Greeting from the
Executive Director

館長メッセージ

I am happy to report that our gradual reopening has started and has been progressing smoothly so far.
As you know, we continue to open on an event-by-event basis with strict safety and cleaning protocols in place. Toursof our new MARU: IMMIGRATION STORIES permanent exhibition in the Moriyama Nikkei Heritage Centre and the
BROKEN PROMISES installation in the JCCC Gallery have been very popular and the response has been extremely
positive. Please book your tour soon! Community groups such as language schools and kenjinkai have rented spaces forevents. We find our vaccination checking procedures are working well and the renters themselves have been very cooperative, well-organized and safety-conscious. This month we will be reopening some of our martial arts and cultural programswith early 2022 targeted for a broader reopening. October’s Issei Day was fully booked and, although registrants had
to pick up their bento again this year, it was wonderful to see so many familiar smiling faces. Our third annual Toronto
Japanese Film Festival in Hibiya just wrapped up a week of live screenings in Tokyo.
The second Keep the Lantern Lit Fundraiser will be held this month and, based on the popularity of last year’s, we
expect it to sell out. It makes for a fun at-home evening featuring the finest of Japanese culture.
The Board of Directors, Staff and the Reopening Task Force are working very hard to keep your Centre viable and safe.
Of course, none of this could have happened without the great support of you, the community and the membership. Thankyou for standing behind us. We are almost there.

JCCC AGM Review
On Monday September 27 2021, the JCCC held its’ Annual General Meeting for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.
President Gary Kawaguchi noted that this has still been a difficult year for the JCCC and for the community. The Centre
has been able to weather the storm with government subsidies which has helped offset costs. It is unknown how much
longer we will still be able to receive these subsidies but we do have a credit facility set up from the JCCC Foundation incase we will need it. He commented that we are grateful to the JCCC staff for all that they have done the last 18 months.
In particular the Maru exhibit – which was all worked on and completed during Covid. This is a model that may be adopted
by other organizations globally. He expressed appreciation to Su Yen, Theressa, Sandy and Jan. Karen Webb will be the
VP Heritage for next term.
We are pleased to announce the 2021-2024 Board of Directors. Every year 6 Directors are nominated for a 3 year term
and the slate approved this year are: Mark Hashimoto, Chris Hope, Kristin Kobayashi-Reid, Linda Ono, Nao Seko and Brian
Toda. There is also a 1year term that will be filled by David Moritsugu.
The rest of the Board are: Ann Ashley, Jiro Fukushima, Gary Kawaguchi, Karen Gordon, Seiji Ichii, Keiichi Kubo, Jan
Nobuto, John Ota, Cary Rothbart, Elaine Shigeishi, Karen Webb. Ryan Lang will be representing Nikkei National Museum
and Cultural Centre in Burnaby BC. Past President is Marty Kobayashi, and current Advisors are Steve Oikawa, Sid Ikeda,
Christine Nakamura, Connie Sugiyama, Bill Hatanaka and Mackenzie Clugston.
The JCCC Board of Directors appreciate your support and patience as we cautiously and diligently work on plans forthe future of the Centre during these unprecedented Covid times.

The Province of BC has provided Nikkei Seniors with
$2 million as part of its commitment to honour seniors
who lived through the traumatic uprooting and displacement of almost 22,000 Japanese Canadians during
the Second World War.
This funding is primarily targeted at seniors who weredirectly impacted – uprooted and displaced – by the BC
Government during this period. Seniors whose families
left BC during the war but were born out of province
from 1942- April 1st, 1949 are part of this demographic.
The fund will be distributed in Canada. These funds will
be distributed in Canada through large and small organization grants as well as to individuals who apply andreceive approval.
The JCCC is applying, under the Large Organization
category, for a grant focused on providing community
outreach support to our past and present JCCC members who are JC Survivors. To help us, we are requesting
all JC survivors or their families to fill in this simple
survey. This information will assist us with our grantapplication and the ensuing program we hope to provide.
Currently, we are working to identify these survivors
in our community. As such, we kindly ask all those survivors or their families to fill in this simple survey. This
information is used strictly for data collection, and forthe purpose of this grant only.

