Meet Director Yukinori Makabe

A MONK. Director Yukinori Makabe will be in attendance tointroduce his film and to take audience questions.
Susumu is typical a 24 year-old, working in a small town
bookshop. When his grandfather passes away, he inherits the
mantle of Abbot of the Buddhist temple Eifuku-ji. His new job
brings daunting challenges: earning the trust and respect of thetemple’s board of elders, making important decisions, and evenselecting appropriate new robes. Susumu soon finds himself
struggling to live up to the community’s expectations of their new spiritual leader aswell as having to deal with personal tragedy.
I AM A MONK is a gentle and honest coming-of-age story – leavened with nosmall amount of humour - about a young man who gradually finds meaning in a
profession that he had expected to abandon. Based on the actual chronicles of Missei
Shirakawa, priest at Eifuku-ji Temple.

Japanese Canadian Art Symposium

It was an art symposium, but it had the feel of a family reunion.

by John Ota
Over seventy artists, art lovers and talented people from a variety of
disciplines gathered at the JCCC on April 2 to discuss the past, present
and future of Japanese Canadian art. But it was more than that.
In an atmosphere of openness and honesty, people talked about
personal experiences, racism, artistic expression and finding a way backto their JC heritage. In such a safe environment, I felt like I was sitting
around a kitchen table, not a meeting room table.
Keynote speakers, Grace Eiko Thomson and Haruko Okano shookup the pot by presenting their rich life histories and activities within the JC
community in Vancouver. Self-described “radicals”, their key message
was for JC art to address personal expression but along the way to also
confront racial inequality and social justice issues.
My spouse Fran and I had the honour of having Grace and Haruko stay with us along with Vancouver filmmaker SusanneTabata. We had a wonderful time with them and met new friends who dropped by the house to visit the speakers. Conversations
were full of laughter, art, philosophy and went into the wee hours of the night. We have complete admiration for our Vancouver
friends who are active, committed and we learned a lot from them.
Discussion from the symposium breakout groups offered a plethora of project ideas for the future including updating the
JC art directory including artist website addresses, an annual arts festival including all the arts, greater promotion of JC artists
through social media and development of an artist collective across the community.
The paramount topic of discussion for the day was the meaning of being a “Canadian” or “Japanese” or a “Japanese
Canadian”. There were a variety of answers and as it turned out from the chats, there was no right answer. It was different foreverybody.
But the highlight for me was the passion and interest of younger artists to explore their Japanese Canadian roots. I
feel like it is almost a Japanese Canadian Renaissance. While there seemed to be a hesitancy with some participants
about identifying themselves asa Japanese Canadian, younger
people expressed that it is a uniqueculture that they want to know
more about and is something weshouldn’t back away from.
As artist Hitoko Okada
put forward with resolve during
discussions,“Our
Japanese
Canadian identity is something that
we should embrace. Otherwise,
what are we doing here?”"JUST A REMINDER!

The Art Gallery will be hosting Bayefsky/Inouye: Tattoo Images from May 19 to August 7. Opening
Reception is Thursday May 19, 2016 at 7pm. Stay tuned to the newsletter for more events and related
programming!"

Tashme Map Coming Soon!

The Moriyama Nikkei Heritage Centre is proud to announce the publication of the long awaited Tashme Map. The full colour
poster details the layout of the Tashme Internment Camp, located on 14 Mile Ranch near Hope, B.C. The map is based on aplaque mounted survey map sent to Arthur Arai from the HOPE GROUP after the installation of a plaque near Hope, B.C. The
names and house numbers for the map were gathered from the “Tashme Master List” completed by the Tashme Social Club, the“Tashme Master List database of Kobayashi” and information submitted through the Tashme Historical Project Questionnaires.
The map contains an alphabetical list of the original residents of the Tashme Internment Camp as well as the location of many of
the auxiliary buildings at the camp.
Through the Tashme Historical Project Questionnaires we were also able to identify families who relocated to Tashme from otherinternment camps after 1944. Although these families do not appear on this map, we are planning for ways to acknowledge
these families as well. Many of the families who came to Tashme after 1944 were planning to relocate to Japan, although someeventually decided to remain in Canada.
Also being made available is a pamphlet which details what life in Tashme was like, through personal anecdotes and photos. The
tireless work of Keo Shibatani, Harold Miwa, Jean Fujimoto, Arnold Arai, Hajime Sawada and Yosh Inouye and the Tashme teamat the Nikkei National Museum, as well as the JCCC’s Heritage team, has made the publication of these two important resources
possible. It is our hope that these resources will provide the opportunity for Canadians to learn more about Canada’s World War
II story, while families of Tashme internees will gain a better understanding of what life was like in the camp.
If you are still interested in completing the Tashme Historical Project Questionnaire, please contact us at heritage@jccc.on.ca, orby phone at 416-441-2345 ext 303.

