Cindy Mochizuki | Autumn Strawberry This summer, the Surrey Art Gallery presents two multimedia installations that look at the Japanese Canadian experience in British Columbia – in the years leading up to World War Two, and in the incarceration of 8,000 men, women and children at Vancouver’s Hastings Park before being forcibly removed from the west coast. Cindy Mochizuki's Autumn Strawberry takes us back in time to Japanese Canadian farms in the years leading up to the Japanese Canadian internment and dispossession in 1942.

tions that move from everyday farm life to a creaturely, future world of trees and lively insects. The trees’ ghostly presence recalls the “dream of riches” that motivated many issei (first generation Japanese immigrants) to come to Canada, while also bringing to light the harsh reality of their participation in deforestation processes (tree stumping) to clear the land so they could plant their berry fields. These farms would later lie abandoned and then sold to support the construction of the internment camps.

Henry Tsang | Hastings Park

BULLETIN INTERVIEW

CINDY MOCHIZUKI AND HENRY TSANG I’ve spent the past year-plus in these pages promoting online events, along with books and other activities that can be enjoyed at home during lockdown – it feels strange to be talking about an exhibit, or exhibits, that you can experience out in the world. Artists I’ve talked over the course of the pandemic have had varying responses to the strange state of the world brought about by the lockdown, with many being surprisingly productive, and others not so much. Can you talk about how the pandemic impacted your lives and artmaking? HT The pandemic certainly caused a shift in the way we live and work. All of my projects were impacted, some more than others, as access to materials, resources and people with expertise became restricted or delayed. For instance, the infrared projection screen for the invisible projection in Hastings Park uses a special acrylic that allows only near-infrared light to pass through, blocking light in the visible spectrum. Because of the global demand for clear acrylic sheet (such as Plexiglas) used in workplaces, stores and restaurants, factories and distributors focused their production and distribution on this par-

ticular product and application. That meant more specialized materials were out of stock, and wait times grew with no clear delivery dates. So situations like these, and there were various ones, made me nervous throughout the research and development of the infrared projection piece. Another example of the COVID effect was that originally, Hastings Park was to be exhibited with another project, Tansy Point, which has been delayed to the fall of 2022. CM The global pandemic certainly did change my art practice way of living, in a good way slowed me down and placed focus on other aspects of my life. My home has always been my studio but I was someone who travelled quite extensively for exhibitions or projects and that was all postponed, in fact the first opening of this exhibition was postponed as well. The week of our first lockdown I was on my way to Toronto to dramaturge for Andrea Naan’s new dance project Firehorse and Shadow and found myself cancelling my flight. Living with an elderly mother, my footprint out there in the world was limited and I was extra cautious. I often work with collaborators and so I did not have face-to-face interactions with them even if we were in production for Autumn Strawberry. We worked remotely until very recently this year where I was able to, for the first time, actually work with a few of them safely in-person installing the show at the gallery. Your exhibits opened at the Surrey Art Gallery right on the cusp of this reopening that we have been dreaming about for so long. Essentially a week after the exhibit openings, the province itself opened up. Hopefully this makes it easier for us to experience Autumn Strawberry and Hastings Park. Are reservations still needed or will it revert to a more traditional gallery experience? HT The restricted opening times for the gallery is a big concern of mine. It’s really important to be able to experience these projects in real life, to be able to move through the gallery space and respond to the artwork

Can you talk about the residency and how it played out? the exhibitions and the gallery is open Tuesday and Thursday 4pm – 7pm and Saturday 10am – 5pm. Things may change for the month of August. On the face of it, your two exhibits are radically different, yet were curated to run concurrently. What do see tying them together, and did you communicate with each other during the creative process? HT Jordan was excited to situate our projects next to each other to create a conversation between them – otherwise I wasn’t aware of what Cindy was planning beyond what Jordan told me. But I’ve been following, and greatly respect Cindy’s work ever since we met way back in the late 90s, and was looking forward to showing next to her, especially given that there are synergies between the projects. It was a curatorial decision by Jordan Strom, the curator of the Surrey Art Gallery, to situate these works side by side and no we didn’t have a chance to communicate with each other during the creative process. They are two different works with differing processes and approaches to re-looking at sites of memory connected to Japanese Canadian histories. CM I first came across Henry’s work in the artistic community when I was in my undergraduate studies at SFU studying curatorial projects that focused on early Asian Canadian diaspora and exhibitions happening around the time of the late 80s and early 90s. His curatorial projects including Self Not Whole: Cultural Identity and Chinese Canadian artists in Vancouver (1991) were one of the many artist-run projects during that time that I was researching in my last year at SFU. It’s the first time we have been placed together in an exhibition and I’m interested to see the conversations and dialogues that will come out of the pairing. We are going to be giving a talk together on July 17 and I’m looking forward to hearing about his current practice integrating these technologies that he is introducing into these lens-based projects and about his other projects including the 360 Riot Walk. Why strawberry farms, Cindy? Do you have a connection through your family? What are the threads that link you to this exhibit? CM Autumn Strawberry has a direct link to my own family history in that my grandparents owned and worked on a strawberry farm in Walnut Grove, Langley before their internment. As a process I have interviewed two of my aunts for this project around their

CM I was invited for a residency back in 2019 at the TechLab at the Surrey Art Gallery and Jordan was interested in the possibility of looking at the Japanese Canadian agricultural histories in Surrey particularly around Strawberry Hill. It is part of my own family history, and an area of research that is touched on upon in some of my earlier projects like Compass (which was a short 30 minute performance around my paternal grandmother and her life in Canada and Japan.) but I had always wanted to do further work around Japanese Canadian berry farms and have a greater understanding about what that entailed. I wanted the time to deep dive into this history and allow for a longer duration project to come out of it. I was in the studio a few times a week for 3 months and invited nisei and sansei who were children on some of these berry farms across the Fraser Valley to share stories of their time. There was also pre-existing archival materials in the Nikkei Museum archives as well as the City of Surrey archives that I looked at and in particular a book written by Michael S Hoshiko, Who Was Who: Pioneer Japanese Families in Delta and Surrey, which was an inspirational source of material for the final project. Did you have any preconceptions for the residency and the exhibit itself or did the stories you gathered determine the shape of the exhibit? CM I usually let the circumstance guide the artistic process and so a call was put out there and if people wanted to come, meet and consent in sharing stories they could. I kept in mind the nisei who would speak to me would be in their 80s-90s and that their remembrances are from the point of view of a child’s eye. While there are the ‘historical’ facts and accounts there are also poignant moments of everyday life on these farms that signal to me that inside the inter-generational households everyone (no matter what age) was involved in participating in daily life. These stories and research materials accumulated into a script of several short vignettes that became the blueprints for the 60 minute animation. Many other projects came about through this project; another will be a dance film performed inside the installation choreographed by Lisa Mariko Gelley later this month. Was there anything that came out of the residency that surprised you? CM I am always surprised at the people who want to come forward to be part of the process of art-making and understanding our history. I’ve worked in this way for many years and I’m humbled by the support of people who want to take share stories or even to perform inside my work. I think this is the part that is the most meaningful to me and makes. It is a generative and restorative energy that I count on inside my artistic practice and process. There were many surprising stories that came out of the residency – such as getting to know about the Japanese Canadian Strawberry King of Mission or those that patented forced hothouse techniques so that the Japanese Canadian farmers can grow food in the colder season and still make some profits. I came across a farmer’s guide book in Japanese that has line drawings of bacteria and ways to understand how to tend to the crops. There was a deep ecology of life

happening between farmers and their shared knowledge of their crops and livestock; but also how to survive during those times and remain vigilant.

CM Autumn Strawberry is a multi-media animation experienced through many projection and screen surfaces. Inside the animations we span the 1900s1942 and the life on Japanese Canadian berry farms despite the looming dangers that are interrupting the psyche of the characters via the news and sound waves from an old radio. The animations are hand painted using watercolour and ink. As an audience member you are invited to walk through the space and sit on sculptural tree stumps and peer into abandoned parts of barn flats. Nancy Tam has composed the sound composition which invites you into the past/present/future worlds inside this piece. HT Hastings Park is in two spaces: one with ten large and very colourful photographs of the four remaining buildings from 1942; and a smaller dark gallery with one more photograph and an invisible projection installation. The audience hopefully will approach the installation and interact with it; in doing so, they will see the infrared imagery that is being projected. And maybe figure out how it all works.

Can you talk about the thermal imaging technique you used for Hastings Park, and how it relates to the park’s usage in 1942 as a temporary home and transit station for JC’s waiting to be shipped east. HT The thermal imaging camera is used as a tool to investigate this history through the surfaces of the buildings that once housed these Japanese Canadians. It acts as a medium through which I ask these structures, do you remember that time, did their presence affect you in any way, did they leave any traces behind after they left? Because after the war, Hastings Park went back to its original function, which was to house the PNE, and until Redress, most Vancouverites who were not targeted for internment were not aware of this part of its history. Leonard Frank’s photographs of Hastings Park are iconic. How did you incorporate them into the exhibit? HT Leonard Frank’s photographs that were created for the BC Securities Commission during WWII are not specifically included in Hastings Park, but in a way, my photographs are in conversation with them. I was aware of his series prior to my photo shoot with the thermal imaging camera, but I didn’t try to emulate them in any way. I didn’t want to appear as if I was trying to faithfully re-create his photographs; following someone else’s footsteps isn’t something I’m keen on doing. After all, I was using a low resolution high tech imaging device designed for the construction industry, not a traditional large format camera made for the photographic industry. But after reviewing my shots, it became clear that some were taken from the same spot where he stood back in 1942. So there was some serendipity at play, and when comparing some of his images with mine, a sense of the uncanny. But even if it’s the same view of the building, you wouldn’t mistake one for the other, for obvious reasons.

ey rink before being shipped off to internment and labour camps? What was retained, what was erased? It’s not like there’s a setting on these machines that can be set to look at 1942, but they do offer the ability to look for cracks on the surface of the official history of Vancouver, BC and Canada. Memory is a tricky thing. In the case of the JC community, those who experienced the later prewar years and then the internment are not only elderly now, but were young at the time, so their memories are necessarily impacted. And we’re approaching a time in the not-sodistant future when there will be no one left to hold those memories. This is a broad and maybe unanswerable question, but how can we, as artists, recreate memories that are necessarily ﬂuid, yet honour the lived experiences of those who came before ? CM I absolutely agree. My grandmother and my dad have both passed on, but they were the ones who were the direct connection to me and our familial histories and now I can no longer speak to them on this physical plain about these experiences. I am fortunate to have my aunts still active, healthy and sharp should I need to clarify things around my own history and their experiences that are not documented via physical cameras. So it is important to do this work now while we can; and to cultivate spaces and collaborations where we can continuously find ways to honour the lived experiences of those who came before us both ethically and artistically. I think also it is important to challenge ourselves as artists in the ways in which we carry these histories forward. HT In some ways I see both Cindy’s piece and my project as attempts to understand the experiences of those who lived through these times in these places. Cindy’s approach contains a greater deal of information with authentic (and imaginary) voices recalling their lives and livelihood, with subtlety and depth. In contrast, my approach is perhaps a bit more analytical and speculative, posing questions that don’t require answers but rather, aspirationally, open up ways to consider further questions to explore. Cindy’s piece is full of people and a way of living not too long ago that perhaps was distinct from the dominant culture, whereas mine is about a place that has been emptied out, and what we’re looking at is the shell of memory.

Art doesn’t exist in a vacuum, obviously, and the world today looks very diﬀerent than it did then when you started these exhibits. BeYou’ve said, “This camera exposes not only the cur- tween the global pandemic and the societal and racial reckonings rent condition of the buildings, but also the past we’re facing in North America, these are fraught times. In what ways and hidden histories inscribed within. It can see did the unfolding events of the last year and half impact how you put these exhibits together? things we can’t.” What do you mean by that? HT Thermal imaging can detect subtle differences in temperature, and is especially useful in exposing leaks and fissures that would signal issues with what is beneath the surface. It employs technology focused on near-infrared wavelengths of light that human eyes are incapable of detecting. It sees in plain sight what we can’t. What can these cameras show us about these buildings? What kind of stories, histories, experiences, memories are embedded within those façades? What evidence is there of the 8,000 folks who were forcibly removed from their homes and temporarily housed in the cattle stalls and hock-

HT Hastings Park is one of various projects I have worked on that addresses racist attitudes and violence, which has had a boost in the past few years for the reasons you mentioned. Hopefully the general public (would that be “white?” if so, when will that presumption or bias change?) awareness has become more tolerant of acknowledging these issues. I hope this is the case, as this would be a step towards a more just society. It’s not like I’m doing anything new subject matter-wise, but perhaps there’s more space now due to the hard work of many to acknowledge racial and social inequities, and hopefully normalize the possibility for learning about these injustices.