一世の日

Issei Day
For 57 years the JCCC has held Issei Day onsite, but once again, the Covid-19 pandemic prevented this from occurring this year.
For a second year, the JCCC Board of Directors offered the traditional
bento for pick up. This allowed many of our community seniors the opportunity to enjoy the delicious bento at home where they would be safe. With
the assistance of Toriichii Catering, some JCCC staff, Board Members andselected volunteers, more that 380 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 Health Care Society and Toronto Buddhist
Church, who allowed us to use their locations as pick up points.
Thank you to Mrs. Dawna Kobayashi, Mr. Eizo Oka and Mrs. Karen Webb for delivering bento to 3 local senior’s residences and Chef Ishii, his family and staff for preparing the food.
Much appreciation goes out to JCCC staff, board members and volunteers, who assisted with packing and distribution.
This pandemic has been difficult for everyone, but it has been especially difficult for our seniors. Although restrictions
have been loosening, 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 even a few members in the community. We hope to see
everyone back in the building next year.

As you know, the JCCC is a multi-use facility with members and guests sharing many of the same spaces. This makes
our reopening significantly more complicated than for single use spaces like gyms or stand-alone dojos. We approach thischallenge with a balance of enthusiasm and caution.
Our Board of Directors and its Reopening Task Force have created a Health Protection Plan demanding the highest
level of diligence in maintaining the health and safety of our members, community and friends. The core message is here:
The JCCC is committed to the safety and well-being of our staff, membership, visitors and community. We have been
coming together at the JCCC to learn, share, and grow for over 50 years and have always ensured everyone who attends
the JCCC feels safe, respected and welcomed. While we have continued to offer programming virtually, the JCCC has been
physically closed through the duration of the pandemic as we wanted to minimize risk to all of our stakeholders. At thistime, we have decided to gradually reopen subject to developments in the pandemic. The reopening plan for the JCCC
will be based on our commitment to safety and well-being and we intend to do the utmost to provide the highest level ofsafety for members, staff and the public. Our reopening plan is based on current scientific and medical guidance andbest practices, of course, but we also intend to err on the side of caution to minimize risks. We believe this approach isessential for us to continue to fulfill our mission of Friendship through Culture.
In keeping with the prioritization of health, we are undergoing a period of testing with a staged soft reopening of ourmartial arts program. This period is coordinately intricately in consultation with the Board, the staff as well as the instructors. The purpose of this is to test our ability to safely manage the reopening of the dojo while COVID continues topresent a risk. The clubs who are scheduled to take part in the first stage of this soft reopening starting November 6 are
Kyudo, Jodo, Iaido and Naginata. These clubs were prioritized based on consideration for safety, especially the safety of
our more vulnerable. Factors include: level of physical contact, use of personal equipment, location of activity (wood roomonly); and participation of adults vs children. The remainder clubs - Aikido, Judo, Karate and Kendo - will follow promptly.
We will update the membership once dates have been determined for the remainder of our clubs.
For those of you participating in clubs not scheduled to reopen immediately, please accept our apologies as well as our
sincere appreciation for your great patience.
We cannot wait to fully reopen the JCCC for your enjoyment and the pursuit of “Friendship through Culture”.
We will be in touch again soon. Stay well.
日系文化会館は、会員、非会員を問わず、
様々な目的や用途で共有、使用される施設です。
スポーツクラブや町の道場のように、限定的な用途で使用される施設ではないため、再開に向けて、様々な面を考慮し、また複雑な手順を得る必要があります。
会員、コミュニティ、来館者の皆様の健康と安全を維持するべく、理事会とReopening Task Forceは健康保護計画を作成いたしました。本計画の概要を下記の通りお知らせいたします。

