Kats
Takada’s
expressive wood
carvings
ofhimself and family
members
areoften portraits ofalarming frankness.
They may seem
witty and evenhumorous at firstglance, but they’reloaded with stark facts about real-life encounters with physical andmental afflictions, and the poignancy of growing old. “It’s coming”
is a self-portrait produced when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s
Disease.
Born in Chigasaki, Japan, Takada immigrated to Canada in 1969.
He had briefly studied the craft of Kamakura-bori in Japan,
and resumed carving here by enrolling in evening classes at
a community centre. He is a thirty-year member of the Ontario
Woodworking Association. The exhibit is currently showing in the
JCCC Gallery until August 30, 2014.

August Movie Night: LEAVING ON THE
15TH SPRINGA Heart-felt Tale of Growing Up in Okinawa☆☆☆☆(4 stars)
Mark Schilling, The Japan Times
The film is set on a small island
called Minamidaito with a populationof 1,200 and no high school. After
finishing 9th grade at a school sosmall they share their cafeteria withprimary school children, most of
the island’s 15-year-olds continue
their education on Okinawa. Every
year departing girls belonging to a
traditional music circle perform a song titled “Abayoi” (“Goodbye”
in the local dialect) for their tight-knit community. The film’s heroineis the sweet-but-serious circle leader, Yuna. During an annual
sports and culture festival held with a nearby island, Yuna meetsa tall, handsome, boy who is the star pitcher of the rival team andthey agree to exchange letters. Love begins to bloom across theocean.
In her stirring portrayal of Yuna, accomplished pop andtelevision star, Ayaka Miyoshi sings and plays the shamisen, a
traditional Japanese stringed instrument. Director Yasuhiro Yoshidahas worked closely with the locals of Minamidaito to craft a sensitiveand poignant impression of a young girl on the cusp of adulthood,torn between the alternately attractive and conflicting natures of
tradition and progress.
Also starring Shinobu Ohtake, Rena Tanaka and Kaoru
Kobayashi.

GEKIDANSHINKANSEN
presents
SEVEN SOULS IN SKULL CASTLE“Bullet Train Theatre” brings a mix of kabuki, rock, modern theaterand big stars to the stage, the screen and the JCCC for it Canadian
Premiere!
A new and exciting development in the world of contemporary
Japanese drama is the emergence of new genres that incorporate
elements of kabuki. At the forefront of this trend is Gekidan
Shinkansen, one of Japan's most popular contemporary theatercompanies. Shinkansen founder and director Inoue Hidenori,
who calls his style "Inoue Kabuki," has teamed with Kabuki actor
Ichikawa Somegoroto to stage a string of hits over the past decade.
Grounded in the methods of contemporary theater but incorporating
kabuki techniques throughout, these shows pack a real punchwith their flamboyant action and rock-concert–like sound. They
are products of a dynamic new theatrical movement inspired bytraditional kabuki that has captured the attention of theater watchersin Japan and elsewhere.
One of the ways this trend has picked up momentum isthrough Geki × Cine. Geki × Cine are filmed versions of live
Gekidan Shinkansen performances that have become a sensation
on Japanese screens: a wondrous concoction of kabuki, traditional
stories, punkishly sentimental Japanese theater and Hollywood
cinema logistics rolled into one giant mind-blowing extravaganza.
On September 25, the JCCC, in cooperation with the JapanFoundation Toronto, will present Gekidan Shinkansen’s SEVENSOULS IN SKULL CASTLE in all its three hours of cinematic glory
in the Kobayashi Hall.
Date: Thursday Sept 25, 2014

6Another Successful Nostalgia Night Celebration
On July 6, 2014 more than 275 guests and volunteers gathered together for the 11th annual Nostalgia Night Celebration honouring five of thelongest standing Japanese Cultural Arts groups who have served our Japanese Canadian Community and the Japanese Canadian Cultural
Centre.
The five honourees, Bunka Shishu, Ikenobo Ikebana Society of Toronto, Sogetsu Ikebana Toronto East Branch, Shodo - JapaneseCalligraphy, and Sumi-e, more than exemplify the spirit of the Heritage Pioneer Award. This award has been given annually to those whose
work has contributed towards the cultural and social development and well-being of our community over the years. Each of these group’s
classes have brought many people from within and beyond our community together in the pursuit of these specialized arts. They havehelped raise the understanding and appreciation of these arts, developed the skills of many students, and helped to develop friendships andconnections that have added to the strength of our community. We are also most fortunate that they host annual exhibits featuring juried workwith some of the groups bringing in work from across the country.
Guests had an opportunity to view displays of each of these groups, talking with the instructors and students, and finding out information
about their classes. They observed volunteers from the Heritage Committee’s Archiving team in action as they assessed, catalogued, andcoded information about artefacts and photos that have been collected through donations over the years. And they had time to just catch up
with family and friends!!
And of course, there was the delicious Japanese Canadian food!! Ah yes, where else can you enjoy the home-cooking that reminds youof family meals and gatherings where the specialty dishes were served. So many tasty dishes prepared by a wonderful group of volunteers
who worked for two days preparing and cooking the meal. It is only at gatherings like this where you have the opportunity to have such awide assortment of truly Japanese Canadian food and then reminisce about the Japanese brown noodle chow mein sandwiches our mom’s
packed for our lunch the next day!!
Yes, Nostalgia Night 2014 was a great celebration and we look forward to our next one in 2015!! We hope you will circle the date on yourcalendars as soon as it is announced and join us as we continue to celebrate and honour members of our Japanese Canadian community.

