Boyhood Christmases In The Country
With The “Transient Of Nature
By PAT MUCCI
Around this time of the year
I can’t help reminiscing about
the Christmases I spent in the
country as a boy.
My family wasn’t rich, as a
matter of fact we even spent
a little time on welfare. I guess
that’s how I learned to appre
ciate the little things, remem
bering those days when those
little things could put a sparkle
in my eyes and a tear on my
mother’s cheek.
At that age it was hard for
me to realize what we were really going through. I can still
see my brother and I getting
out of bed about five-thirty in
the morning and heading down
to the woods, knee-high in snow,
with the wind furiously biting at
our faces, to cut a tree up for
firewood. When we saw the occational Jack rabbit we always
wished we had taken the 22 in
stead of the axe.
The kitchen was usually pre
tty warm about seven-thirty, just
after breakfast, at which time
we started out for that two mile
walk along the old country road
to school. Sometimes we didn’t
even have a lunch to take.

Well, that's the view from the outside lo

pond and venture- into the Great White World

created much of a stir, but this summer past has
seen so many Japanese abroad, especially in
Europe, that even talk of “Yellow Peril" has been
revived. Incidentally, this term Yellow Peril" was
first coined by Kaiser Wilhelm, but in reference
to a possible Chinese invasion of Europe. Time
and Newsweek did feature pieces on the ‘hordes
of Japs', with emphasis
placed mostly on the
spending power of the Japanese tourists and the
economic progress of Japanese companies situated
Whereas in the past, the typical Japanese
tourist could be stereotyped as the bespectacled

the Romans do; today’s tourist is the Japaneseas-he-is-at-home, proud of his country almost to

overwhelmed by the white skins and accents of
these “gaijin" he encounters wherever he turns.
Today’s tourists are no longer limited to busines

from a Tokyo university, or a flower design school

possible to initiate among strangers whose so
cial status he is in complete ignorance of. For
this same crutch which supports him so unfailingly on home grounds, is the principle "upon
which his great country was built up, from a
wa'r-ravaged industrially backward country
to
become in 50 years, a world power to be re
ckoned with economically and in the
future,
politically. There is even an old proverb (and Ja
panese still take proverbs seriously) to the effect
that the nail which sticks out will soon be ham
mered down. In schools, clubs, offices, board
rooms and in the government itself, the motivating
theme is: the Group comes first and the indivi
dual must submerge himself for the good of the
Group. Little surprise then, that travel should be
done in groups, another extension of a well-orde
red regimented life and culture.
As early as March, in London, I came upon
platoons of Japanese tourists, who couJd
have
been anything from the local fish mongers union
to the Finance section of Hitachi, trudging along
the sidewalk in 5's and sixes, forever keeping
in -sight the Leader and the Flag, for without this
reassuring sight, he would be totally lost and
forced to perhaps, approach and/or worse, try
his English on these indomitable Britishers. In
any of Europe's larger cities, one can see these
groups milling about the middle-classed hotel lob
bies, spilling outside onto the sidewalks, scrambling
en masse into souvenir shops, and restaurants
shouting and giggling and in general, causing a’
commotion which he would never dare to do were
he alone or with a friend or two. Not that they
are unwelcome. To the contrary, what Hong Kong
merchants and business men have known and used
to their advantage for years, European
shop
keepers are learning now, and fast: that the Ja
panese tourist must be, without reservation, the
world's most welcome shopper, and for many rea
sons: First, he comes with a fat wallet and buys,
buys, buys, 6 pairs of leather gloves, 4 bottles
of French perfume, British woollens, anything with
a name and a high price tag. Never mind that
he'll probably end up paying duty back at Ha
neda, or that he doesn't need them — he can be
easily persuaded or embarassed into buying; Se
cond, he will rarely return to the shop after disco
vering that he has purchased damaged goods;
almost never will he return to complain that he
has been cheated and demand his money re
funded. He -is the ideal customer because of the
great gap between the Japanese way of think
ing and behaving and the Western method of
reasoning which governs action: Whereas
the
Western tourist, upon discovering that he has
been cheated will feel outraged and angrily re
turn for a confrontation, the Japanese will ra
tionalize that the fault was his, and place the
blame on his own carelessness and stupidity. To
demand redress would be to lose further face and
he would sooner put the incident out of his
mind. He probably will not even mention it to
his friends. Here again, the principle of "Don't
make waves" governs ^is actions, and to the
Japanese, the idea of protesting and making a
scene, is distasteful? More strength of character is
shown by restraining himself.