日系文化会館(JCCC)はスタッフ、会員、来館者、コミュニティの全ての皆様の安全と健康への配慮に全力を注ぎます。50年以上に渡り、JCCCはコミュ
ニティと共に学び、ヘリテージや文化の共有をしながら成長をしてきました。
そして、常に敬意と歓迎の心で来館者をお迎えし、安全な環境をご提供することに尽力してまいりました。
オンラインでのプログラムを続けてご提供する一方、ご利用される皆様および提供側の危険を最小限に抑えるべく、会館はパンデミックを通してこれまで館内へのドアは閉ざしてまいりました。
この度、パンデミックの状況を鑑みながら段階的に再開する運びとなりました。JCCC再開
計画は安全と健康への最大の配慮が根底となり、会員、スタッフ、そして社会全体への最高水準の安全をお届けする所存です。
再開計画は現時点での科学と医学に基づく指示と実践を基盤に、危険を回避するために慎重すぎるくらいを目指しています。
この取り組み方は日系文化会館が掲げてきた「文化がわかる。心がかよう。」というミッションを全うするために不可欠であると考えます。
健康第一を念頭に、
まずはテスト期間として、
武道クラスの段階的再開、
理事会、
スタッフ、
インストラクターと相談をしながら進めてまいります。
このテスト期間の目的は、新型コロナのリスクが現存する中で、道場を安全に管理及び運営できるか試すことにあります。
まず第一段階として、１１月６日から弓
道、
杖道、
居合道、
なぎなたクラスを開始いたします。
クラス再開順につきましては、現時点での新型ウィルスに対する危険度に配慮がおかれています。
その要因は、練習中の生徒同士の接触、道具の使用、
道場（床道場のみ）、参加者の年齢（成人・子供）などです。
その他のクラス、
合気道、
柔道、
空手、
剣道も
少し遅れて開始する予定です。会員の皆様には、開始日が決まり次第、ご連絡いたします。
まだ日程が決まっていないクラスの皆様にはお詫びとともに、長期間にわたるご忍耐に感謝を申し上げます。
会館がフルオープンして、我々のスローガンである「文化がわかる。
心がかよう」を通して、また皆様にお楽しみいただける日が一日でも早く来ることを、会館は待ち望んでおります。

This month, we are pleased to report Sedai’s work progress since April 2021. With the support of the community andfunding from provincial and federal sources, our summer contractors worked on multiple Sedai interviews. Despite working
remotely for the most part, by transcribing interviews they were able to learn about the history of the Japanese Canadianthrough first-hand account.
“Both Sedai interviews and Maryka Omatsu Collections really shed light on the experience of Japanese Canadians andtheir tremendous commitment to protecting their community.” (Alexia Kim, JCCC 2021 Collection Assistant)

Over the summer, I had the opportunity to dive backinto cataloguing personal collections and family histories. In
particular, I was able to further expand the family histories
of Terry and Koto Adachi, whose collection I first began
cataloguing in 2019. In addition to my own research, I had
valuable assistance from Kathi Adachi in revising these records. I encourage anyone who is interested in getting a
glimpse into the lives of Terry and Koto Adachi, a history thatspans from the early 1900s to the early 2010s, to check out
their collection, which can be found under accession number‘2018-20’ in the JCCC’s online catalogue.

Defined by Bone –A Choreographic Process Showing at the JCCC
A story of adaptation and resilience, Defined by Bone choreographed by Mayumi
Lashbrook presents an intimate look into a sliver of Canadian history by unfolding an intergenerational narrative, and intersecting dance and theatre. This work brings together
the muscles of Canadian history, the blood of Japanese ancestry, and the bones of a story
written in prejudice. Defined by Bone is a reclaiming of history, contextualizing what is
carried forward in our communal mosaic.
Mayumi carefully and courageously crafts the experience of forced displacement
through dance theatre, projection and sound design. Mayumi is joined by collaborators
Mikaela Demers, Sid Ryan Eilers, Denise Solleza, Bradley Ng, Sammy Chien, Jasmine Liaw,
Robin Lacambra, and Yobi.

JCCCでボランティアをしてどのくらいになりますか？
30年です。

どのようにしてJCCCを知りましたか？

旧日系文化会館で催されていた“東京キャラバン”を見に行ったことが始まりです。

凝縮された日本の祭りそのもので、会館中が笑顔と活気に満ち溢れていました。
この中に私もいるべきだと直感しました(笑)
それまで存在すら知らなかったので、メンバーになったことで一気に世界が広がった感じがしました。

どのようなボランティアをしてきましたか？

日本舞踊“さくら会”に入ったのをきっかけに、踊り子達の着物の準備、使用後の風通しやアイロン掛け、
そして次回まで家で保管。
子ども達の揃いの着物を25枚ほど作ったりもしました。
今でも大切に使われているのを見ると嬉しくなります。
照り焼きチキンや巻き寿司を大量に作って販売したり、暮れになると粉まみれになりながら、餅作りもしました。

How long have you been a volunteer here at the
JCCC?
30 years

 ow did you get involved with volunteering at
H
the JCCC?

