2 Special Japan Earthquake Relief Benefit Screenings in August!
TIME TRAVELLER- The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Mention ‘The Girl Who Leapt Through Time’ to someone, and their minds
will likely jump to Mamoru Hosoda’s wonderful anime film. After the huge
success of Hosoda’s anime, Time Traveller: The Girl Who Leapt ThroughTime presents the tale as a live-action version of the time-hopping romantic
drama.
When her scientist mother is hospitalised in a car accident, schoolgirl
Akari (Riisa Naka) learns of her experiments in time travel and a potion thatwill enable a person to jump to a time of their choosing. From her hospitalbed, her mother asks Akari to deliver an urgent message to a boy she knew
in 1972. When Akari mixes up the time potion process and arrives two
years too late, she is forced to live in 1974 with student filmmaker Ryota(Akinobu Nakao) as she figures out how to deliver a message to a guy who
appears to have never existed.
It’s an effective love story made all the more touching by its leads; Riisa Naka (makes for an endearingly adorable heroine, while Akinobu
Nakao plays Ryota with an appropriately awkward shyness. The two of them prove adept at bringing quiet, expressive emotion to a romance
that’s largely predicated on small, tender unspoken moments and chemistry.
Time Traveller is a sweet, touching love story that’s occasionally heartbreakingly poignant and a beautiful little romantic drama and awonderful companion piece to Mamoru Hosoda’s animated movie.
Directed by Masaaki Taniguchi and starring Riisa Naka, Akinobu Nakao, Narumi Yasuda and Masanobu Katsumura. Recommended forchildren 12 and older. All proceeds go to the Japan Earthquake relief through Just Giving Japan (www.justgiving.jp).

13 ASSASSINS

Nominated for Japanese Academy Award Best Film 2010 and Winner of 4 Japanese Academy Awards“Assassins transforms from vivid samurai drama to insane work of genius” - Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
“Does Guinness World Records have an entry for longest on-screen fight? If it doesn't, Takashi Miike's "13 Assassins" just set it. And if arecord actually exists, Miike's film just broke it.” - Sean O’Connell, Washington News
Epic, unforgettable, relentless, magnificently entertaining, Takashi Miike’s
2010 masterpiece 13 Assassins has received rave reviews around the globe
and was a favourite at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
It is the end of Japan's feudal era. A group of unemployed samurai areenlisted to bring down a sadistic lord and prevent him from ascending to thethrone and plunging the country into a war torn future. Lord Naritsugu is asadistic and terrifying ruler, a man who goes to great lengths to bring fearto the people and so romanticized with the ways of war and death that his
leadership is questioned. His reckless behavior is seen as too high risk for thenation should he ascend to an higher position, therefore respected samurai
Shinzaemon is secretly called on to gather a team of samurai to assassin him.
This small army of 13 assassins must do battle with hundreds of soldiers sent toprotect the evil lord. What follows are some of the most epic battle sequences
and incredible fight scenes in the history of cinema, as the Assassins set a trap
for their enemy and go for the kill in their makeshift "Village of Death!"
Starring Kôji Yakusho, Takayuki Yamada, Gorô Inagaki, Masachika Ichimura and Mikijiro Hira. All proceeds go to the JCCC Foundation
Japan Earthquake Relief Fund.

Anna is a plain clay doll, with no fancy clothes or pretty hair-dos.
She is laughed at by other dolls for her simplicity. But Mu-Mu sees
beyond her appearance and develops an unlikely friendship with
Anna. All is going well until one day, Mu-Mu and Anna are caught
between a fight between the old couple’s cat and their pet canary.

Hime Kimono Workshop

JCCC Board of Directors News

Join us for a one of a kind experience!
The JCCC is pleased to have Ms. Takako
Yoshino of the Kogire Arts Studio offer
a Hime Kimono workshop on Sunday
August 28, 2011.
The Kogire Arts Studio, basedin Nagoya, was founded to conserve
kimono from the late Edo period up to today. The members
research, collect and exhibit kimono to promote and preserve thistraditional art. They also spend time studying the designs of thekimono that they have collected. As a participant in this workshop
you will have the opportunity to recreate one of these kimono, inminiature.
This is a rare opportunity that you won’t want to miss! Class
size is limited to just 12 students, so early registration is extremely
important if you don’t want to miss out.

