A DREAM OF TWO BROTHERS: THE EAST LILLOOET MEMORIAL GARDEN by Laura Saimoto, E. Lillooet Garden Committee Co-chair “I had a dream!”, Dr. Aki Horii proclaimed as his opening to his keynote speech at the East Lillooet Memorial Garden Renewal Opening Ceremony on Saturday, May 7, 2022. The image of Martin Luther King flashed through my mind. With heartfelt words of congratulations, dignitaries – the Honourable Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation, Chief Michelle Edwards of Cayoose Creek Band, MLA Jackie Tegart, MP Brad Vis, Deputy Consul General Japan, Masayo Tada, the ED of Heritage BC, Kirsten Clausen and Lillooet Mayor, Peter Busse spoke of the importance of honouring the garden and history of East Lillooet, and expressed their gratitude for the Seniors’ Garden Committee, the District of Lillooet and all those who contributed to this amazing transformative and enduring legacy garden. It was a glorious day, with over 300 people there to honour the families and stories of East Lillooet.

Louis Horii (85) and Bruce Tasaka (85) were the garden designers and construction leaders. “It is not a traditional Japanese garden, it has Japanese elements but it’s adapted to local nature and the local materials of Lillooet”, Louis says. “The story of the garden is told through its elements and the principle of low cost maintenance. There are seven pine trees in the garden that represent the seven years of internment. The gravel represents the water of the Fraser River, and a mini-Japanese style bridge crosses the rock waterfall which are the feeders into the Fraser. Large granite rocks around the garden border are from Duffy Lake slide.”

Louis continues, “The entrance gateway (with Japanese style roof) and the arbor overlooking the Internment site are framed within each other. So the sightline is a frame within a frame from entrance to the view over the farm. There is symmetry to the design as the three focal points interact with each other. You look straight and see the view, to the left is the granite monument with all the names of the Internee families, and to the right is the History Sign. The plants are deer resistant and hopefully will survive extreme temperatures. They still need water, so we put in an The garden overlooks the original E.

Lillooet Seniors’ Garden Committee in partnership with the District of Lillooet transformed Phase I (2018) into a beautiful ‘Lillooet style’, contemporary rock garden. It was a dream of two brothers: Dr. Aki Horii (90), a retired family doctor and Louis Horii, 85, a retired Richmond house builder/carpenter. Their family was interned in East Lillooet from 1942-49. “I did not know what it would or could look like, but I wanted our history to be remembered.” said Aki. When the two brothers visited Lillooet in 2015, the garden idea was born. Now in 2022, it is a beautiful tribute to our parents and our grandparents who got their families through hard times.

It gives you peace when you walk inside.” We are grateful to the District of Lillooet and to our funders (Northern Development Trust; Heritage BC; Pathways to Gold; NAJC and many community donors) for believing in our dream. And we are so thankful to our dedicated core volunteer build team who donated about 1300 hours of sweat equity under Louis and Bruce’s leadership: the Oike family – Darren (Lillooet’s fire chief), Tad, Hiko, Larry, Nobuye, Carson, Tate; Vern Kawaguchi; Don and Carol Howerton; Nan Tasaka; Karl and Eileen Willms. Our team consisted of internees and their descendants spanning four generations. It was a labour of love, light and expert cost management. Lastly a big pat on the back to our wise committee elders: Dr. Aki Horii, Louis Horii, Bruce and Nan Tasaka; Sam Yamamoto, Kaori Yano, Nobby Ishikawa, Yosh Kariatsumari, Linda Kawamoto-Reid, and to our counterpart Lillooet team, Mayor Peter and wife Vera, and CAO Jeremy Denegar – to keep things going to the finish line. Thank you to all who gave support, too

BC REDRESS UPDATE May 21 announcement. From left: Judge Maryka Omatsu, PS Rachna Singh, Susanne Tabata, Premier John Horgan. Lorene Oikawa, Art Miki

Since the May 21 2022 BC Government $100Million announcement, there have been questions from survivors and families, and our community, regarding the speed at which the six-fold legacy initiatives package will be getting developed and implemented. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through extensive meetings with ministerial teams, prioritizing funding for health & healing supports for survivors in a new Japanese Canadian Survivors Health and Wellness Fund among the other monetary initiatives of education, heritage, community & culture, and monument. This foundational work was created in January 2020-May 2020 and then refined and presented as detailed proposals to the BC Government in meetings April – September 2021, culminating in NAJC Legacy Initiatives to Redress Wrongs Against Japanese Canadians September 2021 (Tabata&Noble). We have now created a BC society called Japanese Canadian Legacies Society as an umbrella organization to oversee the implementation of the historical wrongs framework, reporting both to the community, and to the BC Government. Next month we will be providing more details on this oversight group.

Anti-racism and the Multiculturalism Advisory Council

A key priority in the legacy initiatives package is anti-racism. As a non-monetary pillar, it has been addressed by the BC Government with the announcement acknowledging the scale of the historical wrongs committed against our community and the prioritizes which must be addressed by the BC Government. Chief among those is the request that a Japanese Canadian community member be included on the Multiculturalism Advisory Council, and that the community be invited to be involved in any projects led by the Parliamentary Secretary for Anti-Racism Initiatives, including race-based data collection, and forthcoming legislative changes. An open call for a candidate was put out to the community by the Ministry of Attorney General earlier this year, and closed February 8, 2022.

Congratulations Judy Hanazawa

We are pleased to announce that the BC Government has selected Judy Hanazawa to be the representative on the Multiculturalism Advisory Council in BC. We asked Judy to share a few things about her upcoming work with the Council. Judy, where are you speaking with us from today? I am providing this information with gratitude as I work from the unceded lands of Coast Salish Peoples – the Tsawout and Tseycum on Saturna island, and the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil Waututh People in Vancouver. Congratulations on your appoinment to MAC. What is it that you are looking forward to the most in your role? I am looking forward most of all to working with others on the Council and participating directly in strengthening ties between racialized, marginalized communities and government to secure the necessary solidarity for overcoming racism and hate. This province’s legislated capacity today to gather evidence from racialized, marginalized communities about their experience with all forms of racism, hate and inequities in services and opportunities, in my optimistic view, is a huge step forward toward establishing truly effective antiracism programs, services and supports. There’s a lot of work to be done, when do your meetings start? The first meeting of the Multiculturalism Advisory Council (MAC) that I attended was on June 3, 2022. Parliamentary Secretary for Antiracism Rachna Singh attended part of the meeting. I was introduced as a new member and others also shared information about themelves. Additional meetings have already been called going into July to address specific issues. Do you get to participate in legislative changes? While funding equity in post secondary institutions and reviewing police service reforms are on the table, the MAC is also focused on steps in the implementation of the Antiracism Data Act. The MAC recognizes the important work which will soon be assumed by a newly appointed Anti Racism Data Committee. I am hoping the MAC and the Committee will establish a strong working relationship with one another. In future the MAC will also participate in the development of BC’s Antiracism Act planned for proclamation by 2024.

Is there anything you would like to add or share? I appreciate and thank the NAJC BC Redress Project for initiating the opportunity for a Japanese Canadian to join the Multiculturalism Advisory Council. I feel sincerely honoured about my appointment. Antiracism work has always been critically important yet governments have not given it true priority until now. Today more than ever, there is honesty about racist colonial government rule which attempted the total subjugation of Indigenous communities. There is opportunity today for Indigenous, Black, other racialized, marginalized communities, and our allies, to better know each other, to build our solidarity, and find ways to work with government to collectively overcome racism and hate. For this reason, I am committed to work with others on the Council, with communities, and with government, to do what I can to achieve that outcome.

In 1942, during the Second World War, 22,000 Japanese Canadians were forcibly uprooted, dispossessed, incarcerated and exiled from the west coast. The forced exile extended until 1949, four years after the end of the war that had been used to support these racist and unjust actions. About 8,000 Japanese Canadians, mostly residing outside of Vancouver, were transported to Hastings Park where they were detained in inhumane conditions for weeks or months before being sent east to internment/incarceration camps, road camps, work camps, and sugar beet farms. Some died in the makeshift hospital at Hastings Park because they were denied access to regular hospitals based on ethnicity. While most were removed from Hastings Park by October 1942 and forced further east, over 100 individuals remained in the makeshift hospital until Spring 1943.

LANDSCAPES OF INJUSTICE DRAWS TO A CLOSE by Jordan Stanger-Ross The Landscapes of Injustice partnership, which began in conversations over a decade ago, has officially come to a close. Our collective researched, to the best of our abilities, the history of the dispossession of Japanese Canadians in the 1940s. And now, we’ve contributed to the telling of this story as widely and as powerfully as we could. Broken Promises, our museum exhibition, is open until September at the Royal BC Museum. Then it will tour to Halifax, Lethbridge, Nanaimo, and, we hope, points beyond. A Digital Research Database, developed in consultation with community partners due to the sensitivity of its contents, has now provided hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Japanese Canadians with access to the records of their own families. A number of descendants have published their reflections on these difficult records in the pages of this publication. The teachers in our partnership created resources for classrooms across Canada. Our research findings, as well as a timeline of the history that we studied, is available online. None of this work would have been possible without the deep support and involvement of the Japanese Canadian community. As the Project Director, I want to take this opportunity to offer thanks for the trust, engagement, and energy of individuals and organizations in the community who sustained our partnership from before its beginning to now, after its end. Landscapes of Injustice was built out of and was driven by the priorities of key Japanese Canadian organizations. The first discussions of a possible partnership occurred at the Nikkei National Museum, when staff and I realized that we shared questions about the dispossession. What had happened to the property of Japanese Canadians, and why? Who had made the decision to dispossess them and who benefited from forced sales? What were the legacies of loss? Soon, other organizations joined with similar priorities. Along with the museum, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in Toronto and the Vancouver Japanese Language School & Japanese Hall joined. Drafts of our proposal circulated and

recirculated. Partners provided formal written support of the proposal in its final form, without which it could never have been funded. Thank you! Soon after our work began in 2014, the National Association of Japanese Canadians joined our partnership as well. At first, the Association joined for a specific purpose – to co-sponsor a fellowship for Nikkei students to join the research team – but its role evolved and increased over time, with the President serving as Vice Chair of our Steering Committee, the key creative and decision-making body of the partnership, after 2018. It is gratifying now, after years of collaborative work, to hear Sherri Kajiwara, the Director|Curator of the NNM, reflect on the sustained, meaningful, and transformative relationships that emerged. Thank you! Relationships are a learning process, and our partnership changed over time. The advice and mentorship of an arms-length Community Council was essential throughout this process. The Council was created through a national call for established and emerging leaders in the Japanese Canadian community, circulated to organizations across the country. Chaired by Vivian Wakabayashi Rygnestad, the Council’s role changed significantly over time. In response to feedback at the end of a teamwide gathering in 2015, its members were paired with “Cluster Chairs” (leads on specific project activity), who brought decades of personal and community-based experience to all areas of our work. Council members

also became mentors, inspiring dozens of students with their generosity and dedication. Mary Kitagawa, among others, spoke powerfully to the whole team about Japanese Canadian experiences in the 1940s. In 2018, two representatives of the Council, Art Miki and Susanne Tabata, joined the project’s Steering Committee. I can’t imagine the partnership without the Council. Thank you! As a public history project, the Landscapes of Injustice partnership took a broad view of expertise. Our small core creative team was driven by the brilliance of key Japanese Canadian creators, who worked alongside peers and colleagues from outside the community. We valued and needed the specialized knowledge of archivists, curators, teachers, and elders, in addition to that of academics. These experts shaped the work from the outset and throughout. There are so many who could be thanked here, but I want especially to note Mike Abe, Audrey Kobayashi, Linda Kawamoto Reid, Eiji Okawa, Lisa Uyeda, Sherri Kajiwara, Greg Miyanaga and emerging scholar Natsuki Abe. We couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you, thank you! I take it as a testament to the success of the relationships within Landscapes of Injustice that our community-based partners, led by Laura Saimoto at the Vancouver Japanese Language School, nominated our partnership for a BC Heritage Award at the conclusion of our work (And we won! Thank you, Laura!). They have also joined (along with over a dozen other Japanese Canadian organizations) and shaped a new proposal for an international partnership, Past

Wrongs, Future Choices, which intends to bring the experiences of Japanese Canadians into conversation with Nikkei communities across the world. While the government has not yet announced the results of this latest funding competition, we hope to have public news to share about this partnership in the months to come. Thank you to everyone who believes this work should carry forward! Landscapes of Injustice was driven by the conviction that we could work together across difference to tell a history of injustice and resilience. We believed that our voices could amplify one another and that together we could achieve the common goals of understanding this history and ensuring that it is not forgotten. The work was not easy. Telling such a difficult history requires care, and deep listening is needed to benefit from diverse forms of expertise. But, through the work and joy of being together, we succeeded in ways I could only have dimly imagined when we first began. As someone who has come to know this community over the past ten years, I’m just tremendously grateful. Thank you.