Visiting “Tokyo Caravan” at the JCCC on Wynford Drive was
the beginning of my volunteering journey. The festival was
a compressed and mixed version of traditional festivals heldin Japan and was filled with smiles and happiness. My gut
feeling told me that I should be a part of this community.
LOL. Since I did not know about the JCCC before then, I
felt like I was discovering a whole new world when I joined.

また、
お正月、
春祭り、
映画祭、
桜ガラの時には、振り袖の着付けもやらせて頂いてます。
日本舞踊を皮切りにクロッギング、ウクレレ、フラダンスなどボランティアをしながらステージにも立ち、楽しい思い出が沢山増え、人生が深いものになっています。

JCCCでのボランティア経験を一言で表すと？
喜び

What type of volunteer work have you done?

Since I joined the Japanese dance club, Sakura Kai, I got
more opportunities as a volunteer. I prepared Kimono fordancers and took care of them until the next showtime. I
made 25 kimonos for child dancers. Whenever I see they
are still wearing those Kimono, it makes me very happy.
I made and sold a lot of teriyaki chicken and Maki Sushi,
as well as helping with Mochi making and being covered
with flour!
I have been Kitsuke-shi putting on Kimono on entertainers
and greeters at Oshogatsu Kai, Haru Matsuri, TJFF, andSakura Gala. I have also joined Clogging, Ukulele, and HulaClub and have volunteered as a performer. These experiences and fun memories have enriched my life.

Describe in ONE word your volunteer experienceat JCCC.
Joy

健やかな老後をめざして その45 - ① 認知症に関する様々な相談や質問
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 ）認知症に関するいくつかの相談や質問をいただきました。本号では「父親がアルツハイマー型認知症なので、自身の発症がやっぱり気にかかります」という相談について、皆さまと共に考えてみたいと思います。

様々な病気と遺伝子に関する解析研究は過去に比較できないほどのス
ピードで進んでおり、様々な関連性が明らかになっています。認知症に関しても、遺伝性の家族性アルツハイマー型認知症が稀に存在します。
また、
い
くつかの遺伝子の関与も明らかになっており、今後の研究によって遺伝子関与の詳細が更に解明されていくことでしょう。
しかし、「アルツハイマー型認知症は、例え遺伝子傾向があったとしても、様々な要因が複合的に影響しあった結果として発症する多因子病である」
ことに間違いはありません。
アルツハイマー型認知症とは「脳にたんぱく質の老廃物がたまり、神経細胞が死滅して脳が委縮することによって、もの忘れなどが生じて日常生活に支障をきたす状態」のことです。大きな要因は加齢、次に注目されているのは
生活習慣病（糖尿病、高血圧や脂質異常症など）です。一般的に、加齢に伴って細胞の酸化（サビ化）が進み、遺伝子の変異も起こりやすくなります。加齢が、認知症のみならず諸々の病気の大きな要因とされる理由です！それに加え、食生活、運動、睡眠、育った環境、健康観などの後天的要因が長い期間をかけて影響を与えていきます。後天的要因という視点からみると、親子に共通点は多いかもしれません。

私の場合、家系的には心臓・脳血管系（高血圧、狭心症、脳出血など）の治療経験を持つ人が多く、母が60歳の頃に高血圧を指摘され、父が70代後半に脳出血で入院といった事が次々と起こり、現実的に自身の健康課題について注意するようになりました。食生活や運動に気をつけ始めたのです。
とは言っても、
まるで企業戦士のような働き方だったので、
とうとう40代半ばに血圧が不安定になり、心臓の痛みを生じて緊急検査になりました。過労死の一歩手前でした！ストレス状態に陥った時、もし器質や機能の低下があったなら、私はその波に押し流されていたかもしれません。
お蔭様で、その当時の検査結果に問題はありませんでした。家系・体質的な健康課題に注
目し、努力していたことがその事態を切り抜けた要因の１つ、と感じています。
しかし、年齢を重ねるにつれ誰しも病気から逃れることはできません。
ですから、51歳でカナダへ移住して以降はシニア世代への準備を心がけるよ
うになりました。70歳の現在、総コレステロール、悪玉や善玉コレステロー
ル、中性脂肪は40代の頃よりも改善。血圧も然りです。
つまり、生活習慣に関わる問題は関心を注いで努力すれば改善できることを示すエビデンスです！

