May Movie: Gate of Hell (Jigokumon)Awarding-winning Classic of Japanese Cinema returns to the
Big Screen at the JCCC
“It is hard to convey in simple language the moving qualities of thislovely film, which, among other things, was the winner of the grandprize at the Cannes film festival”
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Gate of Hell (Jigokumon) is Teinosuke
Kinugasa's 1953 masterpiece which has long
been unavailable to Western audiences andthe first Japanese colour film to be released
outside Japan. It won the Palme d'Or grandprize award at the 1954 Cannes Film Festival,
a 1955 Academy Honorary Award for "BestForeign Language Film” along with the
Academy Award for Best Costume Design,and the 1954 New York Film Critics Circle
Award for "Best Foreign Language Film". It also won the Golden
Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival.
Set in 12th-century feudal Japan, the film stars Kazuo
Hasegawa as Moritoh, a samurai whose courage in defending
his ruler is to be rewarded with anything he desires. But, what
he desires is the beautiful, aristocratic Lady Kesa Machiko Kyo
who happens to be already married to another samurai, Wataru(Isao Yamagata). Moritoh attempts to persuade Kesa to leave herhusband but her devotion is unshakeable.
We will be screening a newly remastered and digitized versionof the film that really has to be seen to be believed.

Roots of Japanese Traditions Come Alive in Toronto
From Kabuki to Noh theatre, celebrated forms of Japanese performing arts owe much of their
existence to folk traditions that trace their roots to religious rituals and festivals. On May 11, 2013,
Torontonians will be treated to a rare collaboration between Akira Katogi, an artist from Japan who
has kept such ancient traditions alive, and this city’s own premier taiko drumming troupe, Nagata
Shachu.
Katogi is an internationally celebrated performer of Japanese folk dance, song, taiko andtraditional theatre. He has developed his career since childhood, and has trained and performed
with Japan’s most respected folk and dance companies. Visually rich and featuring stunning
traditional dress, his performances have been the subject of critical acclaim in the US, Japan aswell as Central and Eastern Europe.
He will be accompanied by his son Raiya on his visit to Toronto, where this father-and-son duo will collaborate with Nagata Shachu, led
by Kiyoshi Nagata who apprenticed with the legendary Kodo before forging one of North America’s most accomplishedtaiko groups in his
Canadian hometown. Enthralling audiences with the dynamic sounds of traditional drums and other instruments, Nagata Shachu has toured
throughout Canada, the US and Italy performing in theatres, concert halls and major music festivals.
Come witness this remarkable performance, co-produced with the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, which brings together exceptional
talent to showcase the foundation of Japanese performing arts – the country’s ancient folk traditions.

Many people from Japan have experienced making Tanabatadecorations at least once (at school, for example). Why not bringback those memories while creating Tanabata decorations again?
The beautiful decorations made will be used at the Summer
Festival, where we are certain everyone will enjoy them.

talented craft-savvy volunteers will be there to help you out! All
the decorations will use origami paper and are easy to make, evenfor young children.

Ken Fukushima Exhibit @ JCCC Gallery
Architect, artist, black belt judo sensei and JCCC Board
Member, Ken Fukushima is a remarkable person.
A graduate of the esteemed Cranbrook Academyof Art outside Detroit and mentored by world stararchitect Daniel Libeskind, Fukushima had designed
multiple building projects including the Art Gallery ofWindsor, the Fredericton Convention Centre and theActors Conservatory for the Canadian Film Centre.
Most recently his architectural projects include anumber of public library facilities and youth resource
centres. His accomplishments, modesty and multiple
contributions to the community sometimes overshadow
his art projects.
Overshadowed no longer, on May 2 at 7:00pm, the JCCC Gallery will unveil a one person exhibition focusing on the art of Ken Fukushima.
Besides his bold Japanese-landscape inspired drawings that have shown in Canada and the United States, Fukushima is launching new workthat expresses his outlook on life in a series of art boxes. Inspired by the writing of novelist Kobo Abe who wrote, “Instead of leaving the box,
I shall enclose the world within it. Now the world must have closed its eyes.” Fukushima has been continuing his exploration of “near and far”
in a series of mixed media constructions that will line a wall of the gallery.
Fukushima’s exhibition is a powerful reflection of a sansei artist who thinks, philosophises and does. With the clean lines of a crisp
kimono, his work reminds us to lead a life with perspective, determination and memory.
“Near and Far” the Art of Ken Fukushima runs from May 2 to June 29, 2013 at the JCCC Gallery. The opening is May 2 at 7:00pm andthe artist will be present. All are welcome.
The JCCC gratefully acknowledges financial support from the NAJC Endowment Fund for this project.

