Sedai Corner

Warmer weather has finally arrived, and Sedai brings with it some
hot off the press updates.
First, as we continue to highlight the contributions of Sedai
interviewees, our spotlight subject for this issue is Tom Matsui.
Tom contributed his time in adding his voice to our video archives,
as well as both the 2010 and 2013 conferences. Most recently,
Tom has been busy at work, archiving his wonderful collectionof photos and documents. As well, Tom has lent his story andpersonal memorabilia to research efforts with the Landscapesof Injustice project, a Social Sciences and Research Council of
Canada (SSHRC) grant recipient and friend of Sedai. Tom is able
to recount the incredible loss – financial, physical, and social – thathe, his family, and his community felt in being forcibly removed
from the west coast. Visit Sedai.ca to listen to Tom in our online
video archives!
Second, are you interested in assisting Sedai, the Moriyama
Nikkei Heritage Centre (MNHC), and the JCCC in promoting
awareness of Japanese Canadian history? The JCCC is currently
looking for volunteer docents to assist the MNHC in providing
information and guidance to visitors during large events (e.g.
Toronto Japanese Film Festival, Natsu Matsuri). If you have aninterest in community history, are comfortable with basic usesof digital technology to access our video footage, and have theenthusiasm to engage the public, we invite you to contact Elizabeth
Fujita-Kwan, Sedai Project Coordinator, at the details below.
Training will be provided, and no prior museum experience isrequired!
Lastly, stay tuned to the JCCC newsletter, as Sedai makes a trip
out west! The Landscapes of Injustice project has invited the Sedai
Project to take part in the sharing of oral histories and community
records towards greater educational understanding of the historyof Japanese Canadian dispossession and forced relocation. And
as always, if you or someone you know has an interesting story
to tell for the mosaic history of Japanese Canadians, pleasecontact Elizabeth Fujita-Kwan, at elizabeth.fujita@jccc.on.ca or
416-441-2345 ext. 303.

Heritage Corner

Here are the latest updates from Heritage, including ways
for you too to be involved with the JCCC and Heritage
programming!
The Archive and Collections Committee is proud
to announce that the JCCC’s display for the Ontario
Legislative Assembly’s Community Projects initiative has
been mounted. Our contribution is a display of photos anditems, providing visitors with an abbreviated timeline of thehistory of Japanese Canadians. If you would like to see thedisplay, please visit the Ontario Legislative Assembly for a(free) guided tour, and mention your interest in viewing theCommunity Projects displays.
You will find the display cases at the entrance to theMoriyama Nikkei Heritage Centre have been updated toreflect upcoming events, including a selection of Japaneseand Japanese Canadian literature, and a selection ofartefacts and items to reflect a film that will be screening
during the upcoming Toronto Japanese Film Festival. Comecheck it out, and guess which film!
The Arts Committee has planned several new exhibits for the JCCC Gallery during the coming months. For May, the Gallery will display aselection of works by Canadian artist York Wilson, in support of the 2015 Sakura Gala theme of literature. This work is York Wilson’s reflection
on a series of poems by Japanese poet Sakutaro Hagiwara. June will see the appearance of an exhibit by JCCC Artist in Residence, Nao
Uda. Originally from Yokohama, Japan, Nao graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her upcoming exhibit titled, “316 Powell
Street” is about her grandfather, who was born in Vancouver in 1924. This exhibit is a fictional memory of her grandfather, who passed before
she could hear the story of his life. Nao’s work was inspired by and researched through the oral histories and archives at the JCCC, andinformation collected during several trips to her grandfather’s birthplace on Powell Street.

Big Round of Applause for
JCCC Instructors & Club Leaders
Over 4 sessions through March and April, as many as 120
instructors of all JCCC Programs - including martial arts and culturalclasses, workshops and clubs - took time to undergo training inabuse awareness and prevention. Our instructors always have theinterest of our membership at heart, and the JCCC applauds themfor their commitment to the safety and quality of their programs.
Following the training, in the upcoming months, members might
notice that the JCCC will be bringing in small changes to theirclasses or programs. These are all done in an effort to provide
members with the safest possible environment. To our instructors,
our hats off to you all for your commitment and hard work.

