a symbol of the true meaning of Christmas.

An exhibition of Nisei art from across Canada, now being
planned, will create national interest. Paintings, sculpture, pottery
ana pnotography would be included. Another project in the planning
-'.ages is the display of photographs depicting the history of Japa­
nese Canadians from the time of the first immigrant until the pre­
sent. A documentary display of news clippings, etc., is also under
study. ■
Childrens art will be on display through the holiday season,
these will include works by local talent as well as those by children
irom Japan. Of particular interest would be the choice of subic-ct
matter, sense of ideas and outlook, and art form. Haiku, essays, and
oratorical competitions are others under consideration.
A library containing material on Japanese art and culture, and
information pertaining to Japanese Canadians will be assembled
at the Centre. An initial contribution of a large number of valuable
books (718) has arrived from Japan.
Marly of the displays and exhibits, as well as information -from
the library are examples of the things that could be made available
on a nation-wide basis.
A further step would be an increase in the contacts with U.S.
Niseis, an exchange of arts and crafts and other contributions.

A Nisei Teacher

ROY ITO

This summer, Mr. Roy Ito, Principal of the
Sherwood Heights School in Hamilton, Ontario,
was chosen as. one of 18 Canadian teachers to in­
struct in Africa. In this special issue he gives us
his impressions of the visit. Mr. Ito instructed,
some 400 African teachers in his course. He holds
a B.A. degree from McMaster and a Bachelor of
Pedagogy from the University of Toronto.

Reminiscence Of JO Personalities

Fifteen Years Amidst My Friends, The Nisei
By LIZ PEARCE
Often I have been asked “why
don’t you write an article on your
impressions of Japanese Cana­
dians?” This topic, I thought,
might be boring to some of the
readers. So, instead, I decided to
write a stretch on some JapaneseCanadian personalities that I have
encountered during , the past 1.5
years.
My first contact with the Japa­
nese community came quite a few
years ago, shortly before 'my
husband and I were married. AC
that time, he was coaching a
peewee baseball.'and hockey team
in the Bloor -and Bathurst district.
At one of the baseball practices
a very small Japanese boy came
to try out for the ball club. His
name was .Robert Miwa. Even at
the early age of 11, he was a very
determined youngster wanting to
play, not just for the sake of play­
ing or something to do, but to
achieve and better himself. And
as his years progressed from pee­
wee to bantam, to midget, to junior
and into senior ball - and hockey,
Robert became well-known by
both his opponents and team­
mates for his ability and deter­
mination. His clubmates respect­
ed him, for his never-give-up
drive.
* This young lad that my hus­
band and I watched grow, from a
boy into a young man, has given
the both of us many pleasant me­
mories during the past few years.
Especially the most recent item in
his life. On October 12th he was
married to April Matsui and my
husband felt most honoured and
privileged to act as M.C. at his
wedding.
In 1952, a Nisei girl named Amy
Hisaki j oined a ball club that I was
playing Tor at Coxwell Stadium.
The following year her brother
formed a club at Coxwell Stadium
and as many of you readers will
recall for the next 6 years or so,
we bothered you with many
columns of our wins and losses.
On first ball club (Dafris Jewel­
lery) were such well known softball stars as top-Nisei pitcher
Ethel Tateishi, now married to
Mickey Matsubayashi. Ethel after
getting married turned her sport­
ing efforts to badminton and ten­
nis. She and Mickey have receiv­

For this Holiday issue, the New
Canadian’s popular sports writer,
Liz Pearce reminisces oil some 15
years spent among the Nisei in
Toronto. Aside from being a topnotch “Judoistess”, Liz is also
known as the first “hakujin” to be
elected on the executive of any
Japanese Canadian Citizen’s Asso­
ciation. She is also an active writ­
er for Mr. Frank Hatashita’s
magazine, “Judo World.”