Legacy News

Giving to the JCCC is Not Justfor the Wealthy

The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre ("JCCC") continues
to do an excellent job in providing the best in cultural andheritage programming in North America. The demandfor cultural activities and programming is increasing. The
challenge facing the JCCC is to ensure it has the funds
necessary to continue meeting the growing needs of ourcommunity while maintaining the highest quality of programs
and services, operations and maintenance of the facility.
There are many reasons why the wealthy donate to charity.
But you don’t have to be wealthy to give. It is more important
to know that wealthier donors give from appreciated assets.
That means that they will look at assets like stocks, mutual
funds, property or tangible items like art to give to charity.
They always hope, like all donors that their donation makesa difference in the lives of others through the organizations
they support. They also see that their donation will be coupledin most cases with the tax credits or tax deductions, which
reduce the tax owing on their asset(s) from which the donation
was made.
You can use techniques that are available to anyone who
thinks about giving to charity. The first step is to identify where
the funds should come from. The easy answer is the wallet,
where you can write a cheque, make a donation via credit
card or give cash. All of these are after-tax donations, whichmeans you have already paid tax on these funds. So when adonation comes from the wallet the donation will cost morethan if you had given an appreciated asset.
When a donation is made from an appreciated asset,
you should look at the tax owing and calculate how muchyou should give from the capital gain to reduce the tax andnot touch the principle which was used to grow the asset.
This is best accomplished with your tax advisor, financial
advisor or in some cases their lawyer.
Please note that the information contained in this article
is general in nature and is not a substitute for independent
legal or financial planning advice. It is the policy of the JCCC
and the JCCC Foundation to encourage donors to seek
independent professional advice before making a planned
gift.

TheThird Gender exhibition

By Dr. Asato Ikeda, Assistant Professor, Fordham University, and Bishop White Postdoctoral Fellow of Japanese Art, Royal
Ontario Museum
The ROM’s new exhibition, A Third Gender: Beautiful Youth in Japanese Prints not only
showcases approximately 80 objects from the museum’s collection of Japanese art, the largestof its kind in Canada, but is also the ROM’s first exhibition to explore gender issues. Across timeand culture, there have been many diverse gender and sexual practices, and this exhibition
will explore one example—that of Edo-period Japan (1601-1868). From an understanding ofgender as comprising not just biological sex but also age, sexual role, and appearance, theexhibition focuses on visual representations of wakashu, who were neither “adult men” nor“women” and were objects of desire for both - wakashu were a “third gender”. Literally meaning“young person”, a wakashu was an adolescent male with a distinct appearance, and was astage of life for all men. A wakashu had not yet taken on the social responsibilities of an adult
but was considered sexually mature by society. Some wakashu had sexual relationships withboth adult men and women.
Featuring wakashu, their web of social relationships, and kabuki theatre, all against thebackground of Edo-period society, the prints in the exhibition were created in the early 18th tomid-19th centuries by major ukiyo-e masters including Okumura Masanobu, Suzuki Harunobu,
and Kitagawa Utamaro. The show, which is the first in-house ukiyo-e exhibition at the ROM in
forty years, is accompanied by a catalogue co-authored by Joshua S. Mostow (Professor of Asian Studies, University of British
Columbia) and Asato Ikeda. The exhibition runs from May 7 to November 27 and is accompanied a series of programs.

