NACJ Pres. Art Miki replies to the Montreal Redress Committe
By ART MIKI
(President N.A.J.C.j
The release by the Montreal Redress Committee of their resolution
and motion of non-confidence in the NAJC indicates a need for clarifica­
tion and communication.
The following resolution was passed at a public meeting in Montreal,
March 2, 1985:
‘‘Whereas the Government has proposed an acknowledgement of an
injustice and offered a symbolic monetary gesture, be it resolved that the
Japanese Canadian communities accept this proposal; be it further re-

solved that both parties begin a cunsultative process for compensation. ”
The above resolution must be considered in light of the present
Government proposal. Although the NAJC has not received the proposal
in writing, as far as we can determine at this time, the Government
seems willing to issue an apology and a six to ten million dollar educa­
tional trust fund.
According to Mr. Murta in an informal meeting with the President and
member of Council, the interest from the Trust Fund would be admini­
stered by a Board of nine directors, five Japanese Canadians and four
from other ethnic communities would be

J.C.C. Centre Annual Bazaar May 4

By JIN KONOMI
Once, at a social function at the
Imperial Palace, Emperor Meiji was
showing a medal, an award from
some foreign government, to a group
of nobles. The medal was passed
from hand to hand, and came to Mar­
quis Hachisuka, the last man on the
line. The marquis admired the medal,
then put it into his pocket. Seeing
this, the Emperor remarked: “I see
Hachisuka is being faithful to his
family tradition,” and roared with
laughter. The other nobles joined the
imperial merriment.
There was no doubt that Marquis
Hachisuka's putative attempt at pil­
ferage was purely an unthinking act.
But he was most abjectly mortified,
for there was no mistaking the Em­
peror's allusion. The founder of the
Hachisuka family line as rulers of
Awa (present Tokushima Prefecture)
under the Tokugawa regime was
Masakatsu, better known by the
more familiar name of Koroku. He
was the chief of a band of robbers.
In 1641 the Bakufu (Shogun's gov­
ernment) ordered all daimyo to sub­
mit their genealogies in order to
compile a directory. The order no
doubt caused some consternation in
many daimyo households and un­
wonted flurries of activity in the ar­
chives and secretaries' offices of
many clan governments. A boom de-3
veloped among the kelzu-shiri, pro­
fessional genealogy experts. Relying
as much on charlatanry and gall as
on scholarship, they could create
convincing genealogies, often out of
whole cloth.
But the Hachisuka antecedents
were a matter of national history, too
well known to falsify or embellish.
For this reason they were completely
above board. Not all diamyo, inclu­
ding the Shogun, could make the
same a claim.
Chief among the fabricators of
genealogies at this time was Hayashi
Daigaku no Kami, the Lord Provost of
the National Academy. The Haya­
shis, beginning with Doshun, were
an academic family and held the
hereditary post. Each generation of
them was the highest authority of his
time on matters of scholarship in the
Chutzu school descipline of Confu­
cianism, and his pronouncement on
any subject reflected the official
view of the bakufu. The head of the
National Academy could not have
been too busy a job, and Doshun no
doubt had plenty of time to figure out
the intricacies of the tangled family
lines.
One of his clients was Ikeda Mitsu­
masa, lord of Bizen (present Okaya­
ma Prefecture). To him all this fuss
must have seemed silly, if not dis­
tasteful. One day at the Edo Castle
he was asked by another lord to
which clan, Genji or Heike, his family
was descended from “I am having my
genealogy made up by Hayashi Dai­
gaku no Kami. As soon as he is fin­
ished, I will be able to tell you.”
For the honor of the decendants of
Marquis Hachisuka, I must add a
note. Later researches established
that Koroku was the son of a highranking, and reputable, daimyo. Too
bad the truth had not been known at
the time of his embarrassing gaffe.
I had the honor of interviewing the
reigning marquis in 1934 or therea­
bouts. He was on the way home from
England, where he attended Oxford
University, and published a learned
book dr monogram on the dodo. In
fact he was the world authority on
the extinct bird.

TORONTO. — The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre will
be holding their Annual Bazaar on May 4th, 1985 at the Centre.
Meals will be served continuously, including the popular
Udon. There will be a snack bar and a tea room, too. Delicious
“sushi” will be on sale and baked goods, as well, which are
getting increasingly popular. Various gift items, hand sewn
items, boutique items will be on sale and there will be the
usual “white elephant” sale.

“Air Trip to Japan” raffle draw will take place on this date.
Bazaar tickets are on sale now at $2.00 each, which is
equivalent $2.00 in currency. It is recommended that these
tickets be purchased as they not only are eligible for lucky
draws but they, also, help the Centre as tickets prepurchased
are easier to handle then cash.
We look forward to seeing you all at our Bazaar! •

Ontario...
We’ve got dreams and room to grow.
The future is ours and getting better.
In these challenging times,
we Ontarians have main­
tained a balanced society
based on sound manage­
ment by the PC government.
But we cannot be compla­
cent. We must forge ahead
and start building towards
the future.
A PC government under
Frank Miller will ensure that
our economy will continue to
grow and provide economic
opportunity for everyone.

Enterprise Ontario will put
new technology to work...
establishing the Ministry of
Skills Development so that
we can be better equipped
to face the demands of new
technology.

On March 22, Frank Miller
launched a coordinated eco­
nomic and social program
called Enterprise Ontario
worth over $1.3 billion...a
giant step that will create
new jobs, secure employ­
ment, further strengthen our
economic climate and improve
opportunities for all
Ontarians.

Let’s face the future with a.
man and a government that
can best govern us during
these challenging times...
Frank Miller and the
Progressive Conservatives!!
With our combined know­
how, resources, spirit and
skills, we can all capture
and meet the challenge of
tomorrow!!

Premier FRANK MILLER

Let’s build on the strength of Ontario!!
On May 2, vote for Frank Miller and the
Progressive Conservatives!!
