JCCC Events

The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centreis pleased to host the Canadian Premiereof the feature documentary Kampai!
Sake Sisters on March 5, 2020 tocelebrate International Women’s Month.
The screening is preceded by a talk on
saké by international saké educator andpromoter Mariko Tajiri. Mariko will host a
guided tasting featuring sakés from top
producers, include some from the film,
following the screening.
For centuries, women were forbidden
to set foot into saké breweries, let alone
be involved with its production. Today,
women are the ones driving the most
exciting changes within the ever-evolving
saké industry in Japan. The feature
documentary KAMPAI! – SAKE SISTERS,
directed by Mirai Konishi invites audiences
into the passionate lives of three gamechanging women who are making theirmark on the highly competitive, traditionallymale-dominated world of saké.
Miho Imada comes from a family
February 2020 Vol. 46 Issue 2of Master Brewers and is considered,
thanks to the award-winning saké she
produced out of the artisanal Imada Saké
Brewery, one of today’s most renowned
Master Brewers. Many emerging women
brewers consider Miho their big sister,
who paved the way for them. Marie
Chiba, the manager of a trendy saké barin Tokyo, is a trail-blazing sommelier.
She tirelessly searches for the best
saké and her loyal customers, many ofthem women, especially appreciate her
exceptional talent for pairing saké andfood in completely fresh and unexpected
ways. Rebekah Wilson-Lye, originallyfrom New Zealand, fell in love with saké
while teaching English in Japan. Her
ability to pick up more flavour and nuances
than most sommeliers quickly earned heraccolades and expertise to champion thebest creations and their brewers all over
the world.
The stories of these saké sisters offer
a comprehensive and mouthwatering2

portrait of how women are taking ownershipof saké and are adapting ancient traditions
to create a new era.

The JCCC New Year’s Eve Dinner and Dance for 2019 was, once again, a great success.
On December 30, a crew of volunteers
gathered to inflate 400 balloons whichwere then corralled into a net to be raised
to the ceiling in the Kobayashi Hall. They
worked hard to achieve the "right look" forthe celebration. By late afternoon almost
everything was ready for the next night.
As people arrived on New Year’s Eve,they entered the hall to sounds of music by
DJ Ralph Yuen. With about 200 guests, theroom was busy with activity and greetings.
But everyone quickly settled in order toenjoy the Prime Rib buffet dinner cateredby Calvert’s. Immediately following dinner
the attendees took to the dance floor.
There were opportunities for spot andnovelty dances for prizes throughout thenight.
This year’s attendees were treatedto a very special performance.
We
saw 16 dancers who participated in achoreographed group and single ballroom
dance performances.
At midnight, the hundreds of balloons

cascaded down on the revellers to greet
the New Year. Champagne and sushi wereserved. It was a fantastic celebration!
The whole event would not havebeen possible without the support andsponsorship of Kobo Jewellery Inc., JoCy and Edward Lee, Kay Fujiwara, Midori
Fujiwara, Perry and Fenella Chai andour tireless committee members, Sid andMarie Ikeda.

The JCCC’s Annual Shinnen Kai is the right way to start off a New Year!
Kobayashi Hall was again the place to be

Celebrations in Japanese Canadian’s Families

https://vimeo.com/374964245

Kunio Suyama (December 24, 1927 –December 27, 2018) was born on the Eveof Christmas in 1927 so the holiday seasons
had always been a special time for him. In
this featured clip, listen to Kunio describe
different celebrations during his youth: frommikan (small variety of tangerines) in his
Christmas stockings to making mochi for
New Year's celebrations.
For Yoshiye Kosaka, preparations for
New Year start as early as summertime when
the strawberry season ended. In this featured
clip, she describes her mother’s process formaking saké for the New Year celebrations.
Listen to her hilarious recollection of herneighbour being envious of her mother’sdelicious saké!

Something Old, Something New:
Celebrating Japanese Canadian Wedding Photographs
Heritage’s exhibit, ”Something Old,
Something New” opened with an intimate
reception on December 8, 2019 withspeeches, cake and tea - a very fitting
reception for a show celebrating wedding
photographs.
This exhibit combined community
submissionsofphotographs
withphotographs taken from our Archives to
produce a tremendously joyful curation.
With photographs taken from 1922
until 2019, the show spanned almost 100
years of happy moments in both Japan andCanada. It featured the happy momentsof multiple generations as well as someshared family histories, like the dress
worn by an older sister, married in 1938 in
Vancouver, that was then carried to Tashme
internment camp where her younger sisterwore it when she married there in 1946. Or
the photos of mother and daughter, both

shown dancing on their wedding days.
With the addition of wedding dresses
and kimono, betrothal contracts, and otherartifacts from our collection, it has sparked
conversations about how little wedding
dress designs have changed or havecome full circle in style and the changing
dynamics of our Japanese Canadian
community. Visitors were often overheard
reminiscing about the people and picturesand laughing at shared memories andanecdotes as they made their way throughthe exhibit!
Heritage Archives wishes to thankeveryone who submitted wedding photos
and stories that helped to make this exhibit
a great success. And we look forward to
your continued support as the exhibit team
begins its work on planning out this year's
exhibit.