IT’S TIME TO MOVE BEYOND EUPHEMISMS by Ann Gomer Sunahara Putin uses “special military operation” to describe the on-going Russian invasion of Ukraine. China uses “re-education” to describe its suppression of the Uyghur minority. Both are propaganda euphemisms — misleading words used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

to “aliens”, the words “enemy alien” and “internment”, can NOT be used to describe any “British national of Canadian origin”, which was the legal status of all naturalized or Canadian-born persons. In the 1941 census, there were 3,620 naturalized (15.6%) and 13,600 Canadian-born (58%) persons of Japanese origin.

This is a similar legal status as that of a person confined under a provincial Mental Health Act today. PC 1486 and the administrative measures taken under it do NOT order anyone to be “interned”; nor do they ever characterize the Nisei or naturalized as “enemy The Orders made under the War Measures Act affecting Japanese aliens.” Canadians reflect the important legal distinction between aliens and Indeed, Japanese “enemy aliens” appear only once nationals. Only one order in 1942 expressly mentions Japanese “enemy more in an Order made under the War Measures aliens”.

PC 7355, made on 15 — immigrants from Japan who remained Japanese nationals — aged 18 December 1945, attempted to deport all Japanese to 45 years to leave the coastal area for work camps deep in the Rocky enemy aliens who had signed for “repatriation” in the Mountains. very biased survey in 1945. PC 365 did not apply to male Nisei or to the naturalized. (At that time the plan was to control them by means of a “Civilian Service Corps” similar to the work camps for the unemployed in the 1930s. In January 1942, BC’s racist politicians hadn’t even thought about the fate of the women and children!)

It is understandable that the Nisei and naturalized felt that they were treated as “enemy aliens”. They too had been “registered” like the aliens. They too had been subjected to the same panoply of abuse and constraints as the aliens. They too had been vilified by PC 1486, made on February 24, 1942, empowered the Minister of Justice the BC press and BC politicians in the same way.

Neither PC 1486, nor any administrative measure taken under its powers, use the terms “enemy alien”, “intern”, or “internment”. Rather, all are race-based.

Japanese Canadian Heritage Cooking Classes An Interactive and Tasty Beginning

The sun was lingering high on the Western horizon as guests made their way to Tonari Gumi on June 29th, 2022. It was a beautiful evening outdoors but a creative endeavour was coming to life in the kitchen. As guests piled into the hall they were met with tables full of fresh veggies, heritage seasonings and cutting board stations. This was the inaugural session of a new program called Japanese Canadian Heritage Cooking Classes – a program dedicated to sharing a rich and diverse set of Japanese Canadian cuisine.

Do you have a favourite family recipe you would like to show us?

Ingredients will be provided for you and participants will help with cooking! An honorarium will be provided as a token of our gratitude for your time.

Program coordinator Michael Tora Speier’s menu included sheet-pan roasted fish and vegetables. Participants were put to work slicing and dicing an assortment of vegetables and seafood, which were then tossed in one of several marinades. One Japanese flavour that was new to many participants was kasu (かす), a by-product of sake (酒) production, which was combined into a semi-thick sauce and used as a marinade. Also available was a tare (たれ) soy sauce reduction.

We salted sliced kyuri cucumber and daikon radish before preparing pickle brine over the stove. Turmeric was added for colour to mimic traditional daikon. These takuan could be prepared in the morning and enjoyed that evening. Some takuan were prepared earlier for participants to enjoy in the class, while the pickles made in class were taken home. The last part of the meal to be made was chirashi rice, with tamago (egg), umeboshi (plum), ginger, and shiso leaf. While the cooked rice was being prepared with rice wine vinegar and sugar, a conversation started about how wooden bowls for mixing rice were better than modern plastic or metal alternatives, because they don’t absorb any of the extra moisture! Also, earlier in the session a sansei participant remarked that their

The Anglican Healing Fund for Japanese Canadians June 25, 2022 Online National Outreach Meeting Meeting Summary We’d like to extend a BIG thank-you to everyone who attended our online national outreach and information meeting on June 25th, 2022, and to those who have subsequently viewed the gathering online. A special thanks to our guest speaker Dr. Nic Harrison for sharing his story with us. The video can be found on Youtube by searching for the Healing Fund for Japanese Canadians, or by following the link below. Video Link: https://youtu.be/6N97fiDcfHg At the meeting Dr. Harrison spoke about his personal experiences with abuse from a young age at the hands of Catholic priests, nuns and teachers while attending a Church-run institution. His story is significant to our community because he is able to speak to the abuse from the perspective of a child. Too often, child survivors of clergy sexual abuse only find a way to speak out later in life. Dr. Harrison’s disclosure was a powerful reminder of the intricate and nuanced levels of control placed on children by abusers. His stories provide a first-hand account of his experiences and allow the Japanese Canadian community to engage in conversations about the abuse our friends and family members suffered at the hands of Mr. Nakayama. Abusers share similarities in the ways they manipulate their victims. In the case of priests, be they Catholic or Anglican, in addition to being ‘next to God’ in power and authority, they wield additional power as community leaders and educators. Each position they occupy is used to manipulate children, parents, and colleagues alike.

What is intergenerational trauma, and who is a member of a ‘survivor family’? At a previous meeting on June 26, 2021, Japanese American psychotherapist, Dr. Satsuki Ina, spoke about how community trauma requires community healing. The effects of abuse travel across generations, moving outward like the ripples produced when a stone is thrown into a pond. The Healing Fund Project Office is here to help anyone in the Japanese Canadian community suffering from Mr. Nakayama’s abuse. Survivor family members include siblings and descendants of survivors of Mr. Nakayama’s abuse. FUTURE EVENTS BEING HELD BY THE HEALING FUND Gathering of Old Friends, September 30, 2022 - October 2, 2022 Audience: Survivors and family members An in-person gathering will be taking place in the Greater Vancouver area Friday, September 30th - Sunday, October 2nd, 2022. This weekend event is open to any survivors or family members of Mr. Nakayama’s abuse, and will be a social event. The Healing Fund will cover the costs of travel, food and accommodation for each participant and their support person. The deadline to apply is August 31st, 2022. To apply, please fill in the community feedback form or follow the link on the Homepage of the Healing Fund’s website, and a member of the Project Office will contact you with more details. Training workshop on intergenerational trauma, October 15, 2022 Audience: Survivors, family members, community leaders, community members

Intergenerational (or generational) trauma can have far-reaching effects on families and communities. Mr. Nakayama’s abuse was widespread in the community and he robbed some survivors of their childhoods, their innocence, and their ability to trust others. Some experienced difficulty Dr. Harrison’s presentation reminded many of us about maintaining relationships, and others may not have reached their full our own encounters with abuse and from the stories potential. Participants who attend the training workshop will gain a deeper of our family members. Moving forward to address this understanding of methods to address this trauma and will return to their history, the Healing Fund for Japanese Canadians will communities equipped to facilitate a local gathering after this training. be working with survivors, survivor family members, The deadline to apply is September 15, 2022. and the community in their healing journeys. The eligibility for counselling support, education support, Sincerely, and community healing initiatives includes survivors of Peter Wallace and members of the Healing Fund Project Office Mr. Nakayama’s abuse, family members, and members anglicanhealingfund@najc.ca of the community. Why such a wide range of eligibility?

IN PRAISE OF THE JCYL ONLINE BOOK CLUB When I was finally out of school I thought I would have more time to read recreationally, rather than for studying or research. I would no longer have to spend evenings and weekends reviewing the Journal of Archaeological Science, or unpublished manuscripts, while my novels sat collecting dust. I have never been an avid reader but as many of you can probably relate I find myself wanting to be a reader and so my collection steadily grows. This is where the JCYL online book club comes in. The young leaders’ group started a book club in March, 2022, to read and review books by Japanese Canadian authors. I had several of the books that were first proposed and I was right in thinking it would be a great way to complete some much-needed recreational reading! At the first meeting we discussed Terry Watada’s The Three Pleasures. The following month it was Chiru Sakura by Grace Thomson. And this past meeting was a double feature with the Mr. X series by Liz Nunoda and Empire of the Son by Tetsuro Shigematsu.

and family bonds. And the monthly meetings provide plenty of time to source and digest each novel (or pairing of short stories). The next meeting of the book club is August 7, where we will have up a double feature: Kimiko Does Cancer by Kimiko Tobimatsu, and This One Summer by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki. Interested in participating? Contact the Young Leaders by email at jcyoungleaders@gmail.com. – Peter Wallace, participant in the book club

I have nothing but accolades and admiration for the book club. Participants come from across Canada and each person brings a new insight to the conversation, while the volumes explore relatable topics like creative outlets, identity dilemmas,

If life is a book, then there are many chapters, with some opening, some closing, and some being returned to again and again. This spring we sadly closed the chapter on the Hi Genki restaurant at Nikkei Home, tucked in next to the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre in Burnaby. A little community jewel, Hi Genki served thousands of us over the years, and was the site of countless meetings, reunions and other occasions that are best enjoyed over simple, unpretentious, lovingly-made food. On a personal note, some of my best memories are of the monthly lunches following The Bulletin mail out with my amazing crew of (mostly) nisei volunteers. I will never forget the deep fried ice cream that we ordered for birthdays – next to impossible to cut into, but so delicious. I’ll also remember Bob inspecting my donburi bowl at the end of every meal and admonishing me, “mottainai,” referring to the left-over rice that I couldn’t eat. All the nisei of course brought their own plastic containers to take half their meal home for dinner that night – a leftover, I suppose, of the lean war years. Those mail outs and lunches were of course cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the ensuing two years, we have lost many of our volunteers through death and relocation, and so we have enjoyed our continued on page 20

President’s Message by Cary Sakiyama

Summer has officially begun, with a slow roll and is now full speed ahead! The kids are out of school, the birds are singing and the hats and sunscreen are part of living. Fresh tasty berries, corn on the cob and sand between the toes are my faves. I encourage everyone, if you can, to get out and enjoy these moments outside with family, friends and strangers. One of the things we’ve learned in the past 2 years is that we cannot take gathering at the beach to watch the sunset for granted. Go watch it set tonight and share the moment with someone you know or go alone and share the moment with people you don’t know (yet). I promise you, you will feel a kinship, a connectedness with the Earth and its inhabitants. The GVJCCA is super excited to be back at the Powell Street Festival this year July 30 - 31! Please come see us at our community booth AND our food

Editorial continued last lunch together at Hi Genki. I’m sure I join many others in thanking the Hirai family and the amazing Hi Genki team for many years of wonderful meals. They will be sorely missed. Speaking of chapters reopening, the Powell Street Festival returns fully in-person this year after two years of pivoting to online and hybrid versions. I’m looking forward to gathering once again on Paueru Gai and the surrounding neighbourhood for cold ramen salad, Spam musubi, gyoza and lots and lots of music, JC style. Finally, one of the opening chapters in my book of life is my introduction to the Vancouver JC community through Kokuho Rose Prohibited, the band I met and joined following my performance at the Tonari Gumi coffeehouse on Cordova Street in 1977. That fateful night changed everything. We’ll be flipping back through the pages on July 30 at 8pm, when Kokuho Rose Prohibited will play on the first night of the Powell Street Festival as the inaugral show of the 2022 Music in the Courtyard series at the Firehall Theatre, produced by Vancouver Independent Music (VIM) and the Firehall Theatre. It’s been years since we last played together but it should be a good night of music, memories and more, as we remember old friends, old songs, and a seminal time in our community. Come hungry, there’ll be food for sale!

