JCCC Upcoming Events
An Evening with Kodo’s Chieko Kojima & Nagata Shachu
Chieko Kojima, founding member and principal dancer of Kodo, joins
Nagata Shachu taiko group in an evening of dance, drums and song.
The JCCC and Nagata Shachu are proud to present Japanese
dance and taiko artist Chieko Kojima. A founding member of the world
renowned Kodo drummers of Sado Island, Kojima also has an active
solo career that is perhaps best characterized by her ongoing project,“Yukiai”. Also she seeks out new encounters and collaborations withartists and taiko groups within Japan andthroughout the world. Kojima is known
for her original dancing style during
Kodo’s taiko-based performances,which is best exemplified by her vivid
portrayal of the goddess Ameno-uzume
in the first season of “Amaterasu” in 2006, directed by Tamasaburo Bando. She became a Kodo
Distinguished Member in 2012, and was the director of the annual concert series “Kodo Special
Performances on Sado Island” for four years, starting from its inaugural season that same year.
She continues to ambitiously broaden her expressive outlets, as demonstrated by her recent
productions based on the “Tales of Dojoji,” which then became the inspiration for her first photobook, ” Kasane no Kiyohime Monogatari: The Myriad Layers of Kiyohime,” a unique work createdwith photographer Maiko Miyagawa and released in 2015.
For this performance, Kojima will share the stage in collaboration with Canada's premiere
taiko group Nagata Shachu, for an unforgettable evening of dance, drums and song.

The Wheels are Turning,
But There’s Still A Long Way To Go!

Help Us Build The Chris Kano Taiko Studio And Bring Taiko Back To The JCCC
The JCCC is excited to have kicked off the Chris Kano Taiko Studio FundraisingCampaign, but we are still a long way away from our target of $250,000, which isneeded to renovate an existing storage space into a sound-proof studio that will
return the thunderous sounds of taiko to the JCCC.
The resonating beat of taiko undoubtedly evokes excitement and energy inevery one of us. It is an ancient, traditional aspect of Japanese culture that has
grown to have a contemporary global appeal.
With your help and generosity, we can make taiko more accessible to ourcommunity, especially our children and youth. The JCCC chose to name this studioafter the late Chris Kano, because of Chris’ ability to engage community through hisenergy, and of his contribution as a driving force for the Yakudo taiko group.
To donate, see attached flyer, or visit www.jccc.on.ca/en/donate or talk to ourreceptionists, either in person at the JCCC or by phone at 416-441-2345.

hard to achieve theright “look” for the celebration. By the late afternoon almost
everything was ready for the next night.
As people arrived, they entered the hall to sounds of music
by DJ Ralph Yuen. With almost 200 guests, the room was busy
with activity and greetings. But everyone quickly settled inorder to enjoy the Prime Rib buffet dinner catered by Calvert’s.
Immediately following dinner the attendees took to the dance
floor. There were opportunities for spot and novelty dances forprizes throughout the night.
This year’s attendees were again treated to not one, but
two special performances. We once again saw the10 dancers
that are known for their choreographed group ballroom dance
performances. And Winson Tam and Anastasia Novikova also
returned to perform. The JCCC was very happy to have thereturn of the national and world champion dancers to our event.
At midnight, the hundreds of balloons cascaded down on
the revellers to greet the New Year. Champagne and sushi wasserved. Overall, it was a fantastic celebration!
The whole event would not have been possible without the
support and sponsorship of Hong Kong Imports, Kobo Jewellery
Inc., Jo-Cy and Edward Lee, Midori Fujiwara, Perry and Fenella
Chai and our tireless committee members, Sid and Marie Ikeda.

Kobayashi Hall wasagain the place to be
for the annual Shin-nen
Kai New Year’s Day
Banquet. Each year
sees a wide variety
of attendees from acouple of friends tolarge family groupings.
Together,
everyonehelped to celebrate the start of the New Year with an incredible
evening of fine dining and entertainment.
Chef Kunio Ishii of Toriichi Catering outdid himself again
in preparing the star of the show. The buffet was an incredible
array of traditional o-sechi ryori (new year’s dishes) including
nishime, ozoni, sashimi, sushi and so much more. Roundingout the evening, we were treated to the mystery of magic by Jeff
the Magician.
In addition to door
prizes, there is a Sharethe Wealth draw that saw
a few lucky winners sharein over $1,000 of prize
money. What a wonderful
way to start the year off!