CM As you have mentioned the unfolding of events of the last year and half around the resurgence of racial discriminations definitely impacted the shaping of Autumn Strawberry. Here was a time from the past that I was immersing myself into that paralleled many things happening today – not much had changed. I would be looking through old newspaper articles that underpin the racist tones and attitudes to these Japanese Canadian farmers that were posing a threat for their capability of thriving and producing successful berry farms and even piecing together the impact of the 1907 Anti-Asian Race Riots; which for some was the decision for to move out of the city to go into farming for their safety. Despite these hardships in the years before the internment; families remained intact and kept up the livelihood of their day to day lives whether it was cooking meals for the family or tending to their bustling farms. So it was all the more important for me to complete this work and I hope it brings about a sense of awareness but also healing.

My approach is perhaps a bit more analytical and speculative, posing questions that don’t require answers but rather, aspirationally, open up ways to consider further questions to explore.

Survivors Health & Wellness Fund Grant Information OVERVIEW The Province of BC has provided Nikkei Seniors Health Care and Housing Society (Nikkei Seniors) with $2 million as part of their commitment to honour seniors who lived through the traumatic uprooting and displacement of almost 22,000 Japanese Canadians during the Second World War. The Province of BC is acknowledging the role they played in the historical wrongs committed against the Japanese Canadian community during the period between 1942 and April 1, 1949. The grant came out of the efforts of the National Association of Japanese Canadians’ (NAJC) BC Redress initiative. PURPOSE Nikkei Seniors has designated the $2 million for the Japanese Canadian Survivors Health & Wellness Fund (Fund). The purpose of the Fund is to provide grants to enhance programs, activities, and services that will directly benefit the health and/or wellness of these living survivors. The Fund will offer three categories of grants: Organizations, Small Groups, and Underserved. GLOSSARY

This is an open letter to Japanese Canadians and our allies to support Indian Residential School Survivors. While many of us have already begun the important and lifelong processes of unlearning and unsettling ourselves with respect to our relationships with Indigenous peoples and with Canada, many of us have yet to start this important journey. On May 27, 2021, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Nation confirmed the remains of 215 children who were students of the Catholic-run Kamloops Indian Residential School. Today, June 24, 2021, we heard the announcement of 751 unmarked graves at the Marieval school in Saskatchewan. While this might come as a shock to Canadians, survivors have been calling for investigations into these graves for years and it is expected that many more sites and similar horrific announcements are to come. Their voices and truths cannot be ignored any longer. Five years ago, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released a report as part of its final findings that called explicitly for investigations into these deaths, the missing children, and unmarked burial sites. Their requests were denied. As the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) emphasizes and reminds, “we have the evidence of first-hand witnesses of the torture and abuse. In Canada, we live under the rule of law. The law does not allow those who are responsible for the deaths of children to walk free with impunity.” As Japanese Canadians, we must stand together and call for accountability.

of dispossession, confinement and assimilation during the 1940s that targeted our mothers, our brothers, our grandmothers, our great-grandfathers. Several community members who went through what is commonly referred to as the internment are still alive today. In the Spirit of Redress, or that spirit of courage and tenacity in the face of horrible injustice, racism, ignorance and denial of the truth and of the past, let us stand together in support of residential school survivors, now.

REAL BENEFIT OF REMEMBERING NAMES

For the past few issues, we have dwelt on the cuisines of various countries and the cultures that go with them. This time, let us look at the critical role played by the waiters and waitresses or, for that matter, the chefs behind sushi counters. Most important, are you aware that remembering their names is not just a matter of good manners but about real benefit as well?

Those readers who already practice it may know that, but there may also be those who have never thought of remembering service people’s names. Probably readers who have actually experienced working as a waiter, waitress, or whatever know this best. “Excuse me!” or “Hello!” may be normal ways of calling you, but one’s reaction would be faster if addressed as “Bill” or “Erin” for instance.

Having started out as news agency journalist in London, I worked as a reporter for well over 20 years in European cities and Singapore and the most important rule is to record accurately the names of those one interviewed. It’s the same in business with the names of those one dealt with.

Even though I hadn’t learned her name for that purpose, things like that do happen.

FOUR FAMILIES, FOUR JOURNEYS by Stephanie Kawamoto My name is Stephanie Kawamoto. I am a yonsei and a descendant of the Kawamoto, Koyanagi, Hyodo, and Kagetsu families. I grew up hearing about my mom’s side of the family, especially Hide Hyodo Shimizu and Eikichi Kagetsu, but not much about my dad’s side of the family. Through Landscapes of Injustice, I have been fortunate to learn about all four of my grandparents’ families and their experiences during World War Two. Although they all experienced dispossession and forced relocation, each family’s experience was different.

Kawamoto My paternal grandfather, Yoshimasa (Tom) Kawamoto, grew up in Vancouver. He was in high school during World War Two, and his parents, Koichi and Masuyo, had a confectionery on Powell Street. Koichi and Masuyo attempted to send their belongings to their former address before being sent to Greenwood internment camp, but they were caught by the British Columbia Security Commission and their belongings were taken. Maybe because of this, or perhaps for

some other reason, my great-grandfather was sent to the P.O.W. camp in Angler, Ontario, and he was not released until March of 1946. The rest of the family (Masuyo and seven children) were interned at Greenwood for the remainder of the war. The family reunited and settled in Hamilton, Ontario after the war.

Koyanagi My paternal grandmother, Chieko (Connie) Koyanagi, was from the Eburne area on Sea Island. Her father, Matashiro, worked at Acme Cannery, and the family lived in cannery-owned housing. Matashiro had a fishing boat, which the RCMP sold to a fisheries company for 25% less than its value in 1942. The Koyanagi family (Matashiro, wife Kisa and seven children) relocated to Chin, Alberta and then to Taber, Alberta, where they worked on a farm until the end of the war. After the war, they moved to Hamilton, Ontario.

www.landscapesofinjustice.com friends and relatives outside of the protected area did make their way back to the family rather than being sold. Kagetsu My maternal grandmother, Sachiko (Sachi) Kagetsu, was from Vancouver. Her father, Eikichi, was an entrepreneur who owned fishing boats, a train and train track, a logging company, and several other properties. Her mother, Toyo, worked as a housekeeper for Eikichi’s businesses. As they

Hyodo My maternal grandfather, Masao (Mas) Hyodo, was from Vancouver. His father, Hideichi, was an unemployed janitor, and his mother, Toshi, owned rental properties. At the time that the JapaneseCanadians had to register with the RCMP, two siblings had already moved to Ontario for work, and shortly after, two siblings moved to Montreal. Grandpa was permitted to finish his high school exams before moving to Hamilton to work as a house boy. His parents and youngest brother Toshio were sent to Kaslo before relocating to Montreal. His eldest sister, Hideko (Hide) stayed in British Columbia, first to teach at Hastings Park and then to run the education system in the internment camps. Grandpa and his brother Yoshio eventually joined the S-20 unit of the army, but since they didn’t speak Japanese they spent most of the time in language training and didn’t go overseas. After the war, Toshi and Hideichi reunited with three of their children in Hamilton, but the family never all lived in the same place after they left BC.

were a wealthy family, they were able to go to a self-supporting site when they were forced to leave the coast and they went to Minto City, with the exception of two of the eldest children who were in Japan. Most of the family eventually moved to Toronto.

Growing up, we had always thought that Grandma’s piano had been left with a trusted neighbour when the family was interned and then sent to them in Ontario later on. We didn’t find out about self-supporting sites, Throughout the war, Hide (on her mother’s behalf) or that the family had been in one, until my Aunt Margaret and I went on wrote to the Office of the Custodian to demand that the Internment Bus Tour in 2019.

Challenging Racist ,BritishColumbia, 150YearsandCounting In 1871, the white minority in the British colony of British Columbia negotiated a Terms of Union with the Dominion of Canada and joined the confederation. At the time, the population of BC was 70 percent indigenous, 25 percent white and five or six percent racialized – mostly Chinese, with a small Black population. It was during this period that small numbers of Japanese men began landing on these shores – newcomers in what was, essentially a white man’s province. In 2021, 150 years later, a new book and accompanying resources sheds a bright light on the racist underpinnings of British Columbia and the history of resistance and solidarity between communities arose in response. Challenging Racist “British Columbia”: 150 Years and Counting is coproduced by the UVIC History project Asian Canadians on Vancouver Island: Race, Indigeneity and the Transpacific and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives – BC Office. An open-access, multi-media resource, it documents how a recent cycle of anti-racist activism is part of a broader history of Indigenous, Black and other racialized communities challenging white supremacy for over 150 years – particularly since 1871 when BC joined Canada. Co-authored by activists & scholars from diverse communities, this resource will assist anti-racist educators, teachers, scholars, and policymakers in piercing the silences that too often have let racism fester in communities, corporations, and governments. The 80-page, fully illustrated 150YC booklet was released in February 2021, and can be accessed www.challengeracistbc.ca. Accompanying video content and an enhanced, interactive digital edition with direct links to primary sources, community-based resources, learning activities, and more will be available shortly.

“BRITISH COLUMBIA”? THE ATTEMPTED ETHNIC CLEANSING OF JAPANESE CANADIANS EXCERPT CHAPTER

Anti-Asian racism in British Columbia culminated during World War II in the uprooting, dispossession, and exile of Japanese Canadians, one of the gravest episodes in BC’s and Canada’s history. The successive punitive measures taken against the 21,000 Japanese Canadians, measures that continued for four years after the war, transcending the injustices to Japanese Americans, were not just a human rights abuse – they constituted an attempt to ethnically cleanse the province of those of Japanese heritage.

organized the Japanese Canadian Citizens’ League and began publishing the English-language newspaper The New Canadian. However, the Pacific War that began with Japan’s invasion of China in 1937 inflamed tensions, particularly between Chinese and Japanese Canadian communities. When Canada declared war against Japan after Pearl Harbor, some influential racists, including Hilda Glynn-Ward and Sidney D’Esterre of Comox, called for Japanese Canadians to be rounded up. But some opposed such measures.

The first-wave feminist Nellie McClung had begun to work with Japanese Canadian writers in the 1930s and defended them: “Canadian Japanese are not to blame for the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor …We The federal government was responsible for most of must have precautions, but not persecutions.” Muriel Kitagawa, a writer the laws behind this tragedy, but the real perpetrators for The New Canadian recorded: “The majority of the people are decent were those in BC who manipulated war fears to de- and fair-minded and they say so in letters and editorials.” mand the uprooting and pushed for the permanent expulsion of Japanese Canadians from the province, Immediately after Canada declared war on Japan, Ottawa passed reguas well as those who let it happen.

Having incarcerated the majority of Japanese Canadians in internment camps in the interior of BC, the government refused to take responsibility for educating school-age children, leaving it up to church groups and the internees themselves to set up makeshift schools. Many of the teachers were hastily trained community members, but there were also a number of non-Japanese Canadian teachers who took up the challenge.

pushing the federal government to persecute Japanese Canadians. BC premier at the time, John Hart, head of the newly formed Liberal-Conservative coalition, initiated the move to uproot: “When Attorney-General Maitland and I were in Ottawa before Christmas [1941], the seriousness of the Japanese problem was discussed with federal authorities, and officials were urged to remove the menace of Fifth Column activity.” Then BC cabinet minister George S. Pearson led a delegation to Ottawa that lobbied strenuously for the forcible removal of Japanese Canadians. Opposition from Lt. Gen. Maurice Pope and other federal officials led Pearson to declare that the BC government would not be supportive of federal policies. It was an ugly confrontation. Some people, including Laura Jamieson of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), spoke out publicly against racism directed at Japanese Canadians. In the provincial legislature, Grace MacInnis, the newly elected CCF representative for Vancouver-Burrard, made her inaugural speech, declaring that people were “completely deaf to the cries of race hatred that are now going up.” She emphasized that the CCF had “no intention of lending ourselves to this system of race hatreds, or any other Nazi-inspired hatreds.”

After returning to the coast, Shigekazu Matsunaga eventually found and bought back his beloved 36-foot, double-ender Soyokaze (Gentle Wind) that had been seized and sold during the war. It now sits as a featured outdoor exhibit at the Museum at Campbell River. Photo courtesy Museum at Campbell River.

