August Movie Night: Poison Berry in My Brain
30-year-old Ichiko spots 20-something Ryochi at a party. Her attraction is immediate, yet
she stands frozen, unable to decide whether or not to speak with him. Inside her head, afractious committee meeting is taking place. The participants are her emotions: reason,
negatively, optimism, memory and impulse… Based on Setona Mizushiro’s 2009 josei
manga series the film plays like a live-action Japanese companion piece to Pixar’s InsideOut. Very funny, emotionally engaging and surprisingly mature in its themes, the film
showcases Yoko Maki’s comedic gifts and is enlivened by a very energetic and hilarious
supporting cast. Starring Yoko Maki, Hidetoshi Nishijima, Ryunosuke Kamiki, Yuki Furukawa, Sungha, Yo Yoshida, Hiyori Sakurada, Kazuyuki Asano
Date: Thursday August 25, 2016
Time: 7:00pm
Ticket: $10 (JCCC Member); $12 (General)

September Movie Night:
Miss Hokusai

Our September Screening Brings a New Anime
Masterpiece
Keiichi Hara’s extraordinary animated film tells the story of
O-Ei, the little-known daughter of the famed ukiyo-e artist
Hokusai, creator of some of Japan’s most iconic images. An
outspoken 23-year-old and the inheritor of her father’s artistic
gifts and stubbornness, she shares his home, and serves
as his assistant, often completing or redoing works for him.
Unsophisticated, naïve, and fearless, she tugs insistently
at the bridle of Edo tradition and propriety, showing her
gentle side only when caring for her blind sister O-Nao. Miss
Hokusai is mature, unsentimental and startlingly beautiful.
Lovers of Japanese traditional culture and anime fans alikewill find much to enjoy. Winner of the Satoshi Kon Awardfor best animated feature film at Montreal’s 2015 Fantasia
International Film Festival. Voiced by Anne Watanabe andYutaka Matsushige.
O-Ei’s story has also been told in Canadianauthor Katherine Govier’s excellent novel,

The Toronto Japanese Film Festival 2016 was our biggest and most successful to date thanks to the great audiences,tireless volunteers, a strong film line-up and fascinating guests. In 5 years the fest has grown to become the largest festivalof its kind in North America with audiences of over 7,000 and 26 screenings, many of them at 500+ sold-out capacity.
The Grand Jury Prize for Best Film went to Mipo O’s searing drama BEING GOOD while Nobuhiro Doi’s funny anduplifting FLYING COLORS took the Kobayashi Audience Choice Award. We were joined by director Hiroaki Matsuyama(NOBUNAGA CONCERTO), Haruhiko Arai (WHEN I WAS MOST BEAUTIFUL) and Cellin Gluck (PERSONA NON GRATA).
So popular was Gluck’s film that he actually flew in twice for two sold-out screenings.
We also enjoyed musical performances by The Jessica Stuart Few and Raging Asian Women Taiko as well as a crazysound effect’s demo from foley artist Goro Koyama.
The post screening surveys indicated that audiences really enjoyed the diverse line-up and we heard many voices
asking that we continue this great new JCCC tradition in 2017. We promise we will! In the meantime see you at our next
monthly movie night!

Bayefsky / Inouye:
Tattoo Images Wrap-Up
By Bryce Kanbara, Arts Committee

This striking exhibition of Bayefsky's delicate watercolour
paintings and Inouye's insightful, photo exposition of tattoos
in the JC community stirred up unanticipated associations
with people and events beyond the JCCC Gallery walls. At theofficial opening in June, JCCC President, Gary Kawaguchi,
spoke of the long-standing bond between the Jewish andJapanese Canadian communities in Toronto, and invited Mr.
Bayefsky's widow and daughter Edra as honoured guests to
the Toronto Japanese Film Festival's screening of Persona
Non Grata, the story of diplomat Chiune Sugihara who saved
the lives of 6,000 Jewish refugees by issuing visas as theyescaped the Holocaust.
And the tattoo theme
also reminded us of "SkinDeep", a full-length film
set in the tattoo industry
made by the daring sansei
filmmaker, Midi Onodera
in 1996.

On successive Saturdays, activity days were organized:a family activity day with story-telling and washable inks,
and a live tattoo session by tattoo artists from Hidden Door
Studio, Maru and Jen.
Running concurrently with the richly produced "Tattoos"
exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum, "Bayefsky / Inouye"
presented a humble counterpoint, and contributed a uniquely
Japanese Canadian perspective.
We wish to express our appreciation to Edra Bayefsky
and Yosh Inouye, and to Elizabeth Fujita-Kwan for
conducting and writing the interviews for Yosh's project. The
Arts Committee would like to gratefully acknowledge thefinancial assistance of the NAJC Endowment Fund.

シャロン•マルバシからのご挨拶
皆様、こんにちは。シャロン•マルバシと申します。JCCCと私の関係はなんと40年になります！JCCCの理事会で秘書を長い間勤めておりますが、今まで春祭りや夏祭り、ありがとうデーやファミリーゴルフ大会、一世デーなどのイベントを運営しきました。
JCCCの将来は私にとってとても大切で、NJCC (New Japanese-Canadian Committee) はとても重要な存在となります。JCCCの理事会でもその重要性を理解し、トロント新移住者協会からNJCCへの移行がスムーズに進むよう協力し合いながら活動をしています。NJCCのコミッティーメンバーとして、皆様と共に活動できることを嬉しく思います。私は日本語は話しませんが、JCCCのボランティアやイベントなどの経験を生かしてこれからも様々な形で貢献していきたいと考えています。
最近で一番大きなイベントとしては、7月9日に行われた夏祭りがありました。夏祭りでは七夕をお祝いすると同時に、盆踊りやエンター
テインメント、食べ物の出店や子供のゲームなどがあり、たくさんの来場客で盛り上がりました。
皆様、どうぞ良い夏をお過ごし下さい。そしてまた次のJCCCのイベントでお会いしましょう！

