Toshiaki Toyoda’s star-studded biopic tells the true
story of shogi (Japanese chess) player Shoji “Shottan”
Segawa. Despite consistent dedication, Shottan fails togo professional by the time he turns 26, permanently
forfeiting his chance according to the game’s strict rules.
Shottan does not abandon his dream and continues as a
top amateur until, at 35, he makes an unprecedented bid
to go professional. This inspirational tale of late-blooming
self-realization and perseverance against all odds builds toa rousing conclusion.

A doomed boxer and a drug-addled call girl fall in love over
one wild night in the Tokyo underbelly as they are pursued bycorrupt cops, warring Yakuza, Triad gangs, a beautiful Chinese
assassin and a bizarre underwear-clad spectre. A Tarantinostyle roller-coaster ride, Miike’s latest is a furiously paced,hilarious, bloody and surprisingly poignant romance.

Directed by: Toshiaki Toyoda.
Cast: Ryuhei Matsuda, Yojiro Noda, Shota Sometani,
Jun Kunimura, Takako Matsu, Satoshi Tsumabuki

Heritage

Re-energized: New Direction for JCCC Gallery
by John Ota

Calendar of Exhibitions
September 22, 2019 - 2020
A Place of Pride: Building the First Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, Raymond Moriyama Architect

Heritage Hall

In 1964, the Japanese Canadian community opened a new cultural centre, the daring design alluding to a concrete
Japanese temple. The designer of the centre was a young, little known architect named Raymond Moriyama.
November 2 – November 10, 201912th Japanese Calligraphy Competition Canada		

JCCC Art Gallery

The Art Committee of the JCCC is excited about a reenergized direction for the gallery. With changes in leadership,
the committee has developed a new mandate and will be
implementing new ideas to achieve an expanded and inclusive
vision of art.
#1: The Art Committee has developed a new mandate: Tocelebrate works by Canadian and international artists ofJapanese descent; encouraging collaboration, dialogue and art
education.

Opening Reception: Sunday November 3, 2019 at 2:00pm with presentations by Mrs. Takako Ito, Consul General ofJapan; Mrs. Yuko Shimizu, The Japan Foundation; Mr. James Heron, JCCC.

#2: The Art Committee will implement a “Friends of the Gallery”
group to involve art loving volunteers. Improved communication
will come from an increased social media presence – thecommittee has already implemented a chat bot. The committee
will actively seek input from artists, JCCC members and the
public.

November 2019 – January 6, 2020
Something Old, Something New: Japanese Canadian Wedding Photographs		

#3: The Art Committee will expand the vision of art by initiating
partnerships with other galleries, activities in the JCCC, theNikkei community and with new and experienced artists.

Shodo Canada presents exhibition of scrolls from the 12th Japanese Calligraphy Competition Canada.

JCCC Art Gallery

January 11 to March 29, 2020
Artsu Matsuri

		

JCCC Art Gallery

Bi-annual celebration of art by Nikkei community artists happens in winter for the first time!

History MysteryThank you to all who submitted suggestions for last month's
History Mystery. As best we have been able to determine, theitems were Shogi tiles, although it would be unusual to haveso many of the same tile without having the rest of the set.
For this month's History Mystery, our item is not about'what' but 'who'. At our recent Issei Day celebration, someone
brought in this lovely noren. We believe that it hung in the
JCCC when it was at 123 Wynford Drive. If you brought inthis item, we would like to know more! Please contact us at
Theressat@jccc.on.ca, subject Noren.

In future newsletters we will be presenting profiles on Art
Committee members Kathy Yamashita, Kathy Okawara, Hitoshi
Murakami, Peter Wakayama, Jan Nobuto and John Ota. We
look forward to everyone joining us as we build on the JCCC
motto of Friendship Through Culture. The Art Committee canbe reached at: heritage@jccc.on.ca

TOP 5

A Place of Pride Exhibit:
Building the First JCCC Building, 1964.

by John Ota#5: To save money, JCCC volunteers cleared the land by
cutting down trees and burning the stumps – by hand.
#4: Architect Moriyama designed the front with wood bars
to represent incarceration of Japanese Canadians – theclear windows below symbolize freedom.
#3: Prime Minister Pearson’s remarks at the opening in
June 1964 apologized to Japanese Canadians for theinternment decades before redress.
#2: Moriyama designed the JCCC to be inexpensive as
well as beautiful.
And the #1 WOW in the Place of Pride Exhibit is:
The guts and determination of the founding members tobuild the first JCCC in 1964.

