THE ROAD TO ASIA FESTIVAL 2007
As we say goodbye to summer and head into fall, anticipation for The Road to Asia Festival is building. Mark your calendars for the
weekend of Saturday November 3 and Sunday November 4, 2007 as this weekend will have the JCCC packed with the richness and
exciting diversity of many Asian cultures.
Kobayashi Hall will feature a variety of dance, theatrical and music performances on the main stage. There will also be a cultural
marketplace featuring arts and crafts demonstrations and merchandise from all across the Asian region. If martial arts are what you want,
the dojo will feature virtually non-stop demonstrations. Finally, a visit to The Road to Asia Festival will not be complete unless you sample
some of the delicacies featured in the food court.
The Road to Asia Festival takes the JCCC’s motto of “Friendship Through Culture” to a whole new level. With last year’s participants
representing countries like Tibet, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, China, Sri Lanka, India, Taiwan, and, of course, Japan, and over 3,000
people in attendance, you won’t want to miss this huge two-day festival of Asian Canadian culture.
So gather your family and friends and join us for another exciting trip along The Road to Asia!

RONIN GAI: THE STREET OF
MASTER-LESS SAMURAI
Join us in October for another popular jidaigeki samurai action
drama!
Kazuo Kuroki’s international award-winning period drama was
produced in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the death
of Shozo Makino, “the father of Japanese films.” Set in the 1830s
near the end of the age of the samurai, Ronin Gai is populated by
an ensemble of colourful characters, social outcasts who patronize
a restaurant and brothel on the outskirts of Edo. Among them are
prostitutes and master-less samurai reduced to drunkenness and
debauchery. When a rogue band of the local shogun’s retainers
start killing the prostitutes in a ruthless, self-righteous murder
spree, the drunken samurai must sober up and retaliate, leading
to a climactic showdown in which they find a chance to redeem
themselves in true samurai fashion.
Ronin Gai also marks the final appearance of Shintaro Katsu,
the Japanese actor best known for his title role in the long-lasting
Zatoichi film series. The film also stars Yoshio Harada and Kanako
Higuchi.
The film is full of drama, intrigue and some quite bloody
violence. The film is recommended for fans of the genre but is
definitely not for children or the faint of heart. (Warning: Contains
scenes of violence and some adult situations)

SHAMISEN WORKSHOP AT THE JCCC
The shamisen, or Japanese 3-stringed banjo, is the instrument
most people associate with geisha. It is also the folk instrument
of everyday people, played at festivals throughout Japan. There
are very few shamisen teachers in North America, so here’s your
chance to try your hand at this unique Japanese instrument.
Participants will learn the basic components of the shamisen,
how to hold the instrument and its plectrum correctly, basic tunings,
basic techniques, and how to read simple music. No prior musical
experience is necessary and you don’t need to be able to read or
speak Japanese to take part.
Students are welcome to bring their own instruments and
accessories. A limited number of shamisen sets will be available
for rent to use on JCCC premises during the workshop.

Cost:
Thursday October 18 and Friday October 19, 2007
6:30pm to 9:30pm both evenings
$100 + GST for JCCC members
$110 + GST for non-members
Shamisen rental: $20 (payable to instructor)
The workshop will be taught by Linda Kakō Caplan – a Dai Shihan
(Grandmaster) of the Ikuta-ryu Chikushikai koto and shamisen
school in Fukuoka, Japan. She has studied koto and shamisen in
Japan, Canada and the U.S., and has performed at events in those
three countries for almost twenty-five years. Her teaching style is a
comfortable blend of traditional and modern methods.

SPEAKER SERIES
REVISITING THE REDRESS MOVEMENT
WITH BILL KOBAYASHI & YUKI MIZUYABU
The Speaker Series launches a new season of talks on Friday
October 19, 2007 with two Toronto Redress activists who helped to
toward the Redress Agreement on September 22, 1988.
Mr. Bill Kobayashi was one of the founding
members of the Toronto Chapter of the National
Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) in
the mid-1980s. Born in Vancouver and raised in
the Kitsilano area. With the west coast expulsion
of Japanese Canadians, his family moved to
Blind Bay, B.C. in 1942, then to Kamloops. His
family subsequently moved to Montreal where
Mr. Kobayashi (Photo
his community activism with wife Addie began
courtesy of Tak Yano)
with the 1977 JC Centennial project.
The son of fisherman Tsumejiro and Moto, Mr. Yuki Mizuyabu
was born in Nanaimo, B.C. in February 1929. Interned in Lemon
Creek until July 1946, the family was deported
to Japan where they settled with relatives in
Miomura, Wakayama-ken. Yuki worked in Japan
as a translator and telephone switchboard
operator with the U.S. Army before joining their
Intelligence Unit in Okinawa. When he returned
to Canada in 1961, all of his siblings had
already resettled in Toronto. A retired Toronto
Mr. Mizuyabu
city hall employee, Mr. Mizuyabu was an active
(Photo courtesy of
supporter of the NAJC during the redress
Norm Ibuki)
movement.
Join us in the JCCC Heritage Lounge for what is certain to be
a lively and informative evening. Relive the days before, during and
following the Redress Agreement with two Nisei whose wartime
experiences give them both very different perspectives on what
is one of the most important human rights victories in Canadian
history.
The talk will begin at 7:30pm and will be hosted by “Nikkei
Voice” writer Norm Ibuki. Green tea and manju will be available
afterwards. Admission is free. There will also be a special book
reading by author Gail Tsukiyama in the Heritage Lounge at
6:30pm so please come early.
1ST ANNUAL
SANSEI PUB NIGHT REVISITED
The JCCC would like to revive the old “pub
nite” from the 1970s. It has been such a
long time since the Sansei gathered at the
Centre for a social event, so it’s definitely
time to try and get together. Please get
in touch with your family and friends and
tell them to join you for an evening of fun,
reminiscing, laughter, sharing of photos and telling of tall tales of
the good old days. This invitation is extended to anyone who would
like to meet others from this generation, whether you’re Sansei or
not, whether you’re Japanese or not. If you enjoy classic rock and
disco music, then come and join in! The more the merrier!
The festivities will take place in the Kobayashi Hall on Saturday
October 20, 2007 from 8:00pm to 1:00am. For more information,
please call Dawna Kobayashi at 416-431-0296 or email at:

