Movie Night
March Movie: Unforgiven
Ken Watanabe Exchanges Six-guns for a Samurai Sword in Japanese Remake of the Clint Eastwood Classic
Ken Watanabe (Inception) stars in director Lee Sang-il’s visionary remake of Clint
Eastwood’s iconic Academy Award winner. Continuing a rich tradition of crosscultural adaptations, Lee swaps six-shooters for samurai swords, transposing the
classic western to Meiji-period Japan.
The film was screened in the Special Presentation section at the 2013
Toronto International Film Festival and was described by Artistic Director Cameron
Bailey as follows:
"Jubei Kamata (Ken Watanabe) is a widowed father and infamous former
swordsman who spends his days tending a struggling farm. His commitment to
pastoral tranquility is tested when Kingo Baba (Akira Emoto), an old comrade in
arms, brings news of a bounty substantial enough to secure his children's future:
the prostitutes of a neighbouring village have pledged 1,000 yen for the lives of
the bandits who mutilated one of their own. Rustily and somewhat reluctantly,
Jubei joins Kingo in the saddle, along with a brash young braggart named Goro
(Yûya Yagira). Together, they fancy themselves more than a match for the wanted
men. But they are also destined to encounter a far more formidable faction, led by
a sadistic lawman (Koichi Sato) with a distaste for soldiers of fortune.
Lee wisely retains the spine of David Webb Peoples's acclaimed screenplay,
but adds several notable flourishes of his own. A subplot concerning Japan's
indigenous Ainu squares his update with the broader western tradition of depicting
the plight of aboriginal peoples at the hands of so-called civilizing forces. Lee also
refashions the film's climactic standoff to stunning effect, conceiving a fiery new
finale that is certain to see his Unforgiven become iconic in its own right.”
We will also be joined that evening by Goro Koyama,
internationally acclaimed foley artist whose most recent
work, on Robert Redford’s All is Lost, is nominated for this
year’s Academy Award for best sound. Goro helped create
the sound effects for Unforgiven and will demonstrate for
us some of his techniques for creating sound effects for a
major international film. His other credits include The Help,
42, Elysium, Alice in Wonderland and American Hustle.
The screening will also be proceeded by the
announcement of the Toronto Japanese Film Festival 2014
line-up.

Seeking Volunteers for JCCC Monthly
Movie Night
The JCCC is currently seeking volunteers to help out regularly at
our monthly movie night. Movie nights are usually scheduled on
the last Thursday evening of each month (no movie in December),
and we are looking for volunteers who are able to help with ticket
sales, snack sales, and tidy up the theatre after screening. We
welcome the volunteers who help on the evenings to stay and
watch the movie for free! For more information, please contact
Yuki at [email protected].
Line-up of movies screened at this year's
festival will be announced on March 27, 2014.

great deals on Noritake tableware, logoware, lawn accessories,
gardening items, starter plants, baked goods, etc., plus lots of
white/pink elephant treasures and of course our Silent Auction with
some great products to bid on. There will also be lots of food for

you take a break from your shopping spree.
Please come and support your JCCC!
We welcome donations of all kinds – baked goods (including

Bazaar Volunteering Opportunities
The Annual Bazaar provides many opportunities for volunteers of
all ages. From now until the day of Bazaar there is lots of work that
goes into making this event a huge success. NO EXPERIENCE
IS NECESSARY to be a volunteer and there are jobs for young
people who need high school volunteer hours as well as the “young
at heart.” Time commitments can be tailored according to your
availability, from a few hours to a few days, whatever you are willing
to commit to.
To help us better plan for these events, please call 416-4412345 or email [email protected] and let us know if you can volunteer
your time.
New for 2014 - Manju Bee
On Sunday April 27, 2014, we will be introducing the first Bazaar
Manju Bee. This is an opportunity for people to help us make a
few different types of manju (red bean cakes) to sell at our annual
Bazaar. In the past, this date has traditionally been our Mochitsuki
Day. While we appreciate the many years of support for this activity,
we have found that demand for mochi has dwindled over the years.
We hope that all our previous volunteers will still come out to join
in and that we can entice some new volunteers as well. The day
will run from about 10:00am to mid-afternoon. No experience is
4
necessary and we can use lots of volunteers on this day, so come
with your family and friends!!!
Preparation Day
Preparation day will be held on Friday May 2, 2014 from 9:30am
to late afternoon. We will be using this day to set up the areas for
our sales, to make the Inari sushi (from 12:30pm) and to do some
light food preparation work.
Sushi Bee
We will be using the same approach to the preparation of sushi
this year as we have the past few years. As we want to offer the
best quality sushi as is possible, we will be rolling the sushi in the
morning before the bazaar. We realize that this means an early
start to a busy day, but we request that anyone available to help
come to the JCCC on May 3 for 7:00am! If you are able to help us
out, please contact Christine Takasaki at 416-441-2345 ext. 221or
at [email protected].

