A Summer of Celebration
The year 2013 marks the 50th
Anniversary of the Japanese
Canadian Cultural Centre. With ahistory that now extends over five
decades of hard work, volunteer
contribution, community building,resiliency, and most of all themotto of ‘Friendship through Culture’, the Centre has much to
be proud of – including the work of the Sedai Project. Interviews
began as early as 2004 through the efforts of several volunteers
and the leadership of the Sedai Project founder, Connie Sugiyama.
Five years have now passed since the formal founding of the Sedai
Project at the Centre (2008), and we graciously join the JCCC in asimilar voice of thanks and recognition, celebrating the efforts of all
our volunteers, interviewees, contributors, and friends.
As well, Sedai wishes to thank our newest additions to theinterviewee database – Taketo Murata, and Takehiko (“Tak”)
Yoshida. We hope to continue building upon the stories andnarratives of the community through the beauty of varied experience.
Also, we continue to invite and reach out to our Storytellers fromthe Japanese Canadian Post War Experience Conference, inwelcoming the opportunity to assist with providing a more in depth
record of their experiences. If you have not yet completed aninterview with the Sedai Project, please contact Elizabeth Fujita,
Sedai Project Coordinator, at elizabeth.fujita@jccc.on.ca or 416
441 2345 ext 303, so that your memories can be preserved!
Our website, www.Sedai.ca, will also be seeing some minorchanges in the coming weeks, ahead of the opening of the newMoriyama Nikkei Heritage Centre. We invite you to visit the website
and provide feedback – whether in the way of an email (info@
sedai.ca), or in the comments section of the video archives – as we
continue to make information accessible. As always, for up to theminute information, please follow us on Twitter (@JCCCSedai). As
well, we continue to invite anyone with digital media production anddesign skills to get involved with some of these efforts – what betterway to feel invested in your community’s history!

The JCCC Bazaar 2013

A triumph of generosity, volunteerism and community spirit
May 4th was an exceptionally warm day. At 22 degrees celcius it was theperfect setting for the JCCC’s Annual Bazaar. The line of waiting shoppers
snaked all the way down to the street and beyond. To help bide the time and to
avoid the line ups once the doors opened, there were pre sales on the dining
room tickets and our commemorative 50th Anniversary environmental bags.
Once the doors opened, the shoppers poured into the building. Whether
they were looking for great items at the silent auction or a box of sushi or abento, few shoppers were disappointed. For some, a trip to the car to unload
their many purchases was standard operating procedure.
Without the tremendous commitment and cooperation of many community
members and organizations, this Bazaar would be an impossible eventto coordinate. We would like to offer our sincere thanks to the organizing
committee, the wonderful volunteers and the community for making this year’s
bazaar a huge succes! Photos courtesy of Jamie Papanastasiou.

9Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre Honours Seiji Ozawa with Prestigious SakuraAward at the Sakura Gala
At the Fifth Annual Sakura Gala on April 20, 2013, the Japanese
Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) honoured Japanese conductor
Seiji Ozawa with the Sakura Award. While Mr. Ozawa has received
awards and honours for his work all over the world, he has not yet
been recognized in Canada until the Sakura Gala.
The Sakura Award recognizes for the first time Mr. Ozawa’s
achievements as Music Director of the Toronto SymphonyOrchestra (TSO) from 1965-1969. Almost 50 years following Mr.
Ozawa’s tenure at the TSO and subsequent international acclaim,
Toronto is honouring his shining legacy. Mr. Ozawa considers
himself grateful to the TSO, the people of Toronto and former TSO
Managing Director Walter Homburger for giving him his first majororchestra to conduct and mould into his own.
In recent years Mr. Ozawa has experienced major setbacks
in his efforts to continue conducting due to his ill health fromesophageal cancer. While his health is recovering, he is not yet atthe point where he is able to travel and could not travel to Toronto
to accept the Sakura Award in person. Seiji Ozawa, in a recorded
acceptance speech played at the Sakura Gala, reminisced about
the TSO saying, “It was a big, big challenge, but for me it was awonderful memory. My music life really started there.”
Mr. Ozawa’s reminiscing may soon turn into an actual trip
down memory lane. He hopes to return to Toronto in the future andmake his dream of a final performance with the TSO a reality, once
he gets his strength back. His daughter, Seira Ozawa, attended
the Sakura Gala on her father’s behalf. Ms. Ozawa spoke at thegala, conveying her father’s appreciation saying, “He is so very
grateful and honoured to be given such a prestigious award [byhis community].”