The Japanese Canadian Post War Experience Conference – April 6 – 7, 2013by Lorene Nagata

All talking ceased as the words began to scroll across the screen in Kobayashi Hall. These were
testimonials of sansei and yonsei expressing to the elders of the Japanese Canadian community
how much it meant to hear their stories of the post war years. The silence continued for several
minutes as testimonial after testimonial appeared on the screen. Welcome to the JCCC Japanese
Canadian Post War Experience Conference which took place on April 6 & 7, 2013. On that day,70 individuals, both pre and post war Japanese Canadians, generously shared their memories
and stories of the post war years (1945 – 1967) while people from all generations (and from as far
away as Montreal and Winnipeg), listened. By telling their stories, on camera, they were helping
to preserve the history of the Japanese Canadians. Their stories told of the train rides out of theinternment camps, the search for their first jobs, first accommodations and first arrival in Canada(for the post war Japanese Canadians). They spoke of the prejudice they experienced as well as
the assistance and kindness from others. And they spoke of re-establishing their personal lives andthe Japanese community.
But as we listened to the stories, we realized that we weren’t just collecting our history. We
were also gaining a better understanding of where we came from and why were are the way weare, both as individuals and a community. Our chests began to puff out and our pride grew as weheard story after story of hard work, determination and success overcoming difficult and sometimes
painful circumstances. We, as listeners, realized that the Issei, Nisei and post war Japanese have
set the foundation upon which our community has been built. The testimonials written by Sansei
and Yonsei express how grateful we are for the stories that these 70 individuals gave to us and ourcommunity. Thank you Storytellers.
These are some of the testimonials (a film clip of testimonials can be found on the Sedai website at www.sedai.ca).
"Thank you for sharing your story and helping us become who we are today." Dereck (Yonsei)"As a Yonsei, I have always thought of my generation as being connected to the Japanese Canadian community like branches on atree. The elder generations, the roots and trunk, nourish the branches by sharing the verbal history of our community. These stories are thelifeblood of the tree, connecting the roots to the branches, and allowing the younger generations to reach into the canopy." Mike (Yonsei)"What truly defines us is our parents’ or grandparents’ resilience during the war and post-war years. We know that to be Japanese
Canadian is to be part of a community that rebuilt in difficult times and never lost its pride, compassion or humility. We know that to be
Japanese Canadian is not merely an ethnicity that we rhyme off in our descriptions of ourselves, but rather an identity of which we are proud.
Thank you for sharing your stories with us. They remind us of what makes being a Japanese Canadian so special, and will continue to inspire
generations to come." Sarah (Yonsei)"Listening to the "stories" of their past experiences and hardships was mind boggling, though very difficult for some to express. Whilemost were reluctant and almost embarrassed, a tad ashamed at first, they opened up and started to remember their memorable "younger
years".......The more I listened; the more I wanted to learn. How my grandparents took care of their children and instilled the "hard work"
attitude. Positive and focused. Use what you have. Am extremely proud of my Japanese heritage and will always ask, seek and continue tocarry the wonderful legacy." Al (Yonsei)"As a Yonsei, I am proud of my cultural roots and I owe this to you and the Issei who persevered before me. Your recorded stories will
preserve our community’s rich history to share with the future generations." Lisa (Yonsei)"The immeasurable value, meaning, and historical place that the personal contributions made by each Storyteller in 2010, and again thisyear in 2013, cannot be stressed enough. I spent four years studying my heritage in university, and in all sincerity, none of it can compare toincredible honour and privilege I feel in being able to hear about your experiences, directly from yourselves and those close to you."														Elizabeth (Sansei)

Fifth Kyudo Introductory Course to begin in September
by Seikyu Kai

Kyudo is the Japanese martial art of archery, historically associated with the Samurai. Modern Kyudo is often described as “standing
meditation” and focuses on attaining proper technique and attitude rather than hitting the target. This teaches the practitioner to react calmly

prior experience must complete the Introductory Course to be accepted in the regular kyudo program. Students with prior experience shouldinquire with the JCCC.

