Islands of Aichi: Sakushima あいちの離島:佐久島
Did you know that Aichi Prefecture has a number of islands that
you can get to in under two hours from Nagoya? Himakajima (日間
賀島), Sakushima (佐久島) and Shinojima (篠島) are also great places
to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday urban life,
either for the day or overnight.
This issue we take a look at Sakushima.
Located almost in the middle of Mikawa Bay, between the Chita
and Atsumi peninsulas, Sakushima is accessed via Isshiki Port (一色
港) in Nishio City (西尾市). With a population of around 250, and an
area of 173 hectares (around 3 times the size of Tokyo Disneyland), the island's total coastline measures around 11 km.
Sakushima has no traffic lights, no convenience stores, and time
seems to pass at a more relaxed pace. More than 80% of the
island is woodland, so visitors can enjoy its abundant natural
environment, as well as the nostalgic atmosphere of the old
fishing villages.

・The Garden of Sakushima,
Matsuoka Tōru
(Ōshima 2006-2009)
A representation of Sakushima and
its environs in microcosm, the
mounds in the center of the
garden represent Sakushima's
Ōyama, Endayama, Akibayama and
Fujiyama, and there's also a
fanciful 'Benten bird.' The paths are paved with crockery used by
the islanders, and the tile stepping stones express the path over
the sea to the mainland.
・Easthouse, Minamikawa Yuki
(Ōshima Pier Pocket Park 2010)
Located in the eastern district,
hence the name, this white
box-like artwork contrasts with the
black O-hirune (nap) House, which
is visible on the opposite shore. The
roof can be reached via stairs.
Avoid the roof on windy days.
The Black Pearl of Mikawa Bay - the cluster of
black-walled dwellings
Black-walled houses line the
streets, particularly in the area east
of the Benten Salon (弁天サロン).
The narrow, winding streets add to
their charm. Sōunji Temple (崇運寺),
said to have accommodated
Tokugawa Ieyasu, is full of history,
having been established in the
Kamakura period.
An Island of Art
A project seeking to revitalize the island through art began in
1996, and a variety of art events are held throughout the year.
Visitors can also partake in an "art picnic," and search for the
numerous artworks located around the island to complete a stamp
rally.
There is also a short "pilgrimage route" comprising 88 hokora (祠 /
small shrine housing a statue), originally erected around a century
ago, many of which were lost over the years but have recently
been replaced and renovated with some artistic innovation.
Here is just a sample of the unique artworks to be found as you
explore Sakushima.
・Seagull Parking, Kimura Takahito
(Ōura Beach 2005)
On the windy isle of Sakushima,
the wind has many names. The
eastern wind is known as "kochi"
(also used in Heian period poetry),
the southern is called "maze", and
so on. This artwork is an installation for viewing the wind.

Kiyosu City Haruhi Art Museum: The School of Paris - The Dreams of Strangers That
Bloomed in Paris 清須市はるひ美術館「エコール・ド・パリ −パリに咲いた異邦人の夢−」
Paris in the 1920s and 30s captured the world's attention as the center for the arts, drawing talented young
painters and sculptors from all over the world. Among them, the artists collectively known as the School of
Paris, while inspired by the variety of artistic styles and theory being experimented with in this period, pursued
forms of individual expression based on their own sensibilities, feelings and ethnicity. Although many of them
came from foreign lands, a number of French-born artists who developed their own unique styles of painting,
such as Marie Laurencin and Maurice Utrillo, were included in their number.
This exhibition brings together works mainly by Jules Pascin and Marc Chagall but also paintings and prints by
artists including Moïse Kisling, Chaïm Soutine and Tsuguharu Fujita (Léonard Foujita), from the Hokkaido
Museum of Modern Art (the premier School of Paris collection in Japan); and sculptures worthy of the School
of Paris by Alexander Archipenko, Ossip Zadkine and Jacques Lipchitz from the collection of the Sapporo Art
Museum. See a creative world brimming with individuality, by artists who ran through their era living for love
and liberty.