Quinoa Salad

It’s the season! It’s sunny (mostly)! We’ve had the heat dome and then thankfully it cooled off again. In the summer Mom and I think automatically, “BBQ! Salads!” but at this point I’m pretty sure we’ve Quinoa Salad that Jennifer Aniston ate for 10 years on the set of Friends, maybe because nobody else covered most of the bases, no? Everyone knows how it goes: was eating it. But it’s good! I promise. ● Korean BBQ plus rice and cucumber sesame salad and some kimchi 1 c. quinoa (cook in rice cooker with 1 ¾ c. water and ● Greek BBQ (lemon, garlic, oregano) with Greek Salad and roasted quick cook setting)* lemon potatoes 1- 1 ½ c. cooked chickpeas (I use dried chickpeas ● Teriyaki with Japanese potato salada, musubi and gomae which have to be started the night before but canned ● American BBQ with potato salad but not the creamy kind, the German are easier) ¼ c. walnuts, toasted and chopped kind that’s sharp with vinegar, herbs and mustard ½ large english cucumber or 3 small crisp ones, in ● Middle Eastern spiced kebabs with couscous salad small dice ● Satay with bamboo sticks you forgot to soak in water beforehand so Bunch italian parsley, chopped they’re all charred but peanut sauce masks all flaws and don’t bother Smaller bunch mint, chopped with side dishes because when there’s satay nobody eats anything else, ½ c. feta cheese, crumbly kind they just focus on building their own pick-up-sticks game as fast as they ¼ c. red onion, finely minced (I rinse mine in boiling can; whoever finishes with the biggest pile of sticks wins water to extract some of the harshness) or three My current favourite fast simple salad is a combination of arugula, chopped green onions oranges, thinly sliced fennel and sliced almonds. Dress it with lemon juice Whisk together the dressing: and olive oil and some salt. That’s it! The hardest thing is remembering juice of 2-3 lemons to buy fennel. ¼ c. olive oil Other than that…honestly, when the weather is good – even when it’s 1 tsp honey not – everyone is out and I never know if I should make dinner. If I buy 1 grated clove of garlic or thaw meat it doesn’t get cooked because we’re all busy and if I cook salt and pepper to taste something it just sits in the fridge and it gets heated up and eaten bit *if you are just cooking the quinoa on the stovetop, by bit. Or not. I made a quinoa salad, thinking that everyone could help put it in a saucepan with the water, bring it to the boil themselves to some when they wanted but I think I’m the only one who then turn the heat down, cover it and simmer on very ate it. Now that I’ve made it sound so appealing, here’s the recipe. I low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it “served” it with boneless skinless chicken thighs that I marinated in sit another 5 minutes. (When I have it, I add finely whatever is handy (Italian salad dressing from Costco) and then cooked chopped kale to the last ten minutes.) in the air fryer because, get this…we don’t even have a barbecue grill. The air fryer does a great job of grilling the chicken and it’s easy to clean.

Toss it all together! It seems to me this is very close to my Kale and Quinoa Salad and surely by now we can all cobble together our own versions with our choice of grain, protein, nut, cheese, herb and veg. But I still get kind of excited when I see a new recipe, you know? Mom is working on another BBQ recipe for August so hold on to your cotton sun hats. But for now she has a nice raspberry coffee cake:

Raspberry Coffee Cake 3 cups all purpose flour 1 Tbsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 1 3/4 cup sugar 2 eggs ½ cup vegetable oil 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup buttermilk* 1 Tbsp grated lemon or orange rind 2 cups raspberries Optional streusel topping - mix together until crumbly: 3 T. butter, melted ½ c. flour ½ c. brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon ½ c. sliced almonds or rolled oats Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9” x 13” pan. Thoroughly combine the dry ingredients. In another bowl, mix together the sugar, oil, eggs, buttermilk, citrus zest, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and berries** to the liquid and carefully fold together just until mixed. Do not over mix. Spread in the pan. Top with streusel if using. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Test for doneness using a toothpick. When slightly cool, drizzle with a glaze made with: 1 cup icing sugar 2 Tbsp of lemon juice. *If you don’t have buttermilk, make a soured milk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup and then filling with regular milk. Mix and let sit 5 minutes. **Alternately, you can spread half the batter without the berries into the pan, then sprinkle the berries over the batter and cover with the remaining batter. The berries don’t get squashed as much but this takes a bit of time. Don’t try to completely cover the berries, just smooth over a bit.

One Nikkei Voice

– TERRY WATADA

THE DOWN EAST CHINATOWN CAFÉ by Terry Watada Editor’s note: Terry is on hiatus. He offers a short story in place of his regular column. He will return. One long counter covered with scratch-resistant Formica and rimmed with an aluminium metal strip dominated the interior of the lone café on the main drag through Greenwood, Nova Scotia. Located twenty miles inland from Halifax, in the flatland of the province’s interior with a few distant stands of trees to break up the landscape, the town was a throwback to the 1950s. Kids as scruffy and exuberant as those in a Ken Danby painting constantly played shimmy on moisture-blackened asphalt while Christopher Pratt scenes lurked menacingly in the interior darkness of houses with screen doors banging in the buffeting wind and rain. Main Street itself led through a gauntlet of small businesses – Harrison’s Grocery, the Live Bait Shoppe, and the Olde Thyme Antiques store – straight to the military base situated just outside the town limits.

Behind the counter perched the usual appliances of a short-order restaurant: coffee and hot water urns, a blender, and a soda fountain. Eight cherry-topped stools slumped in front invited customers to have a seat and read the daily paper, the Greenwood Guardian, its characteristic green paper crinkling with every turn of the page. Rows of mugs and glasses huddled close together on shelves attached to a wall panelled with thin sheets of particle board “fancied-up” with pine veneer. A large functional glass case proudly displayed slices of the daily apple or cream pie. Vintage posters advertising The Pepsi Generation and faded hamburger deluxes with or without fries and coleslaw adorned the other walls, plainly painted. The dining area was taken up by a single row of Naugahyde booths and scattered small tables covered with brown oilskin cloth, each tabletop containing a shiny metal napkin dispenser, salt and pepper shakers and the incongruous bottle of Kikkoman soya sauce.

The menu featured what was claimed to be Canadian fare. A breakfast of two eggs, bacon and toast could be had for $2.99 before ten o’clock. Typical dishes in a typical restaurant. What made the New Canton Café unique and, at the same time, altogether bizarre for the region was its variety of Chinese dishes. I happened to be in “these here parts” because my employer, a suburban college in Toronto, sent me to check on its Long-Distance Education Program at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Greenwood. The installation was a study in military social order. Long concrete structures with precious few windows acted as housing, segregating the inhabitants according to rank – officers, non-commissioned officers and enlisted men and women. The mess, recreation hall and bar were located together in a separate and distinct building. Set off from the main settlement stood the married quarters, roomy twostorey houses, quickly built out of cedar, slapped with tarpaper and aluminium for protection and filled with the pine-veneer furniture and Melmac Chinaware of young married life. The CANEX provided the extras of modern living at below-market prices. From my V.I.P. Quonset house (painted a pastel green so as not to mistake it for the real military, no doubt), I met and questioned the students, teenagers really, about the efficacy of the educational program. Food on the base was, in a word, vile. One day for dinner, I pushed away a congealed brown mass called “Chinese food”, my stomach having turned. The rice was Uncle Ben’s, fried to add insult; the chop suey, egg foo yong and sweet and sour pork came from cans packed by the China Lily company of Toronto, Ontario (much to my chagrin). The next day, the cook served the rice in a concoction he called “minestrone soup”; the day after, he hid the chop suey in mulligatawny soup. Three days of such creative multicultural fare and I was ready for some down-home Chinese soul food. To be continued next month.

OUR EDIBLE ROOTS

The Japanese Canadian Kitchen Garden

Foraging – Foreshore, Forest, and Field

by Makiko Suzuki Unlike most gardeners, Tonari Gumi Garden Club was not lured by the temptation, and possible reward, of planting early; preferring to delay sowing seeds until after the soil had warmed. As a result, spring mustard greens, lettuce, and kabu (Japanese turnip) have already been harvested and reseeded, with ‘new’ Warba potatoes not far behind. Warm weather vegetables progress well, thanks to late June heat. Recently planted: shishito peppers, nasu (eggplant), corn, cucumbers and kabocha. At the TGGC Langley plot, Haskap bushes and their fruit, often considered a cross between raspberry and blueberry, were not affected by the uncommonly late spring. Haskap berries have already been harvested and processed. Farming can be a relentless affair, with one eye glued to The Weather Network and the other on the lookout for predator bugs and bunnies. A failed crop often results in loss of income and food for farming families. No doubt these were the same concerns that faced Issei pioneers, forcing many to supplement their diet with foraged greens. TGGC took up the challenge to trace foraging paths of the Issei: first to the Pacific foreshore to forage nori, then onto forested land near Chilliwack to gather warabi and kogomi and, finally, to the back acres of the Mikurube Farm in Surrey to harvest fuki. Foreshore: Nori-tori Earlier this year, by chance, long-time Tonari Gumi volunteer Kikko Tasaka, mentioned Harry Kishi was about to embark on his annual ‘west coast nori expedition’ and recommended TGGC ask Harry if members could join in. Kikko-san kindly organized an introduction and the project was soon on!

Upon opening the box, grandma would hand out nori for us to gnaw on, albeit somewhat tough and chewy before processing. When toasted over grandma’s wood burning stove, and sprinkled over hot rice, or Harry, his daughter Linnie as driver, my sister Mamiko, TG member Yoshiko in ocha-zuki, it was delicious! We soon learned the Shimizu, and I sailed ‘over seas’, eventually reaching Port Hardy near the importance of nori and other seaweed in the Japanese northeast corner of Vancouver Island. Harry, 92 years-old, knew from Canadian diet! experience the optimum time to harvest nori is on the lowest spring tide Dried seaweed will not rot and can be safely consumed of the year; his secret being to harvest when nori is floating over the years after harvesting if stored dried. A supply of exposed boulder it has affixed to. Both sides of low tide offer a harvesting kelp, nori and kombu from past foraging trips along window when nori floats free and is easy to tear off. (Once exposed to air, the outer west coast, remain ‘at the ready’ for special nori becomes ‘glued’ to rock, rendering harvesting difficult. culinary accents. Our motley crew boarded Harry’s inflatable boat the following morning to forage black nori growing in Hardy Bay. Weather conditions were perfect when we launched. As with many weather-dependent ventures, winds picked up, showers appeared and, like a bonus omen, the outboard motor soon died! While black nori could be seen on distant rocks, we decided to lower risk by paddling to the closest shore. The others waded to shore and hiked to retrieve the car. I managed the boat and was able to scoop up some wakame and low-quality, green nori on the incoming tide. Unfortunately, fine sand on the harvest later proved difficult to wash off - but the harvest, after drying, made excellent compost for the garden. All was not lost!

