A Return to Japan

The Conception
Of The Centre Symbol
Mr. Stanley Shikatani of Toronto, Ontario, winner of The Tor­
onto Japanese Canadian Centre’s Emblem Design gives his concep­
tion of his prize .winning symbol below. He is a honor graduate of
the Ontario College of Art and member of the Nisei Arts And Let­
ters Group.
:

.

When I first thought about designing this symbol, I had to
consider some of the conditions proposed by the Cemye Committee.
The. most pertinent ones were the possibility of expressing the Ja­
panese Canadian personality and the purpose of the Centre; adaptibility for Centre use; and elimination of verbiage.
During this process of consideration, I attempted to assess.and
reassess the Nisei and Issei as individuals and as part of society.
Also, I wanted to assess the Centre as a formulation of an id.eal and
its function as part of a growing and expanding society.
This, of course, proved difficult. After an objective examination
and research of Japanese Canadian personality,.! found that it i'as
impossible to find any concrete evidence of uniqueness that, might
be synthesized for’our purpose. Take, for example, the combination
Mr. Stan Shikatani
of a rising sun or a chrysanthemum with a maple leaf. Tins, no doubt,
would connote the merging of “East and West ; but this had to oe
rejected on the ground that beyond its liniited communicative value,
it certainly would not serve our needs in this particular^ situation
because it would hot express the special spirit of this venture,
Then I proceeded to evaluate the Centre and the building. Heie
I was able to establish some positive thinking. The Centre is an
idea; a monument for the Issei and a means of serving the coming
generation. It is also the expression of the merging of two cultures,

TOPIC
By JERRY KUTS UK AKE
Forty-two years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Isoji Hatashita beamed over
a third-born, a son, and gave him the name Frank Minoru. That was
on Alexander Street in Vancouver, B.C. amidst strong Japanese up­
bringing.
Frank Minora at the age of six years was led by his father’s
hand to a judo club where he was instructed in the art of self-de­
fense. Though not to his liking, the strict parental obedience prompt­
ed him to continue which eventually led him to becoming three-time
All-Canada champion (the first at 18) and once Eastern-Canada
champion under the black belt classification.

Japanese Sex Crimes Mounting. . . .

Anti-Prostitution Laws Collapsing
TOKYO.—Japan’s infant anti­
prostitution law may be on the
verge of collapsing.
There has been speculation that
the law might be abolished this
year. Officials, however, deny
this with vigor.
Japanese magazines have pre­
dicted that one of the top 10 newg
stories in Japan this year would
be the repeal of the law.
The law went into effect on
April 1, 1958, after years of pres­
sure by leading Japanese women
who condemned legal prostitution
as “white slavery.”
It was reported that thousands
of
former
brothel
owners
throughout the country were
keeping their fingers crossed to
see the day when they can re­
light the “Red Light districts.”
(Some of those houses have been
converted to bars and Turkish
bathhouses. Many former brothel
owners still have not switched
to new businesses in hopes of re­
opening the once-floushing girl
traffic.
Rumors have been kept alive
amid reports of mounting “sex”
crimes..
.Statistics showed rape cases
jumped from 5,98$ in 1958 to 6,038 in the following year. The
number of rape cases handled by
police in 1957 was 4,122.
' Some decry that Turkish bath­
houses are houses of prostitution
in disguise.
In Tokyo alone, 75 Turkish
bathhouses have been established
since the an ti-ip restitution law

went into effect.
Those who favored repealing
the law say “sex” crimes would
drop considerably if' unmarried
men could go to organized pros­
titution houses “freely.”
Others say the law must be
protected at all cost.
“Abolition of the anti-prostitu­
tion law . will never be realized
as long as the opinion of Japa­
nese women doesn’t change,” said
Miss- Taiko Hirabayashi, a lead­
ing Japanese writer.
' “It is a sign of progress that
‘public women’ have disappeared
from the streets,” she said.
“Rather than being abolished, I
think the law should be amended
to plug its loopholes. Specifically,
independent prostitution ’ should
be prohibited.
A prominent American , at­
torney in Tokyo believes the anti-

prostitution lawAs a flop and the
red light districts should be re­
vived.
The lawyer, Frank H. Scolinos,
said he thinks that once organiz­
ed prostitution is reopened there
would be less street girls.
He said'although he favored
the reopening of the Red Light
districts, he was against the prac­
tice of selling daughters into
white slavery. *
“I believe there are enough
girls of a mature age who are
willing to take up this profession
of their own free will,” Scolinos
said.
Some lawmakers who voted for
the abolition of legal prostitu­
tion are said to believe that prosstitution, legal or illegal, would
make no substantial, change in the
practice
of
sexual
relations
among unmarried persons.

World Only JC Bonspiel
CALGARY.—This ' year, the
national curling limelight will be
focused* on the. foothill city of
Calgary, Alberta, Not only will
Calgary host the 1901 MacDonald
Brier Championship, emblematic
of Canadian curling' supremacy,
but the Stampede City will also
be the site of our ninth annual
JC Bon spiel, the only bonspiel of
its kind in Canada and probably
in the world.
On April 8th and 9th, nearly
one hundred'and fifty Nisei curl­
ers from districts throughout Al­
berta from Grand Prairie to Magrath will gather at the Meadow­
lark Curling Club in Calgary to
match skill and strategy to de­
termine the champion Nisei curl­
ing rink. This Bonspiel has mush­
roomed from an 8 rink affair in
1953 to a colorful, competitive 33
rink sporting event in 1960. The
success of the past bonspiels can
be attributed to the ever-increas­
ing enthusiasm among the curl­
ers.

Some ask, “What makes this
slippery game played on ice with
a 40 lb. hunk of granite and an
elongated corn broom so wonder­
ful?” Here are some reasons: In
what other game do people dis­
play such sportsmanship as shak­
ing hands before the game and
again after? In what other game
do we employ such profound
strategy and psychology? In
what other game is criticism and
advice so eeasy to offer and yet
what game is so hard to play
well?
'
Whatever the reason for this
keen interest, the host commit­
tee are-hopeful that this same in­
terest will make the 1961 JC
Bonspiel the most successful
ever.
Anyone seeking further infor­
mation regarding this Bonspiel,

How did he get started
Westerns ?
“When I went to' the country
areas,” said the Tokyo-born
actor, “I found the people didn’t
understand the imported West­
erns. I thought I would give then:
a Japanese version.”
Last year Akira made 10 West­
erns, along with five others. He
has little time for anything else
grinding out a film every 2d davs’
He is well paid, even by HollyJ
wood standards. His estimated
annual
earnings: 8100,000 a
quarter of that from records.
Akira makes a series as an
itinerant adventurer called the
Migrating Bird. This bird, like
the cowboys in the American
Westerns of yore is never permit­
ted to kiss the girl.
“I am supposed to play a lonely
man with no sweethearts,” he
said in translated English. “Often
I rescue the beautiful girl and she
has affection for me, but I must
shun her.”
Akira has studied the American
stars for their walks, draws, etc.
His own draw is lightning-fast.
He prizes his gun collectiontoys, since Japanese law forbids
the real kind..
He makes his films partly at
the studio, partly on location in
northern Japan, where the deso­
late areas resemble the Americ­
an West. Would he like to trv
Hollywood ?
“There is no demand for me
there,” he said realistically.
“Even if there were, I would have
no desire to go there permanent­
ly.” In view of his salary on the
Nippon range, why should he?