Summer 2014 Updates
Heritage Corner

On June 4, 2014, the JCCC
celebrated the official dedication of the new Moriyama Nikkei
Heritage Centre (MNHC). Along with outgoing Consul Generalof Japan Eiji Yamamoto, our naming sponsors Raymond andSachi Moriyama, and JCCC President Gary Kawaguchi, staff
and volunteers from the JCCC Archives and Sedai were able topresent guests with a glimpse into the JCCC Collection, comprisingof approximately 15,000 unique items the JCCC Archives team ofvolunteers manages, as well as a peek at the over 500+ hours offootage which Sedai has documented, through the 2010 and 2013
recorded conferences and regular interviews.
More recently, Sedai has been assisting Archives volunteers
with the cataloguing of items generously donated to the Centre’s
collection by Sedai interviewees, in an effort to fully flesh theirstories with a multi-dimensional, multimedia experience. We hopethat the hundreds of photos, documents, and mementos of their
youth will continue to fill visitors to the MNHC with wonder andinspiration.
Recently, Sedai was happy to conduct a short heritage themed
programme as part of Kamp Kodomo. Campers as young as 6
years old had the chance to learn about the injustice and difficultyof evacuation and relocation in the MNHC. Sedai continues to workwith JCCC senior volunteers and former interviewees in building a
resource of voices, to assist as first-hand account docents for the
new exhibit space.
If you are interested in assisting the JCCC with our everevolving program of educational activities, we invite you to contact
us. As always, Sedai searches for first-hand accounts of the difficult
years of removal, internment, and post-war rebuilding as we build
our video archives. If you or a loved one has stories which you
feel should be recorded and preserved, please contact Elizabeth
Fujita, Sedai Project Coordinator, at elizabeth.fujita@jccc.on.ca or
416-441-2345 ext 303.

The Japanese Canadian Community Picnic made its official return
to Caledon Place this past July 1, marking the 37th annual Canada
Day tradition.
Despitescatteredthundershowers elsewhere in
the GTA, Caledon Place enjoyedsunny skies all day long. Thoughattendance was down fromprevious years, picnic enthusiasts
arrived throughout the morning
toting coolers full of onigiri, somenand other JC favourites.
We heard the fish were

Derby Winner, Seiji Ogihara, witha 6.5” fish. He was so excited to collect his prize; he waited aroundthe announcer’s booth all afternoon. We would also like to extend
our congratulations to the Share the Wealth draw winners, Christine
Takasaki, Rick Tazumi, Megan Marubashi and Kimiye Nishino.
After lunch you could hear the shouts of laughter and excitementfrom the main playing field during the games and races. The geta
race proved, yet again, that solid teamwork is the main ingredientfor success.
Speaking of teamwork, a special thanks goes out to the entire
JCCP Committee for all of their hard work. The picnic committee
met monthly throughout the winter and spring making plans for thepicnic, and these dedicated volunteers spent many weekends up at
Caledon Place cleaning, cutting the grass and clearing debris. Most
notably, thank you to Ted and Bob Kawano for refurbishing manyof the aging picnic tables and Dick Kumamoto for distributing themaround the property.
We also can’t forget to thank all of the supporters who continue
to come out every year to celebrate Canada Day with us. We
appreciate everyone’s efforts in cleaning up their areas before
heading home and were very pleased to see that there was virtuallyno garbage left behind.
Caledon Place has been a fixture in our community for many
years, and we hope to continue enjoying this beautiful property inthe years to come. On behalf of the entire JCCP Committee, wewould like to wish you all a wonderful summer!

Haiku Corner
Congratulations to Timothy Takasaki and Leo Park! Both boys,
who are 6 years old, learned about haiku at Kamp Kodomo during
the March school break via Mrs. Kimiko Horne. Each Kamp
Kodomo attendee completed a haiku and added an illustration.
These creative works were then submitted to The World Children’s
Haiku Contest sponsored by The JAL Foundation in partnershipwith Haiku Canada. Timothy and Leo were JAL Prize winners(second place), which is an amazing feat considering that they only
awarded a total of 38 prizes in the Canadian category. We hopethat you will enjoy reading their work.
