Japan Lays Out
Welcome Mat
For Tourists

By S. P. CROMIE
in the Vancouver Sun
TOKYO.—This land that’s only
one-seventh the size of British
Columbia is laying out a welcome
mat for tourists from our part
of the world.
And from what I've seen of
Japan, I feel the 90,000,000
people
of these
picturesque
islands will get their share of the
bustling Pacific tourist traffic.
The swiftness of the plane
flight (across the Pacific) will
hardly prepare the traveller from
B.C. for the exotic pattern of
life in these crowded and quaint
islands.
The Japanese is as warm and
friendly a host as you will find
anywhere.. He is neat and clean.
He' lives among an astounding
multitude of beauty spots.
The ease with which we de­
scended on Tokyo from the air
was matched by the efficiency
with which we were ushered
through customs and immigra­
tion.
The officials were neatly
dressed, the epitome of . polite­
ness. I found they were not
making us a special case. All
through my trip I found police­
men, railway men and hotel
staffs courteous and immaculate.
Cleanliness is a fetish in Japan.
The Japanese seem to be con­
tinually sweeping, dusting and
cleaning.
=
Every taxi, for instance, is
equipped with a feather duster.
When the driver isn’t dodging
through the frenzied Tokyo traf­
fic, he may be found dusting out
his car.
The first over-all impression I
got of Japan was one of size, or
rather, the lack of size.
Everything seems to be small,
scaled down to the diminutive
Japanese
stature.
Something
after the fashion of the scaleddown village for children at
Disneyland.
The railways operate on a
gauge of only three feet, six
inches. That’s pretty narrow.
Although I’m only five feet eight,
officials shake their heads pes­
simistically when I book a berth
in a sleeper.
BEARING MASKS
But the Japanese are healthy
looking people and, even in the
poorest districts, well dressed.
Colds are prevalent in Japan at
this time of year so you see
thousands of people wearing face
masks. Apparently this is be­
cause they’ve got a cold and don’t
want to spread it, oi’ because
they aren’t taking chances on
catching a cold from somebody
else.
The women of Japan are un­
commonly pretty, with coal black
hair, pearly teeth and delicate
complexions..
Something I didn’t know before
It ^a^ a^ Japanese women shave
their faces from an early age.
H is a common sight—one that
tases some getting used to, I
inust admit—to see women in a
oarber chair getting a shave.
But western influence is changtng Japanese customs.
Once parents had complete
control over their children’s marnage plans. When two lovers
refused parental 'blessing,
J^en would suicide. It was
Atami that lovers leaped into

Changes in the development of
Kazuo Nakamura as a painter
were noted favorably by Toronto
Telegram critic Rose MacDonald,
who commented as follows on
the Nakamura water color paint­
ings currently exhibited at the
Picture Loan Society, Toronto:
“One has to become adjusted
to the new Nakamura who has
almost entirely, it appears, given
up his short, usually vertical,
razor-blade
strokes.

strictly speaking, he has not be­
come a'literal painter, he is with
an increasing catholicity and
tenderness of palette approach­
ing nature more directly.
“Possibly in his landscapes with
trees he has retained most of
the traditional Oriental feeling
which is his natural heritage.
“Beautifully modulated in ex­
pression is his Low Tide; and
there is a delicate performance
called Mist, involving a bit of

these few paintings is new for
him.

and nursing home to take care
of aged Issei indigents was
strongly recommended by a
group .interested in the work of
the Chicago Mutual Aid Society’s
work. Discussion was heard at
the office of the Japanese Ame­
rican Service Committee office.
K. Joichi, an active member
of the Society, pointed out that
quite a number of aged Issei
are reluctant to use the public
and private homes existing in
the community because of
"language and cultural fac­
tors.”
“Many of these people are un­
attached men without families
and friends able to care of them,
even though they are critically or
chronically ill,” Joichi said.
The possibility of using exist­
ing agencies in the community
and recommending to them a
building of a special wing for the
Issei was raised by Noboru Hon­