By the time the course finishes, students will have acquired the basic skill and knowledge required to join the regular class and continue
on to the next level.

Friends of Mike Golf Tournament and
Dinner - Sunday May 26, 2013by Friends of Mike Commitee

The date is fast approaching and the committee is busy preparing
for a great event! Sunday May 26, 2013 is the day that we will behosting the 6th Annual Golf Tournament and Dinner. A great day ofgolf at Bushwood Golf Club and a delectable buffet dinner at the
JCCC is on the schedule and we hope that many of you will joinus.
Michael Shin passed away in 2011 from Frontotemporal
Degeneration (FTD) at the age of 52. No treatment has beenshown to slow the progression of FTD. Behaviour modification may
help control unacceptable or dangerous behaviours. Aggressive,
agitated, or dangerous behaviours could require medication. Antidepressants have been shown to improve some symptoms.
The outcome for people with FTD is poor. The diseaseprogresses steadily and often rapidly, ranging from less than 2 years
in some individuals to more than 10 years in others. Eventuallysome individuals with FTD will need 24-hour care and monitoring at
home or in an institutionalized care setting as Michael was for thelast 3 years of his life.
From 2003 when Michael first exhibited signs of FTD to current
day, the Shin family has been incredibly fortunate to have the support
from many family and friends. Throughout the past 10 years, they
have gained so much from the kindness and generosity of others
and they are very thankful for the continuation of this event. June,
Thomas, Jaclyn and Erica are especially excited to bring the golf
tournament portion back as this was Michael’s favourite passtime.
New to the tournament this year, Adele Read from ARC Insuranceand Financial Services Inc. will be generously sponsoring a “hole inone” cash prize!
Please join us on Sunday May 26 for an awesome day of golf
and dinner to support the future needs of the Shin children, and
FTD research.
More details, on line registration and sponsorship opportunities
are available online. Please see the flyer insert or visit www.

the first and only president of the Society as she continues to leadthe group with grace and a strong dedication to the traditions andteachings of Ikenobo.

pavilion for a few games with cash prizes, or perhaps participate in
the games, races and relays on the playing field after lunch.
The recent addition of afternoon entertainment has proved to
be a family favourite as well, so we will be hosting an afternoon
performance again this year. Sit down and enjoy the show with anice cold kakigori (shaved ice) from the NJCA booth, or if you run out
of food pick up a snack from the Ohana Hula snack bar.
Title sponsor DundeeWealth and Marty Kobayashi will bepicking up the park fee and picnic fee, making it FREE for everyone.
He will also have a gift for the first 100 cars, so come early andmake a day of it. The picnic is open to everyone in the community.
Why not talk to your relatives, family and friends, and plan to meetup at Caledon Place and make it a family affair?
Caledon Place is on the west side of Highway 10, 2 km northof Caledon Village at Hwy 24, and about 6 km south of Orangeville(Hwy 9). Look for the Picnic signs and banner, and we hope to see

In
remembrance of this tragedy, Kick it for Japan 3 was held to collectmessages of well-wishes and financial support in hopes of putting asmile on the faces of those who have been affected by the disaster,
as well as to assist redevelopment in the Tohoku community.
With the help of all the JFT members and volunteer staff, theevent was a great success. As with every year, the bazaar was filledwith customers. The large variety of booths ranging from Japanesedelicacies and desserts to beautiful arts and craft attracted
everyone’s interest. In total, approximately 1,200 individuals
attended the event. Many booths were surrounded by long line-ups
and some even sold out before the end of the bazaar. The charity
bazaar was definitely a big hit.
Overall, the charity event raised a total amount of $7,246,
98. All the funds raised will be sent to the Tohoku Japan Soccer
Association. They will take the initiative to redevelop the sports
and recreational park, giving back to the community a safe andengaging environment to play in. With everyone’s help, the event
turned out to be a great success. Messages of support and funds
raised in Toronto will all be sent to Tohoku.
On a final note, JFT would like to express our deepest gratitude
to those who came out to support the event and those who helped
organize the event. JFT will continue this event in remembrance ofwhat happened in Tohoku. Thank you again for all your support andwe hope to see you back next year.