Sakura Gala Rescheduled to
November 22, 2014
The JCCC has rescheduled
the Sixth Annual Sakura
Gala
to
Saturday
November
22,
2014.
The rescheduling is to
continue in the fine tradition
of a Black Tie Social on
a Saturday night, while
respecting the traditions
of the Jewish Community
and the Sabbath. This
was a carefully considered
decision that will ensure a
very successful Gala and
an enjoyable evening for all
attendees.
The 2014 Sakura Gala posthumously honours the courageous
Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese diplomat who served as ConsulGeneral in Lithuania during World War II. During this time, he risked
his career to issue visas to Jewish refugees so they could travel
to Japan. In less than one month, he issued over 2,000 visas,
resulting in his saving over 6,000 lives. The 2014 Sakura Gala will
also honour the Jewish community in Toronto for its friendship and
support of Japanese Canadians following the Japanese Canadian
internment.
To receive more information about the Sakura Gala, please
call or email Sarah Burd at 416-249-0788 or [email protected],
or visit the gala website: www.sakuragala.com.Keep checking the
JCCC newsletter for updates on the Sixth Annual Sakura Gala. Be

Nostalgia Night is July 5, 2014
Nostalgia Night is coming on Saturday July 5, 2014, and after last
year’s sell-out success, you won’t want to miss this event!
Nostalgia Night’s main focus is to recognize the work that
various organizations within the Japanese Canadian community
have contributed towards the cultural and social development and
well-being of our community over the years. It has also become a
great opportunity to catch up with friends and acquaintances, mingle
with members of the clubs and organizations being honoured and
- of course - enjoy great Japanese Canadian food!!
This year’s Nostalgia Night honours four clubs - Bunka Shishu,
Ikebana, Shodo, and Sumi-e - each of which have supported the
development of Japanese cultural arts over the years.
So mark the date on your calendar to join us for this
wonderful celebratory event, and look for information in upcoming
newsletters!!
Transformation Ochawan continues to
March 31
by John Ota
The edible part of the exhibition
reception on Sunday afternoon,
Feb 2 was ochazuke – green tea on
steamed, white rice with a selection
of colourful toppings: umeboshi,
furukake, tidbits of nori and takuwan,
and assorted tsukemono. Yum!
The 71 ochawan on exhibit in the
gallery boast a similar diversity of
ingredients.
Starting with blank, white
bowls, artists and non-artists (participants ranged from 5 to 88
years of age) used materials such as bamboo, brown sugar,
indelible markers, finger-nail decals, photographs, alabaster,
gummy worms, and raw rice to express beautiful thoughts, humour,
and social concerns. There were bowls that had been cut in half,
or broken and reconstructed (one was left in shards). Some were
painted or written on. All were fancifully altered in appearance and
meaning.
Elegantly presented on wall shelves, display stands and a
central banquet table, Transformation Ochawan is a glittering
visual feast and well worth going back for second helpings. It’s a
lot to digest. Many of the ochawan are for sale by silent auction
which ends on the final day of the exhibition. Gallery hours are
9:00am – 9:00pm daily. The JCCC gratefully acknowledges the
sponsorship of Toronto Chapter NAJC for this project. Photos courtesy

Sedai Corner
Leaving Behind
Answers
Although the brunt of this year’s harsh
winter weather is hopefully past us, the
loss of family, friends, and community
members in recent years as well as more recent months, brings
to the forefront the place and role of leaving behind a record. If we
leave behind answers, future generations will be able to find that
much more meaning behind the questions which will inevitably be
posed. And finding a meaningful way to record and preserve your
memories and history, can be an experience that also brings much
laughter and creates wonderful new memories.
Sedai would like to thank Mitsy Kuwahara for the contribution
of her time and memories of her late father Shigeyuki “Shig”
Yoshida, the warmly remembered Boy Scout Leader in Tashme.
Shig Yoshida remained in the warm collective memory of several of
Sedai’s interviewees, and through preserving his legacy, we hope
to honour his contribution to the community.
Also, as mentioned last month, the JCCC’s annual Sakura
Gala would like to highlight and honour the countless Jewish
Canadians who showed great humanity to many Japanese
Canadians resettling east of the Rockies following WWII. To those
who have already stepped forward with letters and phone calls, we
give our thanks! This piece of Canadian history has gone largely
unacknowledged – many Canadians in and outside of the Jewish
Canadian population have little knowledge of this time period nor
this historical gem of Canadian multicultural acceptance, and we
hope to pay proper tribute to those who pushed aside racism during
a difficult period of time.
And for those who may have anecdotes or recollections
that could aide the JCCC and Sedai in better understanding the
connections that were made between the Jewish Canadian and
Japanese Canadian communities, we eagerly invite you to step
forward and contact us. And as always, if you or a loved one
have memories (however many or few!) which you feel should be
recorded and preserved, please contact Elizabeth Fujita, Sedai
Project Coordinator, at [email protected] or 416-4412345 ext 303.
From the Nikkei Heritage Resource
Centre
Our volunteers have remained busy
in spite of the unquestionably cold
and snowy winter that we are having.
They are busy working on cataloguing
the JCCC’s collection of photographs,
documents,
dolls,
kimono
and
artefacts!
Make sure that you come into
the Nikkei Heritage Centre during
your next visit to see some of our
newest donations and finds from our
collection.