Kathy, Rick and Sandy, as well as the other volunteers and staff
who worked together to make this event happen. A very special

5Not just clean, but SQUEAKY Clean!
Year End Dojo Cleaning
With 8 martial arts
groups, and over 3000
hours of class times in
2017, the two martial
arts dojo at the JCCC
were
undoubtedly
well used. Over theholidays, on Dec 28
and 29, while manyof us are snuggled up
at home, 20 volunteers came to the JCCC and got on theirhands and knees to clean, scrub, vacuum, mop and dust. Theyreached up high to vacuum above the ducts, and got rightdown under the tatatmi mats to make sure the two dojos were
squeaky clean for the new year.
The martial arts program is an intergral part of the JCCC,
and it’s great to see volunteers working together to make sure

our facility remains in tip top shape to accommodate our 500+
martial arts participants.
Huge thank you to Camber Muir sensei of the JCCC Aikikai who
led our volunteers through two days of cleaning. And again, a
big a shout out to all the wonderful volunteers who made time
to come out and sweat.

Chirashi Sushi

An array of art works from 1972 to 2016 by BRYCE KANBARA
selected by Akira Yoshikawa“Chirashi sushi is one of myfavourites on the menu andthe words suggest a scatteringof works as well as something
delicious.” Bryce Kanbara.
If there is one person who
is the focal point of visual art
in the Japanese Canadian
community, it is Bryce Kanbara.
Over a 40 year career,Kanbara has been an artist, advocate, gallery owner, juror,
grants officer and curator, but he has never had a show of his
own at the JCCC Gallery. Thanks to the energy and inspirationof Akira Yoshikawa, who is the curatorial lead-hand of theexhibit, the reserved and thoughful Kanbara will be coaxed into
the spotlight for Chirashi Sushi.
“Over the years, Bryce has been an active and prolific artist
and there is so much to exhibit,” says Curator Yoshikawa. “Heworks in a variety of mediums and is always experimenting with
sculpture, mono prints, collage and even plywood and drywall
constructs. You get the feeling he is always on the move. He
never stays static.”
Yoshikawa identifies eight different stages in Kanbara’s art
career that will be showcased in the exhibit. In each, he willshow the European influences in Kanbara’s artwork as well as
his Japanese values.
Born and raised in Hamilton Ontario, Kanbara entered
university with no intention of going into art.
“In first year, I took natural science courses because of
expectations from friends and family,” says Kanbara. “Art was
not considered a profession to pursue. But then in first year

6

I flunked out of sciences and I think that was trying to tell mesomething.”
Kanbara began to pursue art in his elective courses andeventually rented a studio space after graduating from university.
It’s a very good thing for all of us that Kanbara switched to art.
He continued to create art, stay involved with the Japanese
Canadian community and be an ongoing promoter of Japanese
Canadian artists.
“His work is very eclectic,” says Yoshikawa. “When I lookat it, I can feel his spirit and enthusiasm for life. It will be an
exciting show.”
Chirashi sushi - an array of works from 1972 to 2016 by
BRYCE KANBARA, selected by Akira Yoshikawa will be in the
JCCC Gallery from Monday January 22 - Thursday March 31,
2018.
Opening Reception: Sunday February 4, 2018 at 2pm
An artist talk and walkabout will take place on a date to be
determined.
All are welcome. Admission is free.

Found in the Archives
It has been a very busy month in the office of the Heritage
Department! Once the volunteers began their holiday break,
we set to work rearranging and reorganizing our physicalspace. Within a day we had completely cleared out our officeand thoroughly cleaned the entire space. Over the past month,
we have reset our furniture and reworked our filing system toallow for greater efficiency!
During the process, we were excited to come acrossphotos, artifacts and memories that we had not unearthed in awhile. We are also very excited about the clear space that we
now find ourselves working in. If you have a chance, feel free
to drop in and say hi!!

