TOKYO — The Japanese
population is estimated to
reach a peak of 130.6 million,
some 13 million more than
the present population, in the
year 2008, according to a re­
port released recently by the
Health and Welfare Ministry's
Institute of Population Prob­
lems.
The institute estimated that
after peaking in 2008, the na­
tion's population would drop
to 118.4 million in 2075.
After 2075, the population
will become stable, demog­
raphers believe.
The percentage of elderly
people defined as those aged
65 or older, in Japan's total
population is expected to
grow from 9 percent in 1980
to 15.6 percent in 2000, the
institute said.
In 2020, elderly people.will
represent 21.8 percent of the
population, and in 2043, elder-,
ly people will account for 22.2
percent of the nation' s popu­
lation, the report said.
Demographers estimate in
the report that the percent­
age of people aged between
15 and 64 will increase from
67.39 percent in 1980 to a
peak of 69.31 percent in 1995.
But after that, the rate will
gradually decline to 61.04 per­
cent in 2065, they estimate.
The report also said: The
national census conducted in
1980 showed that Japan' s
population was 116.91 mil­
lion. The population will rise
to 122.83 million in year 1990,
and to 128.11 million in year
2000. It will continue to in­
crease to a peak of 130.6.mil­
lion in 2008.
Young people aged up to
14 totaled 27.54 million in
1980, 23.56 percent of the
total population. The percent­
age of young people in the
population will gradually de­
crease, the report said.

J.C. artist Miho Sawada solo exhibit
TORONTO — Artist Miho Sawada's solo exhibition opened on January
7th, 1982, at the Art Gallery of Hamilton and will continue until the 7th of
February. The official opening reception will be held on January 14th
at 8:30 p.m.
“For the past few years, I "have been working with plexiglass, resin,
canvas, plastic and wood,”, said Sawada. “I like soft materials si rice they
allow me tqjexpress rhy concept of space and time. The'space/time con­
cept in my work is flexible as oppose to rigid, fluid as oppose to concrete.”
In Two walls, two sets of folding screens (one with mylar arid the
other with plexiglass) are placed opposite each other forming a cylindrical
sphere, thus creating an environment of reflected surfaces. A strong light
projected from the ceiling —travels one panel to another, producing an
uncountable multiplicity of reflections of a person standing inside the work.
“There will be three other pieces besides Two walls,” said the artist.
“Walking through or around these works, I expect that viewers will ex­
perience my concept of. space/time and transparency — the landscape
of the world I live in.”

Toronto N isei Women's Club
report on last year's activities
TORONTO —The Toronto Nisei Women' s Club has now
completed 27 years of service in our community. Meetings
were usually held in members' homes. In May, we held a
dinner social with our husbands at China Hquse on Eglinton
Avenue, Toronto. During the year, we had guest speakers
such as Mr. C. Bateman, horticulturist, and Mrs. C. Mitsui,
social worker.
The Club purchased underwears and knitted articles for
donation to the Ontario Welcome House for new immigrants
and to the Toronto Welfare Depot. Monetary donations were
made to the Nipponia Home, Momiji Health Cafe and Japa­
nese Canadian Cultural Centre.
Our recipe book, “treasured recipes,’’ continues to sell
well to the public. This project is for the benefit of the
Japanese elderly care. Once again our members manned the
Tea Room as a public service during the J.C.C.C. annual
bazaar.

A few staunch members — Kay Hayashi, Mary Inouye,
Joanne Kiyonaga, Em Nose, Mary Obata, Eiko Omura, Hide
Shimizu and Kaz Umemoto — have expended many hours
with the Momiji Kai every second and fourth Tuesdays. The
purpose of this Momiji Kai is for social gathering of the
Isseis — to give them an opportunity to enjoy fellowship
listening to various speakers, watching films, taking part
in craft activities, cooking demonstrations, sumi6 instruc­
tions and Tai chi exercises, etc.

This past year the group had an outing at Black Creek
Pioneer Village in the spring and a visit to the J.C.C.C.
recreation project in Caledon in the fall.
The annual Christmas party in December is always the
highlight of the year. The volunteers prepared and served
“Nihon shoku” hot lunch to the Isseis and the Club mem­
bers baked Christmas goodies. The Christmas goodies were
also sent to the Isseis at Castleview/Wychwood and Green­
view Homes.
Presently, there are 19 Japanese residents, with seven
on the waiting list, at Castleview/Wychwood and 19 Japa­
nese residents in Greenview Home. Members also assisted
at the BeamsvillQ Nipponia Home Christmas Tea, held on
December 12, 1981.

In order to replenish our depleted treasury, our Novem­
ber meeting was held in the form of a mini bazaar with
members' donations and purchases. The executive for 1982
is as follows: Past President, Hide Shimizu; Vice-President,
Yuki Tamaki; Secretary, Kay Sakaguchi; Treasurer, Lily Oda;
Publicity, Tye Tsukada; Group Leaders: Central, Kay Haya­
shi; East, Kaz Umemoto; North, Aiko Murakami.
We welcome new and past members to join us in our

activities.

Japanese girls who linked
arms with American GIs dur­
ing the U.S. occupation. Such
sites were a bitter reminder
of defeat.
It was then that his father,
Fumio Umezawa, pioneered |
the technique now known as
shojomaku saisei, restoring
the hymen through plastic
surgery. '
_
In those days, virginity was
a highly valued commodity,
especially among high society fofks, said Umezawa, who
heads the Japan Society of
Aesthetic Surgery.
In an interview, Umezawa
said his father, now 71,. developed his technique for restoring the hymen after the
grandmother of a rape victim
asked him to help the girl,j
soon to be wed. The operation was a success and appeals for more were not long
coming.
“After World War II, we
were full every day,’’ said
younger Umezawa. Even geishas had to be virgins to
get a man.
Last year, Umezawa performed 100 such operations.
In the 1960s and 1970s, he
says, he did that many in one
week. He cites the advent of
birth control pills, longer life
spans and increased social
mobility as the main factors
behind the change in the
mores and morals.

Half of his patients, who
pay $220 to $260 for the operation, now are rape victims,
the majority of them teenagers.