The JCCC held the Annual General Meeting on June 27th andapproved the financial statements that showed a loss due to an
emergency replacement of a new roof and lower than expected
donations. The board presented plans for new programmes,
fundraisng and leasing to achieve financial stability.
To push hard at leasing the remaining parts of the building theLeasing committee is making room for new tenants on the second
floor and construction is underway.
Preparations are also being made to renovate the Japan
Information Centre (JIC) space on the first floor now that thelease is coming to an end and the JCCC will be taking over the
space. While the leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures
are largely being left behind for use by the JCCC, we have a great
opportunity to create an educational resource area, library andhistorical displays in the former JIC space. Also, with the ending of
the JIC lease in January 2012, the JCCC offices will re-locate to thefirst floor creating more leasing opportunities from the 2nd floor.
To help with our building plans, we were able to obtain an
infrastructure grant from the Trillium Foundation, and will be able
to repair and add some space to our parking lot as well as otherinfrastructure projects.
As you can see, the JCCC Board of Directors is diligently
planning for the future. Our activities, programs and events continue
to grow and therefore the physical building is undergoing changes
that will support and provide the best facilities for our membershipand the community at large.
We are also please to announce a new Board of Directors
for the 2011-2012 term - with 2 new Directors nominated: Chris
Hope and Chris Reid plus the return of Ann Ashley, Art Ito, Junko
Mifune and Cary Rothbart. The rest of the Board consists of: Donna
Davis, Shari Hosaki, George Hewson, Gary Kawaguchi, Marty
Kobayashi, Sharon Marubashi, James Matsumoto, Lorene Nagata,
Yuki Nakamura, Russell Onizuka, Nao Seko and Peter Wakayama.
We are all looking forward to a great year!

A great big THANK YOU! to Sally
Kumagawa, Database Coordinator at the
JCCC.
While
the
extremely
generous
outpouring of support for the JCCC
Foundation Earthquake Relief Fundhas impacted the workload of all staff
members at the JCCC, Sally's always
busy desk has seen an unprecedented
volume of donations in the past few
months. With the help of a couple of key volunteers, Sally has
been working hard to process the over 3,000 additional donations
that we have received for the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund. What
does that mean? During the month of April alone, we received
nearly TEN times the regular number of donations for that period.
We are still receiving donations almost 5 months after the tragedy.
We would like to thank the volunteers from the community
groups who spent many hours computerizing their donor lists, thecompany who generously sent one of their staff members to workat the JCCC for several days, and our onsite data entry volunteers.
Your efforts have certainly made a difference.
To all of the donors who have been waiting for their income tax
receipts, thank you for being so very patient. The sheer volume
of donations (and mail strike) has backlogged the delivery of
your income tax receipts. We are working hard to process yourdonations as quickly as possible.

Coming this September: A Fools LifeIn September 2011, Ahuri Theatre
will team up with the Japanese
Canadian Cultural Centre topresent a new play entitled A
Fool’s Life. This original multidisciplinary theatre piece isbased on the life and short stories
of modern Japanese author
Ryunosuke Akutagawa, one of
the most celebrated modern
Japanese writers, and best known
as the author of Rashomon.
The play tells the story of Akutagawa’s feverish mental
deterioration in the last few days before he committed suicide in1927. While attending a wedding in Tokyo, Akutagawa receives
news of his brother-in-aw’s suicide. What follows is a feverish
mental break down caused by his struggles in balancing his artistic
passions with his obligations to his family. As he descends further
into his mania, the world of his writing intrudes on reality manifesting
itself with terrifying results.
This presentation uses aspects of Japanese forms of Noh(dance) and Butoh (mime), three different languages, shadow
puppetry and projections on a set made entirely of paper. It alsouses live music provided by Japanese Kagura drummer Gaishi
Ishizaka, and features Japanese actress Haruna Kondo. It wasdeveloped with the support of the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts
Council, Canada Council for the Arts (through the Japan Fund). An
earlier draft of the piece was presented at the Japan Foundation ofToronto. Please look for details in the next issue of the newsletter.