健やかな老後をめざして その６動脈硬化の対策③：質問あれこれ「和食がなぜよいの？」「悪玉LDLコレス
テロールが気になるけど、子供がいるので肉食が多い」「シニアなので野菜のみ」 「太ってないので脂質異常とは関係ない?」等、読者の方々からコメントや質問をいただきました。
食生活はそれぞれの健康状態、食に対する価値観、経済状況に照らし合わせながら営まれています。基 本 的 に は、身 体を成長・維持させるために“バランス良い栄養素の摂取が大事”です。野菜のみでは低栄養になり、筋肉量が減って転倒リスクが高まり、免疫力も低下します。“高齢になっても、是非に肉や魚も加えましょう。”
当地で暮らす私たちはどうしても和食より洋食（多国籍食）が多くなり、食生活の変化に伴い生活習慣病が増加しています。最近は、脂の少ない伝統的な和食が見直されています。脂には飽和脂肪酸と不飽和脂肪酸があり、前者は牛や豚のバラ肉、ベーコン、
鶏肉の皮、バターなどに多く含まれ、体内で悪玉を増やします。調理にはバターやマーガリンではなく、不飽和脂肪酸を多く含む植物油を使いましょう。脂を摂りすぎれば動脈硬化が進行、でも不足
すると細胞膜や血管が弱くなります。高齢者に肉（赤身）や魚を勧める理由の1つです。
不飽和脂肪酸は悪玉をあまり増やさず、中性脂肪や血圧を下げる働きがあります。これを多く含むのが青魚（さんま、いわし、ぶりなど）。身近にあるサ－モンも不飽和脂肪酸を多く含み、抗酸化作用が強い優れモノ！和食の良さは不飽和脂肪酸の多い魚や大豆製品を摂る機会が多く、食物繊維を含む野菜や海草類が豊富な点。ただし、”醤油やみそなど塩分の多い調味料は控え目に！”子育て中の場合、どうしても子どもに合わせた肉中心の食事に偏りがち。食べ過ぎない（ゆっくり噛み、合間に水分を摂る）、食
卓に野菜をなるべく並べる、外食の際は魚や野菜メニューを意図的に選ぶ、等の工夫をしましょう。数か月、1年と続けることが大事です。継続は力なり！
「太っていない＝コレステロールは大丈夫」とは言えません。

痩せていてもコレステロール値が高い人や体脂肪の多い「隠れ肥満」も存在します。また、閉経後には女性ホルモン（エストロゲン）減少により脂質異常症が起こり安くなります。食事や運動で改善しない場合は、心筋梗塞や脳梗塞を予防するために、ホームド
クターと薬物治療を検討しましょう。ただし、“薬を飲んでいても食生活が基本です！”

また、「着物ファン」というグループの気さくなメンバーの人のおかげで着物を着る複雑な手順を覚えることが出来ました。
着物を着てモデルとして体育館を歩いたことは僕にとってとっても恥ずかしかったですが、大変光栄でした。

着物ショー

古屋恵理佳

着物は日本の文化

二月十三日に、トロント日本語学校で着物ショーがありました。着物ファンというグループ人たちが来て、着物のしょうかいをしてくれました。
私は、着付けのデモンストレーションでモデルになりました。そして、ふりそでを着せてもらいました。
ふりそでは、そでがとても長くて、きれいです。でも着るのがたいへんです。
まず、ピンクの長じゅばんを着ました。長じゅばん
は、軽くてふわふわしていました。
つぎに、着物を着ました。着物は絹でできています。だから、重かったです。
さいごに、帯をしめました。帯は、とでもぶあつくて、重かったです。帯には、いろいろな道具を使います。おなかのところに、帯板を入れて、まっすぐにします。背中に帯枕を入れて、形をふくらませます。きれいな帯揚げ帯じめで、かざります。
着物ファンの人は、かたい帯できれいな形を作りました。帯を結ぶのは、時間がかかりました。でも、みんなが、「きれい」「かわいい」といってくれました。
着物を着るのは、おもしろかったです。着物ファンのみなさん、ありがとうございました。

２０１６年度トロント紅白歌合戦

布施

明日加

日本語学校で、着物を着るき会がありました。私は、大人の着物を着たことがありませんでした。着物は、すごく軽くて、やわらかかったです。けれども、この着物は、私の体にしっかりとまきついていたので、うごくことがむずかしかったです。
今回、着物を通して、私は日本文化のすばらしさを見ることができました。たとえば、着物のぬい方、一まいずつにばらして洗たくし、またぬい合わせること。えりがよごれないように布をあてること。古い着物はぞうきんやふくろにリサイクルすることなど、日本人のかしこさ、細かさをしりました。
この経けんから、
もっと日本文化にきょうみをもちました。

ミシェル・チャウ
トロント日本語学校では文化イベントが毎年2月中旬開催されます。
日本の伝統文化に関してテーマが異なりますが、今年は和服でした。
私はずっと着物を着てみたかったので、楽しみにしていました。今回は初めての着物を着る経験なので、成人の女性モデルとして参加が出来て光栄でした。着物は硬い感じで、すぐには慣れませんでした。でも着てみるととても楽しくて面白い経験でした。モデルの皆さん
は可愛く綺麗で輝いていたと思います。先生
方にお世話になってありがとうございました!
そして足を運んでくださった方々もとても寒い所をありがとうございました。
また機会があったら幸いです!!