ed many awards over the last few
years for their efforts. In her spare
time, Ethel teaches school and
looks after her son Barry. I can
still remember- Ethel coming to
our house bringing some specially
made sushi. Her mother used to
prepare the sushi for me without
eels because, at that time, the eels
just didn’t seem to appeal to me.
The girl that won the crown
every year for the most walks on
our. ball club was Cathy Seo, a
sweet and pleasant personality.
Cathy is also a school inarm, ana
her husband Roy Matsushita was a
top brown belt in the judo cir­
cles about 6 years, ago.
These
stars were followed by other
steady ballplayers which were
the backbone of the ball club.
Eriko Shintani, Arlene Harada,
Kiyo
Nakamoto,
May
Mukai,
Kathy Kawaguchi, Amy Tani,
Sharon Matsu, Jeannette Hira­
bayashi and Janet Fujiwara.
Speaking about Janet Fujiwara
reminds me of the" Toronto Japa­
nese Canadian Citizens’ Associa­
tion. I had heard a few people
moaning about the TJCCA, so
curiosity got the better of me.
Janet and I decided we would go
and see what was happening at
the TJCCA meetings.
Well, we
certainly found out a lot of in­
teresting things. The main thing
we found out was that the people
that were doing all the moaning
just didn’t know what they were
talking about. I
found
the

TJCCA was a very worthwhile
organization and the executive
was doing a lot of good in the
Toronto and surrounding dis­
tricts. I am happy to know that
Janet is still carrying on with the
work. Due to my very busy sche­
dule I had to give up my TJCCA
work, but while I was a member
of the executive I thoroughly
enjoyed working with the other
members, who were most co­
operative at all times.
From the TJCCA I met quite a
few interesting people especially
when I was connected with the
annual softball tournament. My
friend Jack Nishizaki from Cha­
tham, one of the best managers
that has ever been at the softball tournaments, has a favorite
hobby. He just loves to try and
confuse me at the tournaments.
But all is taken with laughter
and I must say that he and his
wife are a very enjoyable couple.
I can still remember when I re­
ceived the royal carpet treatment
when the girls’ Nisei team went
to play a game against the team
in Chatham.
Eddie Ushiro, a ball player
from the Detroit ball club was
one of the most earnest and in­
teresting ball players that I have
seen come to this annual tourna­
ment. I usually get to see Ed
once a year when I visit Detroit.
His brother Ernie is the jolly fel­
low behind the Detroit plate.
One of my
closest friends

through the ’ years was Eddie Hi­
saki. We coached and. managed
girls’ ball clubs for many years.
One lesson I learned from Eddie
during those year’s, and it is a
good lesson for anyone is: “If
you are going to attempt some­
thing make sure you work at- it
100 per cent. Don’t give it only
25 per cent of your tirne, other­
wise what you do will not be suc­
cessful.” I believe that Eddie
learned something . too, just as
well as Ray Tani, Roy Kobayashi,
Terry Shiga, Hideo Takasaki,., and
Ken Ikeda, the other coaches of
the girls ball clubs.
They all found out the hard
way that: “don’t coach girl’s ball
teams — they give you more
headaches then you can get rid
of.”
The most impressive Japanese
personality that I have met is Ed
Ide, the President of the National
J.C.C.A. Listening to him talk one
night; in the Buddhist hall after
his return from Japan with the
UNESO group was most inspiring
and educational. Mr. Ide has ac­
complished a great deal for- the
Japanese organization in Toronto
and throughout Canada and T
believe that he deserves a round
of applause.
My fatherly friend the pub­
lisher of the New Canadian and
a tremendous figure 'in the cultu­
ral life of Japanese-Canadians in
Toronto is “T. Umezuki”---- or as
he is known “T. U.” Many times
I have sat at meetings beside T.
U. who has explained things to
me both in English and in Japa­
nese. Of course my Japanese is
limited to Ohio, arigato, sayonara
and ichi, ni, san, etc.
When I walk onto the - New
Canadian office T. U. just loves
to talk to me a mile a minute in
Japanese. Usually I am lucky if
I can understand one or two
words,. but I manage to come up
with some kind of an answer
whether its
right or wrong —
usually its wrong. Without T. U.'
the Japanese Canadians in To­
ronto would lack something very
special: the need to keep Japanese
culture and tradition alive and
strong in the younger generation

