The year wanes, the snow fails amid the icicles,

in June, hoping to ease existing discriminatory’ re
strictions on the immigration to Canada, of relatives
of Japanese Canadians; The Nipponia Home, a

TIie Delicate Pungency
Of East-West Romance
i
few
By KEN ADACHI
Kraft
The vogue for things Japanese will never re
place the Western on the Hollywood screen, but
over the past year there has been a spate of
movies that have utilized Japan as setting, EastWest inter-racial romance, Japanese actors, Ja
panese history, the Pacific war, and so on. Peo
ple who like these aspects have never had it so
good since the days of the “Yellow Peril” anti
Japanese celluloid antics.
Before and during'the last war, the Japanese
were constantly paraded on the screen as a sly,
treacherous, fanatical, and thoroughly unfathom
able lot, never really up to any good. But now

The Geisha
there is that astounding and voracious appetite
for Japanese art, architecture, poetry, etc., which
does not appear to be abating in the slightest.
And there is consequently some attempt to em
brace and understand aspects of the Japanese
way of life. '
It is even embraced by the Beat Generation—to the point of ludicrousness—especially in the
novels of Jack Kerouac, one of the leaders of
that curious rebel cult. Together with jazz and
benzedrine and girls, Zen Buddhism becomes one
of the rallying cries of the Beat Boys. They are
abandoning the Episcopalean church en masse
and taking to the hills for Zen Buddhism, in
search of Dharma, or The Truth.
The movies, too, reflect the growing taste for
the exotica that Japan offers. In comes the wild
scent of miscegnation, the opulently photograph
ed exploration of the hot-house delights offered
by the scenic country, the bevies of kimonoclad girls, the sugared contrivance of the tea
ceremony, and all that. And so Sayonara becomes
a aemendous box-office success, followed by The
Barbarian and The Geisha and The Wind Cannot
Read. The latter is a British film, and that finally
makes the East-West theme a trans-Atlantic
movie commodity.
The Geisha, is convincing- when standing imper
turbably in front of the mouth of a cannon about
to fire on an approaching American vessel, and
when being thrown by a pint-sized judo- expert.
But strip Wayne of his diplomatic dress, and it is
easy to visualize him in cowboy-and-gun regalia
and drawling his lines in that manner which he
has got down by rote. He might be just another
marauding Tartar chieftain encountering a
broken blossom and saving- her from several fates
worse than death.
All three of the films turn on the inter-racial
romance, the Rudyard Kiplingesque theme that
has been dramatized many times since Shake
speare’s Othello and Puccini’s Madame Butterfly.
They all end variously: in Sayonara it is a dual
tragic-comic ending: tragic because of the inevitability of the bloody . end of the Red ButtonsMiyoshi Umeki romance: comical because one
wonders what is to happen to Lloyd Gruver and
Hana-ogi after they settle down to the rigours
and tensions of marriage.

Of East-West Romance
i
few
By KEN ADACHI
Kraft
The vogue for things Japanese will never re
place the Western on the Hollywood screen, but
over the past year there has been a spate of
movies that have utilized Japan as setting, EastWest inter-racial romance, Japanese actors, Ja
panese history, the Pacific war, and so on. Peo
ple who like these aspects have never had it so
good since the days of the “Yellow Peril” anti
Japanese celluloid antics.
Before and during'the last war, the Japanese
were constantly paraded on the screen as a sly,
treacherous, fanatical, and thoroughly unfathom
able lot, never really up to any good. But now

there is that astounding and voracious appetite
for Japanese art, architecture, poetry, etc., which
does not appear to be abating in the slightest.
And there is consequently some attempt to em
brace and understand aspects of the Japanese
way of life. '
It is even embraced by the Beat Generation—to the point of ludicrousness—especially in the
novels of Jack Kerouac, one of the leaders of
that curious rebel cult. Together with jazz and
benzedrine and girls, Zen Buddhism becomes one
of the rallying cries of the Beat Boys. They are
abandoning the Episcopalean church en masse
and taking to the hills for Zen Buddhism, in
search of Dharma, or The Truth.
The movies, too, reflect the growing taste for
the exotica that Japan offers. In comes the wild
scent of miscegnation, the opulently photograph
ed exploration of the hot-house delights offered
by the scenic country, the bevies of kimonoclad girls, the sugared contrivance of the tea
ceremony, and all that. And so Sayonara becomes
a aemendous box-office success, followed by The
Barbarian and The Geisha and The Wind Cannot
Read. The latter is a British film, and that finally
makes the East-West theme a trans-Atlantic
movie commodity.
The Geisha, is convincing- when standing imper
turbably in front of the mouth of a cannon about
to fire on an approaching American vessel, and
when being thrown by a pint-sized judo- expert.
But strip Wayne of his diplomatic dress, and it is
easy to visualize him in cowboy-and-gun regalia
and drawling his lines in that manner which he
has got down by rote. He might be just another
marauding Tartar chieftain encountering a
broken blossom and saving- her from several fates
worse than death.
All three of the films turn on the inter-racial
romance, the Rudyard Kiplingesque theme that
has been dramatized many times since Shake
speare’s Othello and Puccini’s Madame Butterfly.
They all end variously: in Sayonara it is a dual
tragic-comic ending: tragic because of the inevitability of the bloody . end of the Red ButtonsMiyoshi Umeki romance: comical because one
wonders what is to happen to Lloyd Gruver and
Hana-ogi after they settle down to the rigours
and tensions of marriage.