Japanese Bride Schools
Teaching Women Ways
Of American Living
TOKYO.—Japanese, w o m e n.
married or about .to be married
to" Americans, are being intro­
duced to American customs,
cooking and homemaking- at spe­
cial "schools for brides.” These provide a concentrated
4-5 weeks’ course sponsored
by the American Red Cross and
military commands to prepare
the bride for life in the United
States.
Such Japanese . women often
have to learn a way of life new
to them. They may know how to
cook the usually austere Japa­
nese meal, but they must learn
now to cook a steak medium
done. American women volun­
teers show them how to make
applie pie, fudge, and other Ame­
rican favorites.
Many Japanese women, accu­
stomed" to cooking with a char­
coal stove, are learning to use an
electric cooker.' They are also
taught how to use such modern
conveniences as washing ' ma­
chines and vacuum cleaners,
which are taken for granted by
American housewives but are
often still unknown in Japanese
homes.
Courses at the brides’ schools
are free of charge and attendance
is voluntary-. Teachers are volunteers.- To be
eligible for the course, a woman
must be married to an- American
serviceman or civilian or have
written permission from a service
chaplain to marry.
Classes are held in Japanese
and English. In one recent course,
the instructors included a Ful­
bright professor, several army
and air force officers, Japanese
and American experts on history,
English language, geography,
and travel..

Personal Noles
Engagements
The engagement is announced
of Atsuko Nishimura, youngest
daughter of Mrs, Shige. Nishimu­
ra of Toronto and the late Jutaro. Nishimura, to Mr. Joe Mat­
sumi Miyazaki, eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs.^ Shinzo Miyazaki of
Fort William, Ont. Sewanin are
Mr. and Mrs. Masaji Ibuki.

The engagement is announced
of Helen Hiroye Marubashi,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hanshichi Marubashi, to Mr. John

Suyeno Kawaguchi, all of Tor­
onto. A party was held last Sat­

“Nijushi no Hitomi’’ is synopsized as follows
in its publicity pamphlet:
A lyrical film depicting the ties of trust and
affection between a woman school-teacher and
her pupils over a period of years as history changes their lives.
Twenty years ago Hisako Oishi (played by Hideko Takamine)
is the newly-arrived teacher of a small primary school on Shodo
Shima, a picturesque island in the Inland Sea of Japan. There are
twelve pupils in the first grade when she takes charge of the class.
When she stands before the class for the first time the twelve pairs
of eyes that regard her are trustful and friendly—so much so, that
she decides to dedicate her entire life to teaching- at this tiny island
school.
,
Then Japan is plunged into war which robs Hisako of her hus­
band and some of her former pupils as death takes its toll. A year
after the war’s end finds Hisako gray-haired, but her spirit un­
broken. She decides to go back .to teaching to support her children.
It is then, in a. heart-warming scene, that the six', surviving pupils
present Tier with a bicycle and wish iier success.

Flyers Play Best Hockey of Season to Beat
Runner-Up Team; Hang on to Fourth Place
By EDDIE HISAKI
Double S Tile, playing their
best game of the season, up­
ended the second rung Willison
Motors sextet via a 1-0 calcimining. As a result, Flyers remained
deadlocked for the fourth and
last playoff spot with River
Snack Bar, who had upset league­
leading Dependable Caterers in
the opening match of the after­
noon. Both teams have 14 points
on seven victories.
The Nisei victory was strictly
a team effort. There were no
weak links in the Flyer chain—a
complete ‘reversal of form from
the previous Sunday’s game,
when the Niseis absorbed a 9-3
lacing. Leech-like checking, lots
of hustle and hard-skating, plus
an all-out effort by every player
sent on • the ice by coach Mas
Nakao, contributed to the winn­
ing formula.
Per usual, Flyers started out
fast, testing the Willison netminder with several toughies in the
first stanza. They had much the
better of the play in that 30
minutes. Al Kerr at the other
end had a few anxious moments,
too, but performed histrionics to
hold Motors scoreless.
Sho~Mori, returning to the line­
up after a three-week sojourn,
emerged the hero, scoring the
only goal of the game—and a
masterpiece it was, too. Pickingup Ken Edamura’s perfect pass
up the middle, Sho swung around
an opposition, rearguard and let