Landscapes of Injustice continued As a yonsei who teaches grade six students about the JapaneseCanadians during World War Two, my family history helps to bring another level of authenticity to my teaching. I get to use documents from my family files to talk about belongings, loss, and injustice, and the students get to interact with real history — Japanese-Canadian history in general, but also my own family history. They are always shocked to learn how little money families received for their belongings after auction, and to see the various fees the government used to ensure they received even less. For example, my great-grandmother arranged for the sale of her property on her own, but she was still charged for valuation and advertising. During the unit, we also read from my great uncle’s journal, we look at maps and photographs, and the students ask me questions about my family.

and then experience many aspects of the internment era as my “family”. The simulation is always emotional for me, especially when my great-grandparents’ business is part of it, and it’s deeply meaningful for the students. This year’s group did a virtual Powell Street Simulation due to COVID protocols.

Another way that I bring my families’ lived experiences into my teaching is through a choose-your-ownadventure activity that I made, inspired by the stories of my ancestors and other Japanese Canadians during the war. This activity wraps up their learning by having them choose a character and then make the When we do the Powell Street Simulation activity, my grandparents’ decisions that the character would have had to make store is one of the properties so one student or group gets to create it to survive.

As we head into a long, strange, somewhat hopeful summer, I’d like to extend a thank you to our Bulletin partners, our contributors, our advertisers, the board of the GVJCCA and most of all our readers, for sticking with us over the past 16 or so months. When the lockdown slammed everything to a halt in March 2020, none of us knew what the future would bring in the near and long term, in some ways we still don’t. But there is hope in the air, even if it’s tempered with caution. Almost everyone I know has had their second shot of vaccine or is waiting for their turn. As I said to my family after I returned home after my second jab, it feels like a wartime mobilization. I’d also like to give a shout out to the many people in this community – and across communities – doing really important work in the field of human rights, activism, in community organizations, in the arts and many other fields. It never ceases to amaze me the level of activity that goes on across the country. One thing that impresses me as well, is the turning outwards of many in this community, from looking inwards to embracing our responsibilities as members of a broader community. It is a different kind of optimism from emerging from the pandemic, but no less important.

Presidents Message

Hello Members. As I write this message, the temperature inside and out is uncomfortably warm and today, Lytton’s temperature was the hottest in Canada’s history at 47.5 c! These new highs are all signs of climate change. We need to live and behave differently if we want these alarming changes to slow down. This situation cannot go on being ignored. We can see and feel how destructive and harmful climate change is. In the past month the GVJCCA wrote to the Muslim Association of Canada to extend our condolences regarding the killing of 4 members of the Afzaal Family in London, Ontario. The surviving boy has lost his loving family due to the despicable Islamophobic murder by a 20 year old who aimed his truck as

a lethal weapon. We know from the numbers of violent assaults experienced by Asian Canadians over the last year, that being unsafe in public spaces is an injustice. We stand with Muslim Canadians who are asserting their right to safety and calling on Canada to assure protection. All communities really must work, stand together and organize to overcome hate and racism. As we are approaching Canada Day, I will wear orange and stand with grieving Indigenous communities who call for justice, and accountability concerning the mounting death toll of Indian Residential School children who were buried in unmarked graves instead of being returned to their families and communities. It is time now to break down colonialism, identify and get rid of its systemic, institutionalized remnants which continue to function today in services such as policing, health care, justice and child welfare, and truly end ongoing inhumanities and injustices perpetrated upon Indigenous Peoples. Japanese Canadians must stand strong with them in their continued on page 24

JCCA continued call for Justice. Despite caring, compassionate messages from the prime minister, Canada’s actions consistently fall short. It is time to end this shameful situation. Let the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples carry real authority, be the guide and moral compass for all government relations and decisions concerning Indigenous communities and Peoples. Canada and the world has much to address and improve as we begin to move slowly out of the shadow of Covid 19. But as the world begins to examine and identify changes which are necessary to support pandemic prevention, a healthy living environment for all, there is a need at the same time, to guarantee our human relations do uphold human rights, equality and justice in actual practise. Racism, xenophobia, and hate are resilient social cancers which may be removed but may also return, so overcoming will require ongoing work and organization by governments, antiracist, and anti-hate communities, and all societies today and in the future. As Indigenous people say, “Our children are our greatest resource’ so our work today and tomorrow is to do what we can to ensure our grandchildren will be able to live in a physically and socially safe and healthy environment . The GVJCCA congratulates the Powell Street Festival Society for organizing another spectacular online event. PSFS also does great work in the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood in support of the health and well-being of its various communities and residents. Good Work Powell Street Festival Society! We miss the Festival and hope we will be back together in 2022. Also don’t forget that the GVJCCA Annual General Meeting is taking place on August 14, 2021 from 1 to 3. The GVJCCA Board is looking at having a combined zoom and physical meeting at Nikkei Centre. We have confirmation the meeting will be in the Matsu Room upstairs. Please plan to attend so you can receive our reports on this past year’s activities and elect new and incumbent board members. We need your presence. Thank you.

BRINGING VJLS-JH S LIBRARY INTO THE DIGITAL AGE: AN INTERVIEW WITH NOBU KAWAGUCHI Originally from Mie, Japan, Nobu Kawaguchi is VJLSJH’s newest library consultant. She’s been hired to help revitalize, digitize, and improve the state of our collection of over 47,000 Japanese books.

experience with English tiles. Here, maybe 99% is in Japanese. It is a big learning process. Hopefully, in a few months, we’ll be able to set up our ILS and install a computer and start cataloguing and organizing so people can use our system online.

Thank you for taking the time to let us to interview you! Would you please provide a brief introduction of you and your position at VJLS-JH? I started in this position about a month ago. Before that, I was a student at Langara College studying in the Library and Information Technology Program for two years. It was a great experience and I enjoyed my studies a lot. When I found this job posting, it was great timing - I was about to graduate from my program and one of my instructors recommended that I apply. I was so excited that I had an interview and was eventually hired. So far, I enjoy the work I am doing [at VJLSJH]. However, it is really challenging for me. Luckily, I have lots of support from the team here, as well as advising from Japanese studies librarian at UBC or instructors from Langara. I am learning a lot every single day.

How long will the whole project take? It is definitely a long process. As you see [motions to piles of books in the library], we have a lot of backlogs. We will need lots of time to do all the cataloging. I am glad we have lots of volunteers who can help us with this process! Cataloging isn’t an easy task, but we can make it simple and try to add as many items as possible.

Could you describe the project you are working on as our library consultant? This project is really interesting. We are essentially setting up a library from scratch. All we have is our book collection data in an excel spreadsheet with limited information. Unfortunately, in this document, the ISBN* is not included. There is lots left to do to make the collection digitized. The first step in this process is to set up a digital platform. I am currently working on selection the right ILS* for us. This is taking quite some time because there’s so many different kinds! Each library has different needs. I’d like to see what people expect of us and choose the right one. Another challenge is cataloguing our collection. I only have

What do you hope for the future of the VJLS-JH library? I think it would be great if we could make better spaces for kids and adults to read. For example, for kids – make some space where they can play and read while their siblings finish their language classes. For adults – I know many users come to the library to read, study, do research or relax – so it would be nice if we could have more tables. For programming, maybe some story times or workshops that we could offer! Eventually, to have a self-check-in, check-out kiosk would be great. I would like it to be an easy process for people to sign in, sign out and look up our collection. I would also like to have more people – not only from the school, but from outside of the community. It’s such a unique place – nowhere else nearby has as many Japanese titles in Vancouver! It would be good if we could promote the library and have more people who are interested in Japanese culture and language to come to us. Any last comments or things you’d like to share? I would like to hear more opinions from our users or potential users as to what they expect from the library. Since we are still at the beginning, we can make things possible if there’s certain requests. I would like to accommodate as much as possible. I also would like to thank our library volunteer members who have been helping us maintain our library for many years; it was and will be impossible to keep our library running without their support. If you have any thoughts, ideas or questions regarding VJLS-JH’s new library project, please email Nobu at library@vjls-jh.com continued on page 37

If you’re reading this, then you survived the heat wave. In June. Which seems crazy to me, but hey, we made it. High-fives all around. This city really doesn’t like extreme weather; we don’t build for it, we don’t plan for it, and when it happens we go all of a doodah. After all, one of the reasons we’re on the West Coast is because we don’t like extreme weather, no? We made it through – me, two kids and two dogs - by going to a pet-friendly hotel and Justin made it by going camping and sitting in a lawn chair in Alouette Lake which has no cell phone reception. When he got back - after I’d paid for two nights at the hotel – he suddenly remembered an old portable air-conditioning unit that was sitting in the garage, hauled it out, and put it to work, which it does with much wheezing and loud complaint at being recalled from retirement. (I’m happy about this but also a little annoyed about the timing.) Now if it’s super hot we’ll have air con! The dogs approve. They liked the hotel air conditioning but when people started moving in the hallways at 7am they started barking to red-flag INTRUDERS!! oh, sorry, we were wrong, never mind – and it was a nightmare of early-morning shushing. So the second night they stayed with daddy at home and the girls and I had a long, cool, lovely sleep. I hope everyone is also having nice cool sleeps now that the severe heat is over. But we’re told to brace for another one so… search the garage. John tells me - yesterday - that this is the Powell Street Festival issue, which would have been good to know about a month ago, as we have no specifically Powell Street type recipes to share here. My tips? I mean, besides doing one’s work BEFORE the eve of deadline? Try furikake on hot buttered corn on the cob, and don’t forget to salt your hands when making onigiri. If we have our festivals next year, I’ll be there with bells – and yukata – on! Unless it’s during a heat wave, obviously. Then just the bells. Mom wanted me to share some information regarding a plant-based diet and Covid. The British Medical Journal published the result of a study of 2884 health care workers from six different countries. The subjects

reported their diet habits over two months during the Covid pandemic. The researchers found that those individuals who ate the most plant foods, like vegetarians, were much less likely to suffer moderate or severe Covid symptoms. Fish eaters did not fare quite as well but were still much less likely to suffer severe Covid symptoms compared to those who ate less plant foods, consuming more land animals instead. So, added incentive to eat a more plant-based diet. I’m not sure why this would be but maybe Covid doesn’t like beans? Actually, I suspect that people who eat more plant foods are more conscious of making healthy choices across the board and are more likely to exercise, eschew alcohol and tobacco, etc. So on that note, let me introduce July’s Covid-repellent plant-based food. . .

Vegetarian Burritos! I got this recipe from my friend Anita who is very health conscious and makes lovely, creative and delicious vegetarian meals for her family. It’s a three-pronged recipe: a black bean filling, fajita vegetables, and an avocado crema that pulls it all together. It’s a good meal that doesn’t need you to turn on the oven. Phase 1: Spiced Black Bean Filling 2 tsp oil ½ sweet or red onion, chopped finely (the other half is for the fajita veggie mixture) 1 garlic clove, minced 1 T. taco seasoning OR a homemade mixture of: 1 T. chili powder ½ T. cumin ½ t. garlic powder ¼ t. red pepper flakes ½ t. oregano ½ t. salt 1 t. pepper 1 T. adobo sauce (I get cans of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, puree them, then freeze in 1-tablespoon-sized blobs and I used one of these blobs for this recipe.) 1 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed Saute the garlic and onion in the oil over medium-high heat, add the spices and adobo, let sizzle briefly but don’t burn. Add black beans and maybe ¼ c. of water, stir well, mashing a few beans if you like, and let simmer on low. Whilst it’s simmering, prepare the next phase:

Phase II: Avocado Crema 1-2 ripe avocados 1 c. cilantro leaves ½ c. sour cream or greek yogurt 1 clove garlic ½ jalapeno pepper (optional), seeded and with ribs removed Juice of one lime or lemon ¼ tsp salt

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until the butter is evenly cut in, then add the egg and vanilla, continue cutting in until well incorporated. The mix will be very crumbly and almost dry looking. (You can use a food processor to do this.) Divide the crumbly mix, press half into the prepared pan. Save the other half.