Season’s Greetings
The wintry discontent will be transformed into glorious summer
if you have a Japanese girl like tliis around. We submit this picture
for no other reason than to help brighten the cold, dull season. Look
carefully, for she is a classic beauty, with sculptured face and willowy
torso—quite unlike tlie traditional doll-like Japanese beauty to which
we are accustomed.

Season’s Greetings
The wintry discontent will be transformed into glorious summer
if you have a Japanese girl like tliis around. We submit this picture

carefully, for she is a classic beauty, with sculptured face and willowy
torso—quite unlike tlie traditional doll-like Japanese beauty to which
we are accustomed.

(Continued from Page One)
THE JCCA PICNIC—A .-MIRROR
OF TORONTO’S JAPANESE
CANADIANS
Last July, something like 3500 to 4000
people attended Toronto JCCA’s annual
picnic—and they came in 750 caps. They
came not only froig the Metropolitan
Toronto area but from Hamilton, Mon
treal, London, the Niagara Peninsula and
other watering holes. Each year those of
us who get a kick out of such observa
tions, take careful note of the number
and types ,of new cars, new children and
just generally the way everyone acts.
Such items as these:
Each year there seem to be more cars
as well as more children ... but this
year in addition to the Chryslers and
Cadillacs and Volkswagens that stood
out last year, there were several sports
cars with ivy-capped young Nisei and

The hunting season opened
with a flourish of city Joes in
theix* flashiest outfits headed for
the partridge belt in that portion _
of Canada that sweeps from west
to east, from the Pacific to the
Atlantic, and the full cry wason: “Tally-ho! Partridge beware!”
No! No . . • . Not ‘tally-ho’.
That’s for fox-hunting. Isn’t it?
Oh well,- what’s the difference!
Hunting was on officially, and

they had been preparing. Now
they were ready, and they plan

in the morning to catch the
grouse still in feeding position

The night before they had
brought out their red, red jackets.
They weren’t taking any chances
of being mistaken for a partridge
by some stupid hunter who should
have stayed at home with his
glasses. They -filled the pockets
with cigarettes, lighter, matches,
compass, raisins, and all the little
things they thought they would
need. They brought out their
boots, and oiled the squeaks out
of them and put them oh the
floor by their jackets which they
had draped proudly on the living
room couch. They rinsed out the
thermos bottle, and put it on the
kitchen counter, ready to fill in
the morning. They checked the
ice-box to see that their food
supply was still there. Then they
checked their licenses, their wal
lets, their caps, their gloves.
They synchronized their watches.
And, as -the last ritual, they
brought out their guns, a Stevens
and a Winchester. The Stevens
was for Jack, the other fox’ Pat.

The hunting season opened
with a flourish of city Joes in
theix* flashiest outfits headed for
the partridge belt in that portion _
of Canada that sweeps from west
to east, from the Pacific to the
Atlantic, and the full cry wason: “Tally-ho! Partridge beware!”
No! No . . • . Not ‘tally-ho’.
That’s for fox-hunting. Isn’t it?
Oh well,- what’s the difference!
Hunting was on officially, and
whatever was going on unoffi- '
cially, for Jack and Pat it was
that Big Day,, their debut as
Nimrods-of the field. Fox' weeks
they had been preparing. Now
they were ready, and they plan
ned to leave the city around five
in the morning to catch the
grouse still in feeding position
on the ground.
The night before they had
brought out their red, red jackets.
They weren’t taking any chances
of being mistaken for a partridge
by some stupid hunter who should
have stayed at home with his
glasses. They -filled the pockets
with cigarettes, lighter, matches,
compass, raisins, and all the little
things they thought they would
need. They brought out their
boots, and oiled the squeaks out
of them and put them oh the
floor by their jackets which they
had draped proudly on the living
room couch. They rinsed out the
thermos bottle, and put it on the
kitchen counter, ready to fill in
the morning. They checked the
ice-box to see that their food
supply was still there. Then they
checked their licenses, their wal
lets, their caps, their gloves.
They synchronized their watches.
And, as -the last ritual, they
brought out their guns, a Stevens
and a Winchester. The Stevens
was for Jack, the other fox’ Pat.