Thank You for Supporting Our
2017 Holiday Drive!
Submitted by Japanese Social Services

May we express our sincere gratitude for your generous
support of our 2017 Holiday Drive that took place at theend of last year. We would now like to inform you thatthe Drive has been successfully completed and that thenumerous gifts and the heartfelt expressions of goodwill
from community members have been delivered to 33
families, consisting of 79 individuals.
This was our 18th Holiday Drive and we received
more donations than ever before. We believe this is theresult of our Holiday Drive becoming better known inthe community and also the activities of JSS in general,
becoming increasingly recognized by the community.
We would also like to emphasize that the 2017 Holiday
Drive would not have been so successful had it not been
for community members who kindly allowed us to place the
donation boxes on their premises and the advertisementon their publishing, as well as who generously donatedthe gifts to the program. Moreover, JSS could not haveaccomplished this enormous task without the diligent effort
of numerous volunteers who were involved in the planning,
publicity, sorting, packing and delivering of the gift boxes
to each family. The time and effort put into the program by
the volunteer holiday drive team members are huge. We
cannot thank them enough for their warm heart and deep
dedication.
Once again we would like to express our gratitude to
all the individuals and volunteers who through donations
and through hard work contributed towards a successful
Holiday Drive. Your ongoing and loyal support of this JSS
activity is very much appreciated.
We would also like to thank you for your support of
JSS during 2017. With your kind support we shall be able
to continue our programs and activities in 2018 as well.

for items for our ever popular Silent Auction.

新移住者50周年記念パーティー、盛大に開催
戦後日本からの移住が1967年に始まり今年で50年を迎えたことを祝って「新移住者50周年記念パーティー」が、10月12日（木）夜、日系文化会館で開催されました。主催は新日系コミッティー（NJCC、旧トロント
新移住者協会）
・日系文化会館（JCCC）。
この日、およそ390人が出席し、大勢のボランテ
ィアの皆さんの協力のもと、盛大なイベントになりました。
今回のパーティーのテーマは「縁（えにし）」。移住者たちのカナダでの運命的なつながりを永続できるようにという願いが込められています。
プログラムはNJCCの武元昭儒（たけもと・あきひと）代表の挨
拶で始まり、２日前にトロントに着任した伊藤恭子（いとう•たかこ）
総領事をはじめ、地元選出の連邦議員ヤスミン・ラタンシ氏、加藤欽也元新移住者協会会長、ゲーリー・カワグチJCCC理事長、来賓のブラジル移住者松本富子さんが、それぞれ興味深いスピーチを行いました。
伊藤新総領事はスピーチで「このパーティーに出席するために予定を繰り上げてトロントに来ました。以前、オタワの大学に留学、日本大使館に勤務していましたので、カナダとは深い縁があります。今日、日本とカナダが良好な関係でいられるのも戦前の一世、二世など日系人の皆様、そして戦後の新移住者たちの皆様の勤勉さと努力のおかげです。今後ますますのご活躍を祈っています。」と述べました。
鏡開きで気勢をあげた後、皆さんお待ちかねのディナータイ
ム。お寿司をはじめ、魚、肉、野菜、そば、パスタなどバラエティーに富んだメニューで、参加者たちの間では「パーティー券＄20にしてはずいぶん豪華だね」という声があちらこちらから聞こえました。
会場のスクリーンには、30年以上も昔の「トロント紅白歌合戦」の舞台風景が長時間、ビデオ上映され、出席者の中には「あれっ！
私の歌っている姿が・・・」と、興奮ぎみにじっと見入る人もいました。
50数年前にカナダに渡り、その後、次々とやって来る新移住者
たちのお世話をしたという永井睦（ながい・むつみ）さんの回顧録
朗読やエンターテイメントを楽しみました。最後はラッフルチケットの抽選会。日系の商店／レストラン、企業などから提供された商品や食事券など盛りだくさんの賞品がありました。

なお、今回のパーティーに合わせて「トロント新移住者50年の歩み」と題する記念誌が発刊されました。
記念誌の企画は、NJCCの新移住者50周年記念誌実行委員会のメンバーを中心に作年６月から準備が開始され、１年以上かけて完成しました。各方面からの祝辞、多数の移住者からの寄稿、日
本語学校、移住年代別による座談会など、まさにトロントにおける新移住者の歴史や生活が多岐にわたって紹介された記念誌と言えるでしょう。

Close-Knit“One might find the tremendous emotional swells of Close-Knit so moving at times that one can barely hear thesound of fresh ground being broken in Japanese cinema” – The Film Stage
Naoko Ogigami’s deeply humane drama won major awards at film festivals in Berlin, Udine and New York. 11-year-old
Tomo (Rinka Kakihara) is abandoned by her mother. She is taken in by her uncle Makio (Kenta Kiritani) who lives withhis beautiful girlfriend Rinko (Toma Ikuta), a transgendered woman who works as a caregiver at a home for the elderly.
Together the three face prejudice as they start their new life as a family. A beautiful, brave and extraordinary film.
