community tradition to new and greater heights!

Curators Yamashita & Kanbara
Take A Chance at the ROM

By John Ota

WARNING!: If you go to the ROM
and expect to see a traditional,
stand-alone exhibit of Japanese
Canadian art in a separate gallery –you will be disappointed.
However, if you are willing to
be open-minded and experiencesomething different, you will witness
a daring idea in the presentation of
Canadian art. On March 7, curators
Katherine Yamashita and Bryce Kanbara, who are also members of
the JCCC Art Committee, gave an engaging talk on the exhibition,
Being Japanese Canadian: Reflections on a broken world – and it
was different.
The big move is that the pieces of contemporary art that
express personal perspectives on the internment of Japanese
Canadians during the 1940s have intentionally been interspersedwith historic Canadian artefacts throughout the Sigmund SamuelGallery. That is - the pottery of David Hayashida filled with racist
messages against JCs, is integrated with the ROM’s exquisite
China cups and saucers of English high tea. Laura Shintani’s
bizarre but endearing inarizushi creatures sit amongst swooping,high-glam furniture pieces.
“The culture of western European art is already well
documented in museums,“ says Curator Yamashita. “But wewanted to show that because of colonial history, there is also art ofless recognized people that runs parallel with European art. It iswhat makes the show more compelling, if you give it a chance.”
Yamashita and Kanbara admitted that some visitors hated
the integrated art format. But not me. We are living in a time

6

when many ignored histories are being discovered, new stories arebeing told and much needed fresh air is whooshing through oldinstitutions. This gutsy installation features contemporary artists
who experienced this history first hand, and those who grapple with
their parents' and grandparents’ experiences. As one writer put it,
it is a Canadian secret in full view at the ROM. Give it a chance.

East of the Rockies: An Interactive
Approach to Japanese CanadianHistory
In March 2019, the JCCC
collaborated with design agency,
Jam3 in bringing the East of theRockies to the Moriyama Nikkei
Heritage Centre (MNHC). Eastof the Rockies is an experimental
AR narrative written by highly
acclaimed author, Joy Kogawa.
The narrative experience istold from the viewpoint of Yuki, a 17-year-old who was interned in
Slocan during the Second World War. The experience of Yuki, is
not unlike the experiences faced by many Issei and Nisei, which
made the story all the more powerful when experienced within the
5 Generations exhibit in the MNHC. Younger audience found theexperience highly engaging while the older audience appreciatedthe new story-telling approach in retelling an important part of
Canadian history.
The app is available for download on the App Store foriOS devices. The Jam3 team members are currently gathering
feedbacks on the experience. If you have comments, critique,or thoughts about the East of the Rockies, please sends themto heritage@jccc.on.ca or to Heritage Department, 6 Garamond
Court Toronto ON M3C 1Z5

Redefining Home:
A Story of Japanese Canadian
Resettlement in Toronto
By Theressa Takasaki

Way back in October, a group of students from the University ofToronto came to the JCCC to meet with Bryce Kanbara and I. They
were looking for information about Harold Kawasoe, a Japanese
Canadian who was known to have lived in the attic at Campbell
House when it was located at 54 Duke Street in Toronto. The U of T
students were tasked with finding out more about him and why he
was living in the attic.
After months of research and planning, the exhibit Redefining
Home: A Story of Japanese Canadian Resettlement in Toronto wasborn. The exhibit explores the lives of Harold and Hana Kawasoe
and how they came to live in the attic of Campbell House from 1948
to 1951. The exhibit also includes installations by Laura Shintani
and Lillian Michiko Blakey as part of the exploration of Japanese
Canadian resettlement.
Although the exhibit is only open at the Campbell House
Museum until Monday April 1, 2019, the JCCC is working with theCampbell House Museum staff to bring portions of the exhibit to the
JCCC in the near future.

Penguin Random House
Canada’s audio programis proud to publish Obasan
by Joy Kogawa in a new
audiobookformat,readbyprominent
Canadianbroadcaster Mary Ito. Thisaward-winning novel was firstpublished in 1981 and was
the first novel to tell the storyof the evacuation, relocation,and dispersal of Canadiancitizens of Japanese ancestry during the Second World War.
Obasan tells the moving story of Japanese Canadians
during the Second World War. Naomi is a sheltered and beloved
five-year-old when Pearl Harbor changes her life. Separated
from her mother, she watches bewildered as she and her family
become enemy aliens, persecuted and despised in their own
land. Surrounded by hardship and pain, Naomi is protected by
the resolute endurance of her aunt, Obasan and the silence of
those around her. Only after Naomi grows up does she return
to question the haunting silence. The Globe and Mail says
“Obasan’s power comes from the beauty of the writing, thestark imagery and vivid symbolism, and from the calm recitationof events that destroyed families, a culture, and a way of life.”
