SPECIAL MESSAGE

GARAMOND COURT IS NOW SAKURA WAY!
At our August 12 Nostalgia Night we welcomed special guest City Councillor Jon Burnside. He was here to make an
exciting announcement: Garamond Court would be renamed Sakura Way!
In the 1960s our street was home of a number of printing factories including our building which was CCH Printing.
Garamond is a printing font so it was an apt name for the street. The signature address is now a major cultural institution
surrounded by 100 Sakura trees. This new name is again reflective of the character of street.
The new signs went up a few days later and gradually Canada Post, Google, the TTC and others will catch up with the
new street name. In the meantime, the Garamond Court address still works!
Over the next several months, you will see the new address showing up in publications and online. We look forward towelcoming you on your next visit to 6 Sakura Way!

Marty Kobayashi, Chris Hope and James Heron.

reasons but promises to pop in as a volunteer herself. Thank

RECAP

Nostalgia Night Celebrates the JCCC’s
60th Anniversary
What an incredible celebration - twohundred and twenty guests, six exhibits
to explore, more than 60 volunteers,
an incredible buffet, and a very special
surprise announcement.
Guests were greeted by James Heron, Chris Hope, and Marty Kobayashi
before signing in with our kimono-cladregistration volunteers. Many guests
took the time to explore exhibits on
display throughout the main floor of
the JCCC.
Guests wandered the JCCC taking
the opportunity to see the new
Yuima~Ru: Spirit of Coming Together
exhibit in the Moriyama Nikkei Heritage
Centre – an addition to the Maru exhibiton the Japanese Diaspora; visited the
Art Gallery to view the JCCC’s collection of York Wilson’s work; explored the
JCCC timeline, and checked out a new
joint exhibit with York University – Data
Driven Story Telling.
This year’s Nostalgia Night was different from past years when we saluted
organizations and clubs from the JC
community. This Nostalgia Night paid
tribute to the JCCC’s 60 years and focused on remembering the early years
at 123 Wynford Drive, our move to 6 Garamond Court, and then looking forward
to the future.
Marty Kobayashi was only eight years
old when the Centre opened and as thefirst presenter, he started with a very
nostalgic look back on the developmentof the Centre. He gave a bit of history on
its start, the key people who led the way,

the programs, the clubs, the volunteers,and key events like Caravan’s Tokyo
Pavilion that spotlighted the JCCC in the
broader community. Next, Toronto City
Councillor Jon Burnside was introduced
to bring greetings from the city andto announce the approval to change
the name of Garamond Court to Sakura Way. Chris Hope accepted the new
Sakura Way street sign, acknowledging
that because of the Japanese Consulate’s Sakura Tree planting programs in2004 and 2012 and Shiseido Canada’s
recent donations of 75 trees in 2022
and 2023, marking their 150th Anniversary, we now are the Japanese Canadian
Cultural Centre at 6 Sakura Way!
Following this, a sumptuous Japanese Canadian buffet was served. Guests
filled their plates with Japanese Canadian "comfort food" and settled down
to listen to James Heron talk about themove to our current location and how
the community once again rose to thechallenge to make 6 Garamond Court
their new home. He spoke of all the newprogramming this facility has allowed
us to create – Toronto Japanese Film
Festival in Kobayashi Hall, the Moriyama
Nikkei Heritage Centre, JCCC Gallery,
Tea Room, and Library to name a few.
He spoke about the hardship of thepandemic and how, once again, the community rose up to support the Centre
with donations and participating in ourfundraiser, Keep the Lantern Lit. He reminded us of the Emperor’s wish during
his visit, asking us to "keep going andsupport our community".

OCTOBER 2023 VOL. 49 ISSUE 10

Chris Hope, the current JCCC President, then spoke about the future –the strategic planning that will take us
into the next five years as we continue
to raise our profile as a cultural force
within the community both globally andonline. We have a big task ahead of
us to make sure we can sustain a highlevel of excellence as a cultural centre
and as a key resource of informationfor education and knowledge building.
We were serenaded by the Mixed
Chorus Group Asunaro. Led by Harry
Kawabe, the chorus entertained us withthree lovely songs. To top off the dinner,
we enjoyed dessert and door prizes tobring the evening to a close.
Guests were very appreciative of theevent and conveyed their thanks as they
accepted one last gift, the 50th Anniversary Yearbook and a 60th Anniversary
Pin as they left for the evening.
These events are only possible because of the fantastic volunteers andstaff who sit on the Nostalgia Night
Planning Committee, advise us, do theregistration, set up the event, usher people to their seats, cook the buffet dishes,
serve our super seniors, look after thetechnical stuff, and then tidy up like itnever happened!!
Thank you to all who volunteered andthank you to all who joined us in thiscelebration!