possible to initiate among strangers whose so
cial status he is in complete ignorance of. For
this same crutch which supports him so unfailingly on home grounds, is the principle "upon
which his great country was built up, from a
wa'r-ravaged industrially backward country
to
become in 50 years, a world power to be re
ckoned with economically and in the
future,
politically. There is even an old proverb (and Ja
panese still take proverbs seriously) to the effect
that the nail which sticks out will soon be ham
mered down. In schools, clubs, offices, board
rooms and in the government itself, the motivating
theme is: the Group comes first and the indivi
dual must submerge himself for the good of the
Group. Little surprise then, that travel should be
done in groups, another extension of a well-orde
red regimented life and culture.
As early as March, in London, I came upon
platoons of Japanese tourists, who couJd
have
been anything from the local fish mongers union
to the Finance section of Hitachi, trudging along
the sidewalk in 5's and sixes, forever keeping
in -sight the Leader and the Flag, for without this
reassuring sight, he would be totally lost and
forced to perhaps, approach and/or worse, try
his English on these indomitable Britishers. In
any of Europe's larger cities, one can see these
groups milling about the middle-classed hotel lob
bies, spilling outside onto the sidewalks, scrambling
en masse into souvenir shops, and restaurants
shouting and giggling and in general, causing a’
commotion which he would never dare to do were
he alone or with a friend or two. Not that they
are unwelcome. To the contrary, what Hong Kong
merchants and business men have known and used
to their advantage for years, European
shop
keepers are learning now, and fast: that the Ja
panese tourist must be, without reservation, the
world's most welcome shopper, and for many rea
sons: First, he comes with a fat wallet and buys,
buys, buys, 6 pairs of leather gloves, 4 bottles
of French perfume, British woollens, anything with
a name and a high price tag. Never mind that
he'll probably end up paying duty back at Ha
neda, or that he doesn't need them — he can be
easily persuaded or embarassed into buying; Se
cond, he will rarely return to the shop after disco
vering that he has purchased damaged goods;
almost never will he return to complain that he
has been cheated and demand his money re
funded. He -is the ideal customer because of the
great gap between the Japanese way of think
ing and behaving and the Western method of
reasoning which governs action: Whereas
the
Western tourist, upon discovering that he has
been cheated will feel outraged and angrily re
turn for a confrontation, the Japanese will ra
tionalize that the fault was his, and place the
blame on his own carelessness and stupidity. To
demand redress would be to lose further face and
he would sooner put the incident out of his
mind. He probably will not even mention it to
his friends. Here again, the principle of "Don't
make waves" governs ^is actions, and to the
Japanese, the idea of protesting and making a
scene, is distasteful? More strength of character is
shown by restraining himself.

On hum drum inconsequential things of the day.

A delightful summer day too good to waste,
On hum drum inconsequential things of the day.
Forget our weary troubles & turn in haste.
Where summer & the outdoors is calling you away.
The green sloping- lawns invite you to come & walk,
Across a haven of nature set there for you.
The animals are there putting on a gieat show,
The penguins <k the monkeys, & otter & bears too.

Lovers walk hand in hand lost in their world.
Where swans sail on sei one waters in the stillness of twilight.
And peacocks will spread their feathers in a showing of color,
The stars twinkle down & light up the skies at night.