We are also happy to let you know that we already havenext month's History Mystery chosen, and it is a pretty neat,
pop-culture item!

by Bob Doi

by Sharon Marubashi

The JCCC held the 23rd Annual Family& Friends Golf Tournament on Sunday
September 15 at Rolling Hills Golf Course.
Weather was not ideal… drizzling rain andovercast. However everyone was amazing
and stayed the course with raincoats andumbrellas! Thank you all for playing
through the weather and hopefully you still
having fun.
We were pleased to have so many
returning players, and many new ones
too – with an amazing total of 156 golfers!
Again, we were able to use the adjoining
golf course to accommodate everyone(the Classic course and the Challenge
course). We were also very honoured
to have Consul General Takako Ito and
Claude Ito join us again this year.
This year the Hole In One sponsorship
was increased to $10,000, through thegenerosity of Matt Shintani. Unfortunately
no winners this year but some great
attempts! It was incredible to have suchgreat responses and support in the manysponsorship holes and prize donations.
The funds raised from the tournament
will be used to support Heritage initiatives
and programming at the JCCC. These
are all events that involve getting thecommunity and different generations
together to learn about Japanese Canadianhistory. We encourage everyone to join us

was only fitting to see the season ending
banquet filled with fun and camaraderie.
This year’s JC3-Pitch banquet brought
on a new twist. Most years it’s been held
in a buffet restaurant. But this year theorganizers decided to be adventurous
and hosted the event in a rented facility
with self-catering. The venue chosen
was the Konko Church of Toronto. The
basement was set-up for 42 players andguests with food ranging from pizza,
lasagna, tortellini, KFC, Caesar salad andsushi trays from J-Town. Glen Kawaguchi

showed off his culinary skills by preparing
miso soup, kabocha and an ice creamdessert.
Tod Nagamatsu’s daughter
Mikaela, an aspiring pastry chef, supplied
several delicious desserts for those who
still had room following a filling dinner.
The highlight of the evening were
the awards presentations and the door
prize draws. Thanks to several generous
donors, every player in attendance
received a door prize! Players fromthe HollisWealth Championship teamreceived their awards and Carmen Wan,
Neil Nagamatsu, Trudon Riddle, and Tsai

Yeh all received their Team Spirit award,
presented annually to a player from eachteam that exemplifies the values and goodsportsmanship of the league.
Congratulations to all of the award
winners and thank you to all of our teamsponsors (Assured Automotive, Back2feet,
Hollis Wealth and Wietzes Toyota). We
look forward to seeing everyone in 2020!

永井先輩を偲ぶ
ノースヨーク 丸木英朗

by Dr. Lara Okihiro

Hisa Okihiro, born 14 February 1916 toloving parents Hidemi Nakazawa andTone (Iwasaki), was the third child of
siblings Hidetoshi, Bob, Tam, Jeanne, Isi,and Sam. She grew up in Acme Cannery,
a company town located where the
Vancouver airport now exists, attending
school at a cannery town nearby, helping
her mother can fish when the fishing boats
came in, and spending summers picking
strawberries. Finishing school at gradeeight, she eventually did “house-work” inVancouver, living with the families withwhom she worked and enjoying every
other Sunday off to visit her family.
Introduced to Koichiro by her father,
the couple married in 1940. During WWII,
when all Japanese Canadians on the west
coast were forcibly interned, she wassent with her young family to Kaslo camp

(Langham Centre). They later moved toToronto, arriving in the cold and slushy
Fall of 1944. Working first as farmhands
and cooks, and with what savings they had
been able to secure, Koichiro and Hisa
built a house in what was rural Etobicoke.
Hisa managed her six children and theiradventures, usually with a broom in hand,and always with a warm meal for them anda warm welcome for their neighbourhood
friends. She was especially known for her
sushi, and for the traditional Japanese
New Year’s feasts she prepared andhosted.
An early businesswoman in her own
right, she returned to doing “house-work,”
gaining a devoted cliental through wordof-mouth, many of her clients becoming
close friends. Though small in stature, notonly did she have a big heart that everyone
14

who knew her felt, but she was also verystrong, in many ways. She moved large
furniture to vacuum and pounded fishby hand to make “kamaboko.” She was
hardworking, attentive to details and to
the needs of others, an excellent cook,
annually making delicious preserves,
kept a beautiful and fruitful garden, andloved children. She is missed and dearly
remembered by her own Richard, Chicoand Eleanor, Masumi, Walter and Pam,
Norman and Doris, and Helen; by her
nephew and friends Randy, Cris, andFran; by her grandchildren Janis andCraig, David, Lara and Mario, Julie, David
and Lisa, Kevin, Alexandra, Jonathan,Mike, Sharon, and Andrej; by her many
great grandchildren; and by many otherrelatives and friends.