In this highly popular adventure fantasy based on the best-selling manga, Rohan Kishibe - a young manga artist - meetsa mysterious, beautiful woman who tells him of a cursed 200-year-old painting. The painting was created using the blackest ink ever known, taken from a 1,000-year-old tree that the painter cut down without the approval of the Emperor.
The painter was executed for this, but the painting was saved from destruction by a curator of the Louvre. Rohan visits
Paris and asks the museum to unearth the painting from deep within its archives - but he is completely unprepared forthe power of the curse he will unleash.

Thursday November 2, 7:00pm
Admission$8.85 +HST ($10) JCCC member; $10.62 +HST ($12) non-member★ ★ ★ ★ (4 stars) – Japan Times“Director Shinya Tamada’s gentle slice of life drama is a refreshingly empathetic in its fierce defence of its heroine’s
right to chase happiness in the way that best suits her.” – Window on Worlds
Thirty-year-old Kasumi (Toko Miura in her first starring role since Drive My Car) works at a call center and lives at home,often pestered by her mother who desperately wants her to get married, even going so far as to set up an arranged
marriage interview to marry her off. But Kasumi does not feel sexual or romantic feelings for either gender. Aided by her
cheerful and equally outsider friend Maho, she simply desires to live without the rigidly constructed ideals of love andmarriage. This compassionate and beautifully-acted “anti-rom com” is a liberating departure from the conceit that romantic
love equates happiness and a life fulfilled.
Starring Toko Miura, Atsuko Maeda, Marika Ito

as the cornerstone for who we are as a community.

EXHIBITION FROM 23 SEPTEMBER 2023
THROUGH 25 NOVEMBER 2023

CURATED BY
CHIEDZA PASIPANODYAEXHIBITIONOPENING NIGHT & LIVE PERFORMANCES“Unchanging and changing and changing” is a solo
exhibition and live performance by Alexa KumikoHatanaka that features wearable paper artworks thatare imbued with the life of the performers alongside
the histories of craft and place that inform them.
A reflection on well-being and selfhood, the works
unite and contrast needs for protective armours and“inverse armours,” the latter activated by dance, music
and friends to encourage expression and joy. Hatanaka
reflects on personal aftershocks from tsunamis, both
real and metaphorical. Her work integrates her formative childhood experience in dance at the Japanese
Canadian Cultural Centre and is steeped with her recent
time spent at a fourth generation paper mill in Japan.
Her ethereal work collapse time and string together
interconnected histories held within the threads, repairs
and fibres of her practice: ancestral ties; the lineageof printmaking, inks and natural dyes; personal narratives
incorporating past printmaking blocks; and scraps ofpapers sewn into the next and the next work.

This exhibition was made possible through generous funding fromthe Canada Council of the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.

Volunteer News
Dear JCCC Community,
Thank you so much for taking such good care of me in the past nine months. It
has been an absolute pleasure working alongside all the wonderful volunteers andstaff at the Cultural Centre.
There were many people who touched my heart at the JCCC, but please allow
me to share a special shout-out to following team members:
Thank you, Sharon Marubashi and Jan Nobuto, for being great mentors of mine at
the JCCC. You have taught me so much about leadership and volunteer engagement.
Thank you, Sandy Chan, for your ongoing support, wealth of knowledge, andkind words of encouragement. You always put the team first, and you are always
there for the team when we needed you the most.
Thank you, Christine Takasaki, for helping me navigate many large-scale community events. You taught me everything from running the industrial dishwasher
to planning a massive Bazaar!
...And to the countless event volunteers for being such an amazing team!
I have worked for multiple volunteer programs throughout my career – both as a volunteer and as a coordinator. The
JCCC volunteer program is a truly special community that I have not seen anywhere else. You have inspired me in so many
ways, both professionally and personally. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this community.
Thank you again for all that you do. I look forward to seeing many of you at the JCCC again soon!
With appreciation,