JCCC Origami Crane Project

The Sedai Project iscommitted to collecting,documenting, preserving
and sharing the history of
the Japanese Canadians.
We, the Sedai Committee,
collect and preserve
the Japanese Canadianhistory through audio
and video recordings in a relaxed interview format. We continue tosearch for all Japanese Canadians who were born in the pre-war
and war years to come and share their stories with us.
The Sedai Project is pleased to report that as of June 30, 2011,
102 individuals have assisted us in documenting and preserving
the Japanese Canadian history by sharing their stories with us in a
Sedai interview. We would like to extend our heartfelt thank you toMary Katsuno and Eleanor Maruno for allowing us to preserve theirunique stories. We would also like to thank Mary Ikeda and Marie
Ikeda for sharing the history of Sumi-e.
Here are a few more questions to help you continue to develop
and compose your story. When you were growing up, which
school(s) did you attend? Who were your teachers and classmates?
How many Japanese children were in your class? What was yourfavourite subject? Where did you go to school during World War II?
How was it different from before? Were you able to continue yourstudies during and after the war years?
We strive to collect and document countless stories because
every life experience is unique to each individual and every story isimportant to our cultural heritage. We would like to ask those whohave a story to please help us preserve the Japanese Canadianhistory for your family and our future generations. Anyone who
wishes to share their story or who wishes to learn more about
Sedai please contact Lisa Uyeda at 6 Garamond Court, Toronto,
ON, M3C 1Z5 or lisa.uyeda@jccc.on.ca or info@sedai.ca or bytelephone at 416-441-2345 ext 303. In the meantime you can alsofind more information about the project at www.sedai.ca.

With over 130 schools across Toronto and the GTA, the JCCC
Origami Crane Project totals an estimated 60,000 cranes andthousands of letters, pictures, photographs, and flags. The
volunteers have been an integral component to the success ofthe project; visiting schools all across the city and helping prepare
the cranes as Senbazuru (1000 strung cranes) for Japan. Our
volunteers have also begun assisting with the delivery of the cranes
and hope letters during their travels to Japan.
One volunteer, who delivered Senbazuru’s to Japan thissummer, reported: “The students were very surprised to learn thatthe children in a far away country, Canada, were concerned about
them. They were very happy and excited about knowing what themessages in English say.” – Koko Kikuchi, Iwate Kenjinkai
We welcome volunteers to join us in this project as there
is much preparation needed to complete and deliver the
Senbazuru. If you would like to volunteer for this project pleaseemail jcccorigamicrane@gmail.com or contact Lisa Uyeda at lisa.

Volunteers Wanted for JC History Project
Would you like to help preserve historic photos and other artifacts for the Japanese Canadian Cultural
Centre’s archives? Here are the details of the latest project of the Nikkei Heritage Resource Centre:
The goal is to preserve and identify artifacts pertaining to the Japanese- Canadian history sothey can be used for exhibitions, research, and as a community resource. The JCCC's collection has
been growing for years without any procedures and protocols in place until now.
A dedicated group led by Kathy Okawara and Theressa Takasaki, as part of the Heritage Committee,
has established an archival process to ensure the material is preserved and its information is easily
accessible for future generations. This involves detailed cataloguing of each item in the Centre’s
large collection.
Several volunteers have started working on this project—they include a variety of Issei, Ijusha,
Photo courtesy of Mika Fukuma.
Nisei, Sansei, and Yonsei; plus other Canadians who studied in Japan, and history buffs, etc.).
We welcome more helpers for this major undertaking— no experience or computer skills are required. We particularly can use help fromanyone who can identify places, events and people in our pre-war, war and immediate post-war photo collection.
Currently we are working on the largest category in the collection: photographs from way back when. A bonus to our efforts has been
discovering interesting facts about Japanese-Canadian history as well as identifying familiar faces and family connections.
So please come and enjoy the camaraderie of sharing stories and unique observations while examining and cataloguing the photographs.
To participate in this interesting project, contact Toshiko Yamashita, heritage@jccc.on.ca or 416-441-2345 ext. 227. No commitment of timeis required … just come out to an archive session whenever you are free.
(During the summer vacation or weekends, we encourage student participation which counts for high school volunteering credit. Computerand scanning assignments in addition to archival cataloguing are available.)6