The JCCC was pleased to be present as Mrs. Shizuko Kadoguchi
was once again honoured for the tireless volunteer service that
she has provided at the JCCC. On Tuesday March 31, Premierand MPP for Don Valley West, Kathleen Wynne, held a small
reception at the Finnish Canadian Seniors Centre. She presented
32 individuals, of all ages and backgrounds, with a Community
Volunteer Service Award. These awards recognize the many hoursof volunteer service that these individuals have committed to create
a better community in the Don Valley West Riding. Congratulations
to Mrs. Kadoguchi and all the other recipients!

Event Orientation Session for
Volunteers
The JCCC Annual Bazaar calls for over 450 volunteers to be
involved. To ensure that the day runs smoothly, and that theexperience continues to be pleasant for all our volunteers, the
JCCC held an orientation session for the first time for all our key
bazaar volunteers. The meeting spoke primarily to volunteers’
health and safety, food handling, team building strategies, andmanaging everyone’s respective areas on the day. We were gladto hear many of your suggestions and questions, and hope thatthrough opportunities like this, the JCCC will continue to enricheveryone’s volunteer experience.
With the JCCC always expanding its programming and events,
we have also seen a increase in the number of new volunteers.
Now is the perfect time to make sure we have a strong foundation
for taking care of our volunteers. It is extremely important that our
traditions continue for many generations to come. So those of us
who have enjoyed being an active part of our events and festivals
have to play an active role in passing on our skills and knowledge
to the newcomers.
In order to provide an environment where all volunteers enjoy
themselves, we will continue to have orientations like this prior to
every JCCC event in the future.

中村勘三郎

2012年12月に亡くなった歌舞伎役者、
中村勘三郎の生前の10年間密着、舞台での姿のみならず、舞台裏や闘病の様子までを追ったドキュメンタリー。歌舞伎の伝統を守りながらも、さまざまな表現にチャレンジしてきたエネルギッシュ
な生きざまを、勘三郎自身の言葉をひもときながら映し出す。型を追 求しつつ型破りなことを追い求め、中村勘九郎
や中村七之助、孫や後輩たち後世にも目を配りながら、止まることなく走り続
けた勘三郎の人生に圧倒される。

中村山椒落語会
中村山椒さんの落語会（日、英）で、会場は笑いに囲まれました。

写真提供Haruko Ishihara「神去なあなあ日常」
著、三浦しをん『舟を編む』
で辞書作りにたずさわる人たちを丹念に描いた著者のこれは「林業」を中心に据えた小説だ。
舞台となる神去（かむさり）村は三重県中西部山の奥の奥、杉とヒノキにかこまれた所。人口は100人ほど、そのほとんどが60歳以上という過疎と高齢化を絵にかいたような村だ。
主人公、平野勇気18歳
はひょんなことからこの村の林業の現場に研修生として
ほうりこまれる。高校を出たらフリーターでもしようと考えていた横浜生まれの勇気
にとってまるで異次元の神去村での生活。彼はここでの一年間を書いてみることにする。
四季それぞれの森での作業と美しい自然が勇気の目を通して軽快に語られていく。
最初はこの村から逃げ出すことばかり考えていた勇気が個性的な脇役たちと一緒にこの村に少しずつとけ込んでゆく。
斜陽と言われて久しい日本の林業のきびしい現場を支えている
人たち、そして木々を育む森への深い感謝と畏敬をもって生きる人たちをあらためて知ることのできる一編だ。
津島直恵「神去なあなあ日常」を原作にした映画「ウッジョブ – 神去なあなあ日常」は２０１５年トロント日本映画祭の上映作品です。本も映画もお楽しみください。

去る４月1日(水)、今年初めてバザーのためのボランティアオリ
エンテーションを行いました。
このオリエンテーションは各エリアのリーダーやクラブ、
グループリーダーに参加して頂きました。主な内容
は、ボランティアの皆様の安全と衛生管理、食品取扱い、新ボランテ
ィアを迎え入れるためのチームビルディング、当日の注意事項等でした。出席して下さった皆様からは、沢山の実のある提案や意見も寄せられ、とても前向きで充実したミーティングとなりました。お忙しい中
ご出席頂きどうもありがとうございました。
この画期的なミーティングは今後JCCCのイベントを継続していくための基盤となっていくものです。
ここ数年間で、新しいイベントも増え、ボランティア参加人数は急上昇しています。今こそJCCCを支えるボランティア体制を整え、その土台を固める時であると思います。
長期ボランティアの皆様から少しずつ様々な事柄を習い、長年続いてきているバザーやお祭り、伝統を守りながら若い世代へ繋げていくことができれば、
こんなに素晴らしい事はありません。