One might expect that the ,
« emphasis on finer* rank differen- .
g tiation in Japanese firms would :
« result in different operational ’
S and
administrative procedures
£ employed by firms in Japan when
Some of the problems facing j
the Japanese immigrant seeking •
employment in Canada may have :
their source in these organiza- J
tional and procedural differences. J
In Japan, an individual’s social j
and educational background is I
considered quite important when j
.it .comes to employment, but a j
letter of recommendation submi- 5
tted with the job application is 'j
equally important. .'Employment i
mitmeiit and it is difficult to j
differentiate between the normal 'j
social relations .of one’s home, and J
those of the company. A Japa- 1
nese company provides housing, 4
medical and hospital
benefits, '|
recreational facilities, group ou- J
tings, and numerous other ser- j
vices. Given this paternalistic *
nature of a Japanese firm, the 1
letter of -recommendation serves '!
a similar purpose as the nakodo A
I
j ' procedure followed in the emplo: yment process can be as time '
: consuming ;as that of an arrang: ed marriage.
>
I
The Japanese term -for the'
i “go-between” in the employment ,
| process is called the kone, which '
’ means “connection.” It refers to J
a person, or a friend of a person, J
’ who is ‘ already employed in a co- i
! mpany in "which the individual ;
sought future employment. Thus
a letter of introduction by a
kone is always in great demand. .
In actual fact, most people have
to :be ^satisfied "with letters wri
tten by a; friend or a'friend of
a -kone. In other words, the re
sources of a social network are
frequently employed in securing ,
employment in Japan. Tn contrast,-the newly arrive'd Japanese
immigrant in Canada is unable
to utilize the social
network c
well -established Tn Japan. Fur- L
thermore, ; the-curriculum -vitae and letters of recommendation .
- are not of importance in Canada .
and the immigrant is forced to
seek out his own source of em
ployment.
-Even with the -absence of a kone in Canada, Japanese im
migrants soon establish -social
contacts to whom the traditional
role performed by the kone in Ja-
be a Japanese immigrant who j
had arrived in Canada a Tew •
years earlier, then he or she 'acts :
as the sempai or senior immi- •
grant and subsequently assumes j
the role assigned to the kone i
in securing employment. In CCa- j
nada, this results not in writing j
letter's of recommendation, but
making personal visits to po- '
ssible employment sources toge- *1
ther with his kohai or junior im- J
migrant friend. Even in the ev- 1
ent that immediate employment j
is not obtained, the kohai immi
grant can more or less rest as- 1
sured that his sempai will event- ~!
ually suceed in finding suitable !
employment. In this manner, a i
system of mutual obligations is i
established between the sempai i
and kohai.

One might expect that the ,
« emphasis on finer* rank differen- .
g tiation in Japanese firms would :
« result in different operational ’
S and

£ employed by firms in Japan when
Some of the problems facing j
the Japanese immigrant seeking •
employment in Canada may have :
their source in these organiza- J
tional and procedural differences. J
In Japan, an individual’s social j
and educational background is I
considered quite important when j
.it .comes to employment, but a j
letter of recommendation submi- 5
tted with the job application is 'j
equally important. .'Employment i
mitmeiit and it is difficult to j
differentiate between the normal 'j
social relations .of one’s home, and J
those of the company. A Japa- 1
nese company provides housing, 4
medical and hospital
benefits, '|
recreational facilities, group ou- J
tings, and numerous other ser- j
vices. Given this paternalistic *
nature of a Japanese firm, the 1
letter of -recommendation serves '!
a similar purpose as the nakodo A
I
j ' procedure followed in the emplo: yment process can be as time '
: consuming ;as that of an arrang: ed marriage.
>
I
The Japanese term -for the'
i “go-between” in the employment ,
| process is called the kone, which '
’ means “connection.” It refers to J
a person, or a friend of a person, J
’ who is ‘ already employed in a co- i
! mpany in "which the individual ;
sought future employment. Thus
a letter of introduction by a
kone is always in great demand. .
In actual fact, most people have
to :be ^satisfied "with letters wri
tten by a; friend or a'friend of
a -kone. In other words, the re
sources of a social network are
frequently employed in securing ,
employment in Japan. Tn contrast,-the newly arrive'd Japanese
immigrant in Canada is unable
to utilize the social
network c
well -established Tn Japan. Fur- L
thermore, ; the-curriculum -vitae and letters of recommendation .
- are not of importance in Canada .
and the immigrant is forced to
seek out his own source of em
ployment.
-Even with the -absence of a kone in Canada, Japanese im
migrants soon establish -social
contacts to whom the traditional
role performed by the kone in Ja-
be a Japanese immigrant who j
had arrived in Canada a Tew •
years earlier, then he or she 'acts :
as the sempai or senior immi- •
grant and subsequently assumes j
the role assigned to the kone i
in securing employment. In CCa- j
nada, this results not in writing j
letter's of recommendation, but
making personal visits to po- '
ssible employment sources toge- *1
ther with his kohai or junior im- J
migrant friend. Even in the ev- 1
ent that immediate employment j
is not obtained, the kohai immi
grant can more or less rest as- 1
sured that his sempai will event- ~!
ually suceed in finding suitable !
employment. In this manner, a i
system of mutual obligations is i
established between the sempai i
and kohai.
