Continuing a rich tradition of crosscultural adaptations, Lee swaps six-shooters for samurai swords, transposing the classic western to Meiji-period Japan. The film was screened in the Special Presentation section at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and was described by Artistic Director Cameron Bailey as follows: "Jubei Kamata (Ken Watanabe) is a widowed father and infamous former swordsman who spends his days tending a struggling farm. His commitment to pastoral tranquility is tested when Kingo Baba (Akira Emoto), an old comrade in arms, brings news of a bounty substantial enough to secure his children's future: the prostitutes of a neighbouring village have pledged 1,000 yen for the lives of the bandits who mutilated one of their own. Rustily and somewhat reluctantly, Jubei joins Kingo in the saddle, along with a brash young braggart named Goro (Yûya Yagira). Together, they fancy themselves more than a match for the wanted men. But they are also destined to encounter a far more formidable faction, led by a sadistic lawman (Koichi Sato) with a distaste for soldiers of fortune. Lee wisely retains the spine of David Webb Peoples's acclaimed screenplay, but adds several notable flourishes of his own. A subplot concerning Japan's indigenous Ainu squares his update with the broader western tradition of depicting the plight of aboriginal peoples at the hands of so-called civilizing forces. Lee also refashions the film's climactic standoff to stunning effect, conceiving a fiery new finale that is certain to see his Unforgiven become iconic in its own right.” We will also be joined that evening by Goro Koyama, internationally acclaimed foley artist whose most recent work, on Robert Redford’s All is Lost, is nominated for this year’s Academy Award for best sound. Goro helped create the sound effects for Unforgiven and will demonstrate for us some of his techniques for creating sound effects for a major international film. His other credits include The Help, 42, Elysium, Alice in Wonderland and American Hustle. The screening will also be proceeded by the announcement of the Toronto Japanese Film Festival 2014 line-up. Date: Time: Admission: Foley artist Goro Koyama Thursday March 27, 2014 7:00pm $8 JCCC members, $10 non-members Seeking Volunteers for JCCC Monthly Movie Night The JCCC is currently seeking volunteers to help out regularly at our monthly movie night. Movie nights are usually scheduled on the last Thursday evening of each month (no movie in December), and we are looking for volunteers who are able to help with ticket sales, snack sales, and tidy up the theatre after screening. We welcome the volunteers who help on the evenings to stay and watch the movie for free! For more information, please contact Yuki at volunteer@jccc.on.ca. Line-up of movies screened at this year's festival will be announced on March 27, 2014. 3 JCCC Annual Bazaar The JCCC Annual Bazaar committee is busy organizing our biggest one-day fundraiser of the year! So mark your calendar for Saturday May 3, 2014 from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. You won’t want to miss any of the bargains!! As usual, the Annual Bazaar is a shopping extravaganza with great deals on Noritake tableware, logoware, lawn accessories, gardening items, starter plants, baked goods, etc., plus lots of white/pink elephant treasures and of course our Silent Auction with some great products to bid on. There will also be lots of food for sale such as sushi, udon, tempura - for take home or dining in while you take a break from your shopping spree. Please come and support your JCCC! We welcome donations of all kinds – baked goods (including cakes, pies, cookies, squares, etc), Japanese food (including manju, sekihan, chirashi, bento, etc), white elephant, new products, etc. Non-perishable donations can be dropped off at the JCCC reception desk anytime after April 1st.