アルツハイマー型認知症では、発症の20年ほど前からたんぱく質の一種である「アミロイドβ」が脳の神経細胞の外側に蓄積していきます。
そうすると「リン酸化タウ」
が神経細胞の中に蓄積するようになり、次第に神経細胞が死滅し、脳が委縮して発症すると考えられています。
となると、
それらの老
廃物をためないようにすることが重要です。若い頃より生活習慣の改善に心がければ発症予防の可能性があるのです。

最近の研究では、糖尿病がその発症に深く関わっていることがわかってきました。血糖値を下げる「インスリン」は、その働きを終えると「インスリン分解酵素」
によって分解されます。
この酵素はアミロイドβを分解する役割も担っています。
もし血糖コントロールがよくないと、血糖を下げるためにインスリン分泌量が増え、酵素はその分解にかかりきりになり、
アミロイドβまで手が回らなくなるのです。血糖コントロールは、認知症の発症予防に重要です。
蓄積した老廃物を排出する働きもわかってきました。
アミロイドβは主に睡眠中に脳から排出されます。現時点では「7時間ほどの睡眠がベスト」との報告もあります。適切な睡眠の時間や質に関しては更なる研究を期待します

写真：我が家の自然林

が、ともかくも睡眠は大事です。
アミロイドβの蓄積期間を考えると、30代以降の皆さま、将来の発症を抑える対策の1つとして関心を注ぎましょう～。

私自身が日頃から大事にしているのは五感（触覚、視覚、聴覚、嗅覚と味覚）です。特別の医療機器がなくても、日々の観察である程度の異常を知ることができるからです。
「意識して暮らす」
ことがとても大事なのです。
味覚を研ぎ澄まそうと思うと、
自然と味付けは薄くなります。
また、口腔内ケアにも関心が向き、健康な歯、歯茎や舌を保つようになります。小さな物音に耳を傾けられるように、歌とピアノレッスン以外は音の大きさに注意しています。食事やお酒はまず香りを楽しみます。嗅覚に左右差がない
かも時々チェック。視覚と聴覚も同様にやっています。皮膚は20年以上も基本的に手洗いです。

老年学の視点より、自身の五感がエイジングによってどのように変化す
るのかに興味をもって始めたのが発端ですが、今ではもう習慣になっていますね（笑）。
もちろん、検診も受けていますよ。還暦記念に耳鼻咽喉科を受診。医師は「不調があるわけでもないのに健康診断に訪れる人は稀！」と。
「耳は50代から衰えていくので、多くの人が一度検査をして早目にケアを開始すれば、有毛細胞（いったん衰えると再生しない！）
の機能低下
を防げる」
とも伝えてくれました。
最近の研究は、脳の老化を防ぐために五感に注目することの重要性を指摘しています。
また、認知症と嗅覚、聴覚、味覚との関連も明らかになりつつあります。改めて、脳と五感の繋がりを実感しています。

以上述べたように、例え認知症になりやすい要因を有していたとしても、その発症に至るプロセスには私（あなた）自身の食生活、睡眠、運動、脳への刺激などが大きく影響しているのです！先へ先へと延ばす方策があるのですから、認知症になることを怖れるのではなく、それらを実践していきましょう。

英子の認知症対策は、①バランス良い食生活と腹八分目、②適切な睡眠、③身体と脳の同時トレーニング（一段昇降と計算、
メチャクチャダンス
としりとり）、④新しい分野に挑戦（短歌や作詞・作曲）、⑤終活/終括（遺言書、成年後見人指定、重要事項の整理、物品の断捨離）です。楽しんでやれる方法を取り入れることこそ継続のコツです！