Kyudo Demonstration at Ontario
Japanese Speech Contest
by Karen Suzuki

On March 12, the Seikyu
Kai had the opportunity
to demonstrate Kyudo(Japanese archery) tocontestants competing inthe 29th Annual Ontario
Japanese Speech Contest
held at the J.J.R. MacLeod
Auditorium at the Universityof Toronto.
From left: Chris Sora, Raymond Okamoto,Chris Sora, acting
Karen Suzuki, photo courtesy of NanikasMC,
enlightened theSutedjo.
audience on such topics as
the history of Kyudo and its particular history with the JCCC, theequipment, and the 8 steps (hassetsu) of Kyudo. Nanik Sutedjo,
Ray Okamoto and Karen Suzuki were on hand to demonstratetechniques and bring kyudo to life for the audience.
The audience enjoyed the question and answer period of thedemonstration very much. They were able to get up close andpersonal as the demonstrators took the equipment into the audience.
Two of the things that particularly interested the audience were thearrow and kake (glove). During the explanation of the equipment,
Chris explained that there is a notch on the thumb section of the
glove which is where the string goes and that there are two different
types of arrows where the feathers are put on differently. Unless
you have a chance to look at these features up close, you would
never be able to see them. These are some of the small details on
the equipment that the audience had a chance to see.
The overall demonstration was informative and very interactive.
Many people took an interest in Kyudo after being able to experiencesome of the aspects of this martial art.

About the Yamaha Keyboard ClassThis class had been establishedby Yamaha for seniors to promotea more active lifestyle andenjoy their music in a relaxing
atmosphere. It is now open to
adults of all ages. Even thoughmost of the students start with noexperience, many can eventually
perform simple improvisations through practice with this class.
We use textbooks edited by Yamaha and many compositions
arranged to suite the students’ level and interest.
The repertories are selected from all genres, including pops, simple
classics, American, European, Japanese and more.
There are the testimonials from the students.
•
It is indeed with great pleasure to have Junko be my keyboard
instructor as it certainly made my retirement that much interesting.
I wish to extend my deepest gratitude from your inspiring lectures tous this certainly help build our self confidence and positive thinking.
Please accept my extend gratitude and continue with your greatwork. (Jessica Chen)•
I was a total beginner when I stared a few years ago. I havenot been able to play complicated songs yet, but I am always
wondering what will be next song? Do I know it? Fast? Slow?
Easy? Difficult? Anyway, it is quite different from just listening tosomeone else playing, but in fact, I can now play songs with efforts
that make me feel a little proud and fun. That is the reasons why
I continue taking classes, and I am pleased to have such a patientand great teacher. (Seiko Merante)•
I never took a piano lesson when I was a child, but my dream
to play piano was always on my mind. Several years ago, at the
JCCC, Yamaha announced that it would open a class for people
who were over 65 years of age with no experience in playing piano.
I enrolled right away. This course is divided into several groups
according to the level of students’ skill. We use keyboards andbasic 4 text books to learn to play. The teacher gives us some
additional sheets to enjoy piano while learning to play.
We learn the basics, how to read notes, signs, time values,
scales etc. We find time to practice at home which is crucial
to improving. We are surprised with joy by playing Christmas
Carols, many others such as “Swan Lake”, “Hey Jude”, “Feelings”,“Serenade” by Schubert, “Vienna Woods” by Strauss etc.
Private lessons are available to anyone who will receive
intensive teaching. I’ve heard that playing piano would be helpful
to slowing aging by using our eyes, brain and of course fingers.
Playing piano has become an important part of my life. I’m glad I’ve
started. (Eiko Shibatani)