Sprinkle the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon rind on the berries, mix lightly. Spread this over the base; it should Put it all in the food processor and whiz it, scraping down sides periodically. cover the base in one layer. Sprinkle any remaining Mmmm creamy goodness. sugar mix evenly on top and then sprinkle the lemon Check the beans. Then prep the next phase: juice on top of that. Phase III: Fajita Veggies

Cover the berry layer with the remaining crumbs, spreading evenly and press lightly. Bake for 45 minutes. ½ onion, red or sweet, finely sliced with the grain It should be brown on the edges and lightly brown on 1 zucchini, in strips (cut diagonally then cut the diagonal slices into strips) top. Let cool well. Cut into squares. 1 red or yellow pepper or combination, cut into strips These can also be served, cut a bit larger, as a dessert Pinch of salt and pepper with vanilla ice cream. (Or you can serve yourself a Saute in oil like you’re making fajitas. Onion first, then the other veg. Just little one every time you walk by the pan, as I do.) This recipe also works well with frozen berries, and treated nice and sizzling, season lightly. the same way; do not thaw the berries. Bake for another Assembly! 6-8 large flour tortillas - we used the spinach ones and they 10 minutes or about 55 minutes total if using frozen. worked out well. Happy July! Don’t forget to get up at 4am to water your Beans, veg, sauce, and then any other additions you like. Around here we garden on your designated day! like cheese and some salsa. Sour cream too but the avocado crema is a creamy component so it’s not really necessary. We also found the avocado crema to be mighty fine for dipping tortilla chips into and crunching up ☑ Personal care with the great enjoyment of repurposing leftovers. Also good on toast ☑ Household chores under a poached egg. Mom brought over these amazing blueberry squares. SO DELISH. And then she sent me the recipe and now I know why they’re so good. Butter city. So I’m partaking sparingly but it’s difficult because honestly, they’re so good.

Blueberry Squares 3 cups all purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla Filling: 4 cups blueberries ½ cup sugar 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 Tablespoon grated lemon rind 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice Grease a 13” x 9” baking pan.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

by Lorene Oikawa Finally, there is some light after our dark year with the pandemic. We still must be cautious, because of the variants and those who are not vaccinated yet, but we are moving forward in our next steps. Unfortunately, we are still being challenged. We are dealing with extreme weather which seems to be even earlier this year. It has meant another threat to vulnerable populations who are having challenges finding respite and keeping hydrated. We have put out reminders on social media to check on family, friends and neighbours who live alone or at risk. The extreme heat is also damaging crops and increasing the risk of wildfires. Scientific studies point to more frequent or more intense extreme weather with climate change. Human cause is also believed to be what started the fire that destroyed the town of Lytton BC during the recent heatwave. Lytton recorded the highest temperature ever seen in Canada for three consecutive days with the highest temperature at 49.6 C. We are also standing in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. Their communities are in mourning with the discovery of 215 unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School and 751 unmarked graves near the former Marieval Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan. In Cranbrook BC, 182 unmarked burial sites were found in a community cemetery close to the former residential school at St. Eugene’s Mission. It has not been established whether the graves contain the remains of the children who attended the residential school. However, it is still painful news. We know that many more children did not return home and we support First Nations’ work to find those children and the implementation of the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). http://trc.ca/assets/pdf/Calls_to_ Action_English2.pdf

them as allies. As allies, we will help amplify Indigenous voices for truth and justice. We also urge individuals to take meaningful action by learning about the history of Indigenous peoples and the TRC Calls to Action. We can provide a visible show of support by wearing orange at events and commemorations such as the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples on August 9. For anyone in Canada who is experiencing pain or distress because of their Residential School experience, please know there is support through the Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line 1-866-925-4419, available 24-hours a day. Our work to stop hate continues in other areas. We will join in the celebration of Pride taking place throughout the summer. We will be continuing our work along with other community representatives as part of the UBC Steering Committee on the National Forum on AntiAsian Racism that took place in June. The recordings and some resources are posted on the event page https://events.ubc.ca/national-forum-on-antiasian-racism/ The steering committee will be assisting with a final report based on the outputs of the Forum. Our online sessions for July include the NAJC and the Landscapes of Injustice (LOI) presenting the LOI Research Database and Family Story Sharing in association with the Powell Street Festival. When we first offered the sessions, the database was in production. LOI Project Manager Michael Abe will demonstrate the completed database so that you can use it to find out information about your families.

University of British Columbia Library seeks WWII internee letter writers from Queen Elizabeth Secondary School in Surrey, BC and their families The University of British Columbia Library has a collection of almost 150 letters, dated 1941 – 1988, written to Joan Parolin (née Gillis) from her Japanese Canadian friends and acquaintances, who attended Queen Elizabeth Secondary School in Surrey, BC with Joan. The majority of the correspondence took place from 1942 to 1946, with different friends writing from farms and work camps in Northern British Columbia, Manitoba, and Alberta. The letters provide insight into the forced dispersal of Japanese Canadians in the 1940s and gave us a poignant and sometimes heartbreaking glimpse into the life of young Japanese Canadians during this dark period.

At the End of the Day, written by and starring award-winning Canadian stage and screen veteran, Brenda Kamino, shines a light on one Japanese Canadian woman’s epic lifelong journey, her resilience and humour through her many upheavals. This piece is a true story from Brenda Kamino’s own family – from the wartime stories through to the experience of living in a long term care facility. The Fringe is an ideal place to tell this story as it always attracts viewers from a myriad of backgrounds; this piece addresses not only the plight of seniors but anyone who might find themselves relocated due to circumstances beyond their control. Also featuring Dawn Obokata, Elley Ray, Raoul Bhaneja Directed by Brenley Charkow

Filmed & edited by Bonnie Anderson The festival will present works from acclaimed Sound design by Lyon Smith Canadian artists including Wen Wei Dance, Radical System Art/Shay Kuebler, Rachel Meyer, Inverso Productions/Lesley Telford, Dumb Instrument Dance/ Ziyian Kwan, Alexis Fletcher/Vanessa Goodman, Future Throughout July and August 1 Leisure/Julianne Chapple, Company Ci/Gabrielle 45th Annual Powell Street Festival Martin, CAMP, Kirsten Wicklund, Shion Skye Carter & Live and online: powellstreetfestival.com Kisyuu, Peter Smida, and many more.

OUR EDIBLE ROOTS

The Japanese Canadian Kitchen Garden

July Summer – Our Circle of Market Supports Grows Larger by Makiko Suzuki

was struck by the kindness of one elderly Issei farmer, Tokutaro Tsyuki. He was gifting neighbouring farms yellow plum saplings, informing the sweet fruit made an excellent treat for children. She fondly remembered the tender care that Tokutaro took to prepare and nurture the young saplings into young trees. In June, while visiting the Mikurube farm to harvest fuki, TGGC volunteers met with son Gary who now looks after the farm. The homestead and farm is now an oasis of calm and peace within a bustling suburban neighbourhood. Tokutaro’s plum tree, currently laden with ripening fruit, continues to stand proud. Mikurube-san carried forward Tokutaro’s legacy of generosity; over 25 years Shizuko donated vegetables from her greenhouse and volunteered at Tonari Gumi. The next Mikurube generation has carried the torch. Gary’s fuki and vegetables and sister Emmy’s wonderful Japanese doriyaki, manji and other treats are regularly contributed to Tonari Gumi. Thank you so much! Your mother would be very proud! Sadly, Shizuko Mikurube passed away in March, during her 91st year. Thank you, Mikurube-san!

In the Garden and at the Market Sharon Hara and TG GC volunteers at Aldergrove Farm

On June 13, in spite of a downpour of rain, eager gardeners came out in force and visited the Tonari Gumi Garden Club booth at the first Farmers Market at The Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre in Burnaby. Mountain foraged warabi (bracken fern shoots), fresh Mikurube Farm fuki, TGGC raised Japanese tomato plants, and other Japanese vegetable starts sold out quickly. Also popular were copies of the TGGC book: Our Edible Roots: The Japanese Canadian Kitchen Garden. (See: “In the Garden and at the Market” for a preview of what will be available at the TGGC booth at the Farmers Market at Nikkei Centre on July 22nd.) A special treat available on July 22nd will be sweet yellow plums from a ‘legacy tree’ at Mikurube Farm. The story of this tree, as told by Mrs. Shizuko Mikurube, is presented in “Our Edible Roots”. A synopsis: In 1950, when Japanese Canadians were finally returning to the coast Nakazo and Shizuko Mikurube purchased farmland in Surrey. Mikurube-san mentioned that shortly after English cucumbers were introduced to Canada they were amongst the first to construct greenhouses for growing them. Connecting with other returning Japanese Canadian farmers she

The late June heat wave and typical July weather will ‘lift off ’ spring plantings. Summer vegetables like squash, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes will start to produce fruit in July. Careful watering, fertilizing and harvesting are important to keep plants producing. Red and green shiso plants, Japanese vegetables, herb starts for fall harvest, and varieties of traditional over-wintering negi – fat shanked Japanese green onions (sweet and delicious for winter hot pots) – can be sourced from the TGGC booth on July 22nd market. Japanese vegetable seedlings: Ippon Negi - from West Coast Seeds, Nabechan - from Johnny’s Select Seeds and Shimonita Negi- from Kitazawa Seed Company. Evergreen White Bebuka starts and copies of “Our Edible Roots” will also be on offer. Green shiso plants sold out in the June market. More surprising was interest shown by non-Japanese Canadian buyers in red shiso. (Red shiso tea has become very popular. Many recipes and endorsements of health benefits of red shiso tea can be found on the Internet.) In a stroke of timely good fortune Aiko Johnson (nee Kuromi) dropped by the June market specifically to offer TGGC red shiso plants currently growing in her backyard. (Her delightful backyard is a dense carpet of red shiso inter-mixed with vegetables). Aiko’s daughter, Kim, mentioned that several years ago, after sampling TGGC red shiso ice tea at the Powell Street festival, her mother was motivated to grow red shiso and make tea for her entire family. A summer family tradition began! TGGC is delighted for the donation of red shiso plants, now potted and ready for sale on July 22nd. More good fortune - Village Vancouver gifted TGGC surplus plants for distribution among members, Sharon Haro kindly

organized a plot of land in Aldergrove for use by TGGC and further offered to tend the subsequentlyplanted garden, and TG Community Services Manager, Masako Arima, has invited TGGC to her bountiful garden Red Shiso Tea in Mission to pick beautiful organic cherries and vegetables that were sold at the June 27th Farmers Market . A big thank you goes to Eddie Hayashi, for market setup and growing support, Larry Okada, David Issawa, Mamiko Van Horn as drivers, and Eddie, Michiko, Atsumi, Mamiko, Larry, David and Jane, Mayumi, Samiko, Mr. Kano, Tracy and Miki for their help in the gardens and at the market.

A final note to community members: Thank you for your support through purchase of products, plants and books. These funds assist the programs and services at Tonari Gumi – the Japanese Community Volunteer Association. TG GC will be at the fourth Sundays of the month markets – see you then!

Watada continued the core of the city. The Kubota family moved to Kitsilano in the late 1930s. The neighbours accepted him readily. It helped that he could speak English by that point, and he had received the Military Cross for his valour at Vimy Ridge. He had found in Kitsilano a one-storey house, small with two bedrooms and a peaked centre bump-up for an even smaller attic. But there was a basement and a substantial backyard. Waterloo Street, off Point Grey Rd., looked out on Burrard Inlet with the mountains in the distance. Nobu and Hideko were quite happy. Every morning, the family had breakfast together. Bacon and eggs for Nobu and Hideko, cereal for the kids. Afterwards, Mike and Patricia (Pat), as they liked to be called, packed up their books and walked to the nearby elementary school. Hideko cleaned up, thinking about the tasks of the day, and Nobu, dressed in a dark three-piece suit, took the trolley to Soga’s. The only thing he missed was the enka in his neighbourhood. Then things began to change. To be continued.

President’s Message by Eddy Takayanagi エディ・タカヤナギ

On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff and volunteers, I am pleased to welcome you to the 45th Annual Powell Street Festival. We hope that you are safe and healthy as we navigate through these unprecedented times. This year’s Festival is not occurring as a public gathering event but in response to the public health guidelines we have adapted our programming and offerings so that audience members can participate in activities and enjoy performances throughout the month of July from the comfort of your home or in your neighborhood bubbles.

The Festival has deep historic ties to the Paueru Gai neighborhood, located on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh people. While it saddens us that we are unable to meet in the neighborhood to strengthen our relationship with the current residents and demonstrate the resilience of our community, the spirit of Powell Street Festival is carried inside every one of our festival goers and community groups. The past year has demonstrated our connection as a community and this year’s Festival lets us celebrate separated physically but united in spirit. People can download and access the aspects of the Festival they love and host their own miniFestival wherever they are. We have an incredible array of artists, performers and groups who have risen to this unique challenge of celebrating Japanese Canadian art and culture in a wide variety of ways. The Festival Website is the hub from which you can access and enjoy downloadable on-demand content and DIY workshops, sign-up for some space-limited in-person activities, order food or locally-made crafts from our community partners, purchase our annual Festival Lottery Tickets and connect with us during some live Zoom check-ins during the BC Day Long Weekend.

We hope you will join us in the celebration of Japanese Canadian art and culture connecting and uniting us. Use the #powellstfest hashtag to spotlight your activities and how you are participating this year. We envision a rippling of good festival vibes echoing throughout the land from the hashtag. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to connecting.