Income tax and resident tax 所得税と住民税
In Japan, individual taxpayers are subject to nationally-levied
income tax and locally levied resident tax on their income.
Individual taxpayers are classified as Resident or Non-Resident;
residents are subclassified as Permanent Resident or Non-Permanent Resident; this classification is important in determining the
scope of taxable income for income tax purposes.
・Resident (居住者): An individual who has a “Jūsho (住所 /
domicile)” in Japan, or who has had a “Kyosho (居所 / residence)”
in Japan for one year or more. A resident without Japanese
nationality who has had a domicile or residence in Japan for five
years or less in total in the past 10 years is classified as Non-Permanent Resident. A resident who does not fall under this category is
classified as Permanent Resident.
・Non-Resident (非居住者): All individuals who are not Residents.
How to pay income tax
Individual income taxpayers are processed as either “residents” or
“non-residents”:
1. Residents
Income tax is levied on private income (profit received after
deduction for expenses, etc). The taxpayer completes a tax return
after calculating both their income and tax amounts, and then
pays their income tax when filing the final return (確定申告 / Kakutei
shinkoku) at the relevant tax office. However, in the case of earned
income, employers (salary or wage payers) pay employees’ income
tax by withholding a fixed amount at source from their wages
(calculated in accordance with a specified method) and paying the
tax authorities (源泉徴収 / Gensen chōshū).
For example, a salaried worker will have a part of their monthly
wages and bonuses deducted at source by their employer, and if
there has been an application for an income tax rebate to the
employer on behalf of the employee, the company will make a
year-end adjustment (年末調整 / Nenmatsu chōsei) for the employee
in December to settle the difference between the total amount of
withholding income tax actually withheld from the monthly
payments in the year and the annual tax liability to be withheld
from the total of those payments. Most salaried workers have their
annual income tax affairs settled by the year-end adjustment
(Nenmatsu chōsei) and do not need to file a final tax return
(Kakutei shinkoku).

Getting caught out on a Sunday or a holiday can be very
stressful if you aren’t prepared.
A full list of emergency clinics can be found at
http://bit.ly/emergency-nagoya-clinics.
If you require any further information, you can contact NIC on
052-581-0100 or e-mail: info@nic-nagoya.or.jp.
2. Non-residents
In principle, 20.42% of income earned during the employment
period in Japan will be withheld at source.
However, non-residents are required to file a final return should,
for example, income derived from office(s) and/or real estate for
rent in Japan exceed a certain amount.
◆What
is resident tax?
Resident tax is a local tax that is levied separate to income tax,
which is a national tax. It is formed from municipal tax and
prefectural tax on a per capita levy and per income levy. Resident
tax and prefectural tax in relation to individuals are levied and
collected together by the municipal bodies.
Foreigners who have a domicile within Japan as of January 1 (base
date for assessment) must pay residence tax based on their income
from the previous year to the municipality in which they live by
January 1.
In addition, a foreigner who has a house, office, or business place
within the ward as of January 1, but does not live in the ward is
subject to only a per capita levy.
How to pay resident tax
The resident tax is usually paid in four installments: June, August,
October and January of the following year, upon receipt of a Tax
Notice or Tax Payment Slip sent by municipal tax offices. If you are
a salaried employee, the resident tax is divided into 12 installments
and withheld from your salary on a monthly basis from June until
May of the following year on the basis of a notice from the City of
Nagoya.
The resident tax is calculated based on total income received in the
previous year and collected during the following year. Those
currently living in Japan as of January 1 each year and had income
during the previous year must prepare a resident tax report and
submit it to the municipal tax office in charge of the area in which
they live not later than May 15 of each year.
If your salary was your only source of income in the previous year
and you received year-end adjustments through your company, or
if your total income was filed by March 15 on your final return of
national income tax of the previous year, you are not required to
submit your resident tax report.