Room to determine the Annual JCCC Euchre Champion. The
group included new players, regulars and returning players. The
reputation of the event had the trash talk starting early with one ouryoungest players vowing to take down his elders. Unfortunately
for Kevin Kobayashi the cards would not cooperate. Many players
scored huge points in the eight hands of play per round, as theyattempted to come out on top.
After nine games of play, Stacey Takashima, one of our lastminute competitors and a first time JCCC tournament player, cameout ahead of everyone else with 69 points. Trailing behind by asingle point was Mike Koyata and just 2 points behind him wasMike Ogino. In fact the top eleven players were just 9 points apartand there were multiple players tied for the top seven positions.
The Banzai prize was awarded on a different basis this year. There
were three different ways that it could be awarded. The winner
would either have the most loners in the night, the last loner of thenight or it would be mystery draw from all the candidates. In theend, the most loners category was chosen by ballot and we hada tie between Mike Ogino and Harry Mizutani who each scored 4
loners.
To learn more about the other players and their final positions
and to be a part of all the fun, plan to be at next year’s Euchre
night!!!

An Evening of Aloha with The Makaha Sons
by Pam Pitz

It is with great pleasure to announce the return of The Makaha Sons
to Toronto again this fall. Arrangements were made with the JCCC
to once again use Kobayashi Hall for the performances which will
be on Friday September 30, 2011 and Saturday October 1, 2011at 7:30pm.
Prior to The Makaha Sons' Performances, entertainment will
include the Children's Ukelele Ensemble (part of the Children's
Ukelele Program lead by Melanie, Doane), performances by local
Halaus (Hula Dance Schools including the JCCC's Hula-for-Health),
and a few other entertaining surprises!
For 34 years, the Makaha Sons have committed themselvesto perpetuate traditional Hawaiian music throughout Hawai’i andthe world. They are a trio, consisting of members Louis "Moon"
Kauakahi on 6-string guitar, John Koko on upright acoustic bass
and Jerome Koko on 12-string guitar. They are recognized as one of
Hawai’i’s premiere Hawaiian musical groups, maintaining a vibrantsound, full and rich with harmonies that only they can create. Their
incomparable vocal arrangements and delightful stage presence
filled with comical antics have won the hearts of thousands of fansworldwide.
The Makaha Sons perform throughout Hawaii, the mainland of
United States and Japan. More recently they did shows in Mexico
and Canada. Their show also features the Hula stylings of Kealo
Koko Simpson, Kyoko Kauakahi and Shadow Koko. Net proceeds
will go to the Children's Ukelele Program in Toronto which is lead byJuno Award Winner, Melanie Doane. The Program gives children
the chance to experience the joy of music through the ukelele.
Funding is needed to help kids join the program, especially those
whose family cannot otherwise afford private lessons. Melanie andmany of the teachers and parents support the idea that the ukelele
can be a wonderful springboard to other stringed instruments.
They are affordable, light weight, and easy to hold. The program
can give the children a wonderful sense of accomplishment andbuild the foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment through music. This
program is an excellent fit in terms of our "Evenings of Aloha" with
The Makaha Sons since the ukelele is at the heart of Hawaiian
Music.
Tickets will be $45 per person with a $5 discount for thosewishing to attend both concerts (i.e., two concerts $85/person).
Tickets are now available and can be ordered through the JCCC
416-441-2345. Based on the experience two years ago, audiences
will be treated to a wonderful evening of Hawaiian music andculture and people should buy their tickets early, and arrive early
since it is general seating (other than for complementary tickets for
Corporate Sponsors and for those performing). Aloha!