会長の挨拶理事会、スタッフ、ボランティアを代表して、私はこの前例のない時代の中、みなさんが安全、健康であることを願っています。

理事会、スタッフ、ボランティアを代表して、第45回パウエル祭の歓迎のあいさつができることをうれしく思います。この前例のない時代を通り抜けるなか、みなさんが安全で健康であることを願っています。

今年の祭りは、公共の催しとしては開催されませんが、公衆衛生ガイドラインに対応して、視聴者が自宅や近所のバブル中で快適に7 月中、活動に参加しパフォーマンスを楽しめるように、プログラム作成と提供物を適合しました。

祭りは、マスクイアム、スコーミッシュ、ツレイルワトゥースの人々の譲渡されていない領土にあるパウエル街地区と深い歴史的な繋がりがあります。現在の住民との関係を強化し、コミュニティの回復力を示すためにパウエル街で会うことができないのは残念ですが、パウエル祭の精神は、祭りの参加者やコミュニティグループの皆さんの心のなかにあります。昨年は、コミュニティとしての我々のつながりを示し、今年の祭りでは、物理的には離れていますが、精神的には団結して祝うことができます。参加者は、どこにいても、自分が好きな祭りのアスペクトにアクセスし、ダウンロードして、各自、ミニフェスティバルを開催することができます。

日系カナダ人の芸術と文化をさまざまな方法で祝うというこのユニークな挑戦に立ち上がった素晴らしいアーティスト、パフォーマー、グループが勢揃いします。祭りのウェブサイトでは、ダウンロード可能な需要に応じたコンテンツやDIYワークショップにアクセスして楽しんだり、スペースに限りのある対面活動への登録を行ったり、コミュニティパートナーからの食べ物や、地元で作られた工芸品の注文をしたり、また、毎年恒例の祭りの宝くじチケットが購入もでき、BCデーの連休中にはライブでのズームチェックインの間に我々と繋がることができます。

私たちを結び、団結させる日系カナダ人の芸術と文化の祝賀への皆さんの参加を楽しみにしています。#powellstfestのハッシュタグを使って、あなたの活動と今年、どのように祭りに参加しているかにスポットライトを向けてください。ハッシュタグからお祭りの雰囲気が全土に波打って広がっていくことを期待しています。

いつも応援してくださり、ありがとうございます。皆さんと繋がれることを楽しみにしています。

PowellStFest Community Care Programs パウエル祭のコミュニティ・ケア・プログラム Since our pandemic pivot and the success of our Telethon last year, we have been supporting Downtown Eastside grassroots efforts to build capacity and sustain people’s well-being during the health crises of Covid19 and fentanyl overdoses. Our support continues to fund the weekday preparation and delivery of 200 daily meals through the WePress Community Kitchen and a weekly grocery delivery program to 100 Chinese seniors thanks to the generosity of Bing Ho’s family and friends and the SRO Collaborative’s distribution network.

昨年のパンデミック対策とテレソンの成功以来、私たちは、Covid19とフェンタニルの過剰摂取という健康上の危機に面している人々のため、収容可能人数を確保し、彼らの健康を維持し、イーストサイドのダウンタウンの草の根活動を支援してきました。また、ビン・ホさんのご家族やご友人、そしてSRO Collaborativeの流通ネットワークのご好意により、平日にWePress Community Kitchenで毎日200食の食事を作り、配達するプログラムや、中国の高齢者100人に毎週食料品を配達するプログラムにも継続して支援を行っています。 We are presently exploring micro-programs to empower tenants in historic Japanese Canadian SROs (single room occupancy housing) with resources and projects from communal cooking to building repairs to improve living conditions, impart new skills and build community.

私たちは現在、日系カナダ人の歴史的なSRO（一人部屋住宅）の入居者を対象に、生活環境の改善、新しいスキルの習得、コミュニティの構築を目的とした、共同炊事や建物の修繕などの資源やプロジェクトを提供するマイクロプログラムを検討しています。 During the festival weekend, PSF volunteers and DTES community ambassadors will distribute 250 care packages to unhoused and precariously housed people living in the historic Paueru Gai/Powell Street neighborhood. The need for housing for all is at the core of basic needs for those we support through our Community Care programs. Much more/ thousands of units of decent housing at the social assistance rental rate are required so that people can have the stability they need to address the many challenges they are facing. We thank the City of Vancouver for its financial support through a Homelessness Action Week grant.

フェスティバルの週末には、PSFのボランティアとDTESのコミュニティ・アンバサダーが、歴史的なパウエル街地区に住む、住居のない方や不安定な居住状態にある方に250個のケアパッケージを配布します。すべての人に住居を提供することは、私たちがコミュニティ・ケア・プログラムを通じて支援している人々の根本的なニーズの核をなすものです。人々が直面している多くの課題に対処するために必要な安定性を得るためには、社会扶助による賃貸料で質の良い住宅をさらに何千戸も提供する必要があります。ホームレス・アクション・ウィークの助成金を提供してくださったバンクーバー市の支援に感謝致します。

The Giving Ceremony, performed at the 43rd Powell Street Festival, to honour our ancestor’s connection to the Powell Street area and acknowledge the larger narrative of displacement that continues today. 第43回パウエル祭で行われたギビングセレモニーは、パウエル街と先祖のつながりを称えるとともに、今日まで続いている強制移住のより大きな物語を認識するためのものです。

Our community engagement programs provide meaningful and sustainable connection to the historic location of the early Japanese settlers prior to their forced removal during the Second World War. Through our practice of social justice, we honour this heritage while seeking to be accountable as settler-colonizers and acknowledging the larger narrative of displacement and injustices on these unceded territories of the Tsleil- Waututh, Squamish, and Musqueam peoples.

このようなプログラムを通じてこそ、パウエル祭は日系開拓移民が第二次世界大戦で強制移住させられる以前に住んでいた地域との関係を意義ある、長期的なものにすることができます。社会正義の活動を通して、我々は自分たちの遺産を祝福しながらも、開拓移住者として、入植者としての責任をもち、ツレイワトゥース、スコーミッシュ、マスクイアムの人々の譲渡されていない領土において今日まで継続する強制移住と不正義の歴史を認識します。

Jody Okabe

Okabe | オカベ This piece is an honouring, a prayer, a love song, and reclamation of heart. This multidisciplinary project is an audio-visual exploration into finding one’s voice with love and care despite the ongoing legacies of dispossession and theft that continue to silence BIPOC voices and stories. This piece is in honour of Jody Okabe’s great grandparents Taki and Denjiro Okabe. Ruby Singh was born in the Crow’s Nest Pass and now calls the lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ/ Selilwitulh Nations (Vancouver BC) home. Singh’s creativity crosses the boundaries of music, poetry, visual art, photography and film. His expressions engage with mythos, memory, identity, justice and fantasy; where the surreal can shatter the boundaries of the real. As a composer and sound designer he has worked with theatre and dance companies across Canada, as well as creating numerous scores for the National Film Board and other independent films to critical acclaim. Singh’s personal and collaborative works have been presented across Turtle Island, India, Germany and the UK. www.rubysingh.ca Jody Okabe is a Tsimshian, Japanese, and French Indigiqueer born and raised on Tsimshian, Tse’khene and Takla Territory. She first discovered her voice in her late 20s through organizing community open mic nights with friends. Since then Jody has graced the stages of festivals such as Manifesto, Vines, Heart of the City, and accompanied Arcade Fire at the 2018 Junos. She currently resides in Vancouver, the unceded, ancestral, and occupied, traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Watuth), Stó:lō, Shíshálh (Sechelt) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations of the Coast Salish peoples.

Kazuma Glen Motomura カズマ・グレン本村一真, Berlin/Tokyo-based Japanese and South African experimental dance artist, and Sammy Chien 簡上翔, Vancouver/Taipei-based Taiwanese-Canadian interdisciplinary media artist, investigate the intergenerational dialogue on artistic, cultural and spiritual legacy. They enter a ritual of listening, learning and processing the past to honour it and then to re-integrate the discoveries into the here and now.

Both artists are children of immigrant artists, dancing through a spiritual poem that delineates the impermanence of lineage, enrichment of absence and the invisible divisions that connects us in a deeper layer. This research phase examines the Japanese divine architecture, kanji characters and personal memories that embeds a sense of lineage, ancestry and legacy in relation with the complex world of colonialism, sociopolitical division and the spiritual nature of humanism.

ベルリンと東京を拠点に活動する日系・南アフリカ系カナダ人のエクスペリメンタル・ダンス・アーティスト、カズマ・グレン本村一真と、バンクーバーと台北を拠点に活動する台湾系カナダ人の学際的メディア・アーティスト、簡上翔は、芸術的、文化的、精神的な遺産に関する世代間の対話について調査しています。彼らは、過去に耳を傾け、学び、理解することで敬意を表し、その発見を今ここにあるものに再統合するという儀式を行います。

二人のアーティストは、移民のアーティストの子供であり、血筋の非永久性、不在の豊かさ、そしてより深い層で私たちをつなぐ目に見えない分節を描き出すスピリチュアルな詩を通して踊ります。この研究段階では、血統、先祖、遺産を埋め込む日本の神々しい建築物、漢字、私的な記憶を、植民地主義、社会的政治的分断、ヒューマニズムの精神的性質といった複雑な世界との関係において調査しています。

From the Prairies to the Pacific Rim | Erica Isomura フロム・ザ・プレーリー・トゥ・ザ・パシフィックリム｜エリカ・イソムラ From the Prairies to the Pacific Rim is a creative immersive soundscape, echoing Spatial Poetics of Powell Street Festival's past. Artists Emily Riddle, Rita Wong, E. Hiroko Isomura, and host Sacha Ouellet trace their respective ancestries, activism, and creative endeavors from amiskwaciwâskahikan in the Prairies, across the Rockies, and into the Salish Sea. Through this auditory experience, audience members are invited to journey downriver along the stó:lō, a waterway that Japanese immigrant-settler fishers once came to know as one of the greatest salmon bearing rivers in the world. This artist conversation and poetic experience connects listeners with the spirit of language, land, water, and, ultimately, one another. Hosted by Sacha Ouellet. Produced and curated by E. Hiroko Isomura with funding from the Province of BC and support from Powell Street Festival Society. particularly as they overlap.

The New Canadians (preview) |Carolyn Nakagawa ザ・ニュー・カナディアンズ（予告編）｜キャロリン・ナカガワ

Carolyn Nakagawa presents a video preview of an upcoming musical, The New Canadians, which is inspired by the true story of a grassroots Japanese Canadian newspaper with the same name. The New Canadian was founded in the late 1930s within the heart of the Powell Street neighbourhood, located in the New World building on the corner of Powell and Dunlevy Street from 1939-1942. This piece celebrates and interrogates the idealism and achievements of their young staff, both on Powell Street and as they were forcibly scattered into different lives, continuing in various ways as exemplary Canadian citizens during and after Japanese Canadian internment. This trailer-video will give some contemporary context to the piece, and present its opening number in a minimalistic, black-box environment as a teaser of the full production to come.

Carolyn Nakagawa is a fourth-generation Japanese-Anglo Canadian playwright, poet, and cultural organizer. Carolyn works in partnership with composer, music director, educator, and musical improviser, Peter Abando. Their creative team includes dramaturg Joanna Garfinkel, performers Brent Hirose, Kaitlyn Yott, and Chris Lam, stage manager Jillian Perry, set dressing by Laura Fukumoto, and videographer Christian Y. Jones. This project was made possible with support and funding from Canada Council for the Arts, BC Arts Council, Firehall Arts Centre, Touchstone Theatre, and the Powell Street Festival.

Sho and Yana-imi | ショウとヤナイミ This video combines uta-sanshin, spoken word and elemental images to invoke a dialogue with our uyafaafuji, known and unknown. This homage to severed connection will expand upon previous live performances Sho and Yana-imi have done within the Uchinaanchu community. From the dense rainforest of memory, strange images and sounds present themselves. Our uyafaafuji (ancestors in Okinawan language) appear to intervene in our daily lives. They refuse to let us forget, refuse to let us compromise and refuse to let us live restrained by the laws of the nations that seek to claim us. Sho and Yana-imi are a spoken word/uta-sanshin duo based on the lands of the WSANEC/Lekwungen and Tongva Peoples respectively. Their work prioritizes the creation of immersive sonic soundscapes accompanied by visual media to convey stories that weave a lifeline to their island roots. Together, they call on their ancestors’ guidance to tell stories of yearning, loss and recovery from a shimanchu (Ryūkyūan) perspective.

