TORONTO. — An art exhibition is currently being planned
as a part of the. Japanese Canadian Centennial ^celebration in On­
tario. It. will be organized by the ^Ontario Centennial Ant Exhibit
Committee and the National Gallery of Canada.

,
?
We hope to present a cross section of the best ait being pro- duced by artists of Japanese descent working, in Ontario.
Artists will be invited to submit works in any medium. A jury,
‘undetermined,* .as yet) will be .given the responsibility of. selecting
the exhibition from .all submissions. The exhibit is. tentatively sche­
duled to open in early October, in Toronto, and then travel to five
other Ontario' centres; .Therefore, artists- are requested to exercise
discretion as to size and-fragility of works they might .enter.
? The National Gallery .will crate the accepted works, pay exhibition
fees to the autists, as well as cover the costs for all risk insurance
during the tour.
The Ontario .Centennial Art Exhibit will be the first time
that illumination has been cast on the collective contribution being
made by Japanese Canadians in the field of. visual arts. It will
provide a rare point of contact for artists, the Japanese Canadian
community and the public at large.
‘ .

in helping with- the organization of this project," please

‘Japanese Value The Unspoken Words’

.

Indig’enous Barriers, to Commumication” provided . a stimulating
forum?/ .
- ' \

In Japan, there is-distrust of
.verbal - communication and mini­
mal use of language is a virtue.
Business; politics : arid social codes
rely heavily, on the? unspoken
v.'ord. The unwritten contract, is
a norm in even the most progre/
ssive corporation. ^
cardinal
virtue of a politician is reticence.
Kunihiro emphasized, “There’ are
hot many' rewards for the,pushy
type in this society.” It? is a strict
social' n arm for the j uni or mem­
ber- of the' hierarchy not to . be
self-assertive.