dom of choice? Huw can they
impress upon the budding ge­
neration that the happiness of the
entire world hinges on their
clioice ?
Does an atheist mean that he
prefers to be treated "with hate,
cruelty, selfishness, impatience,
etc. ? Do you see why Ghrist
said, “Whoever is not against
Lie is for Me,” and when His
preference is for the “hot” or
“cold” to the lukewarm ?
Love God and love mankind,
and be happy. How simple! But
let me ask this question. How
are we going to show ouir love
for each other in the realm of
our religious beliefs ?
Whoever you are! Start look­
ing around for - a group that
believes there is only ONE GOD,
therefore only ONE RELIGION
and ONE HUMAN RACE. And
our children should be taught
how _to
express love in the
home, school and (ever-widening)
community. This one religion,
of course,' will be a blend of
all existing religions, To be
just, religion will have a new
name.
Then your hearts will be full
of gratitude for all the Messengers that God, in His great
mercy, has sent from time to
time to this
troubled world.
You will be well prepared to
expect new Manifestations of
God’s guidance. Yon will join
with people of different re­
ligious backgrounds and differen racial origins in an or­
ganized effort to knit the entire
planet together on . the basis of
good-will and co-operation. You
will help to choose a world
language to be taught in all the
schools of the world along with
the native tongue of each.- To
make democracy more democratic
and to eliminate bickering, lob­
bying and partisanship, you will
hold your elections -without no­
minations. By bridging the gap
between religion and science
you will be able to “turn spears
into pruning hooks” and you
will study war no more forever.
“Let your vision be world em­
bracing” and heavenly joy will
fill your life each moment of
every day.

Is Rhyming Necessary ?

A World Of Poetry
For Children
By

MARIE PITT ARD

Calligraphy by T, Umesuk'

A poem should not mean but be
Archibald MacLeish

Children generally love and
enjoy poetry once they are
given an opportunity to be ex­
posed to it. It does not have to
be written specifically for
them in order that this might
be achieved. They are factuat­
ed with po'ems that, display ac­
tion and hiunour. Rhythm ap­
peals, yet they can. find plea­
sure in poems like the Japa­
nese Haiku or the. American
Cinquain that do not incorpo­
rate this characteristic. If a
poem stirs the childs emotions
and through it, he can inter­
pret experiences of his own,
he will be quite relaxed with
poetry.
One of the. best means of
showing children how to read
and write poetry is the Japa­
nese Haiku. Since one is re­
quired to suggest rather than
state, in writing Haiku the
creative endeavour of the
child truly becomes necessary.
Haiku appeals particularly to
the imaginative child since

ft

one is required to express poe­
tic ideas through images
of concreteness. Two images
should be presented objective­
ly without explaining one’s
own feelings. These images in
close prQximity should direct
us to look between the two
rather than directly at each
one. much like we see a star
more clearly at night by looking to the side of it. Because
of the significant difference
in syllabication between the
Japanese and English langua­
ges, it is not necessary to ad­
here to the 5-7-5 pattern.
Another poetry experience
which should delight children
is the “Cinquain” originated
by Adelaide Crapsey, a wellknown American writer in
1909. This form resembles the
Japanese Tanka in that it is a
five line verse, and like the
Tanka, it is very clear and
sharp in its imagery with a
similar emotional coloring.
Because of its brevity (be-

lieved to be the shortest and
simplest possible in English
poetry) it is, like Japanese
poetry a sufficient expression
of an attitude which should be
full of meaning. Unlike the
Japanese Tanka, however, it
should work up to a climax
and fall away with the follow­
ing syllabication 2,4,6,8-,2. The
following cinquain by a Grade
five student may help illus­
trate this: '

complete “I love to hear . . . ’•
or “I love to see . . . . ” or “I
love to feel . .. . ” The follow­
ing was written by a ten year
old boy:

Softly .
Upon the ground
Cascades of sparkling snow
Envelope all the silent earth
At night.

Although • rhyming can be
fun, it is not essential for
the writing of poetry. Chil­
dren enj oy using figurative
language in free verse. Un­
fortunately, they are often
demanded to put too great an
emphasis on poetic techniques.
The child should be able to
write freely and unihibitedly.

Children enjoy poems that
give meaning’ to everyday
events. They can, for instance,
add rich, sensory words to

The Art
Of
Karate
By MAS TSURUOKA, 5th-dan

All eyes were focused on the white-uniformed instructor adjusting his
black 'belt. Two student-assistants held 'in ,front 'of him 4 one-inch thick boards
a foot square, back to back, grains matched. Other tetudents teat Ground them
in cross-legged positions on the floor.
“Ready?" he iasked the two.
They nodded and braced 'themselves.
The instructor slid forward. His foot flashed. The building echoed with
a savage roajr las flesh and bone (met ’wood. Eight half-pieces of lumber (dropped
to the floor. '
“Bricks!’’ he 'ordered. lOne of his assistants (placed (2 building bricks on
the floor for a base jand set another across'the top.
The instructor raised Jan open hand high in the air and chopped down­
wards with another animal roar. The top brick Cracked in two as if it had
been slugged: with a sledge hammer. He repeated the same roar, this time}
splitting 7 boards with an elbow smash.
“Now you |do it,” he told his '-advanced (students. Their instructor, Mr.
Mas Tsuruoka—the “Father of 'Canadian Karate”—-had just demonstrated
the potential power in the fascinating Oriental sport of Karate.