本書は、日本近代史、特に昭和史に関する記録文学の第一人者、半藤一利氏による代表作の一つである。
敗戦に次ぐ敗戦でそのまま戦争継続か否か、その決断を迫られた昭和20年当時の指導者達、彼らの叡智と盲信の息詰まる
せめぎ合い、そして結論に達しないまま最終的な裁断を昭和天皇に委ねて漸く無条件降伏による戦争終結へと緊迫した事態

Sun. Mar 5 (during Haru Matsuri)若者達よ、大志を抱け ！！
1965年、私は21歳の時に日立製作所で技術者として勤務しておりました。
しかし、当時仕事にもあまり熱が入らず、夢も希望も無く、毎月月末になると兄貴が住んでいた鎌倉の極楽寺に出向いては夕食をたかり、毎日の仕事の不満をぶちまけていました。
ある時、兄貴の奥さんに「武ちゃんだったら日立での技術を活かしていけるわよ。何も日本だけが生きて行く場では無いと思うよ！若いんだから夢を持って、世界に飛び立ちなさいよ 。」と言われ、その夜、極楽寺から常磐線の亀有駅までの、わずか二時間の電車の中で、私は カナダへの移民を決意したのです。翌日には、東京の青山にあるカナダ大使館に飛びこんでいました。
カナダに移住してからは、毎日が希望にあふれて 素晴らしい日々の連続でした。そして何をするにも前向きに物事を考える事が出来るようになったのです。
時はあっという間に流れ、来月の 6月15日でトロントに移民して50年になります。
この50年間で、色々な事がありました。仕事にも何とか恵まれ、最高のかみさんにめぐり合い、最高の三人の娘と三人の孫、家族全員が健康で、私は本当に幸せ者だと思っております。そして何よりも、
この50年の間、何事にもポジテイブに物事を考えて生きてきた事、沢山の素晴らしい先輩にめぐり合えた事、そして沢山の友達を得た事に感謝しています。でも、そのような幸せを得るためには、まずは自分が素直な気持ち
で何事にも接する事が大切だと思います。
今のネット社会の中では、夢も持たず自分で物事を考えない若者が増えていると感じますが、もっと自分自身で チヤレンジ精神を持って生きて行ってほしいと思います。一つの考え方として、カナダへの移民などは最高の選択だと思います。若い時には、男女を問わず、度胸を持って「成せばなる成さねば成らぬ何事も」の精神を持ち、がむしゃらな気持ちで頑張れば、必ず何かを見出せると思います。もっともっと日本の若者達が大志を抱き、世界に羽ばたいて欲しいと願っています。

動脈硬化の対策 ②：内臓脂肪のこわ～い影響！
動脈硬化の直接的原因は脂質（コレステロール＆中性脂肪トリセリグリド）異常です。
ところが、内臓脂肪型肥満(メタボリック・シンドローム)があると、間接的に動脈硬化が進行。
「内臓脂肪とは胃や肝臓など臓器の周囲にたまる脂肪」のことで、内臓脂肪型肥満があると、脂質異常、高血糖、高血圧を招きやすくなります。成人期の人々が特に注意しなければいけない３つの健康問題に大きく関連しているので、最近は内臓脂肪への関心が高まっています。
メタボリック・シンドローム診断（日本人）については、次の４つが基準です。１つは腹囲（おへその高さで測る）。男性は85センチ以上、女性は90センチ以上。腹囲が1センチ増えると、内臓脂肪は1キログラム増えると考えましょう！２つめは血中脂質。善玉HDL コレステロール40mg/dＬ未満、あるいは中性脂肪 150mg/dL以上。３つめは空腹時血糖 110mg/dL以上。４つめは収縮期血圧(上)が130mmHg 以上、拡張期(下)が85mmHg 以上。
血糖も血圧も診断基準が低く設定されているのにお気づきでしょうか？内臓脂肪型肥満があると、軽い異常が重なるだけで動脈硬化が進むので、厳しく設定されているのです。
｛腹囲 ＋ ２～４の内の2つ以上が当てはまる｝と、
メタボリック・シンドロームと診断されます。
まずは、何といっても食べ過ぎないこと！食事はよく噛んでゆっくりと、間食を避け、食品の選び方に注意しましょう。特に若い方は食べたいと言う衝動を抑えるのは大変と思います。でも、高齢期になった時少しでも健やかに楽しく愛する人たちと暮らせると思えば、きっと一歩が踏み出せるのではないでしょうか。定年を元気に迎えられるかどうかは生活習慣しだい・・・脅しているわけではありませんが、その覚悟がなければ見えない身体の中を守ることはできません。
食事内容に関しては肉より魚、バターより植物油、乳製品を摂りすぎない、食物繊維をしっかり摂る、中性脂肪が高い人は糖質を控えめに！
体重の変化を知るために朝と晩に量ってみましょう。夜には増え、朝は睡眠中にエネルギーが消費されるので減ります。変化を知れば、体重コントロールの指標に役立ちます。適正体重はBMI（体格指数）22前後。計算式は 体重(kg)÷［ 身長(m) X 身長(m) ］。BMI25以上は肥満とされます。さあ、あなたの肥満度をまず知っておきましょう！