Forest: Warabi (Bracken) and Kogomi (Ostrich fern) fiddleheads An email from Lucy Matsuda inspired a small group of TGGC volunteers - Mayumi Spry, Eddy Hayashi, David Issawa, Mamiko, and myself - to venture onto the slopes of Chilliwack Mountain, timed to procure fiddleheads for sale at the TGGC table at the June Nikkei Farmer’s Market. This was a challenging endeavour, but fate was with us. Two days prior to the market a van was loaded with volunteers and deployed. Foraging fiddleheads was no longer possible along warmer lowlands where As a young girl, I remember our Ontario family annually receiving, as a fronds had developed. But, on higher slopes, in the gift from relatives, masses of dried nori harvested from Prince Rupert cooler air of the back woodland of Matsuda farm, continued on page 32 shores. A large box of nori was mailed to our grandparents small farm.

Edible Roots continued

No wonder the plant is often called ‘bog rhubarb’! With Garry leading, we soon mastered the technique of pulling stems, squashing initial thoughts about the difficulty of harvesting fuki. An assembly line was formed with pullers, counters (10 to a bunch), banders, and stackers. Over 300 stems were picked and banded for sale at the TGGC Nikkei Farmers Market table! After wedging fuki amongst freshly picked Langley-grown vegetables, we squeezed into our cars, but not before Garry presented wonderful tarts that his sister, Emmy, made for us! The generous spirit of the Mikurube family continues on! fiddleheads were unfurling and in their prime. Buckets in hand, we wandered along the quiet and calming mountainside, bending often to snap warabi stalks. Deeper into the shady woodlot, Lucy guided us to where the crème de la crème of fiddleheads, kogomi, grows. They were difficult to locate, perhaps explaining their high market price. Processing fiddleheads involves cleaning and removal of a papery covering, then lightly blanching. Lucy generously treated us to a sampling of kogomi, served Japanese style (not the overcooked, drowned in butter version). Lucy’s fiddleheads were served with a dash of ponzu sauce and a sprinkling of Katsuobushi (dried shaved bonito flakes). The crisp, delicate green kogomi coated with Lucy’s umami sauce was sublimely delicious and highly addictive! Field: Fuki pulling at the Mikurube Farm At the TGGC Nikkei Market table fresh produce is highlighted - and we mean fresh! Shortly before the June Sunday market, TGGC volunteers, Mayumi Spry, Sharon Hara, Mamiko and myself, harvested vegetables at the Langley farm plot. We then went to Surrey to visit Mikurube Farm. During earlier years, the farm was surrounded by other farms, but no longer. Townhouses, linked by numerous streets and cul-de-sacs, now engulf the property. The farm has become a magical place; an oasis of calmness, steeped in history, amongst the bustle of suburbia. Garry Mikurube was waiting when we arrived on a mission to forage fuki, an indigenous plant from Japan introduced by Issei pioneers. Armed with elastic bands, we marched to the backfield patch of wild fuki, easily identified for their ‘elephant ear’ leaves and sturdy, rhubarb-like stems.

Fuki is processed by steaming and peeling. While typically served with rice infused with a shoyu, dashi, sake/mirin and sugar base, at the market we offered a sampling of lightly blanched fuki, served with Japanese mayonnaise. The distinct flavour of fuki was revealed and all stems soon sold out! All preparations tasted to date have been surprisingly delicious.

National Association of Japanese Canadians Dr. Gordon Hirabayashi Human Rights Award The NAJC Dr. Gordon Hirabayashi Human Rights Award may be presented every two years at the NAJC AGM, in recognition of an individual or organization in Canada contributing to the development or promotion of human rights and equality in Canada. The award is named in honour of Dr. Gordon Kiyoshi Hirabayashi who was known for his courage and leadership in Canada and the U.S. in upholding human rights principles. In May 1942, Gordon Hirabayashi, a college student, a Quaker and pacifist deliberately violated the curfew imposed upon Japanese Americans and officially challenged the government order on the grounds that it violated his constitutional rights. He lost his appeal to the Supreme Court and ended up serving 90 days in prison. Later, after completing his education including a PhD in sociology, he became a Canadian citizen and was a professor at the University of Alberta. He was actively involved in the Edmonton Japanese Community Association and was an active member of the NAJC Council during the 1980s. His influence helped shape the NAJC redress principles and laid the groundwork for future settlements with other groups. ELIGIBILITY • The individual or group must be committed to the ideal, as stated in the mission statement of the NAJC, “to strive for equal rights and liberties for all people, particularly racial and ethnic minorities”. • Individuals or groups must live/operate in Canada • The award will not be given posthumously nor to an organization that is no longer active. • The person may or may not be of Japanese ancestry or a member of NAJC., but supportive of its mandate. SELECTION PROCESS: Nominations will be accepted by email, together with the following documents in a single submission emailed to national@najc.ca • A letter from the nominator (including address, phone number and email) describing the nominee, their volunteer or paid work and accomplishments, as well as why the nominee merits the award. • A curriculum vitae or detailed biography or a profile of the nominee. • Any additional supporting documentation such as articles written by or about the nominee, print materials, internet links or other information. • At least two references (including addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses), who have in-depth knowledge of the nominee’s work and activities, and who may be contacted by jury members to obtain more detailed information. • Deadline for nominations is July 31, 2022 and providing there is a suitable candidate, the award will be presented at the 2022 AGM.

Milestones pastries. John was enormously generous. It always made him so happy to share all of the bounty of his efforts (the salmon, matustake, nori, etc) not only with his local community of friends and neighbours, but also to send as much as he could to his family in the Lower Mainland. After moving to Parksville, he became an expert gardener and while his bounty changed, his generosity remained. We all enjoyed the delicious tomatoes, plums, peaches and beans from his garden that he picked himself just simply for the joy it gave him to share it all. John also would always insist on picking up the tab and we fondly remember him often fighting to grab the bill from a bewildered server before anyone else could.

HAYASHI, John April 28, 1922 - June 9, 2022 It is with broken hearts and much love that the family of John Hayashi announce his sudden passing on June 9, 2022. John is survived by his loving wife of almost 70 years, Yoshiko; his children John (Pat) and Denise (Greg); and grandchildren, Adina (Jeremy), Lisa (Ashley) and Kenji; and his great-granddaughter, Ellie. John recently had his 100th birthday, a very special occasion that was joyously celebrated with his family and with so many loving wishes from all of his extended family and numerous friends. John loved the outdoors. He was an expert fishing in the waters around Port Edward, the Skeena River and Vancouver Island. He would call the tide book his Bible until he realized he didn’t need it anymore. He loved hunting moose, deer and ducks; he was the first in Port Edward to pick Japanese pine mushrooms (matsutake tori); he enjoyed harvesting and drying seaweed (nori), walking along the beaches and taking in the views of the water. He also loved to talk about his fishing, hunting and the outdoors and always so willing and keen to share all of his expertise and wisdom. John loved music and dancing, especially to music of his time. Although generally a reserved person, he wasn’t shy about dancing in public places as he would often get so lost in the music. He loved eating, always ready with a voracious appetite for his 3 meals everyday without fail, and he had a legendary love of

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

This year’s Festival returns to Oppenheimer Park and the surrounding Paueru-Gai neighborhood, located on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh people. We are excited to reconvene with a full-build, in-person festival this year after going online and hosting a hybrid format in the past two years. Applying the lessons from the past years, we will have a livestream component, Festival Connect, allowing those of us who are unable to visit in person to stay connected and enjoy select Festival programming from their homes.

We have a full array of programming over the weekend to celebrate Japanese Canadian arts and culture including; live music, dance, and theatre performances on multiple stages, delicious Japanese food booths, martial arts demonstrations, children’s programming, ikebana, community booths, a sumo tournament and our annual lottery. Our volunteers and Festival Ambassadors, identifiable by their bright hachimaki headbands and happi vests, are on site to help you navigate and enjoy the festival. Our return to the park celebrates the resilience of our community and the strong relationship we have with the current residents of the neighborhood. We strive to connect diverse communities through arts and culture. We have persevered through these unprecedented times together and we will continue to provide a rich cultural experience for our festival goers in a safe, healthy and respectful manner. Thank you for joining us in celebrating the spirit of Powell Street Festival. We hope that you have a great time at the festival and thank you for spending a part of your long weekend with us.

おかえりなさい！理事会、スタッフ、ボランティアを代表して、第 46回パウエル祭へのご参加を歓迎いたします。

今年のフェスティバルは、マスキーム族、スクアミッシュ族、ツレイル・ウォウトゥス族の未承認領土にあるオッペンハイマー公園とその周辺のパウエル・ガイ地区に戻ってきました。過去2年間はオンラインとハイブリッド形式で開催してきましたが、今年は準備万端で対面式フェスティバルを再開できることを大変嬉しく思います。過去2年間の教訓を生かし、ライブストリーミングの要素を取り入れ、直接会場に足を運べない方にも、ご自宅からフェスティバルの選りすぐりのプログラムを楽しんでいただけるようにしています。

音楽、ダンス、演劇のライブパフォーマンス、美味しい日本食ブース、武道のデモンストレーション、子供向けプログラム、生け花、コミュニティブース、相撲大会、そして恒例の抽選会など、日系カナダ人の芸術と文化を祝うために、週末に様々なプログラムを用意しています。また、ハチマキとハッピが目印のボランティアやフェスティバル・アンバサダーたちが会場に常駐し、皆様がお祭りを楽しめるようご案内いたします。

私たちのパークへの復帰は、私たちのコミュニティの回復力と、現在の近隣住民との強い関係を称えるものです。私たちは、芸術と文化を通じて、多様なコミュニティの橋渡しの役目を担うよう努めています。この困難な時代を共に耐え抜き、これからも安全で健康的かつ敬意を持って、フェスティバルの来場者に豊かな文化体験を提供し続けます。パウエル祭の精神に賛同してくださる皆様に、感謝申し上げます。フェスティバルで素晴らしい時間をお過ごしください。また、ロングウィークエンドを私たちと一緒に過ごしてくださり、本当にありがとうございます。

Powell Street Festival

Welcome back! On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff and volunteers, I am happy to welcome you to the 46th Annual Powell Street Festival.

会長の挨拶

#powellstfest @powellstfest

Welcome to the 46th Powell Street Festival! 第46回パウエル祭へようこそ！

But the reality is that we’re all a little changed as we emerge from the pandemic. We return to Paueru Gai, the historic Japanese Canadian neighbourhood of Powell Street, with deep appreciation for the power of relationships and community. We are very sad to say goodbye to our long-time volunteer Kevin Sleziak, as well as our equipment provider Salmon’s Rental. The salmon BBQ and bonsai will also be missed this year.

The Asahi Baseball Association joins us to promote their forthcoming baseball tour to Japan. Attend a Buddhist blessing of the legendary pre-war players in the Demo Area. You’ll find the new Asahi players at the festival’s Asahi Pitch Game in the park.

しかし、現実には、パンデミックを切り抜けながら、私たち全員が少し変わっています。コミュニティや人々のつながる力に深く感謝し、歴史ある日系カナダ人地区であるパウエル街に戻ってきます。

What’s

New 最新情報

Embrace technology and new forms of art: TeamLabinspired Kūsou, an immersive installation and interactive media workshops for children.