One of the most - imports
goals in Karate training is the
mastery of oneself — the creation
of self-confidence in the indivi­
dual and the subsequent develop­
ment of an' inner strength of
mind, will and character.
This art of weaponless self-de­
fence is not the mysterious thing
many people think it to be. It can
be taught to people of all ages
and walks of life in reasonable
good health. All I ask of any be­
ginner is the will to learn and
strict discipline.
Unlike the throws and submis­
sion holds popular in Judo, the
martial art of Karate stresses the
use of kicks, punches, chops,
finger stabs and even head butts.
Each limb is trained to become a
lethal weapon. AU instructors are
deadly serious about this art —an
art they study and teach mainly
as a sport and hope they will
never have to use as a defence in
everyday life. "
Like many others, I started in
Karate during my early teens
after leaving Canada—• my birth­
place — for Japan with my
parents. One day in my home city
of Kumamoto in Southern Japan,
a gang of hoodlums mistook me
for a rival gang member. I was
promptly given the beating of my
life. Anyone who is familiar with
the operation of gangsters in Ja­
pan can tell you with .what vici­
ousness these individuals operate.
As would happen to many
youths, this episode left me filled
with bitterness. One day, after
watching an exhibition of Karate,
I decided that it was the sport for
me- With grim vengeance upper­
most in my mind and swearing ne­
ver to be humiliated like that
again, I began training under the
tutelage of Karate master, Dr.'
Tsuyoshi Chitose, lOth-dan.

• But, like all Karate' students," as
I advanced in my training my at­
titude and thinking changed. In­
stead
of approaching manhood
with a chip on my shoulder, my
training gave me serenity and
peace of mind. My acquired capa­
bilities gave me the confidence
that enabled me to look above
such attitudes as vindictiveness. .If
need be, I could face the taunts
of a street-bully and feel profound
sympathy for him instead of be­
coming enraged. All students of
Karate in time reach this plateau.
We have the ancients who de­
veloped this art to thank for this.
There are many divergent opin­
ions on the origin of “Karate”
— which in Japanese means,
“empty hands.” A popular story is
that it was introduced by a Budd­
hist monk, Daruma Taishi around
the years 520-535 A.D. It is said
he taught Kempo (as it was then
known) to his fellow monks at the
famous Shoalin-szu monastery in
China so that they could protect
themselves against bands of out­
laws that roamed the countryside.
From here it is believed to have
spread to the island of Okinawa
where it was known as Okinawate. It was here during this period
when conquerors forbade natives
to use weapons that this art was
fully developed. These training
methods were handed down from
generation to generation in strict­
est confidence.
In 1917, an Okinawian Karate
master, Funakoshi Gichin intro­
duced the art in Japan. Here,
elements from other martial arts
such as Jujitsu (a forerunner of
Judo) and Kendo (art of sword
fighting) were incorporated. Mas­
ter Funakoshi, who died in 1957 at
the age of 88, systemized and de­
veloped the 3 main aspects of pre­
sent day Karate: As a sport, a

Tsuruoka Sensei takes
to the air in performing a
classical tobi-geri (flying
kick).

physical art, and for self defence.
Today even Hollywood has been
invaded by Karate. Movie actors
such as Nick Adams, McDonald
Carey, Rick Jason, Darren McGavin, Elvis Presley, and Ricky Nel­
son have taken up this art. Nel­
son, who holds a Black Belt de­
gree, has often performed Kara­
te techniques on the “Ozzie and
Harriet” TV show.