2015-2016年度 新日系コミッティー（NJCC）
日本語教育プロジェクト活動報告
文責：嘉納もも2015年5月の組織改編後、新移住者協会の活動のひとつであった「日本語教育プロジェクト」は新日系コミッティーに受け継がれ、2016年2月をもって本年度のJICA助成金事業を全て終了させましたのでここにご報告させていただきます。
1）ハルトン地区日本語教育ワークショップ：2015年10月20・27日、11月3・10・17・24日
昨年に引き続き、ハルトン地区に在住する日本人保護者を対象に計6回のワークショップが開催されました。会場はオークビル市にあ		るニューカマーのための Centre for Education and Trainingという施設の一室を使用しました（ハルトン・リージョンより会場およびチャイルドケアの無料提供を受けました）。
1-4回はEarly

Childhood

Education

教師のドーベル名津先生を迎え、カナダで日本語の子育てを目指す日本人母親8名が教育相談と子育て支援を2時間にわたって受けました。5-6回は野口ひろみ（ヨーク大学心理学修士）、嘉納もも（トロント大学社会学博士） 		
がそれぞれ講師となり、心理学および社会学の観点からカナダでの子育て、家庭での日本語教育などをテーマに勉強会が行われました。
2）
ウオータールー地域日本語教師研修会：2015年12月13日
こちらも昨年に続き、ウオータールーで日本語教師研修会が行なわれ、計16名の参加者がありました。
トロントでの研修会には遠距離でなかなか参加できない日本語教師たちが、
レニソンカレッジの好意で無料提供された会場にて、クイーンズ大学日本語講師・青木恵子先生の「継承語101-親と教師が知っておきたいこと」と題する講義をを受けました。青木先生が2010年より主催されているキングストン日本
語教室での教育内容について、詳細なプレゼンテーションが行なわれ、教師と保護者が一体となって創り上げる日本語教育の試みに参加者一同が感銘を受けました。
3）冬期トロント地区日本語教師研修会：2016年2月7日
JCCCのヒロコ・バラル・ルームで行なわれた日本語教師研修会ではトロント大学東アジア研究科助教授の有森丈太先生を迎え、26名		
の参加者が「『女ことば』
・『男ことば』を考える：多様性と向き合うために」という講演を拝聴しました。その後、LGBTQ（Lesbian, 		
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer）の生徒に対して日本語におけるジェンダーの使い分けをどう教授するのかについてのディス		
カッ ションが行われました。英語の日常会話の場面を和訳するエクササイズを通して、日本人が「自明」とする女ことば、
ことばの特徴を再認識し、その根底を成すジェンダー役割について検討する画期的な機会を得ました。
来年度も日本語教育プロジェクト委員として、引き続きコミュニティのニーズに対応できるようなイベントを企画・実施して参ります。皆様のご協力、ご提案をよろしくお願いいたします。