Thornhill Sluggers Win JC3-Pitch
Championship!
Close, tight-knit games filled the end of the regular season and continued on into the JC3-Pitch play-offs. In the semi-finals, Nick Chung’s 4th place Thornhill Toyota team played their best defensive game of the season to upset Andrew
Lok’s 1st place Back2feet squad 27-26, holding off a late rally in the bottom of the 7th inning to secure the win. In thesecond semi-final game, Justin Ogino’s 3rd place Thornhill Sluggers played their finest all-round game of the season todefeat Tod Nagamatsu’s 2nd place iA Private Wealth team 34-22. For the first time in many years, neither the 1st or 2nd
place teams qualified for the finals.
All signs pointed to the Championship game being a toss-up with both of the “Thornhill” sponsored teams splitting theirregular season series with 2 wins apiece. In the end, one huge 8-run inning put up by Justin Ogino’s Thornhill Sluggers
was the difference as they captured the 2023 Championship with a narrow 26-25 win over Nick Chung’s Thornhill Toyota.
Congratulations everyone on a fine game to end the season!
The JC3-Pitch League would like to thank their sponsors for their support during the season. Andrew, Yim and Gar Lok
from Back2feet, Marty Kobayashi from iA Private Wealth, Larry Kimura for the Thornhill Sluggers and Chad Howson ofThornhill Toyota.

健やかな老後をめざして その66 - ちょっと骨休み
マーナ豊澤英子（ 医学博士 老年看護スペシャリスト

mernagh@rogers.com ）連載を読んで下さっていると、もしかしたら「えい子さんは相当にストイック
な健康志向の人ではないかしら？」と思われているかもしれませんね。
どちらかと言えば努力するタイプとは思いますが、けっこう手抜きして生活しているのも事実です。
「意思決定した事を継続して実行する」
は強みの１つでしょうか。
日常生
活、趣味、
あるいは仕事でも、その姿勢に変わりはありません。
ですから、医
療職として学んだことをなるべく生活に活かしたいな、と努力しているに過ぎません。
食生活の基本を大事に暮らしていますが、たとえば招待された際やパーティーでは何でもありがたくいただきます。
「郷に入れば 郷に従え」
です
ね。
また、
普段は選ば
（食べ）
ない食材を味わうことのできる機会を楽しみます。
日頃の節制へのご褒美です（笑）
。
お酒はどんなものでも香りをかぐのが大好きです。飲むよりもまず香りを楽しんでいます。
日本酒であれば、その香りでおよその味を予想します。
これがけっこう良く当たります。
飲食業の人に褒められ、酒ソムリエのコースを受
けようかと思ったほどです（大笑）。
日頃から薄味・淡味に心がけ、舌をなるべ
く繊細に保つように努力し、においをかぐ習慣を大事にしていることが活かされているような気がします。
あらゆる酒の香りと味を楽しんでいますが、アルコールに弱いことが幸いして、残念ながら少ししか飲めません。
Good forme!
今年も食生活の指標となる検査結果に異常はありませんでした。
総蛋白、
アルブミン、
ミネラル電解質、鉄分、ビタミン類、総コレステロール、
善玉HDLと悪玉LDLコレステロール、血糖など、全ては正常範囲でした。
普通に何でも食べていた30代は、
特に肉好きや大食家でなかったにもかかわらず、
総コレステロールは異常値に手が届きそうだったのです。
そのまま
行けば、
40代後半には相当の値に上昇したのはまちがいありません。
ところが、生活習慣病に注意を払いながら暮らし始めると、徐々に検査値が改善していきました。
つまり、意識して生活すれば悪化を防げるのです！
ところで、私の日常生活を狂わす原因となるものがあります。
それは“読
書”。
たまらなく好きなのですね。
小学校卒業時に「6年間でもっとも図書館を利用した生徒」という賞をもらったほどだったのに、
中高生時代は進学のための勉強に明け暮れ、職業人となってからは専門書や研究雑誌に目を通すことが中心となり......読書時間よりは睡眠時間の確保が必須でした。
“シニアとなった今こそが人生でもっとも充実している”と感じるのは、時間に追われずに好きなことが自由にできるからです。私にとって、それが読書。
いったんシリーズ物など読み始めると（食事はしますが）朝から晩まで読みふけってしまいます。
ですから、締切のある仕事をやっている期間は封印します。
書棚に近づかないようにしています。
アルコールや食べ物はコントロール
できるのに、
読書は止まらなくなります（笑）
。
私にとって、何かを成し遂げた後の読書時間が何よりものご褒美。
ただし、読書は創造力や熟考力を養う点ではいいですが、難点は動かないこと！数日も続けると、
私の足腰が弱ります。
シニアの場合“骨休みはほどほどに”も大事ですね。