Members and guests are invited to attend the Japanese sword club
meeting on Saturday October 20, 2007 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm in
the Hosaki Room. Our special guest is Mr. Fred Kay, club member

making it an effective weapon. As always, there will be a sell/trade
table available for members. For more information, please contact
Ken Noma at: [email protected].
HERITAGE GOURMET TOUR OF JAPAN
MARCH 28 TO APRIL 10, 2008
Lovers of Japanese food and beverages are invited to join the
JCCC Heritage Committee on a tour of Japan to explore the culinary
delights of this ancient island nation. The backbone of all great
cuisines is the ingredients that make up the foundation of a dish
and Japanese cooking, developed over thousands of years, is no
different. With this in mind, we will visit traditional manufacturers of
miso, shoyu, vinegar, rice, dried bonito, tofu, nori and fruit. To assist
us to digest these delicacies there will be visits to manufacturers
of sake, shochu, beer, whisky, wine and fine tea. As an added
bonus, provided by nature, we will be able to enjoy all this under the
canopy of sakura blossoms. For further information please contact
your tour leader, Ken Noma at: [email protected].

The Men Who Made Meiji Architecture
Known as the father of Japanese architecture, British architect
Josiah Conder became a professor at the University of Tokyo in
1877 and went on to educate many Japanese architects who would
later win distinction in their field. His most renowned apprentices,
Kingo Tatsuno, Tokuma Katayama, Tatsuzo Sone and Shichijiro
Satachi, were the first Japanese architects to build western-style
buildings in Japan’s Meiji era.

NIHONGO ART CONTEST 2007
by Gendai Gallery
Nihongo Art Contest is a unique exhibition of artworks by children
using art to help them learn the Japanese language. This year’s
juried exhibition includes over 215 drawings – from the whimsical
to the sublime -- by children across Ontario in grades 1 to 12
currently studying the Japanese language. The exhibition opens
on Saturday October 13, 2007 from 2:30pm-4:30pm at the Gendai
Gallery located in the JCCC and continues until October 31, 2007.
Opening events on October 13 will include a fun art and language
workshop open to children of all ages, and an awards presentation
for the top winning entries.
The Nihongo Art Contest was founded in 2004 by Yukie
Uchida, a teacher of Japanese at Hillfield Strathallan College in
Hamilton. She invented a unique method of teaching: she asked
students to draw pictures that incorporated Japanese characters
to embody a word’s meaning in the drawing itself. With the support
of the Japan Foundation, the Ontario-wide contest was established
open to young students of the Japanese language. “The Nihongo
Art Contest presents a fun side to language acquisition,” said
contest president, Michiyo Uchida. “It is exciting to see how words
can inspire great visual creativity.”
The exhibition and contest is co-hosted by the organizing
committee of the Nihongo Art Contest and the Gendai Gallery.
It is generously supported by The Consulate General of Japan
in Toronto, The Japan Foundation, Toronto, The Japan National
Tourist Organization, The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre,
James Moto Enterprises Inc., Hillfield Strathallan College, and
Kokugo Kyoshitsu.

THE NAKED EMPEROR PRESENTS
A CHARITY CONCERT
A Delectable Evening of Classical, Folk/Blues, World, Jazz Music & Dance
by Emiko Hsuen
Come for an unforgettable evening of talent, spanning four diverse
genres of classical, folk/blues, world music and jazz. The Naked
Emperor is “a slice of life” showcasing different expressions of
truth as presented by a selection of gifted, well-established and
promising artists.
This charity concert is for the Canadian Music Therapy Trust
Fund, an organisation with a “bold, non-profit initiative designed
to integrate, educate, celebrate and promote all facets of music
therapy” in Canada. They have been “providing services to those in
hospitals, clinics and special schools” since 1994. A portion of the
proceeds will also be donated to the JCCC.
Take pleasure in the light, lyrical fingers of classical pianist
Yuka Koreeda, or the soothing, yet rejuvenating originals sung by
singer/songwriter Francesca Blandizzi. Enjoy the supple, bright
tones of soprano Emiko Hsuen, and the hip yet elegant innovations
of choreographer Chantal Ferris – as presented by dancers from
the Woodbridge School of Dance. Experience the colours, tints
and hues of eclectic originals performed by composer Hubert
Razack, and the ‘tinkling ivories’ of pianist Danny McErlain - one of
the mainstays of Toronto’s music scene for the past 30 years. Be
captivated by the stirring renditions of one of Toronto’s heavyweight
jazz singers, Peggy Mahon. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to
savour, experience and support The Naked Emperor.