ために、歌三線、話し言葉及び元素画像が使用されています。そして、これは、ショウとヤナイミがすでに他界している祖先の人々に対し敬意を込めて、ウチナーンチュのコミュニティで行ってきたライブパフォーマンスをさらに発展させたものです。不思議な映像と音が、鬱蒼とした記憶の森の中から現れます。私たちのウヤファーフジ（沖縄の言葉で祖先の意味）は、私たちの日常生活に介入してくるようです。彼らは、私たちが忘れたり、妥協したり、また私たちを定義づける国の法律に拘束されて生きることを拒んでいます。ショウとヤナイミは、WSANEC/LekwungenとTongvaの両民族の土地を拠点に活動する話し言葉/歌三線のデュオです。彼らの作品は、自分たちのルーツである島へのライフラインを紡ぐ物語を伝えるために、映像によって没入感のあるサウンドスケープを創り出すことに重点を置いています。彼らは、祖先からの指導を仰ぎ、島人（琉球人）の視点から憧れ、喪失及び回復までの物語を共に語ります。

Autumn Strawberries June 26 – August 28, Tuesday and Thursday 4PM – 7PM, Saturday 10AM – 3 PM Cindy Mochizuki – Autumn Strawberry Location: Surrey Art Gallery Registration Required: Contact Surrey Art Gallery www.surrey.ca/news-events/events/surrey-art-gallery-exhibition-visits 2021年6月26日から8月28日までの毎週火曜日と木曜日は午後 4時から7時まで、毎週土曜日は午前10時から午後3時までシンディーモチズキ - オータムストロベリー（秋の苺）場所：スーリーアートギャラリー登録必要：スーリーアートギャラリーに連絡をして下さい www.surrey.ca/news-events/events/surrey-art-gallery-exhibition-visits

Cindy Mochizuki’s Autumn Strawberry uses hand-painted and digital animation to create an experience of life on Japanese Canadian farms before WWII. Emerging from her 2019 residency at the Surrey Art Gallery where she interviewed Nisei and Sansei (second and third generation) Japanese Canadians whose family worked on farms in the Fraser Valley, and this project explores farm life, as well as the “dream of riches” held by many Issei (first-generation) Japanese Canadians, deforestation, and the future. This installation features a 60-minute immersive hand-painted digital animation projected on the gallery wall and small-scale interactive sculptures scattered throughout.

#powellstfest

シンディー・モチズキの「オータムストロベリー（秋の苺）」は、第二次世界大戦前の日系カナダ人の農場生活での経験を、手描き及びデジタルアニメーションを使用して描いています。作者は、 2019 年にスーリーアートギャラリーにて、フレーザーバレーで農作業をしていた日系カナダ人一世と二世にインタービューする事によって、多くの日系カナダ人一世達が持っていた「富の夢」、森林伐採及び将来も含めた農場生活に付いて探求しました。この作品の特徴は、60分間の没入型の手描きデジタルアニメがギャラリーの壁に投影されたり、また小規模な彫刻がギャラリー全体に散りばれられている事です。 June 26 – August 28 Tuesday/Thursday 4PM – 7PM, Saturday 10AM – 3PM Henry Tsang – Hastings Park Location: Surrey Art Gallery Registration Required: Contact Surrey Art Gallery www.surrey.ca/news-events/events/surrey-art-gallery-exhibition-visits 6月26日から8月28日までの毎週火曜日と木曜日は午後4時から7時まで、毎週土曜日は午前10時から午後3時まで Henry Tsang - ヘイスティングパーク場所：スーリーアートギャラリー登録必要：スーリーアートギャラリーに連絡をして下さい In Hastings Park, Henry Tsang makes invisible history concerning Japanese Canadians during WWII visible again using a thermal imaging camera. Presenting photographs and projections of four buildings in Vancouver’s Hastings Park,

where Japanese Canadians were detained before being sent to labour and internment camps, including the Livestock Building now associated with the Pacific National Exhibition. The thermal imaging technology used in this installation is typically used in the construction industry to reveal cracks or leaks in buildings through changes in temperature and light rays invisible to the human eye.

ヘイスティングスパークでは、Henry Tsangが熱画像カメラを使用して、第二次世界大戦中の日系カナダ人の目に見えない歴史を再現出来る様にしました。ヘイスティングスパーク内の４棟のビルの中では、現在パシフィックナショナルエキシビションに展示されているライブストックビルディングを含めた、日系カナダ人達が拘束されて、労働収容所及び強制収容所に送られた様子が写真や映像によって映し出されます。この展示のために使用された熱画像技術は、建築業界で温度や人間の目には見えない光線の変化を通してビル内の亀裂や漏れを見つけ出すために駆使されています。 July 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30 at 3:00 – 4:00PM Paueru Mashup dance lessons at the Park Location: Oppenheimer Park, 400 Powell St No Registration Required 7月2日、9日、23日と30日午後3時から4時までパークでのパウエル・マッシュアップダンスのレッスン場所：オッペンハイマーパーク、４００パウエル・ストリート事前登録の必要はありません。

Learn the Paueru Mashup dance at Oppenheimer Park with Kaya Tsumuri of Company 605! Kaya will be teaching the Paueru Mashup and preparing community dancers for a flash mob performance on the festival weekend! The dance is designed for all bodies, and everyone is welcome. No prior dance experience is required, but please be aware of your own safety and health.

Paueru Mashup The Paueru Mashup is a Japanese Canadian community dance commissioned by Powell Street Festival for 2020. Music for the mashup was composed by Onibana Taiko and choreography was done by Company 605.

Paueru Mashup Cross Country encourages Japanese Canadian communities to engage in the Paueru Mashup. This project offers activity conducive to health and well-being through online dance practice. This mimics the Paueru Mashup from 2020, but with new goals to engage to Japanese Canadian communities on a nation-wide scale. The project will culminate in an exciting video, featuring dance participants from all around Canada.

パウエルマッシュアップパウエルマッシュアップは、2020年にパウエル祭により委託された日系カナダ人コミュニティのダンスです。マッシュアップの音楽は鬼花太鼓が作曲、ダンスはCompany 605が振り付けを手掛けました。

パウエルマッシュアップ・クロスカントリーは、日経カナダ人のコミュニティがパウエルマッシュアップに参加するよう推奨しています。このプロジェクトは、オンラインのダンスの練習を通して、健康と福祉につながる活動を提供します。 2020年のパウエルマッシュアップと似ていますが、全国レベルでの日経カナダ人の参加が新たなゴールに加わりました。プロジェクトは、カナダ全土のダンス参加者をフィーチャーしたわくわくするようなビデオになります。

A brush and sumi-ink are her tools to express her true self and she brings characters to life. She has been working on her calligraphy installations, workshops, lessons, exhibitions, live performances and commissioned art works. Through her calligraphy art, she wishes to create peace, both inner and outer. Shion Skye Carter is a Japanese-Canadian dance artist from Gifu prefecture, Japan, who is currently based in Vancouver, Canada on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations. Through choreography hybridized with calligraphy, video, sculpture, and sound, her work celebrates the discovery of one’s ethnographic identity and connection to heritage. Shion has performed at venues spanning Vancouver and Halifax, including Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, Gold Saucer studio, Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre, and Kinetic Studio. She was recently awarded the Dance Centre’s Iris Garland Emerging Choreographer Award.

バンクーバーを拠点に、ダンスアーティストの詩音・スカイ・カーターと書道アーティストの姫州は、伝統と現代のアートのかたちを適応させ、新しいメディアアートのかたちを取り入れながら、2 人に共通した日本のルーツを祝う作品を制作しています。もともと2020年のパウエル祭でビデオとして初公開されたフロータイドですが、新しいバージョンではアーティストの探求が、スパニッシュバンクの海岸線にまで広がります。イースト・コンセッションビルのすぐ西のビーチで会いましょう。ライブパフォーマンスと映像版があります。

姫州は、日本の書道家で、伝統的なスタイルと、モダンなスタイルの書道を25年以上続けています。筆と墨は姫州にとって本当の自分を表現するための道具で、文字に命を吹き込みます。彼女は、書道のインスタレーションをはじめとし、ワークショップ、レッスン、展示会、ライブパフォーマンス、委託された芸術作品にも取り組んできました。書道の芸術を通して、内面と外面の両方で平和を築きたいと願っています。

詩音・スカイ・カーターは、日本の岐阜県出身の日系カナダ人で、現在は、カナダのバンクーバー内で未だに譲渡されていない領地であるマスクイアム、スコーミッシュ、ツレイル、ワトュースなどのコースト・セイリッシュを拠点としています。彼女の作品は、書道、ビデオ、彫刻、音と混成した振り付けを通じて、自身の民族誌的アイデンティティの発見と、ルーツとのつながりを祝います。詩音は、バンクーバーからハリファックスまでまたがる、 Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, Gold Saucer studio, Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre, and Kinetic Studio などで公演を行ってきました。最近では、ダンスセンターの Iris Garland Emerging Choreographer賞を受賞しました。

Here, where inside and outside are poetically merged as one, dance artists Ziyian Kwan, Rianne Svelnis and taiko artist Kage, collaborate in a performance of sonic energy and kinetic glow. Bringing art and imagining into relationship with a vivid inner-city oasis, Dreaming of Koi is a traverse of whimsy and a conduit for textures of play.

Audiences who attend Dreaming of Koi will also be able to see Rivers Have Mouths, a new exhibit in the gallery of Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. Rivers Have Mouths is the first of two art exhibitions from the public art program: Solidarity – which brings together local Indigenous and Chinese Canadian Artists, with a focus on intergenerational dialogue and public education on wellbeing and recovery through art, history, knowledge and culture.

Then war and state-sanctioned racism changed everything—he became the enemy. Three generations later, his grandson, artist Randall Okita, leads us on an interactive virtual pilgrimage through an emotional geography of immigration and family to recover what was lost.

The Book of Distance blends techniques from mechanical sculpture, film, and stage to redefine personal storytelling in virtual reality. Family archives add a haunting layer of realism. 2D and 3D hand-crafted sets reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints, evocative character design, and seamless choreography combine with surprising moments of interaction to gently whisk us across the ocean and through the years.

Okita invites us to participate in this generous act of imagination: a space of magical theatre and generational echoes. He never strays too far from our side as we move through the story’s darker moments. His need to reclaim his grandfather’s lost moments becomes our own. Together we reimagine a significant moment in history and take part in a very personal journey of loss and recovery. Presented with the collaboration of the National Film Board and in-kind support from Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Mata Ashita means see you tomorrow, and for us, that means a promise to take care of ourselves and each other during COVID-19. Japanese Canadian writing has long been a medium through which our community has found incredible power and meaning, and we hope to continue this tradition alongside the Powell Street Festival.

Leanne Toshiko Simpson (she/her) is a mixed-race Yonsei writer and educator who grew up as a settler in Ganatsekwyagon, also known as Scarborough. As a psychiatric survivor, her doctoral work at the University of Toronto is grounded in disability arts and race and citizenship studies, focusing on the intergenerational impact of the Japanese Canadian internment. Her debut novel, Infinite Snails, will be published in 2022 by HarperCollins. Leanne finds inspiration and solace in the collective care of Mata Ashita and looks forward to growing alongside this incredible community. Sen Canute (they/them) is a mixed race Yonsei settler from Oahu, Hawaii currently living and working on the unceded, occupied territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations. They are a multidisciplinary designer and digital storyteller with a background in Cognitive Psychology, Linguistics, and Human-Computer Interaction. Sen is motivated by community media and interested in leveraging emerging mediums to investigate perceptions of the self and the intersections of space, place and cultural memory.

Nico Koyanagi (she/they) is Yonsei with Irish, Scottish, German, and English ancestry, who grew up as a settler in Nogojiwanong on Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg territory. They are a community organizer, mediator, and peer supporter moved by food, plants, art, and human connection. Nico is interested in how we can live with more compassion, kindness, and care towards ourselves, each other, and the earth alongside challenging and resisting colonialism and capitalism in all its forms. Nico is grateful for the inspiring community that has formed out of Mata Ashita. She always looks forward to connecting with Japanese Canadians through our shared history and present as we build together for the future.

The Vancouver Kyudo Association of Canada plans to have an online demo where they let people at home shoot using exercise bands.

The Vancouver Kyudo Association of Canada (KAC) provides a space for people to practice Japanese archery. Through the generous help of the Vancouver Japanese Language School, they are one of the only places in Canada where Japanese archery can be practiced at the full 28-meter distance. They also have makiwara (close range) targets and gomuyumi (practice rubber bows). Thanks to the kind donations of several people including Toda Sensei, Sugimura Sensei and Watanabe Senpai, KAC Vancouver has a variety of club yumi, ya and yugake.