7 Boxes of Ken Fukushima
by John Ota

Architect, artist, black belt judo sensei and JCCC Board Member,
Ken Fukushima uses art boxes to describe the varied aspects of
his life.
Box: Architect.
A graduate of the Cranbrook Academy who studied under stararchitect Daniel Libeskind, Fukushima has designed prestigious
projects including the Art Gallery of Windsor, the Fredericton
Convention Centre and designs for the Canadian Film Centre. His
25 year architectural career, modesty and multiple contributions tothe community sometimes overshadow his art projects.
A prominent client of his practice is the Ministry of the Attorney
General where he is highly respected by courthouse users for his
design smarts. Fukushima listens to the needs of the client to getto the best possible solution for them.
“He is a fantastic architect and his work is greatly valued by
the entire justice system,” says Sue Patterson, a Director in the
Ministry. “When Ken presents his ideas, the judges look to him for
guidance and coming up with out of the box solutions.”
Box: Artist.
The inspiration for the exhibition is the writing of Japanese novelist
Kobo Abe who wrote, “Instead of leaving the box, I shall enclose theworld within it. Now the world must have closed its eyes”.
While the exhibition is titled “Near and Far”, Fukushima coins“Unfinished Business” as a subtitle.  With all his works, Fukushima’s
canvasses and boxes can be placed vertically, horizontally orindividually to fit together like a puzzle.  His theory of architecture andart is that a person never sees the whole picture in architecture.
“People might see a building from one view or they might see
one element, but you never see the whole thing’” says Fukushima.
“You only see things in pieces.  You have to come back and reflect.  
The boxes are like my house.   I never ‘finish’ the whole thing.   I
keep on working on the pieces and come back to them again andagain.”
Box: Business.
While Fukushima is grateful to craft architectural designs andcontribute to people’s lives, he has a realistic perspective about thebusiness of the profession.
“Fundamentally the business of architecture is kind of stupid,”says the artist architect. “Because as architects, we work really hardto put ourselves out of business: We work closely with our clients tocome up with a creative way to enable their businesses to flourish.  
When our work is done, the clients move forward benefiting fromour effort, but  we have to go find more work. ”
Box: Judo.
Black belt judo instructor at the JCCC, Fukushima has studied themartial art since he was 9 years old. Fukushima’s commitment is
big as he spends three nights a week at the JCCC teaching judo as
well as coaching at matches across Canada.
“One thing I appreciate about judo is that you can go to any
country in the world and practice judo and be welcomed,” says
Sensei Fukushima. “At the JCCC we are able to meet people fromall over the world and all walks of life through judo. We all canengage with and learn from each other.”
Sensei Fukushima says now his favorite judo move is seeing
the students – whether young, old, beginner or competitor – when
they “catch on to something” I’m really happy to have students whoare better at judo than I am.”Box: Japan.
To learn more about his culture and himself, in the late 1980’s,
Fukushima packed his bags to study at the Kodokan Judo Institutein Tokyo where he practiced judo, waited on tables and lived in atiny apartment for a year and a half.
His initial impressions of Tokyo were overwhelming. “For a kid
from Toronto, Tokyo was like being on another planet,” he remarks.
“The organized bustle and sensory overload… But it was also was
the first time when I’ve felt illiterate.  At first I felt I was an outsider
who looked like an insider – a visitor in a Japanese costume.”
Nevertheless, Fukushima affirms that all Sansei should visit
Japan. “It’s become a lost part of our ancestry,” he says. “Most of
the Issei are gone and the Nisei, too. It’s a shared history that has
become distant.”
Box: Home.
A positive outcome from the Japan experience was that it waswhere Fukushima met his wife, Kazumi. Now married for 25 years
with a son in university, Kazumi and Ken met through mutual friends
at a gathering place for ex-pats in Tokyo. He describes the episodeas: “Japanese Canadian Architect from Rexdale meets JapaneseBrazilian Lawyer from the Amazon in an English Pub in Tokyo.”
Both Fukushima’s parents still live in the family house in
Rexdale and while their experience of being interned during WW2
was almost never discussed, he credits them with being supportiveof all his architecture and judo studies while growing up. “Myparents both lost a parent when young. I never had the chance
to know my grandparents, so I’m really grateful that my son knows
and appreciates his grandparents and that my folks have such joy
in their grandchildren and now even great-grandchildren.”
Box: Values.
Honesty and respect are two values that are at the core of Fukushima.
It is not surprising then that much of his architectural practice isconnected with libraries and youth organizations. “A community
without a library or a vibrant youth centre, to constructively engage
with each other, is a community with a stark future,” he says.
Fukushima makes a poignant comparison of his life comparedto the lives of his parents who were interned. “The problems I
may have with my computer, or traffic are pretty trivial comparedto the rest of the world,” he says. “We live and work with people
who’ve witnessed genocide, experienced war and been shot at.
The question is: how can we avoid wasting the luxury that we findourselves in?”Constantly shifting, turning and reshuffling, the boxes ofFukushima move in multiple combinations that fit together andcompliment each other. Very much like Fukushima himself, theexterior appearance of the boxes are clean, natural and contained,
but once the doors are opened, the interiors pop with a rich life ofart, memory and significant influence on others.   
“Near and Far” the Art of Ken Fukushima is currently running until
June 29, 2013 at the JCCC Gallery.
The JCCC gratefully acknowledges financial support from the
NAJC Endowment Fund for this project.

