February Movie
Harmonium

A THRILLING BLEND OF SUSPENSE AND FAMILY DRAMA IS ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST!
– Mark Schilling, Japan Times“The slow-burning, quietly told thriller commands attention from start to finish…
The film’s insights… don’t merely hit their targets; they smash them with a sledgehammer.”— Sarah Ward, Screen Daily“Hard not to leave the film shaken.” — Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter
HARMONIUM is a shocking and ingenious twist on traditional Japanesefamily drama that won the Jury Prize at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival
and much praise at TIFF.
Yasaka (the great Tadanobu Asano) - recently released from prison
for murder - shows up unexpectedly at the door of a small family-run
business. Toshio (Kanji Furutachi) offers him a job and accommodationin his house without telling his wife Akie (Mariko Tsutsui). It slowly
becomes apparenty that the two men share a dark unspoken secret. At
first, Akie isn’t comfortable with Yasaka’s presence but gradually warms
up, especially after Yasaka teaches Akie’s daughter how to play the
harmonium. However, Yasaka starts making too many inroads in Toshio’s
family and, when a terrible accident occurs, Yasaka disappears…
Director Kôji Fukada has packed the film with plenty of jaw-dropping
scenarios which question the complex relationships each family member shares with another. The film’s original title translates
to “on the brink”, words that perfectly describe this tense morality tale as it measures crime, punishment and the nature of evil.
					Date: Thursday February 23, 2017 												Time: 7:00pm
					Tickets: $10 (JCCC member); $12 (General)

Upcoming Movie
The Long Excuse

Directed by Miwa Nishikawa, starring Masahiro Motoki
Celebrity author Sachio and his supportive wife Natsuko have an amicable marriagethat lacks passion. While Natsuko dies in a bus accident, Sachio is in bed with ayounger woman. Forced to play the role of a grieving widower in front of media, heis more shocked by his emotional disconnect to her death. Unable to muster any
genuine sadness for his wife’s passing, he’s at a loss for how to proceed with his
life.
Eventually he meets Yoichi, whose wife perished in the same bus accident.
Unlike Sachio, Yoichi is devastated and in denial. For unfathomable reasons Sachio
volunteers to help take care of Yoichi’s children while their father is out working longhours as a truck driver. He discovers the pleasure of being useful, and his own
existence takes on new meaning. Written and directed by Miwa Nishikawa thistouching drama received huge applause at the Toronto International Film Festival
and Rome Film Festival.
Featuring stellar acting by Masahiro Motoki (Departures) Pistol Takehara, Eri Fukatsu
and Haru Kuroki.
				The JCCC is completing arrangements for a screening of one of Kinema Junpo’s Best Films of 2016. Please check our next

5Two Traditional Japanese Treasures at the JCCC

This winter we are excited to host two very different but equally fascinating traditional performancesby artists travelling directly from Japan.

Rakugo - Yanagiya Sankyo Traditional Comic Story Telling (with English Subtitles)
Get ready to laugh this February! The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre will host a"Rakugo-kai" with veteran Rakugo star Yanagiya Sankyo. He became an apprentice
to Yanagiya Kosan V and received the high shin’uchi rank in 1981.
A gifted performer, he is famous for his ability to portray the subtlest emotions of acharacter during a performance. In rakugo, a lone storyteller in traditional garb sits
on stage. Using only a paper fan (sensu) and a small cloth (tenugui) as props, andwithout standing up from the seiza sitting position, the rakugo artist depicts a longand complicated comical story. The story always involves the dialogue of two or morecharacters, the difference between the characters depicted only through change inpitch, tone, and a slight turn of the head. Absolutely fascinating and guaranteed toleave you laughing. *Tickets are non-refundable
Date: Sunday February 12, 2017
Time: 2:00pm
Tickets: $12 (JCCC member); $17 (General) HST Included.

Geimaruza

The Best in Japanese Traditional Dance and Music
Nihon Buyo, literally “Japanese dance,” is a modern art form performedby artists who train vigorously in kabuki dance. Geimaruza, Japan’s
young and rising stars—all alumni of the prestigious Tokyo University of
the Arts’ nihon buyo program—grace the stage with a gorgeous program
including traditional kabuki and folk dances and original neo-traditionalarrangements. Performed alongside an ensemble of musician(shamisen,
fue, taiko, otsuzumi, kotsuzumi) and chanters, the evening include
Ayatsuri Sanbaso (Puppet Sanbaso), Oshukubai (The Nightingale in

The JCCC New Year’s Eve Dinner and Dance for 2016 was, once again, a great success.
On the December 30, 2016 a crew of volunteers gathered to inflate the balloons
which were then corralled into a net to be raised to the ceiling. Alongside some ofthe experienced volunteers, a few new volunteers worked hard to achieve the right“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 more than 220 guests, the room was busy with activity and greetings. Everyone
quickly settled in and enjoyed the Prime Rib buffet dinner catered by Calvert’s.
Immediately following dinner the attendees took to the dance floor. There were
Photo courtesy of Edward Lee
opportunities for spot and novelty dances for prizes throughout the night.
This year’s attendees were treated to not one, but two special performances. Our DJ brought 10 dancers that are known for
their choreographed group ballroom dance performances. And if that wasn't special enough, there was a fantastic performanceby Winson Tam and Anastasia Novikova. The JCCC was very privileged to have these national and world champion dancers
perform at our event.
At midnight, 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 committee members.

Heritage News
Heritage Corner
On November 30, the Heritage Committee hosted Shigeru
Kojima and Yukiko Watanabe from the Japanese Overseas
Migration Museum in Yokohama, Japan. Kojima-san and
Watanabe-san were visiting Toronto and the JCCC to learn
more about Toronto and the Japanese Canadian community
here. After an extensive tour of the JCCC, Kojima-san
shared pictures of several JOMM exhibits about theJapanese Diaspora that are available to be shared with otherorganizations around the world. The Heritage Committee isworking on bringing several of these to the JCCC, including
an exhibit on Manga from around the world. The first exhibitthat we will be bringing to the JCCC is an exhibit on LARA
(Licensed Agencies for Relief in Asia), an American private
sector organization which sent large amounts of relief
items to Japan after World War II. Though based out of
the US, there were groups in Canada which contributed aswell. Watch the newsletter for news about the installation!
Our meeting with Kojima-san and Watanabe-san served tostrengthen our ties to this important institution in Japan.
Now open in the Gallery is the Founder’s Exhibit, atribute exhibition of works by the founding generation ofartists of the JCCC Gallery. Come and visit before the endof March to see this dynamic collection of works.

Submitted by Japanese Social Services Holiday Drive TeamMay we express our sincere gratitude for your generous
support of our 2016 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 30
families, consisting of 71 individuals.
This was our 16th 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 2016
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. As well,
JSS could not have accomplished 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.
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 thisJSS activity is very much appreciated.