Many aspiring beginners in Ka­
rate are under the illusion that
smashing things like bricks is the
epitome of this art. It is not the
ability to do these things that
count. It is the amalgamation of
mind and body it represents .that
is important. If one were interest­
ed only in breaking things, he
should' go out and buy himself a
sledge hammer. It’s easier.
Although I do give frequerit
board and brick breaking de-monstrations, I look upon this
practice as, “the necessary evil to
promote this sport.” It should not
be the sole aim of a true Karate
man.
Anyone who advances in Kara­
te can learn to perf orm these brick
and board breaking feats. In this
art one utilizes as much mental
power as physical. For example,
when I split boards, I set my mind
positively. It is cleared of any de­
featism. The boards must break.

; Feats such as breaking boards
with a punch (called Seiken-wari)
are performed by using a combi­
nation of physical and psychologi­
cal principles with the movement
of the body. As the fist (palm up)
is thrust forward at the target, it
is twisted 180 degrees (now palm
down) with a snap for more speed.
The other hand is thrust back­
wards simultaneously, adding re­
action force to the punching hand.
This is an elementary principle of
physics that to every action there
is an opposite reaction. At the
same time, the rear leg is pressed
back hard against the floor and
the resulting reaction force also
aids to the force of the blow.
In order to achieve a maximum

concentration of power in this
punch, the body muscles are ex­
erted in the proper order. The ab­
dominal and pelvic muscle groups
are powerful but slow, whereas
those of the extremities are fast
but weak. Thus, to concentrate
both sets of muscles, the abdomen
and hips are brought into play
first. This force is then transfer­
red to the point of impact in the
fist.

Also, the savage roar (known as
Kia or “a meeting of the spirit”)
emitted from the pit of the sto­
mach, has a definite purpose asi­
de from scaring the bejaspers out
of an unsuspecting opponent. The
sharp exhaling-aids in contracting
the muscles and helps the Karate
man focus, all his mental and'
physical energy. ...in ..one ^.concen­
trated blast at the point of im­
pact. This roar is similar to the
natural reaction of wild' animals,
primitive savages and scared in­
fantrymen when attacking.
To develop the speed, strength,
and toughness to be able to split
bricks and boards, Karate students
harden their fists and feet by such
methods as repeatedly smashing
them against lightly padded posts.
These
breaking
techniques
should only be attempted by ad­
vanced Karate students. The be­
ginners have enough to learn as
it is.
Students at my school begin,
and end, an evening of practice
with several minutes of deep me­
ditation. At the beginning of the
lesson this period of quiet enables
them to forget the outside world
for fuller concentration on Karate
techniques. Before they leave• the
gym another period of meditation
helps them rewind from the stren­
uous concentration.
The new Karate pupil begins
with a complete body conditioning
program of calisthenics. These
exercises can be divided into 3
categories (1). limbering up. (2).
strengthening. (3). wind and re­

ginners have lost as much as 20

A very fussy diner entered a
restaurant.
“Now, waiter, I
want a nice chop,’’ he said!. “I
want there to be a little fat on

to be underdone nor do I want
it to be burnt. I want it just
right, with plenty of gravy,
Now, you’ll tell your_ chef exactly what I require, won’t

An elderly lady entered a

asked to. be shown

brought a pile and showed
them to her, but she said! she
had seen those elsewhere —
nothing suited her.
“Haven't you something new?5'
she said. The man brought

“These are the newest pat­

“Dear me, yes. I will take

THE FOREST
At the edge of the forest I stoadl and breathed deep,
Of the massive green trees that slumber in nature's sleep
I look upward and in stony silence gaze
At such .beauty and never cease to amaze
The works of God and the works of nature sublime
How small we are who are pressed on by time,
The mysterious jungle of trees that is home for God's animals
Men go .and tend to cut up into man’s hand it falls.
The wind is aroused and comes sweeping along
And the forest is filled with its boisterous song.

WINTER

■

The sun has faded and in chilled breath winter rocks the land
From mountain peaks to the resting valley below
Wher'ere its sunless she stretches her hand
In blinding snow driven by lashing winds that chilly blow
In the grey heights the darkened clouds their solitude keep
Hanging low where once the birds kept their quest
No sign of joy in this world of winter sleep
Till spring bounces back in God’s land out West.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM
Oh, star of Bethlehem,
Star of joy and light,
Signify the joyous birth
Of Baby Jesus on that night.
Shepherds and wise men guided on
By this star of wondrous light
Came to worship this God’s son
Travelling from far to seek and praise
Joy of this birth throughout the land is known
As triumphant over all his love fills our days.