George Nakashima Exhibit
by Gallery Mjölk

George Nakashima is perhaps the most important figure
in contemporary North American furniture crafts. In 1983
Nakashima received the Third Order of the Sacred Treasure fromthe Emperor and Government of Japan, and was later marked asa “Living treasure” in the United States. Beyond his many awards
from the AIA and other prestigious institutions, he left his mark on
an entire society. You can clearly see his influence in any piece ofcontemporary live-edge styled furniture, but most importantly ofall, he made woodworking an honest and respected profession.
George Nakashima evokes the soul of each tree used in his
furniture: he sees the potential of the rich form and grain in raw
timber and breathes new life into dead wood. Nakashima works
within the confines of the natural slab of solid wood, leaving thelive edges natural and free. The knots and inconsistencies areleft, and only necessary mending is made using his now iconicrosewood butterfly joints. It is this respect and honor of naturalforms, which propelled his furniture to a work of art. Each pieceof wood is individual and different from the next so each piece offurniture therefore had to be a unique piece unto itself.
George Nakashima was born in Spokane, Washington, in 1905, attended the University of Washington in Forestry and Architecture, andreceived both scholarship and prize from the École des Beaux Arts in Fontainebleau, France in 1929, and a Master’s degree in Architecture
in 1930 from MIT.
After working during the Great Depression in the United States, he spent some time in France, travelled to Tokyo and got a job in thearchitectural firm of Antonin Raymond, which sent him to oversee the first reinforced concrete building in India for the Ashram of Sri Aurobindo
in Pondicherry. After becoming one of the first disciples of Sri Aurobindo in 1938, he reluctantly returned to the United States by way of Tokyo,
where he met his future wife, Marion Okajima, whom he married in Los Angeles in 1941.
When the war broke they were sent to the concentration camps in Minidoka, Idaho in 1942 with their infant daughter, Mira. Through thesponsorship of Antonin Raymond, Nakashima came to work on his farm in Bucks County, subsequently rented a small house on Aquetong
Road and then purchased a parcel of land where he designed and built his workshop and house. He continued to build his legacy ofarchitecture and furniture until his death in 1990.
Although the Nakashima studio has exhibited 10 times in Japan, twice in Korea, and many places in the United States including theWing Luke Museum in Seattle last year, and once at the Moderne Gallery in Philadelphia this coming September, this is the very first time
Nakashima has ever had a show in Canada. Japanese and Scandinavian interiors shop and gallery Mjölk will be hosting the exhibition.
showcasing a large collection of iconic works by George Nakashima as well as new works from his daughter Mira Nakashima’s Keisho(continuation) collection. Mira Nakashima, along with her daughter Maria, and granddaughter Maya will be special guests in attendance.
The Nakashima furniture collection will be complemented by a curated collection of art by some of Japan’s most famous contemporary
artisans. This group of artists include potters Masanobu Ando and Koichi Uchida, wood artisans Ryuji Mitani and Shinji Tsukuda, and metal
artists Takejiro and Mami Hasegawa.
The group of artisans will provide a living context to the Nakashima collection and offer visitors an exclusive opportunity to see andpurchase works by artists who seldom show work outside of their native Japan.
Exhibition runs July 24 to August 19, 2013.