UBC students have conceived bespoke water fountains and misters, Fuki no Mizu. Bring your refillable water bottle or participate in our Cup Share program to stay hydrated throughout the festival! Also, for those unable to visit the festival site, Festival Connect will live-stream featured programs and on-location reporting!

第46回パウエルストリートフェスティバルでは、昔のトレンドが巡ってきます！ダイアモンドステージは、オッペンハイマーパークの野球場にあります。現代的、あるいは伝統的なアーティストが週末を通してパフォーマンスを行ないます。また、地域コミュニティの食べ物やクラフトの屋台では、人気の日本の味やデザインが楽しめます。祭りくじ、炭坑節盆踊り、相撲大会など、お祭りの目玉イベントも用意されています。

長年ボランティアを務められたケビン・スレジアックさん（Kevin Sleziak）と、機器を提供していただいていたSalmon’s Rentalにお別れをするのはとても残念です。今年はサーモンBBQや盆栽も今年は残念ながら行いません。

朝日野球協会が参加し、来たる日本への野球ツアーへの意気込みを示します。デモエリアで戦前活躍した伝説的選手の仏教の祝福に参加してください。公園で開催されるパウエル祭の朝日ピッチゲームで、朝日チームに新しく参加した選手を応援できます。

テクノロジーと新しいアートの形を採用：TeamLabにインスパイアされた空相（Kūsou）、子供向けの没入型アートの導入とインタラクティブなメディアワークショップ。

UBCの学生は、カスタムメードの噴水と霧吹き、フキの水(Fuki no Mizu)を考案しました。詰め替えできるウォーターボトルを持参するか、カップシェアプログラムに参加して、フェスティバルの間は水分を補給しましょう。また、来場出来ない方のために、Festival Connectが特集番組や現地レポートをライブ配信でお届けします！

What is old is new at the 46th Powell Street Festival! The Diamond Stage is located at the baseball diamond in Oppenheimer Park; contemporary and traditional artists perform throughout the weekend; and our community food vendors and crafters are offering favourite Japanese delights and designs. Our festival touchstones are in place: the Festival lottery, Tanko Bushi folk dance, and sumo tournament!

Community Care コミュニティ・ケア Thanks to donors and supporters, the success of the Telethon fundraising event in 2020 became a catalyst for unprecedented growth of our DTES Community Care Programs, our grassroots efforts to enhance the community’s well-being. Our DTES Community Care Programs collaborate with:

• WePress Community Kitchen, which prepares 700-1,000 meals per week for the unhoused and precariously housed in the DTES.

• Chinatown Grocery Program and DTES Indigenous Elders Grocery Program, which altogether deliver groceries to 190 underserved elders and SRO tenants per week, thanks to Bing Ho’s family and friends, and the DTES SRO-Collaborative.

• Community Impact Real Estate Society and EMBERS Eastside Works, whose grants support low-barrier employment for people living on low incomes and fulfill key roles in our distribution of meals, care packages and groceries. • PSFS’ Advocacy and Outreach Committee, a team of dedicated volunteers who participate in DTES community-building efforts and organize annual events (see next page)

Our Advocacy and Outreach Committee hosted numerous events that provide capacity-building paid work opportunities, food and resources for DTES residents, and cultural activities which share Japanese Canadian history and culture.

Join us Saturday, August 20, 2022, for the Asahi Tribute Game in Oppenheimer Park. The Annual Vancouver Asahi Tribute Game is a free, inclusive, and family-friendly place to play ball, eat hot dogs and corn, and come together for some summer fun! No previous baseball experience required! This year, we’ll also have a photo booth to take a photo memory home and PSF’s Asahi Pitch Game (if you want to try your hand at throwing without actually participating in the baseball game).

2020年のテレソン募金イベントの成功は、寄付者や支援者の方々のおかげで、地域社会の福祉を向上させる草の根活動であるダウンタウンイーストサイドコミュニティ・ケア・プログラムをかつてないほど成長させるきっかけとなりました。私たちのダウンタウンイーストサイドコミュニティ・ケア・プログラムは、以下の団体と連携しています。 • WePress Community Kitchenは、ダウンタウンイーストサイドの住居のない人や不安定な生活をしている人のために、週に700～1,000食の食事を用意しています。 • Chinatown Grocery Programと DTES Indigenous Elders Grocery Programは Bing Ho氏一家やそのご友人、 DTES SRO-Collaborativeの協力により、食料品を週に190 人の恵まれないお年寄りやSROの入居者に届けています。

• Community Impact Real Estate Society と EMBERS Eastside Worksは低所得者の雇用を支援し、食事やケアパッケージ、食料品の配送に重要な役割を担っています。

• パウエル祭権利委員会は、ダウンタウンイーストサイドの地域づくりに参加し、毎年イベントを開催する熱心なボランティアチームです（次ページ参照）。

パウエル祭権利委員会は、能力開発のための有給労働の機会、ウンタウンイーストサイドの住民のための食事や資源、日系カナダ人の歴史や文化を共有する文化活動などを提供するイベントを数多く開催しています。

2022年8月20日（土）、オッペンハイマー公園で開催されるAsahi Tribute Gameに参加しませんか？毎年恒例のバンクーバー・アサヒ・トリビュート・ゲームは、無料で誰でも参加でき、家族でボール遊びやホットドッグ、トウモロコシを食べ、夏の楽しいひと時を過ごすことができるイベントです。野球の経験は必要ありません。今年は、記念撮影ができるフォトブースや、参加型アサヒピッチゲームも開催しています。

Powell Street Festival

Emmie Tsumura is an interdisciplinary artist of Japanese descent, working in illustration, collage, and graphic design. Merging psychogeography with design research, she is invested in finding ways to reach communities outside of traditional art spaces, disrupting familiar/oppressive narratives, and exploring human relationships to consumption and the urban environment. She is committed to decolonizing her practice and creating responsibly towards empowered, healthy and just communities. She uses art and design as a tool to witness and document the precious, fleeting stories of our lives, to honour and celebrate them, and create moments of joy along the way. She has an undergraduate degree from Trent University in Cultural Studies, and completed a Masters Degree in Design at York University in 2015. She is currently based in Tkarón:to/Toronto エミー・つむらは、イラストレーション、コラージュ、グラフィック・デザインなど様々な分野で活躍する日系人アーティストです。心理地理学とデザインリサーチを融合させ、伝統的なアートスペースの外にあるコミュニティーにアプローチする方法を見つけ、身近で抑圧的な物語を攪乱させ、消費と都市環境との人間関係を探求することに力を注いでいます。彼女は、自身の実践を脱植民地化し、健康的で公正なコミュニティを責任を持ってエンパワメントし、創造することに尽力しています。アートとデザインを、私たちの人生の貴重ではかない物語を目撃し、記録し、それらを尊重し、祝福し、その過程で喜びの瞬間を作り出すための手段として使用しています。トレント大学で文化研究の学士号を取得し、 2015年にヨーク大学でデザインの修士号を取得しました。現在、Tkarón:to/Toronto を拠点に活動中です。

ケビン・スレジアックを偲んで 1966年5月28日～2021 年10月24日ケビンさんは、パウエル祭（PSF）およびダウンタウン・イーストサイド（DTES）のコミュニティでは、多くの団体でボランティアとして働いていたため、多くの人に知られています。ケビンさんは約20年にわたり、ホスピタリティ＆セキュリティチームのリーダーとしてパウエル祭に貢献し、私たちはとても幸せでした。ケビンさんは、多くの住民のリビングルームであり裏庭であるオッペンハイマー公園に、様々な経験や背景、日々の課題を持つ人々の交流を人情味あふれるものにすることを目指し、敬意をもってパウエル祭を開催する方法を学ぶ中心的存在でした。彼は、バウエル祭や近隣の住民に惜しまれつつも、愛され、長く記憶に残ることでしょう。

Powell Street Festival

In Memory of Kevin Sleziak May 28, 1966 – October 24, 2021 Kevin is known to many in the Powell Street Festival (PSF) and Downtown Eastside (DTES) communities because he worked for and was a volunteer for so many different organizations. The Festival was so fortunate to have had Kevin’s help for the past 20 years or so as a leader of our Hospitality & Security Team. Kevin was at the center of our learning about how to bring the Festival into Oppenheimer Park, the living room and backyard of so many residents, in a respectful way that aims to humanize the interactions of people with many different experiences, backgrounds, and daily challenges. He will be hugely missed at the Festival and in the neighbourhood, but he will remain well loved and long remembered!

Watch for volunteers with “I speak (language)” stickers on their name tags. 何かお困りですか？真っ青なハッピを着て無線機を持った、フレンドリーなパウエル祭アンバサダーが会場のあちこちにいます！アンバサダーはパウエル祭のことを熟知しており、もし質問に対する答えがなければ、手元にある無線機で助けを求めることができます。英語以外でのヘルプが必要ですか？名札に「I speak（言語）」を貼っているボランティアを探してください。

Participate in our first-ever Festival CupShare program! 初のカップシェアプログラムに参加しよう！ For a small deposit, you can pick up a Powell St Fest cup at our Cup-Share booth on Jackson Street. When purchasing a drink at a food booth, simply exchange the cup in your hand for a clean cup. Return the cup at the end of the day or weekend for your deposit back. Or, take home your Powell St Fest cup as a festival souvenir. Your deposit will go towards supporting our Zero Waste Challenge Project. ジャクソンストリートのカップシェアブースでは、 5 ドルでPowell St Festのカップを販売しています。フードブースでドリンクを購入する際にはお持ちのカップをきれいなカップと交換するだけです。イベント終了後、または週末にカップを返却すれば、デポジットが戻ってきます。または、パウエル祭カップを記念としてお持ち帰りいただくことも可能です。デポジットは、当団体の「ゼロ・ウェイスト・チャレンジ・プロジェクト」の支援に充てられます。

Her husband had recently passed away, and she was very lonely. She worshipped his memorial tablet every day. One day, a traveling monk came to her seeking a place to stay for the night. She offered him a delicious meal, thinking that he would give her husband a merciful sutra. And the monk did give a sutra....

