HOMECOMING
By H. SHIGEI
With my cheek pressed against
the windotr pane of a westbound
train, I have been Avatching the
passing scenery of a late sum
mer day. It’s beginning to get
dark, and I can only make out
the vague outlines of Avoods, fields
and farmhouses. Only headlights
of
automobiles
punctuate the
darkness like fireflies. The train
is hurrying to its destination
which is already discernable in
the distance where a. dim glow in
the sky is lighting up the over
hanging smoke.
I am going home. What a pleas
ant and heart-throbbing feeling it
is to return after so long an absence! I had dreamed about this
moment long before my studies
were finished at Kingston.
There is a soldier sitting next
to me Avho is going back to his
home in Vancouver. We had been
talking about that city, but I felt
no desire to regard Vancouver as
my home. I tried to recollect the
pleasant days I had spent there
both as a child and as a young
student, but the memories Avere
tinged Avith the bitterness Avhich
I felt so acutely during evacua
tion days.
The train is passing Danforth
station. The passengers are be
ginning to stir. I can hear a
group of soldiers yelling trium
phantly like the Avay Indians do
in movies. . . .
It was exactly three years ago
that with fear and eagerness for
adventure in my heart, I looked
at Toronto through a train win
dow, just as I’m doing now. It
was a strange and an indifferent
place then, but now. it
no
longer a strange city. For I had
made friends with it. and now it
is welcoming me back.
A brightly-lit living room of
somebody’s home just flashed
across the window. For a brief
moment, I saAv an intimate scene
of people laughing, a man reading
a newspaper in a comfortable
armchair, and a girl sitting at a
piano. The scene stirred my imag
ination, and I could almost hear
the music and laughter . . . even
smell dinner cooking in the kit
chen. I felt hungry—hungry for
home - cooked
dinners,
and
I
thought of my oavu home, my
living room.
*
$
When I first came to Toronto, I
moved from one rooming house
to another. I can remember the
discomforts and the loneliness I
felt. Then the family came, and
we managed to rent a small home.
It was a strange neighborhood,
but the next morning our neigh
bor came over and helped cut our
lawn. He was a kind old man, and
we became friends. They invited
By C.K.
me over on Christmas. 1
his so is back irom ove
now. .
s
And the corner
store
where Suzy will serve me cokes.
The man at the
station who
always
"good
mornins:."
That Greek grocery oAvner Avould
be delighted to see me back. Of
course the Macedonian restau
rant dAvner in the next block, big
Steve Ave call him, must be busy
as usual rushing around and wiping his huge forehead, They are
all a part of my new home. 1
felt a strong desire to burst out
laughing. but at the same time
there was a foolish fear in my
heart that all may not be
expect.
V e aren't the only ones with
homes in Toronto now. A new
crop of Toronto born Japanese
Canadians is coming up. Bob, Avho
came into Toronto Avith me three
years ago told me last week that
his Avife Avas expecting. What a

HOMECOMING
By H. SHIGEI
With my cheek pressed against
the windotr pane of a westbound
train, I have been Avatching the
passing scenery of a late sum
mer day. It’s beginning to get
dark, and I can only make out
the vague outlines of Avoods, fields
and farmhouses. Only headlights
of
automobiles
punctuate the
darkness like fireflies. The train
is hurrying to its destination
which is already discernable in
the distance where a. dim glow in
the sky is lighting up the over
hanging smoke.
I am going home. What a pleas
ant and heart-throbbing feeling it
is to return after so long an absence! I had dreamed about this
moment long before my studies
were finished at Kingston.
There is a soldier sitting next
to me Avho is going back to his
home in Vancouver. We had been
talking about that city, but I felt
no desire to regard Vancouver as
my home. I tried to recollect the
pleasant days I had spent there
both as a child and as a young
student, but the memories Avere
tinged Avith the bitterness Avhich
I felt so acutely during evacua
tion days.
The train is passing Danforth
station. The passengers are be
ginning to stir. I can hear a
group of soldiers yelling trium
phantly like the Avay Indians do
in movies. . . .
It was exactly three years ago
that with fear and eagerness for
adventure in my heart, I looked
at Toronto through a train win
dow, just as I’m doing now. It
was a strange and an indifferent
place then, but now. it
no
longer a strange city. For I had
made friends with it. and now it
is welcoming me back.
A brightly-lit living room of
somebody’s home just flashed
across the window. For a brief
moment, I saAv an intimate scene
of people laughing, a man reading
a newspaper in a comfortable
armchair, and a girl sitting at a
piano. The scene stirred my imag
ination, and I could almost hear
the music and laughter . . . even

When I first came to Toronto, I

felt. Then the family came, and
we managed to rent a small home.
