Legato Ota Association is a support organization based in Ota City,
Tokyo that assists immigrant communities through language andconsultation services.
Supported by THE NIPPON FOUNDATIONOn the cover: Matsushige Lock Gate
表紙：松重閘門

Construction of the Nakagawa Canal began in 1926, and a section of thecanal opened in 1930. The completed canal, and the Matsushige Lock
Gate, went into operation in 1932, and is said to have been described as
the greatest canal in the East.
To ease congestion on the Horikawa River, boats would cross via the
Matsushige Lock Gate to the Nakagawa Canal and transport goods to
Nagoya Port. The difference in water level of the two waterways required alock system (the same as that used on the Panama Canal) to enable boats
to travel between the Horikawa River and the Nakagawa Canal.
Shipping along the Nakagawa Canal peaked in 1964, and trucks
increasingly came to be the preferred mode of transport for freight. The
Matsushige Lock ceased operation in 1976, but the preservation of thestructure was decided in 1977 in response to the request of residents.
Affectionately known as the 'ladies on the water', the lock's four elegant
towers are reminiscent of a European castle.
The structure was designated a Tangible Cultural Property of the City of
Nagoya in 1986.

Living Q & A: Using your Individual Number card when changing your address
外国人暮らしのQ＆A「マイナンバーカードを使うと転出証明書なしで転入届できるか」

I'm moving to Nagoya, so I went to the city hall of the place where I'm currently living and gave notice that I'll bemoving out. The staff told me that because I have a My Number Card, it's recorded on the chip in the card, so I only
need to take my My Number Card and my Residence Card to the ward office when I move to Nagoya. Can I really givenotice of moving in without a change of address certificate?
If you have been issued an Individual Number ('My Number' / マイナンバー) card, you can use your Individual Number Card to give notice ofmoving out (tenshutsu todoke / 転出届) . You can also give notice of moving out by post. If you use your Individual Number Card, a changeof address certificate (tenshutsu shōmeisho / 転出証明書) will not be issued. You just present your Individual Number Card (instead of thechange of address certificate) to the municipal office of the city you have moved to, and give notification of moving in (tennyū todoke / 転入届). Foreign nationals must also present their Residence Card (zairyū kādo / 在留カード).
If your whole family is moving, you can use your Individual Number Card for the notification of moving out and in procedures, even if only one
person in your family has an Individual Number Card. In this case, the person who visits the municipal office to give notification must be a
person who has been issued the Individual Number Card.
Please note also that when giving notification of moving in using an Individual Number Card, you must give notification 'within 14 days of thedate you move to the new municipality', and 'within 30 days of the date you intend to move out'. If notification cannot be given within these
periods, you will not be able to use the Individual Number Card for the procedure, and you will need to have a change of address certificate
issued to complete the procedure.
When using your Individual Number Card to give notification of moving in to Nagoya City, the information needs to be confirmed with themunicipality from which you moved. Although certain procedures can be performed on designated Sundays at ward offices in Nagoya City,
the municipal office of the place you moved from may not be open, and, as staff will not be able to confirm information, you may need to visit
the ward office again to complete the procedure.
Remember also that to use your Individual Number Card to give notice of moving in, your 4-digit PIN code is required. If you don't remember
the code, you won't be able to enter the code to allow access to the relevant information. In this case, you will need to request that it be resetand set up a new PIN code.
For more information on the Individual Number Card, please consult the section of your local municipal office responsible for the Individual
Number Card, or the Individual Number General Call Center (0120-0178-27 for service in English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai,
Nepali, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Tagalog).

What to do when Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information is issued
南海トラフ地震臨時情報が発表されたら、何をしたらいいの？

(★For an introduction to Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information, see the NIC website at https://bit.ly/3Tagzsd .)When Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information is issued, check again that your home is prepared
Earthquakes can occur at any time, so it's important to take measures in your day-to-day life to help yourself be better prepared for when an
earthquake occurs. When Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information is issued, check your preparation once again.
1. Prepare for tremors
To prevent injury from furniture moving or toppling over, fix furniture in place using L-brackets (to attach furniture towalls), or adjustable struts (tsuppari-bō /突っ張り棒) between the top of the item and the ceiling.
You can also put protective film over windows and glass doors to reduce the potential hazard of broken glass.
2. Prepare for fires
To prevent electrical fires after an earthquake, you can install an earthquake-sensitive circuit breaker that stops theflow of electricity automatically when it detects a tremor.
3. Prepare for life as an evacuee●Confirm where you should evacuate to, and a safe route to get there.
Together with your family, confirm how each of you should notify one another that you are safe if you become separated.
●Familiarize yourselves with how to use the Disaster Emergency Message Dial 171 Telephone Service, Disaster Emergency Message
Board web171 (NTT), or the disaster emergency message boards provided by your mobile phone service provider.

Softbank/Y!mobile: http://dengon.softbank.ne.jp/●Stock up on water and food
Stockpile sufficient water, food, etc. for your family for one week. Keep 3 days’ worth in backpacks as part of your emergency evacuation kit.
After Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information is issued, keep the potential risk in mind as you go about your everyday activities.
Avoid areas that are at risk from tsunami, landslides, etc. as much as possible.
Keep your living quarters in as safe a place as possible indoors.
Don't keep objects above the head of your bed or in high spots from which they could fall and cause injury.
Confirm how and where you should obtain reliable information in an emergency, e.g. radio, official SNS of municipal authorities, etc.
(Don't trust or share SNS posts shared by friends if they are not from a reliable source.)

An Art Village in Nagoya! Ichino Toru & Ichino
Tatsuoki, Ichino Takao

名古屋に芸術村を！市野亨と龍起・鷹生〜100年の命宿る色彩This exhibition presents the works of
Ichino Tōru (1910-1966), a Nihonga(日本画 / Japanese painting) artist
who dreamed of establishing an
artists' village in Nagoya, and hissons Tatsuoki and Takao. Around a
century ago, the aspiring artist Tōru
studied under 'venue art' proponent
Ichino Tōru, Shichisaichō (七彩鳥), 1942
Kawabata Ryūshi. After the war, Tōru
converted a former army barracks in Chikusa Ward into a 180
square-meter studio, a site which came to be known as Ageha-cho(after a poem by his mentor, Kawabata), with a view to creating avillage where his fellow artists could congregate. With his great works
in the flower and bird genre, bold yet delicate and in vivid color, Tōru
came to spearhead Nagoya's postwar painting scene.
Named after Kawabata, Tōru's son Tatsuoki (1942-1997) was a born
artist. Both father and son were completely absorbed in the beauty of
the colors and the life dwelling within Nihonga painting. Tatsuoki
became an apprentice to Nihonga artist Takayama Tatsuo and was
active in the prestigious Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition), but passed
away at age 55, the same age as his late father when he died. Yet,even today, the brilliance of their works continues to fascinate.
Also featured are works by Tatsuoki's brother, Takao (1947-), who
remains an active painter of Nihonga. While Takao's works coverthemes ranging from gentle depictions of figures and animals fromliterature and myths, to those reflecting the current age, and executedin diverse styles, he shares the same passion for life as his father andbrother.
Of particular note are three grand pieces by Tōru which survived the
Isewan Typhoon and were secretly stored by the Ichino family, making
an appearance after almost a century. See the glimmer of beautiful life
amid hardship in the works of the young Tōru depicting the trees andbirds of Ama district, his birthplace. Together with the Ichino Tatsuoki
collection of the Furukawa Art Museum, enjoy the life that shines within
Nihonga.