1994年に設立された日本のアマチュア劇団、座・だいこんは、毎年パウエル祭をはじめとする地域のイベントや日本語学校、老人ホームなどで日本語の芝居や朗読劇を制作・上演しています。演劇は、可能な限り英語の字幕と吹き替えで上演しています。座・だいこんと一緒に、英語字幕付きの日本語による演劇公演をお楽しみください。むかしむかしのことじゃった。ある小さな村に一人のおばあさんが住んでおった。つい最近おじいさんを亡くしたばかりで、寂しくてしかたがない。毎日毎日仏様を拝んでおった。ある日のこと、一人の旅の坊さんがやってきた。道に迷ったので一晩泊めてほしいという。おばあさんは、お坊さんならおじいさんにありがたいお経をあげてもらえるじゃろうと思って、大そうなおもてなしをした。そうしてありがたいお経をあげてもらうことになったのだが…。

Asahi Memorial Service 朝日追悼式 Saturday, 5:00 – 5:15 pm, Demo Area 土曜、午後5時～5時15分、デモエリア The Vancouver Asahi was a Japanese Canadian baseball club in Vancouver. They were one of the most dominant amateur teams in the city. The team played out of the Powell Street Grounds (officially Oppenheimer Park) until the war broke out between Japan and the Allied Forces in 1941. Its members were interned by the federal government and the team was disbanded in 1942. They never played another game even after the war ended in 1945. The Asahi Baseball Association was first established to commemorate the Asahi on the 100 year anniversary and now gives youth the opportunity to celebrate the much-loved sport of baseball and Asahi. On behalf of the Asahi Baseball Association, Reverend Aoki of Vancouver Buddhist Church conducts a memorial service to pay tribute to those Asahi players at the Powell Street Festival. Everybody will be welcome to join the commemoration at memorial service. Every 2-3 years, Asahi Baseball Association form a team to travel to Japan for the players and the parents to enjoy Japanese culture and the Japanese way of baseball. Learn more about their forthcoming trip to Japan at the Asahi Pitch Game in the Interactive Zone. バンクーバー朝日は、バンクーバーにある日系カナダ人の野球チームでした。彼らは市内で最も優勢なアマチュアチームの1 つでした。1941年に日本と連合軍の間で戦争が勃発するまで、チームはパウエルストリートグラウンド（正式にはオッペンハイマー公園）で試合をしていました。メンバーが連邦政府に抑留され、チームは1942年に解散を強いられました。1945年に戦争が終わった後も、彼らが再び試合を行うことはありませんでした。朝日野球協会は、設立100周年を記念して設立され、今ではみんなに愛される野球というスポーツと朝日を祝う機会を若者に与えています。バンクーバー仏教会のアオキ先生が、バンクーバー朝日野球協会を代表して、パウエル祭で朝日の選手に敬意を表して追悼式を行います。追悼式には、どなたでもご参加いただけます。アサヒ野球協会では、2～3年ごとに選手と保護者に日本文化や日本式野球を楽しんでもらうため、日本へ遠征しています。インタラクティブゾーンのAsahi Pitch Gameでは、彼らの日本遠征について詳しく紹介しています。

The Right to Remain! Conversation Circles for SRO Tenants and their Supporters 留まる権利！SRO入居者とその支援者のためのカンバセーションサークル Saturday & Sunday, Vancouver Japanese Language School 土曜日＆日曜日、バンクーバー日本語学校 The Right to Remain Research Collective hosts a series of informal conversation circles, complete with food, film, and fun. A short film about the community’s long-standing pursuit of rent control for SRO tenants, including recent “victories” like the City of Vancouver’s vacancy control bylaw will be featured. Conversation circles will be grounded in the understanding that a key missing ingredient for improving people’s lives is the tenants themselves, who, when adequately resourced, and trusted, know what is best for their own lives and buildings. Just as the Japanese Canadians who once lived in and even built SROs, tenants today find ways to survive, even thrive, against so much adversity through a culture of mutual support and a collective sense of place. Right to Remain Research Collectiveは、食事、映画、そして楽しい時間を過ごすための非公式なカンバセーションサークルを開催しています。バンクーバー市の空室対策条例のような最の「勝利」を含め、SROテナントの家賃統制を長年追求してきたコミュニティについての短編映画も上映される予定です。カンバセーションサークルは、人々の生活を改善するために欠けている重要な要素はテナント自身であり、テナントが十分な資源と信頼を得ていれば、自分たちの生活と建物にとって何がベストかを知っているという理解に基づいて行われます。かつてSROに住み、SROを建設した日系カナダ人のように、現在のテナントは、相互支援と集団意識という文化を通じて、多くの逆境を生き抜き、さらには繁栄する方法を見出しているのです。 Yume.Digital Dreams Gathering Yume.デジタルドリームの集まり Sunday, 3:45 – 4:30pm, Firehall Arts Centre Courtyard 日曜、午後3時45分～4時30分、ファイヤーホールアーツセンターの中庭 Join Julie Tamiko Manning and Matt Miwa, co-artistic Producers of Tashme Productions, for this gathering of Yume.Digital Dream artists.

Displays

展示

Displays are ongoing and located in the Vancouver Buddhist Temple. 展示はフェスティバル期間中バンクーバー仏教会に設置してあります。

Vancouver Ikebana Association バンクーバー生け花協会 Vancouver Ikebana Association is a non-profit organization, featuring Ikebana floral arrangements (Japanese style). Ikebana, the Japanese word for flower arrangement, is based upon certain principles of art which are recognized the world over. The love of lines so characteristic of all Oriental art rather than the appreciation of form and colour is perhaps the most salient feature in differentiating Japanese flower arrangement from all others. They will have ikebana displays and demonstrations inside the Vancouver Buddhist Temple. Demonstrations will be on both Saturday, July 30, 1:30-2:15pm and 4:00-4:45pm, and Sunday, July 31, 1:30-2:15pm. バンクーバー生け花協会は、生け花（日本式フラワーアレンジメント）を専門とする非営利団体です。生け花は、世界中で認められている芸術の理に基づいています。東洋美術の特徴である、形や色彩ではなく、線を楽しむことが、日本の生け花を他のものと区別する最も顕著な点であると言えるかもしれません。生け花の展示やデモンストレーションはバンクーバー仏教会の中で行われます。デモンストレーションは７月３０日（土）午後１時半から午後２時１５分、午後４時から午後４時４５分。７月３１日（日）午後１時半から午後２時１５分の予定です。

Vancouver Save Article 9 バンクーバー九条の会 Saturday, 2:30pm - 3:00pm, 3:30pm – 4:00pm, Vancouver Buddhist Temple 土曜日、午後2時30分～3時、午後3時30分～4時、バンクーバー仏教会 VSA9 was established in 2005; an organization to keep the peace clause, article 9 of the Japanese constitution. The Article 9 display is composed of photos, stories, sketch panels, and historical information concerning the A-bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It shows people the danger of atomic bombs as well as nuclear power plants, which was tragically demonstrated by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant accident. The title of this 2022 display is “Climate and Nuclear Power Plants”, a lecture with slides led by Eiichiro Ochiai. Eiichiro Ochiai is a retired chemistry professor and has been working on radiation issues since Fukushima NPP accident in 2011. バンクーバー九条の会は日本国憲法第9条の平和条項を守るための組織として、2005年に設立されました。広島と長崎の原爆に関する写真、ストーリー、スケッチ、関連する史実を含む展示です。また、福島原子力発電所の事故が示す原子力発電所の危険性も解説しています。今回の2022年の展示タイトルは「気候と原子力発電所」で、落合栄一郎氏を講師に迎え、スライドを使った講演を行います。落合栄一郎氏は元化学教授で、2011年の福島原発事故以来、放射線問題に取り組んでいます。

Interdisciplinary 複数のジャンルに及んだパフォーマンス

Koku & Poet Kokuアンドポエット +Music +Literary Sunday, 1:00 – 2:00pm, Firehall Arts Centre 日曜日、午後1時〜2時、ファイヤーホール・アートセンター

Powell Street Festival

We perform experimental Japanese ambient music and poems in a magical space which have been performed at the Powell Festival many times.

Koku is a musician who performs both in Canada and abroad. He creates a mysterious space using a variety of instruments such as hand pans, didgeridoos, and synths. Sora is a poet based in Vancouver. During the COVID period, we have further devolved each other’s fields to provide a sometimes weird, sometimes moving world of music and poetry. 実験的な和アンビエント音楽とポエムの不思議空間。2人とも何度もパウエル祭で演奏させて頂いております。 Koku-国内外で活動する音楽家。ハンドパン、ディジュリドゥ、シンセなど多種多様の楽器を用いて不思議な空間を演出する。 Sora-バンクーバーを拠点に活動する詩人。コロナ自粛期間中にお互いが各々のフィールドをさらに進化させて、時には怪しく、時には感動的な音楽と詩の世界を提供致します。 Shion & Kisyuu 詩音と姫洲 +Dance +Visual Arts Saturday, 5:00 – 6:00pm, Firehall Arts Centre 土曜日、午後5時〜6時、ファイアホール・アートセンター Dance artist Shion Skye Carter and Japanese calligraphy artist Kisyuu collaborate to adapt traditional and contemporary art forms, while celebrating their shared Japanese heritage. Their short film Flow Tide has been featured in events including Powell Street Festival (Vancouver), Moving Images Video Dance Festival (Cyprus), and the VanLive! LED screen at Granville and Robson Street for City of Vancouver’s Public Art Program. Now, Flow Tide 2022 exists as a live performance, and has been presented across Vancouver. Flow Tide 2022 explores the relationship between contemporary dance and calligraphy. Writing ‘kanji’ using giant calligraphy brushes on fabric, Shion and Kisyuu’s movements are influenced by the tools they use and the surrounding natural environment. Shion embodies the sensation of flowing ink, while Kisyuu’s dance takes place through her brush. Each brushstroke is a call and response, an abstract conversation representing the artists’ connections to their Japanese roots, to their art forms, and to one another. This work began as a film in 2020, and a site-specific performance in 2021; this year’s version deepens the artists’ movement in connection to the larger-than-life calligraphy brushes, presented in a new performance space.

Fuki no Mizu

フキの水

Fuki no Mizu translates to English as “Water from the fuki plant” and contemplates the significance of both water and fuki plants in our communities. As a part of the design process, conversations about water with DTES residents focused on the various functions (as well as pleasures) of water. In consideration of the distribution and access of clean water in our communities, water is also a political tool. Fuki plants are edible and have medicinal qualities. Some are also found today at the sites of former Japanese Internment camps and are symbolic of strength and resilience, while at the same time, reminders of internment and grief. Fuki no Mizu seeks to honour those affected by the water crisis in Vancouver’s DTES; a crisis exacerbated by the COVID pandemic and the recent heat events. In the common interest of gift-giving and sharing, the pavilions can be shared with other festivals in Vancouver and act as an ambassador for PSFS and the DTES. In turn, the modules are built for temporary installment while also considering the longevity of their use, as well as their impact. Fuki no Mizu was designed and built by a team of students from the University of British Columbia School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA). The students are in the Bachelor of Design, Master of Architecture, and Master of Landscape Architecture Programs. Design Team: Sitian Chen, Thea Johannus, Ho Yun Law, Alexander Moses, Manuel Munoz, Rango Sun, Edyta Suska, Shelly Ugalino, Xiao Wei, Liana Zheng, and Bridget Bi. Faculty Mentor:  Mari Fujita Support and Mentorship: Revery Architecture, Abaton Projects, HAPA Collaborative, PFS Studio, JM Engineering, UBC SALA, the UBC SALA Fabrication Lab: Graham Entwistle, Rob Turiff, and David Alba, and Annie Boivin of Perkins & Will.