The Sugar Beet Fields and Japanese Canadian Internment | By David B. Iwaasa “Nearly 4,000 of some 21,460 Japanese Canadians forcibly evacuated from the West Coast of Canada during and immediately following World War II ended up working for a period in the sugar beet fields, mostly in Southern Alberta, but also more than 1,000 in Manitoba and a small group of mostly single men in Southern Ontario. For the sugar beet growers and the sugar beet factories, the mass evacuation of Japanese Canadians from the West Coast was a ‘heaven sent’ solution to their perennial labour shortages. For the Canadian federal government, the sugar beet fields offered an opportunity to quickly remove many Japanese Canadians from the West Coast in a cost-effective manner. For Japanese Canadians, faced with a horrendous uprooting from their homes, the sugar beet fields offered the possibility of moving as a unit, keeping their families intact. While not ideal, it seemed the best of an array of unpalatable options.”

主治医はまずホーム・地域保健サービスへ患者に関する紹介状を提出し、次に地域保健看護師が患者とその家族に直接連絡を取り評価を完了することで、ケアプランの作成が可能になります。この際、ケアに必要な費用も決定しますので、認知症患者の前年度の課税申告書を必ず持ってきてください。患者が所得補償制度 (GIS) を受けている場合には、在宅支援サービスの費用は無料になります。こうしたホーム・地域保健サービスとのつながりは、長期的なケアを手配する上で将来的にとても重要です。介護施設や介助付き住宅への入居は、この在宅地域保健サービスを通して手配が進められるからです。認知症患者とその支援者には、認知症の影響により起こる行動を管理、コントロールする上での支援も必要になる場合があり、患者の状態を評価してケアプランを作成するためのサービスがいくつかあります。たとえば、高齢者メンタルヘルスおよび薬物乱用サービスを受けるには、医療専門家からの紹介が必要です。不安や抑うつに対処するためのグループプログラムも提供しています。日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会では、異なる文化背景や言語を配慮に入れたプログラムを開発しています。詳細はアクティビティー・コーディネーターの渡瀬容子 (604-777-5000) までお問い合わせください。本稿では、患者とその支援者が医療システムを積極的に利用するために参考にしていただける機関や組織のほんの一部についてご紹介しました。

図書館コンサルタントとして現在取り組んでおられるプロジェクトについて教えてください。このプロジェクトは本当に面白いですよ。基本的にはゼロから図書館を立ち上げることになります。現在手元にあるのは、限られた情報しか入っていないエクセルシートの蔵書データだけです。残念ながらこのシートには ISBN* が含まれておらず、デジタル化するにはやらなければならないことが沢山あります。まずは、デジタルプラットフォームを設定する必要があります。今は、適した ILS* を選ぶ作業をしています。様々な種類のものがあり、図書館によって必要とするものが違うため、これにはかなりの時間を要します。当館を利用される方々が図書館にどんなことを期待しているかを探り、適したものを選びたいと思っています。もう一つ難しさを感じているものとして、蔵書目録の作成です。私は英語の書名しか扱ったことがありませんでしたが、ここではおそらく９９% が日本語の書名です。これは、大きな学習プロセスです。皆さんがオンラインシステムを利用できるよう、数ヶ月以内に ILS の設定とコンピュータの導入、そして目録作成を開始できればと思っております。

プロジェクト全体の期間はどの程度と予想されますか？間違いなく長い時間を要します。この通り（図書館に山積みされた本を指して）、まだ手が付けられていないものが山ほどあります。目録作成にはかなりの時間が必要です。ボランティアの方々がお手伝いしてくださると聞き、とてもありがたく思っています。目録作成は簡単な作業ではありませんが、シンプルにすることで多くの書籍を追加することができます。

VJLS-JH図書館の将来に期待することは何ですか？子どもや大人専用の読書スペースがあったら良いと思います。例えば、子ども達のためには、兄妹の授業が終わるまで遊んだり本を読んだりできるスペースを確保したり、社会人の場合は多くの利用者が読書や勉強、調べ物やリラックスを目的に来館すると思いますので、テーブルの数がもっとあればいいのではないかと思います。読み聞かせやワークショップなども提供できたらいいですね！最終的には、セルフチェックイン・チェックアウトのキオスクができるのが望ましいです。サインイン、サインアウト、書籍の検索などが簡単にできるようにしたいですね。また、学校関係者だけでなく、地域の方々にもご利用いただきたいと思っています。バンクーバーでこれほど多くの日本書籍を所蔵した場所は他にありません。当館を宣伝し、日本の文化や言語に興味のある人たちにもっと来てもらえたらいいですね。

VJLS-JH 図書館のデジタル化構想：川口亘代さんへのインタビュー VJLS-JH の図書館コンサルタントとして三重県出身の川口亘代（かわぐちのぶよ）さんが新たにチームに加わりました。当館の４万７千冊を超える日本書籍のデジタル化、サービスの向上・改善に取り組んでもらいます。

今日は貴重なお時間をいただき、ありがとうございます。簡単な自己紹介とVJLS-JHでのお仕事について教えていただけますか？

最後に何かコメントや伝えたいことはありますか？既存の利用者の皆様や、利用はしていないが関心を持ってくださってる皆様に、図書館に期待することについて、ご意見を伺いたいです。プログラムに着手し始めたばかりなので、リクエストにお応えできることがあるかもしれません。可能な限り対応していきたいと思います。また、長年にわたって本館の維持のためにご尽力いただいている図書館ボランティアの皆様に改めて感謝申し上げます。ボランティアの皆様のサポートなしに図書館を維持することは、これまでもこれからも不可能です。

このお仕事には１ヶ月前から携わっています。その前は、Langara VJLS-JH図書館プロジェクトに関するご意見ご感想、またはご質 College で Library and Information Technology Program を２年間勉問等ございましたら、川口library@vjls-jh.comまでご連絡くださ強していました。とてもいい経験になりましたし、勉強もとても楽しかっい。たです。この求人情報を見つけたのは、とても良いタイミングでした。プログラムの卒業を間近に控え、講師の一人が応募を勧めてくれたの *Integrated library system(ILS)：蔵書、予約、支払い状況、利用者をです。私はワクワクしながら面接を受け、最終的に採用いただけまし把握する図書館の基幹システム。た。VJLS-JH での業務はとても楽しく、やりがいを感じています。困難に直面することもありますが、同僚の支えや UBC の日本研究司書、 *ISBN(International Standard Book Number)：出版社、書店、図書館、 Langara College の講師からのアドバイスをいただきながら、日々多くインターネット小売業者、その他サプライチェーン参加者が、注文やリスト作成、販売記録、在庫管理のため使用する製品識別用国際規格コード。の事を学んでいます。

《滄海一粟》航海日誌

元日系ボイス編集者田中裕介

先住民の「真実と和解」「大地の霊の祭り」から何を学んだか 5 月、BC 州カムループス市の旧 Residential School（寄宿制学校）跡地に 215 名の児童が集団埋葬されていることが発見された。これに呼応して、カナダ各地で 15 万人の先住民児童が寄宿制学校に強制収容され、最大 6000 名が不審死したと報道された。カナダでは 1876 年に Indian Act が制定され、政府主導で各キリスト教団体が寄宿制学校を運営してきた。1960 年代の米国での黒人たちの差別反対と公民権運動に端を発して、植民地主義支配が批判の対象となった。1970 年代に入ると、先住民自らが立ち上がり人権、土地所有権、環境問題として各レベルの議会に突きつけるようになった。特に、寄宿制学校は子供の権利問題として批判され、1996 年にサスカチュワン州にあった最後の寄宿制学校が閉鎖された。そして、2008 年に当時のハーパー首相が謝罪し、「真実と和解委員会」（TRC）を設置して、各地での公聴会など実態調査が始まった。2015 年、それがまとめられて TRC 国立センターが設立された。この間、日系カナダ人社会も NAJC を中心に人権問題として一連の動きと関わってきた。日系人は差別と強制収容を経験してきたが、先住民たちは居留地に強制移住させられ、文化を奪われてきた。先住民の抱える「疎外感」は想像を超えるものがある。

しかし、乱開発への批判が強まり、人権重視の時代になった時、すでに先住民の伝統的生活基盤は破壊されていた。1990 年代、先住民のチーフたちは盛んに「経済的自立」を叫んでいたが、再び伝統文化や言語を取り戻し、かつ福祉への依存を捨て、経済的自立を志すのは大きな試練だった。

●ヌナブート準州のいま

1999 年、イヌイットの国、ヌナブート準州が誕生した。これは先住民イヌイットの土地資源を搾取し続け、彼らの生活と文化を剥奪してきたカナダ政府の反省に基づく快挙であると注目された。それから 22 年が経ったが、同準州選出のカッカック連邦議員が先日議会で訴えた言葉が胸に突き刺さった。カッカック議員は「何も解決されていない。根底にカナダの差別構造があるからだ」と指摘した。マミラアク・カッカック（Mumilaaq Qaqqaq）は、1994 年にベイカーレイクで生まれ育った。2017 年 3 月、国連が定めた国際女性記念日に、ヌナブートを代表してオタワで演説し万雷の拍手を浴びた。そして、 2019 年 9 月に新民主党（NDP）から立候補し連邦議員となった。 ●The Earth Spirit Festival 当時のインタビューで、彼女は「私はまだ若いので、新しい見方を今から 30 年前、1991 年 7 月初旬の週末 3 日間、トロントのハー提出したい」と語っている。カッカック議員はヌナブートの NGO 団体バーフロントでは NAJC 率いる日系人とカナダのファースト・ネーションズの 2 つのコミュニティの共催により第 1 回「大地の霊の祭り」（The で人材開発や心の癒しに関する仕事などに就いてきた。政権与党の自由党や保守党には「強い違和感を抱いてきた」という。「カナダ他州 Earth Spirit Festival）が開催された。ゲストとして、北海道二風谷から後に参院議員になったアイヌ・リーダー・萱野茂さん等 3 名を招き、での政策がヌナブートでも効果があるとは限らない。未解決の問題に思い切ってチャレンジしてみたい」という。日系人、先住民との交流の場となった。当時の企画書によると、この＜祭り＞は、「カナダの先住民（ファーそして、マミラアクは「若者の自殺の問題はとても複雑だ。自殺率スト・ネーションズ、イヌイット、メティス）と日本の先住民アイヌおよを下げるためには、住居、身体と心療サービスの改善、教育を受けるび日系人が一堂に会して豊かで変化に富む文化を祝福し合う」とある。権利、そしてアイデンティティ、文化の維持政策が必要だ」と語った。そして、このイベントを通じてカナダ社会の「地球と環境」への関心をさらに、連邦議会は「国連の『先住民宣言』をカナダの国内法にすべきだ。そのためには、まず連邦政府とヌナブート準州の意思疎通を改高めることを使命とした。善すべきだと思う」と述べた。 1980 年代の日本の「バブル経済」の最中、日本企業による乱開発さて、それから 2 年、マミラアアク・カッカック議員がオタワで実際は世界各地で凄まじいものがあり、デビッド・スズキなどの環境活動に政治家として何を見聞きし体験してきたかを、自らトロント・スター家の仇敵にされていた。＜祭り＞には、アルバータ州からルビコン族紙に寄稿している。チーフ・バーナード・オミヤクが登壇し、大昭和製紙カナダ社による彼らの聖地を含む一体でのクリアカット（皆伐）を直ちに中止させてほ「私はオタワ議会に助けを求めにやってきた。でも、誰も先住民などしいと主張した。この問題を重くみた NAJC トロント支部と先住民は大に関心を持ち行動に移す人はいない。最初のうちは私の勇気を褒めそ昭和カナダ社（現・日本製紙）の入るビルの前で集会を開き、以後フやしたりしてくれたが、ある時点で、そっけなくドアをピシャッと閉めるようになった」と言う。レンズ・オブ・ルビコン (FOL) を支援したことを想起したい。この運動が功を奏して、皆伐は 1998 年に中止された。だが、今度「オタワ議会で私が直面したのは性差別、若年者の私に対する年齢差は大昭和側が原告となって FOL が営業妨害したとして、巨額の損害賠別、そして、イヌイットに対する民族差別だった。他の議員が地下鉄償を要求した。結果として、FOL が使用した「ジェノサイド（民族抹殺）」やバスで選挙区を歩き回るのと、一選挙区としては世界一広いヌナブーの表現は「名誉毀損」に当たるが、原告の訴えは大組織による市民運ト準州を飛行機で移動するのとでは、経費が比べものにならないほど動への弾圧行為（SLAP）であると退けられ、FOL は実質的に勝訴した。違うことをどこの党派の人も理解してくれない」と指摘する。自分の選挙区に帰ると「安全な飲料水もない、住居建設の費用は極このインパクトは後に「真実と和解」につながっていったと言える。めて高く、カビの生えた家屋に大家族が暮らさざるをえない。牛乳４リッ 1993 年、バンクーバー島の温帯雨林クラキワット・サウンド (Clayoquot) の伐採は、大気の二酸化炭素浄化、地下貯水、生物の種ターが 20 ドルもする（都市部では５ドル程度）。病気になるのを待っているような暮らしがそこにあるのだ」と語る。の保存などエコシステム問題として注目された。この大木は神社仏閣の柱として使われ、日本からの需要も多くあったという。バンクーバー「連邦政府にあるのは植民地主義的な無関心である。この構造を変革しなくては、私はもうこの国も議会も全く信じることができなくなった」 JCCA が声を上げたこの古生林の伐採反対は、トロントに飛び火して関連企業への抗議運動となった。この後、世界の目は維持可能な開発と言い切った。さて、30 年前、ハーバーフロントで＜理解の門＞を先住民と一緒に（SDGs）に方向転換していった。くぐったわれわれ日系人たちも、「植民地主義的な無関心」な人々に過ぎないのかそれとも、かつてアラスカのイヌイットの村でジフテリアが大流行した時、犬ぞりを繰って血清を運び 1400 人の住民を救った探検家・和田重次郎 (1842 1937) のような、民族を超えた親近感を先住民に対して感じることができるのか。熟考すべき時ではないか。 *題字の「滄海一粟」（そうかいのいちぞく）とは大海原に浮かぶ一粒の粟のこと。