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

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

Nostalgia Night is July 5, 2014 Nostalgia Night is coming on Saturday July 5, 2014, and after last year’s sell-out success, you won’t want to miss this event! Nostalgia Night’s main focus is to recognize the work that various organizations within the Japanese Canadian community have contributed towards the cultural and social development and well-being of our community over the years. It has also become a great opportunity to catch up with friends and acquaintances, mingle with members of the clubs and organizations being honoured and - of course - enjoy great Japanese Canadian food!! This year’s Nostalgia Night honours four clubs - Bunka Shishu, Ikebana, Shodo, and Sumi-e - each of which have supported the development of Japanese cultural arts over the years. So mark the date on your calendar to join us for this wonderful celebratory event, and look for information in upcoming newsletters!! Transformation Ochawan continues to March 31 by John Ota The edible part of the exhibition reception on Sunday afternoon, Feb 2 was ochazuke – green tea on steamed, white rice with a selection of colourful toppings: umeboshi, furukake, tidbits of nori and takuwan, and assorted tsukemono. Yum! The 71 ochawan on exhibit in the gallery boast a similar diversity of ingredients. Starting with blank, white bowls, artists and non-artists (participants ranged from 5 to 88 years of age) used materials such as bamboo, brown sugar, indelible markers, finger-nail decals, photographs, alabaster, gummy worms, and raw rice to express beautiful thoughts, humour, and social concerns. There were bowls that had been cut in half, or broken and reconstructed (one was left in shards). Some were painted or written on. All were fancifully altered in appearance and meaning. Elegantly presented on wall shelves, display stands and a central banquet table, Transformation Ochawan is a glittering visual feast and well worth going back for second helpings. It’s a lot to digest. Many of the ochawan are for sale by silent auction which ends on the final day of the exhibition. Gallery hours are 9:00am – 9:00pm daily. The JCCC gratefully acknowledges the sponsorship of Toronto Chapter NAJC for this project. Photos courtesy of Kathy Yamashita. Sedai Corner Leaving Behind Answers Although the brunt of this year’s harsh winter weather is hopefully past us, the loss of family, friends, and community members in recent years as well as more recent months, brings to the forefront the place and role of leaving behind a record. If we leave behind answers, future generations will be able to find that much more meaning behind the questions which will inevitably be posed. And finding a meaningful way to record and preserve your memories and history, can be an experience that also brings much laughter and creates wonderful new memories. Sedai would like to thank Mitsy Kuwahara for the contribution of her time and memories of her late father Shigeyuki “Shig” Yoshida, the warmly remembered Boy Scout Leader in Tashme. Shig Yoshida remained in the warm collective memory of several of Sedai’s interviewees, and through preserving his legacy, we hope to honour his contribution to the community. Also, as mentioned last month, the JCCC’s annual Sakura Gala would like to highlight and honour the countless Jewish Canadians who showed great humanity to many Japanese Canadians resettling east of the Rockies following WWII. To those who have already stepped forward with letters and phone calls, we give our thanks! This piece of Canadian history has gone largely unacknowledged – many Canadians in and outside of the Jewish Canadian population have little knowledge of this time period nor this historical gem of Canadian multicultural acceptance, and we hope to pay proper tribute to those who pushed aside racism during a difficult period of time. And for those who may have anecdotes or recollections that could aide the JCCC and Sedai in better understanding the connections that were made between the Jewish Canadian and Japanese Canadian communities, we eagerly invite you to step forward and contact us. And as always, if you or a loved one have memories (however many or few!) which you feel should be recorded and preserved, please contact Elizabeth Fujita, Sedai Project Coordinator, at elizabeth.fujita@jccc.on.ca or 416-4412345 ext 303. From the Nikkei Heritage Resource Centre Our volunteers have remained busy in spite of the unquestionably cold and snowy winter that we are having. They are busy working on cataloguing the JCCC’s collection of photographs, documents, dolls, kimono and artefacts! Make sure that you come into the Nikkei Heritage Centre during your next visit to see some of our newest donations and finds from our collection. 7 Toronto Fukuoka Kenjinkai AGM and Social Nagata Shachu in collaboration with Alcvin Ryuzen Ramos by Toronto Fukuoka Kenjinkai by Nagata Shachu The Toronto Fukuoka Kenjinkai AGM and Social will be held on Saturday March 29, 2014, from1:00pm to 6:00pm at the JCCC.