パウエルストリートフェスティバル協会（PSFS）とのパートナーシップにより制作された「フキの水」は、日系カナダ人の文化を称え、バンクーバーのダウンタウンイーストサイド（DTES）のコミュニティにおける水の供給の不平等を解決することを目的としています。このインスタレーションは、日系カナダ人コミュニティとフキの長年の関係に敬意を表し、喉を潤し涼しさを届ける飲み水を提供する双方向型のパビリオンとなっています。フェスティバルの来場者は、水分補給したり、ミストによる清涼感を楽しみながら、水を讃え、また水に感謝することができます。フキの水は、英訳すると「Water from the fuki plant（フキからの水）」となります。本企画では、私たちのコミュニティにおける水とフキの意義について考察しています。デザインプロセスの一環として、DTESの住民と水について話し合い、水の様々な機能（と同時に楽しみ）に焦点を当てました。私たちのコミュニティにおける清潔な水の提供や利用する権利を考慮すると、水は政治的なツールでもあります。フキには食用や薬用としての効果があります。現在、日本人強制収容所跡地でも見られるフキは、強さと回復力の象徴であると同時に、強制収容と悲しみを思い起こさせるものとなっています。フキの水は、COVIDの大流行と最近の猛暑によって悪化したバンクーバーDTESの水の危機の影響を受けた人々を称えることを目的としています。このパビリオンは、バンクーバーで開催される他のフェスティバルでも利用することができ、PSFSとDTESのアンバサダーとして機能します。その一方で、モジュールは長期間の使用とその影響も考慮されていますが、一時的に設置されることを前提に、長期間の使用とその影響も考慮して作られています。フキの水は、ブリティッシュ・コロンビア大学の建築・造園学部（SALA）の学生チームによって設計・建設されました。学生たちは、デザイン科の学部、建築学の修士、造園学の修士のプログラムに所属しています。デザインチームのメンバー： Sitian Chen、Thea Johannus、Ho Yun Law、Alexander Moses、Manuel Munoz、Rango Sun、Edyta Suska、Shelly Ugalino、Xiao Wei、Liana Zheng、Bridget Bi 教員メンター：Mari Fujita 支援とメンターシップ： Revery Architecture、Abaton Projects、HAPA Collaborative、PFS Studio、Aspect JM Engineering、UBC SALA、UBC SALA Fabrication Lab: Graham Entwistle、Rob Turiff、David Alba、Perkins & Will所属のAnnie Boivin

Martial Arts 武術

Bujinkan Taka Seigi Dojo Vancouver 武神館 Taka Seigi道場 Saturday, 12:30 – 1:15 pm, Vancouver Japanese Language School - Tatami Room 土曜日、午後12時30分～１時15分、バンクーバー日本語学校畳ルーム Senior instructors and students will share martial philosophies and demonstrate a small but important sample of techniques from the 9 schools of the Bujinkan. Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is a Japanese martial system composed of nine warrior schools of Samurai and Ninjutsu traditions with lineage dating back more than 1,000 years. Studied internationally by military and security organizations working in high-threat situations, grandmaster Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi’s Bujinkan system has received many elite awards including two from the Emperor of Japan. No other Japanese martial art has received this. Dai-shihan Paul Mann, 15th dan and head of the Bujinkan Vancouver Taka Seigi Dojo, has travelled regularly to Japan over the past 24 years to study under Dr. Hatsumi. 師範と生徒が武道哲学を共有し、武神館九流派の重要な技の一部の実演を行います。武神館武道体術は、１０００年以上前から侍と忍術の伝統を受け継ぐ９つの流派よりなる日本の武術です。国際的に、危険度の高い現場で働く軍事、保安機関により研究され、初見良昭師の武人館は、天皇陛下からの２つの賞を含む、数多くの賞を受賞しました。他のどの日本武術も天皇陛下からの賞を受賞したことはありません。武術館バンクーバー、 Taka Seigi道場の代表、大師範であるポール・マンは、１５段を所持し、過去２４年以上定期的に日本へ渡航し、初見館長のもと武術を極めています。 BUSENKAI Canada 武仙会カナダ Saturday, 4:30 – 5:00pm, Demo Area 土曜日、午後4時30分～5時、デモエリア BUSENKAI is formed by members of the Tamiya-Ryu Iaijutsu and Iwama Shinshin Aikido Canada branch supervised by Kenny Sembokuya Sensei, student of Hitohira Saito Sensei.

Playing taiko, choreographed with movement, singing, and other instruments. 1990年に結成されたさわぎ太鼓は、カナダ初、メンバー全員がアジア人女性の太鼓グループで、和太鼓に対する共通の情熱によって結集された、東アジアとファーストネーションの背景を持つ多世代の女性グループです。「さわぎ」とは、日本語で「騒ぎを起こす」という意味です。雷鳴の鼓動、ボーカルの旋律、武道の舞台芸術の振り付けで、多様な観客とエンパワーメント、爽快感を共有します。フェミニストと社会正義の理念を支持するためにドラムの力を利用します。さわぎ太鼓の精神、創造性、そしてリスペクトは、ステージの上でもステージ以外でも感じられます。和太鼓の演奏と、動き、歌や他の楽器で演出されています。こちらでビデオをご覧いただけます。http://sawagitaiko.com/ SenJu (千樹） Sunday, 3:00 – 3:30pm, Street Stage 日曜日、午後３時〜３時３０分、ストリート・ステージ SenJu (千樹) is a piano duo with a focus on Japanese music.

Southern Wave Okinawan Music and Dance Society

The Deep Cove ディープ・コーブ Sunday, 4:00 – 4:30pm, Street Stage 日曜日、午後４時〜午後４時３０分、ストリート・ステージ Darkly cinematic and catchy, songs are layered like the clouds that blanket the band’s coastal British Columbian home. The Deep Cove is hard to label, and decidedly out of step with the current musical flavour of the month. The Deep Cove combines literature and music, offering a unique and memorable experience. 暗く映画のようなキャッチーな曲は、バンドの故郷であるBC州沿岸を覆う雲のように層になっています。ディープ・コーブは分類するのが難しく、今の今月の音楽の好みのように、はっきりと一致するものではありません。ディープ・コーブは文学と音楽を組み合わせた、ユニークで記憶に残るような体験を提供します。 The Vancouver Sakura Singers さくらシンガーズ Sunday, 12:30 – 1:00pm, Diamond Stage 日曜日、午後１２時３０分〜１時、ダイアモンド・ステージ The Sakura Singers was formed 50 years ago founded by Mrs. Ruth Suzuki, and was inaugurated into a Society in 2006.

We invite anyone who loves to sing Japanese songs to join us. The Sakura Singers holds its major concert biennially. The Sakura Singers will sing both nostalgic and children’s songs to evoke fond memories of Japan. さくらシンガーズは50年前にルース・スズキ夫人に創設され、2006年に団体として登録されました。日本の歌を広めたり、日系カナダ人の文化への理解を深めるための活動をしています。日本の歌がお好きな方はぜひご参加ください。さくらシンガーズは、2年に一度コンサートを開催しています。さくらシンガーズは懐かしい歌や童謡を歌い、日本の懐かしい思い出を呼び起こします。 Vancouver Okinawa Taiko バンクーバー沖縄太鼓 Saturday, 3:15– 3:45 pm, Street Stage 土曜日、午後3時15分〜3時45分、ストリート・ステージ

Nikkei Place Monthly Update 日系シニアズ・ヘルスケア住宅協会ハイゲンキレストランへの感謝を込めて執筆者：ルース・コールズ日本語訳：ターピン彩乃 20年間、ロバート新見日系ホームと新さくら荘の入居者の方々への食事提供に始まり、アウトリーチ・アクティビティの参加者や一般のお客様にもレストランとしてご利用いただいていたハイゲンキが幕を閉じようとしています。このコロナ禍の厳しい状況の中、多くのレストラン同様、ハイゲンキでも店内の飲食に制限がかかり、ヘルスケア施設に強いられた規制によりさらに厳しい状況となり、事業の存続が難しくなってしまいました。ハイゲンキとの関係は日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会にとても多くの恩恵をもたらしてくれました。多くの入居者の方々がほっとできる日本食の提供は、彼らの安心を支える大きな一因となっていました。また、一般のお客様の間でハイゲンキでの食事の需要が高まり、そうした方々をヘルスケアが身近にある環境に迎え入れることで、入居者の方々が感じていたかもしれない孤立感を和らげるというメリットもありました。

本食の提供に加え、特別な催し時のケータリングをハイゲンキにお願いすることも多々ありました。その都度、ハイゲンキは気前よく、かつ手際よく対応してくださいました。ハイゲンキは日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会、ロバート新見日系ホームと新さくら荘の入居者の方々、アウトリーチ・アクティビティご参加の方々、そして一般のお客様に申し分のないケータリングサービスを提供してくださいました。代わりを探すのはきっと難しいでしょう。今後は、日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会が施設の食事サービスの向上と運営の責任を担っていくこととなりました。詳しくは追ってお伝えする予定です。今後とも皆様からのご支援をお願い申し上げます。私たちが続くべき高い規範を示してくださったハイゲンキへの感謝とともに、未来の事業での成功をお祈りします。お知らせロバート新見日系ホームは設立20周年を迎えようとしています。これを記念し、今年9月に大きな催しを予定しており、日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会は現在その企画を進行中です。詳しくは追って Bulletinげっぽうにてお知らせいたします。

20年とは長い年月です。独立事業ではありますが、ハイゲンキと日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会との関係は互いへの思いもありとても深いものです。ハイゲンキは、フジヤのオーナーである平居茂氏によって設立された家族経営の会社で、平居氏が長い間経営を監督されていました。現在は婿であるジェフ・マツダ氏に経営を譲り、最近では孫であるメーガン・マツダ氏が日々の運営を担当しています。当初から入居者の方々、すなわち高齢者の方々を手助けするという日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会の理念を受け入れ、それをより大きなコミュニティへと結びつけてくださいました。心から感謝申し上げます。平居氏とご家族が日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会の理念を受け入れてくださったことと同様に、採用されたスタッフの皆さんも、理念実行への鍵となりました。平居氏とご家族は一般のお客様と日系ホームの高齢者の方々の要望を満たすため、多くのシェフと給仕スタッフを採用しました。入居者の方々と一般のお客様のニーズの均衡をとるのは簡単なことではありません。しかし、ハイゲンキは高いプロ意識をもってどちらの要望にも応えられるよう対応してくださいました。ハイゲンキは入居者の方々へ多くの食事を提供し、またスタッフの皆さんの辛抱強さや食事の準備や提供に特別なケアを必要とする高齢者の方々への理解にもお礼を申し上げます。高齢者の方々は時として特別食が必要になりますが、ハイゲンキはいつも彼らの要望に思いやりと理解をもって応じてくださいました。ハイゲンキに長く勤め、こうしたことをうまく機能させたスタッフの中でも、ヤマモトシェフとミユキシェフ、そして彼らの意志を引き継いだ現職のスタッフの皆さんは特筆しなければいけません。日系シニアズヘルスケア・住宅協会は、日系ホームでの日々の日

《滄海一粟》航海日誌

元日系ボイス編集者田中裕介

「日系カナダ人史」セミナーに参加しませんか人類の移動史は、越境者の歴史 1967年に始まった「点数制度」でカナダに移住してきた人の中には、「AさんとBさんは、根岸の研修所で一緒だった」という人たちがいる。これは横浜根岸の外務省移民斡旋所のことだ。それを背景に、2002年、ミナトミライ地区にJICA海外移住資料館が完成した。今年はその設立20 周年ということで、展示が刷新されたという。これまで何度も足を運び、親しい学芸員もいる。3階の港が見えるカフェの外には太平洋が広がり、海外雄飛を夢みた先達たちの思いを彷彿とさせてくれる。この７階建て施設は、明治期から海外へ出ていった移民に関する資料館と研修所だ。初めて訪れた2005年、展示場に入ると、壁いっぱいの世界地図が目に入った。それは、「移民史」を＜人類の移動史＞と捉えていた。500万年前に中央アフリカで発生してからというもの、ヒトは絶えず東へ、東へと移動し続け、いくつもの枝葉に分かれてユーラシア大陸を東進した。そして、寒冷地適応した人たちは、シベリアを抜けアリューシャン列島を伝って北米へ向かい、南下して南北アメリカ大陸に定住して先住民となっていった。その足跡を大きな矢印が示していた。ところが、15世紀、大航海時代以降、この「東進」の法則はぐじゃぐじゃになってしまったようだ。それまでは地中海やシルクロード沿道など一定の地域に限られていたヒトとモノの往復、交易が一層頻繁になった。文化変容、ハイブリッド（混合種）、いわく、Glocalization (globalization + localization)の時代の到来である。一方、明治元年以来、日本はハワイ、米国、カナダ、そして南米へおよそ 100万人を送り出して外貨を稼ぐ「出稼ぎ」を始めた。「出稼ぎ」は「ウチから出てソトで生業を営み、糧をウチに持ち帰ること」と定義できるだろう。学術用語では「越境＝cross-boundary」というらしい。