Wedding Exhibition
By John Ota

Curated by Theressa Takasaki, theshow, "Somthing Old, Something
New", traced weddings from the late
19th century to the present day withphotos, documents, artefacts andactual wedding dresses. Most striking
was a lacy wedding dress worn by
Toshie Takahashi at her 1955 wedding
at Hart House in Toronto. According to
her daughter, Joy Takahashi, the dress
resided on the top tray in her mother's
shipping trunk all these years.
“I never thought of my mother as
being trendy", says Joy. “But in 1955, the"Sabrina" dress style was popularized
by Audrey Hepburn in the 1954 movie,
Sabrina. I guess, my mother thought itwould be quite fashionable to create ashort length, wedding dress in this style.
She would have been tickled to knowthat it was on exhibit.”
Gazing at the smiling faces in thewedding exhibit provided a muchneeded respite from the stress ofholiday shopping and commitments. It
also brought back memories of people
long gone. They reappeared smiling,
exuberant and young – like they had
never left.

The JCCC held its 9th Annual Fuyu Matsuri– Winter Festival on Sunday, December 1,
2019. Despite the bad weather, we were
glad to see hundreds of guests enjoying
the food, performances, shopping, andentertainment hosted during the event.
Food vendors had offered a variety ofJapanese winter comfort foods, alongside
our Saké tasting bar. Guests were able
to enjoy activities and performances
throughout the day, including Taiko,harmonica by Sid Ikeda, a Yosakoi dance,
and the ever popular ramune speed
drinking contest sponsored by Ozawa
Canada. One of our highlights from lastyear made a return as we also hosted
our second annual Holiday Cosplay

The JCCC is Implementing a new
Volunteer Database System

ボランティアデータベースソフトウェア導入
ボランティアコミティより

この７年の間、JCCCのイベントや活動の増加と規模拡大と共に、
ボランティアの数が急増し、それに伴いボランティアの個人情報の管理、ボランティア登録、イベントボランティアのアレンジメントなど様々な事務管理の難題に直面してきました。現在、登録リストには２０００人以上の名前が入っていますが、アクティブボランティアの確実な人数を出すことも難しいほどになってきました。この度、検討を重ね、今年ようやくボランティアデータベースソフトウェアを導入する運
びとなりました。
データベースが完全に利用できるようになるまでには、スタッフや関係者のトレーニング、使用テストなどをするため、しばらく時間がか
かりますが、
この導入により、事務管理面だけでなく、ボランティアの皆さんにも沢山のメリットを感じていただけると思います。
これまで、イベントボランティアをして下さった方は、登録時に毎回同じ情報を記入して頂いておりました。
このデータベースの導入により、その必要がなくなり、簡潔な登録で済むようになります。また、イベン
ト当日にはサイン・インとアウトを手書きで行っておりましたが、携帯電話などから簡単にできるようになります。それに加えて、個人情報の管理が更に徹底され、安全に保管されます。将来的に、定期的にボ
ランティアをして下さる方のライブラリーやアーカイブの皆さんのチェックインなども、より簡単にできるようにし、安全性も強化していく予定です。ボランティアサービスアワードなどの受賞者を推薦する過程もスムーズになり更に広がります。
今後しばらくの間、システムを変えるうえで、ボランティアの皆様には何かとご迷惑をおかけする事もございますが、ご理解とご協力のほどどうぞよろしくお願い致します。出来るだけ進行状況をEmailにてお知らせいたします。

Volunteer Opportunities
ボランティア募集中

There are many volunteer opportunities available at the
JCCC throughout the year. These positions include helping
at festivals, heritage-related programs, the JCCC Library andmany more.
If you are interested in, please to subscribe to JCCC
Volunteer mailing list on JCCC website: http://www.jccc.
on.ca/en/volunteer/

By Volunteer Committee

The JCCC has grown in the past seven years with more
events and festivals than ever and volunteer numbers rapidly
increasing. To more effectively manage and organize thechallenges of organizing volunteers for all of our events,
keeping and updating volunteer’s individual information, andimproving the volunteer registration process, the JCCC will
be implementing a new Volunteer Database that will bettersupport our volunteers.
The process of implementation will take some time tobecome fully operational, but once in place it will greatly
benefit our volunteers and events. This system promises
to improve the registration process for event participation.
Record keeping of volunteers’ service is another benefit of
the system and this will provide us with an effective way toidentify nominees for volunteer service awards within our
JCCC community and provincially.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we
implement this new system. For future updates we will notify
volunteers via email.

DO YOU LIKE ART?

The JCCC Gallery is launching FRIENDS OF THE JCCCGALLERY.