ウイルス感染症対策分科会の会長ら専門家有志は無観客開催を「望ましい」とする提言を日本政府、大会組織委員会に提出しました。しかし、この提言がどの程度、オリンピック・パラリンピックの感染防止対策に活かされるのかもわかりません。私が勤務している東京都立大学南大沢キャンパス（東京都八王子市）では、オリンピック・パラリンピックのパブリックビューイング（public viewing）の会場として使用される予定でしたが、中止となりました。その他の場所でもパブリックビューイングの中止が決まりました。大学では、対面型と同時にオンライン型の授業も併用して実施されています。そうした状況の中で、キャンパス外から大勢が来場するパブリックビューイング開催はどう考えても非現実的だったと言えます。どんなに対策を講じてもオリンピック・パラリンピックでは大勢の人の移動が生じます。オリンピックで 5 万 9000 人、パラリンピックで 1 万 9000 人が海外から日本を訪れる予定です。これ以外にも IOC（国際オリンピック委員会）・IPC（国際パラリンピック委員会）関係者、各

名前を覚えると得になる当コラムではここ数回各国の料理やその文化を探ってきたが、レストランその他の食べ処で料理を持ってきてくれるウエーターやウエイトレス、ひいては寿司を握ってくれる板前さんなどの重要な役割を語ってみる。肝要なのはそうしたサービス業に携わる人達の名前を覚えるのは、単なる礼儀のみならず実質的恩典があるのはご存じだろうか。実践している読者の方々はすでにご存知だろうが、いままで従業員の名前をいちいち覚えようなどと思ったこともない方々もおられよう。実際にウエーター。ウエイトレスなどを体験した事がある読者が一番よくわかるのでは。「すみません」「ちょっと」とか所によっては「お兄さん」が普通の呼び方だろうが、名前を憶えている客に「「あきこさん」とか「しゅんちゃん」などと呼ばれたら反応も変わる。

重職を担って国際的に活躍し教養もある身内のカップルがコペンハーゲンに住んでいる。10 年以上前だったか、同地では珍しい常連らしきインド料理屋に連れて行ってもらったことがある。小さな店なので主人がウエーターと会計係りを兼ね、奥さんが料理をしているらしい。だが混んでいたので料理を運んでいるその主人がなかなか目線を合わせてくれない。やっと注文して食事を済ませ勘定を払うときにインド人の主人に名前を訊いた。"My friends call me Cecil," と彼は幾分気取った感じで応えるたので、そのカップルの名前を出して紹介した。店を出た後も二人はキョトンとしている。ウェーターに紹介されたのは初めてのことだったのだろう。教養の有無とは関係ないこと、渡世術の問題だろう。

英国の通信社社員に始まり、ヨーロッパやシンガポールでかれこれ二十年近く記者を務めたが、先ず取材相手の名前をひかえるのが原則だ。ビジネスでも取引相手の名前を覚えるのは原則だろう。これが職癖となったのか常に相手の名前を覚えるようにしてきたが、実質的に得る点があるのにも気がついたのだ。具体例をあげてみよう。行きつけのジャズ・パブでビールを注ぐ係りのウエイトレスの名を覚え、いつも注文する際はファースト・ネームで呼びかけていたのだが、ある時ビール１杯をただでおごってくれた。別にその為に覚えた訳ではなかったが、そういう事もある。でも覚えようと考えたこともない人達でも、無意識にそうしている者がほとんどで、故意にそうしている者は少なかろう。

JCCA会長からのメッセージ

会員の皆さん、こんにちは。

コロナウイルスの暗い影がやっと徐々に薄れるにつれ、世界各国と共にカナダも対処し改善しなければならない事が沢山あります。しかこれを記している現在気温は屋外も室内も不快に感じる程暑く、今し世界各国が世界的流行病の防止と安全な生活環境に必要な変換事日リットンにおける温度はカナダ史上最高の摂氏 47.5 度に達しました。項を検討し特定しつつある中、同時に実際の習わしとして人権、平等前代未聞の高温はみな気候異変の前兆です。こうした不安な異変を緩と公正を保証する必要があります。人種差別主義、外国人嫌いと憎悪和する為に私達はみんな生き方や行動を変えなければなりません。こは除去できるが再発しかねない、根深い社会的癌なのです。それを克の状況を無視することはできません。気候異変が如何に破壊的で危険服する為には政府機関や人種差別や憎悪に反対するさ諸コミュニティか私達は目の当たりにし、感じています。による今から将来に向けた捏持続的な尽力と組織活動です。原住民の人々はこう言います。「私達の最大の資源は子供たちです」と。ですかここ１カ月間に関しては GVJCCA はオンタリオ州ロンドンで家族四ら今日、そして明日も私達の仕事は孫たちが物理的にも社会的にも安人が殺害されたアフザール一家に書簡でカナダ回教徒協会 (Muslim 全な環境に暮らせるよう出来る限りの努力をすることです。 Association of Canada) を通じてお悔やみの言葉を伝えました。生き残った男の子は自分のトラックを恐回教徒的な殺人の凶器にした 20 歳 GVJCCA は、またも素晴らしいオンライン・イベントを取り仕切ったの若者の手により最愛の家族を失いました。ここ一年間のアジア系カパウエル・ストリート・フェスティバル協会（PSFS）にお祝いの言葉をナダ人に対する暴力行為の回数から、公共の場所で安全ではないのは送ります。PSFS はまた、ダウンタウン・イーストサイド界隈で区域の不法な事をわかっています。自分達の公共の場における安全を権利と諸コミュニティや住民の健康と福祉のために尽力しています。パウエル・してカナダ政府に安全の保障を要求しているカナダ人回教徒を支持しストリート・フェスティバル協会は本当に良くやってくれましたね。私たます。憎しみと人種差別主義を克服する為には諸コミュニティの全てがちはフェスティバルを大事にしています。また 2022 年にフェスティバ協力して団結し手組織活動を行わなければなりません。ルが復活する事を願っています。カナダ・デー（建国記念日）が近づいていますが、家族やコミュニティに返還されずに墓標もない墓場に埋葬された原住民の寄宿舎制学校生徒達の増え続ける死亡者数に関して公正と責任を要請している悲しみに包まれる原住民その他諸コミュニティを支持する印として私は当日オレンジ色の服を着ます。今こそ植民地主義を解体し、警察、医療、司法、児童福祉などの業務で今なお機能している制度的な植民地主義の遺物を排除し、原住民の人々に対して行われ続ける残酷な不正行為を決定的に止めさせる事です。日系カナダ人も彼等の公正の要求を支持してしっかりと立ち上がらなければなりません。首相は親切で情け深い発言をしているもの、カナダ政府の措置はいつも不足しています。この恥ずるべき状況に終止符をうつ時がきました。国連の原住民の人権宣言に実質的な権限を与え、原住民コミュニティに関する全ての政府間関係と行動の指標と道徳的な指針としましょう。

また、来る 8 月 14 日午後 1 時から 3 時に GVJCCA の年次総会が開かれることをお忘れなく。GVJCCA 理事会では日経センター 2 階のマツ・ルームで実際の会合とズームを同時に行います。どうぞ参加してください。総会ではここ 1 年間の活動を報告し、現職及び新規の理事会会員を選挙します。私達は皆さんの参加を必要としているのです。ありがとうございます。

編集後記

Kazuho Yamamoto

約 10 年使っていたバランスボールについに穴が空いたので、先日新しいのを購入しました。「使っていた」と言ってもエクササイズのためではなく、デスクで椅子代わりにしていたのですが… 新しいバランスボールの取扱説明書を見たら、使い始められるまでに３日かかることが判明！１日目はまず箱から出して２時間放置して素材を外気に慣らす。その後 80％の大きさまで空気入れで膨らませて 24 時間放置。すぐに膨らませようとすると素材が綺麗に伸びず、楕円形になってしまう可能性があると記載がありました。２日目は付属のメジャーで大きさを測って 100％まで膨らませてさらに 24 時間放置。そして、３日目にようやく使うことができるようです。取説に従って準備したのでおかげさまで綺麗に丸く膨らみました。座り心地が良いことを願っています。 Kazuho Yamamoto

家具の組み立てや今まで使ったことのない電子機器を購入した際には取説を読むことをしていましたが、今回のような至って簡単な製品にこのようなステップが記載されていてびっくりしました。ただ空気を入れればいいという気持ちでいたので見ないで捨てていた可能性の方が高かったのですが、興味本位でちらっと覗いてみたところ細かな指示がされていました。取説の最後のページにはバランスボールを使ったエクササイズ方法も載っていました。普段は体操目的では全く使っていませんでしたがせっかく取説を読んだのでこちらも指示に従って試してみようと思います。（本当かな？）

「オーマイゴッド、もう 7 月に突入！」

KAO (a.k.a. SleeplessKao)

毎日がはやぶさのように過ぎ去っていきます。6 月は自身の展覧会をガスタウンにあるお店で開催して、暑い中たくさんの方達にお越しいただきました。新たな出会いがたくさん生まれ、作品を購入してくれた方達の嬉しい顔や、生の声を聞けてアートを続ける意味を再確認しました。

カナダデーの日（カナダ建国記念日）に、先住民のレジデンシャルスクール跡地で子供達の遺体が最近相次いで見つかってるいる追悼の為のパレードが私の住むアパートの目の前を通りました。とてもパワフルでスピリチュアルな太鼓と歌声に心が震えました。今年の建国記念日はカナダ建国を祝うよりも、それによって居場所、文化、人権、そして命までも奪われた先住民達に思いを寄せよう、カナダを象徴する赤の代わりに先住民の痛みに心を寄せるオレンジを着ようという動きになっているそうです。街中でオレンジのシャツを着た人たちに目が留まります。暑くて家にいられないほどの熱波にやられ、エアコンも扇風機もお店から消える（売り切れ続出）現象が。友達からも「家が温室で猫が元気がないので預かってくれないか」という連絡が入り、こんな時毛皮を着ている動物は大変だ、自分が毛皮を着ていたらと思うと散歩している犬に同情心が生まれました。熱中症で亡くなられた方や山火事で家を失ったなどのニュースが相次ぎ、心配した日本の友人たちからテキストをもらうほど暑い日が続きました。ードのパレ悼の為

子供達が夏休みに入る代わりに、私はアート学校のサマーキャンプで教えるのでまた忙しい日々に突入です。コロナで ZOOM で教える日々でしたが教室で直接教えることが始まりました。暑いのでマスクをしての授業が息苦しいです。でも実際に会って、みんなの元気な顔が見れて本当に嬉しい。

オッペンハイマーパークも開放されました。今年のパウエル祭は引き続きオンラインになりますが、徐々に元の生活が戻ってきている兆しが感じられますね。もう少しの辛抱です。心を引き締めて健康に留意して楽しく夏を満喫しましょう。最後にアート活動の宣伝：今月から 3 ヶ月間、キツラノにある "Parthenon" (3089 W Broadway) というギリシャの食料雑貨店の壁を借りてのアート展をします。お店はギリシャのテイクアウトや食料品、雑貨もあって絵だけでなくお買い物も楽しめるのでぜひお出かけくださいね。ではまた