●極私的越境史この「越境」という言葉に多少違和感を感じている。僕の語感では「出稼ぎ」と同義語で、両語ともあらかじめ「帰郷」が予定されていると思う。個人史で説明しよう。僕自身が北海道から上京し、まずは新聞配達少年となって予備校へ通い、某有名大学になんとか入学した。と、そこまでは計画通りだった。ところが、その年はちょうど「沖縄返還」という日本史の大きな節目となる歴史的出来事と重なった。「こんな時に平然と授業を行う大学とは、学生とは何なのか、授業を止めてクラス討論をしましょう」、と息巻く女子学生が輝いて見えたのだ。そして、大学と産業界と米国と沖縄とベトナム戦争が「産学協同」という太い資本のパイプで繋がっていることがすぐに見えてしまった。戦場で人が死ぬ度に世界の軍需産業は潤っているのだと。その時、僕の視点は国境を超えたのかもしれない。13年後、カナダから越境してきた宣教師の娘と武蔵野市で所帯を構えた。すると不思議にも、いつか郷里に戻るものだと思っていた「出稼ぎ」気分がすっと消えて、「都民」である自分を感じたのである。一方、国際結婚した途端に、僕ら夫婦は日本社会の周辺マイノリティとして扱われていることに気づいた。躊躇いもなく「ガイジン」と呼ぶ社会にも違和感を感じだした。そして「越境者」となった。これが僕の移民前史である。

国際協力機構・横浜海外移住資料館

明治期の日本の殖産興業は、海外にいる出稼ぎからの送金が重要な資金源になっていた。ハワイへ多くの移民を送りだした広島県の歳入を見ると、1891年、ハワイ在住の広島県人が送金した総額27万円は、同県の予算額の54％を占めていた。さらに明治30年代に入ると、広島県への海外送金は歳入総額を超えていた。つまり、一世移民たちは、日系史に残る過酷な労働、貧困、冷酷な体制的人種差別に耐えながら、郷里に送金し続けてきたのである。カナダの場合、1891年に神戸の移民業者を通じて広島県民100名がカンバーランドの炭鉱へ送られてきた。ところが、坑夫経験者はわずか数名で、その他は英語もできず就労不能だった。さらに、じきに炭鉱が閉山になったという。彼らは大変な辛酸を舐めながらも、なんとか生き残り、カナダに定住し、郷里との往復を繰り返してきた。2019年、横浜移住資料館でボランティア通訳をしている、孫の一人と出会ってこの話を聞いた。事態を重く見た外務省は、1896年に移民保護法を制定し、以来、JICA などを通じて海外邦人への支援をしてきたが、1980年代のバブル経済期、この海外への流れが逆転した。出稼ぎ労働者受け入れ国に転じたのである。それから30年を経て、日本は入国管理法を改正して海外からの出稼ぎを大量に受け入れる国になった。だが、ホスト社会＝受け入れ側の制度は問題だらけなのだ。まるで、かつて自分たちが海外でくぐり抜けた過酷な労働、低賃金、冷酷な人種差別の試練を、今度は外国人労働者たちに味合わせてやろうとしているかのようだ。 1877年以来の日系カナダ人史から学んだのは、大英帝国の植民地主義体制だったのか。「白人至上主義」がそのまま「日本人至上主義」に転じてしまったのか。僕は、環太平洋をぐるりと巡って、いま、視点は日本列島に戻ってきたようにも感じている。<settler colonialism>の視点で見ると、僕はカナダ先住民とアイヌの両方から「真実と和解」を迫られる立場にあると認識している。これが越境者から見た移民史の終着駅なのかもしれない。カナダに移住してから34年。英語でなく中国語が跋扈するシニア・アパートの６階から見渡すトロントの高層ビル街は、今では越境者が建造したビルの中で、越境者が働き居住する空間である。その向こうには、かつてはモホーク語でTkaronto、つまり「水の中に木が生えているところ」を意味するウォーターフロントが広がる。今日の「カナダ人」が纏う＜カナダ史＞の裏地は、実は各民族の移民史のパッチワークでできているのだと思う。この「裏地」のパッチワークを見てゆくと、表のカナダ史が透けて見えてくる。NAJC移住者委員会が主催する＜日系カナダ人史＞セミナーが９月から始まる。ぜひ、ご参加いただきたい。

●「カナダ史」の裏地は「移民史」国境を越えない越境もある。郷里の札幌市に隣接する旧広島町は、広島からの「開拓者＝越境者」が定住していた。北海道開拓史は旧士族がロシアから国を守り、同時に農耕を営む屯田兵を嚆矢とする。札幌の東屯田通りで育った僕は、貧しくも誇り高き老屯田兵の姿を横目で見て育った。小学校の僕のクラスには、都市部に流れてきたアイヌ家庭の児童が2人いた。道開拓史の裏には、1899年制定の「旧土人保護法」があった。北海道庁は保護の名の下で「未開」の土地をアイヌたちに貸し与えた。農耕など不得手な彼らは開拓者に貸与した。結果は無残なもので、アイヌの貧困化が進み、コミュニティは崩壊し、彼らの文化と言語が奪われた。出稼ぎとなって東京に定住した人たちが、1970年以来、関東ウタリ会を組織して活動を続けている。

Eastsideから見える日本と世界技能実習制度の廃止を訴える全国キャラバン

■新たな外国人材受入れとしての「特定技能」本欄では、日本の技能実習制度の問題点についてこれまで何度か報告してきました。新型コロナウィルス感染症が世界的に拡大して以降、日本は外国人に対する入国制限を長く続けてきましたが、今年に入り、その制限が緩和され、これまで入国できなかった技能実習生が徐々に来日するようになりました。一方で、ずっと指摘されていた技能実習生の労働、人権などをめぐる問題が解決しているわけではありません。日本政府は、新たな外国人材受入れのために「特定技能」という新しい在留資格を2019年4月に開始しました。これは、介護、ビルクリーニングなど国内において人手不足が深刻化する14の業種・職種が対象です。技能実習は目的が技能移転とされているため、適切に指導ができるよう、受入れには人数制限があります。しかし、特定技能は人手不足を補うことが目的とされているため受入れ人数に制限はありません（建設業など制限が設けられている業種もある）。日本では少子高齢化が進み、労働力が不足している多くの労働現場は、受入れ人数に制限がなく、より長期にわたって就労できる労働者を求めています。今後、技能実習から特定技能にいっそう切り替えが進むと予測されていますが、一方で、いまだに技能実習に依存した生産現場、労働現場は全国に数多くあります。その中には、賃金の未払い・不払い、労働安全環境が不十分、ハラスメントなどの問題を抱えているところも少なくありません。

■技能実習制度の廃止を訴える全国キャラバン日本弁護士連合会は2022年4月に「技能実習制度の廃止と特定技能制度の改革に関する意見書」を取りまとめ、国に提出しました。そこでは、技能実習制度が多くの人権問題、ブローカーによる中間搾取の問題などを抱えていること、外国人労働者の権利保障のための施策、外国人労働者とその家族の定住化支援を求めています。そして、技能実習制度廃止を求める市民団体らが中心となり、5月から6月にかけて全国各地で「技能実習制度廃止！全国キャラバン 2022」が行われました。全国各地で技能実習生の支援を行ってきた市民団体、労働組合などが駅前などでの街頭アピール、集会、勉強会などを連日行いました。インドネシア人技能実習生らによるオンライン上のtwitterデモも行われました。そして、最終日の6月12日には、東京・上野でデモが開催され、私も参加してきました。労働者だけでなく、K-POPファンの女性たちも参加し、賑やかなデモになりました。日本は2022年7月に参議院選挙を控えていますが、多くの問題を抱えた技能実習制度の改革につながる政治が実現されることを願っています。

数日前、イーストバンクーバーにあるリサイクルショップのバリュー・ビレッジが火災で全焼というニュースを見ました。カナダに来た初めの年に友達とハロウィンのコスチュームを探しに行ったのがバリュー・ビレッジ初体験でした。その後バーナビーからイーストバンクーバーに引っ越し、お値打ちな洋服やキッチン用品、雑貨などの購入で定期的にお世話になりました。断捨離時には不用品をドネーションする場所としても利用していました。また、仕事の映画撮影時に衣装の調達場所としても利用し、思い出が数多くある場所の一つでした。これを書いている現在では負傷者や死者は報告されていないのでひと安心ですが、イーストバンクーバーで大きな役割を果たしていたお店の今後がどうなるか心配です… 自分にはゴミでも、他人には宝というのは本当で、処分に困っていた物をクレイグスリストに無料であげますと掲載したら大勢から連絡が来たなんて経験があります。イーストバンクーバーにバリュービレッジが復活するのはいつになるか分かりませんがリユーズ、リデュース、リサイクルの精神は続けていきたいと思います。

「パンデミックのゆとり世代」

KAO (a.k.a. SleeplessKao)

アート学校のスカラーシップのクラスがやっと終わった。北米一のゲーム会社、EAが出資している奨学金制度のプログラ KAO ムでコンピューターアニメーションを教えるインストラクターをしています。 EAスカラーシップに参加したという称号を獲得するために毎年意欲的で賢い17歳の子供がやってくるのですが、今年はなんだか例年とは明らかに違っていました。生徒は皆１日も休まず授業に出席。授業態度が悪い訳でもなく一生懸命やっているようにも見える。なのに授業内容の飲み込みがいまいち遅い。課題を出しても一人として期日にできた試しがない。「社会に出たら作品を期日に提出しないのは通用しないよ。今課題は締切に間に合うように！」と厳しく通達する。どうみても皆んなの進行が遅いので心配になり念を押すと「ちゃんとできるよ〜」と皆笑顔で答える。自信満々に言うから生徒を信用するがやはり期日には終わらない。プログラム最後は学校内にある劇場で制作したアニメーションを上映してお披露目会をするのですが、締め切りを２週間すぎても作品を送って来ない。事前に全ての映像をまとめ上げ上映会に備えるのですが、上映会の当日に作品を送ってきた生徒が数人いた。生徒は全く悪びれていない。これには開いた口が塞がらなかった。薄々思っていた事なのだけれど、私の生徒たちだけでなく皆パンデミックによってお気楽な仕事ぶりが板についてしまったのではないかと思うのだ。アート学校の上司と話す機会に授業の進行状況を伝えると、「ここ数年はホームスクールやら授業が zoomだったりと通常通りではなかったから、子供たちもあまり急き立てられず、ゆっくりしているのかもしれないね」その昔日本でも「ゆとり世代」が取り沙汰されていたけれど、ちょっと似たような傾向だなと実感しています。ゆとり世代とは？ここでおさらいです。新しい学習指導要領に基づいて2002年度から実施された、いわゆる「ゆとり教育」を1年だけでも受けたことのある世代です。「ゆとり世代」は競争意識が低めです。厳しく叱られた経験も少ないため、上の世代と比べるとやや繊細なようです。競わせるやり方は効果が少ない競争意識が低いので、競わせて伸ばそうとしてもうまくいくとは限りません。積極性に乏しく最初は物足りなさを感じるかもしれませんが、任せた仕事は合理的、効率的に行う人が多いので頼りになる面があります。打たれ弱いので褒めて伸ばす競争の経験が少ないために、打たれ弱い面があります。強く注意すると能力を発揮できなくなる場合もあるので、褒めて伸ばす指導が向いています。

競争心を煽って、ストリクトに教えて、なんだか全て逆のことをしていたなあ。

Congratulations to the Electronic Arts

2022 Teen Animation Scholars ７月はサマーキャンプの授業が始まるのでキリキリせずに、ゆったりと子供たちに接しよう。そんなこんなで学校の仕事にバッタバタしていますが、サマーキャンプが終わったらパウエル祭が待ってます。皆に面識で会えるのを楽しみにしています。Yay! 寒暖差があるおかしな気候ですが、みなさん体調に気をつけて楽しい夏をお過ごしくださいね。パウエル祭でお会いしましょー（笑顔）
