Giri - Ninjo
a Nikkei
syndrome
By CHARLES KADOTA
of Vancouver
For centuries and even to­
day, people in Japan label
themselves as being girininjo. Giri means obligation
or duty, and that this trait is
ingrained in them by tradition
over many centuries.
It is therefore understan­
dable that the Isseis, having
been born and raised in Ja­
pan until their late teens or
early twenties, brought this
tradition with them and that it
has remained with them, as is
most common to all immi­
grants to Canada. Due to lan­
guage and other cultural bar­
riers, the Isseis, for the most
part, have regarded themselves
first as Japanese, and sec­
ondly, as Canadians. They
judge by Japanese values,
and in their eyes, they feel
that Canada has been rela­
tively kind to them. They ac­
cepted internment not as
Canadian Citizens, but as Ja­
panese immigrants.
And because they observe
the tradition of “Giri-Ninjo”,
they sincerely believe that
any favor or kindness bestow­
ed upon them, makes them
forever beholden to their ben­
efactor. It is a moral obligation
which they carry with them to
their grave. This sense of in­
debtedness is so deep that it
can over-ride any breech of
personal or political rights
which they may have suffered
as Canadian Citizens during
and after World War II. They
even feel that they are “ex­
tremely fortunate” to be re­
ceiving their Old Age Pen­
sion.
As is true with most in­
grained traditions, they are
passed on in part, to each
succeeding generation. It is
therefore fair to say that even
we, the Niseis, share some of
this giri-ninjo syndrome.
Many of us are beholden to
our parents or to Canada to a
greater extent than our Cau­
casian counterparts. I would
dare say that for some wno
would deny its existence, it
has become a subconscious
form of bondage.
In reading the statements
made by the Japanese Cana­
dian Redress Committee of
Survivors, there is positive
evidence of this giri-ninjo
syndrome. However, let me
make it very clear that I am

FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1985

VANCOUVER. — Japanese
officials mixed religion with
pomp, ceremony and sushi
recently to officially mark
their participation in Expo 86.
A highlight of the Japanese
presence at the transportation
fair will be demonstration
rides on a magnetic levitation
train.
Officials from Expo 86, Ex­
po 85 in Tsukuba, Japan, and
several Canadian and Japa­
nese corporations which will
help construct the Japanese
pavilion took part in a Shinto
ground-breaking ceremony at
the pavilion site.
“We have chosen this Ja­
panese Shinto ceremony in
the hope that you will all ex­
perience with us a traditional
Japanese expression of grati­
tude and respect.” said Shi­
zuo Asada, president of the
Japanese Association for Ex­
po 86.
'The Kannushi, or Shinto
priest, dressed in traditional
Japanese costume, said pray­

purify the area of all evil spirits

First Asian female

Capt. in U.S. Navy

Captain Valentine Nishihara
ORLANDO, Florida. — A
California-born Japanese
American women has gained
the distinction of being the
first Asian female chosen to
the command rank of Captain
in the history of the United
States Navy.

Valentine Nishihara of Cape
Canaveral, florida, was one of
three women line officers
recently selected for promo­
tion to Captain in the United
States Naval Reserve.
“When I went into the ser­
vice, it was not considered
the proper thing for women,”
Nishihara said in a story pub­
lished in Today, a Brevard
County, Fla. newspaper. “The
military was not a field you
went into, especially if you
were form a conservative
family, and most Orientals
are conservative.”

“I was probably years ahead
of most Orientals who would
do that,” Today quoted her as
saying. She said she met no
Asian women in the service
on active duty and never en­
countered discrimination
based on race or sex.
Captain Nishihara, the sec­
ond daughter of George
Hideo and Shigeko Nishihara
of Santa Barbara who was
born on Valentine's Day in
Santa Barbara, first joined the
Navy as a seawoman recruit
when she was a freshman
student at the Unversity of
California, Santa Barbara.

Saga of struggling U.S. Keibei

GANBATTE: Sixty-Year
Struggle of a Keibei Worker
By Karl G. Yoneda
UCLA Asian American Stu­
dies Center, $8.95 paper.

tarian emancipation and

Your wavy hair signifies a

onstration in Los Angeles and its lea­
der, Yoneda's romantic ideal.
An amazing photo in the book
shows a younger Yoneda, visiting a
blind Russian anarchist fantasy wri­
ter in Peking, 1923, where he had tra­
veled from Hiroshima on a character­
istically romantic quest.
A teenager at the time, he would in
a few years defy every stereotype of
the Asian-American, publishing Red
propaganda, agitating against the
system, and (the real secret of the
poem) flouting California's misce­
genation laws by wooing a white (and
for that matter, married) woman.
“Ganbatte” is one of these poli­
tical self-histories so honest and vul­
nerable not even the too-familiar left­
wing phrases grate.
Yoneda tells of being born in Los
Angeles county in 1906, the son of an
impoverished scholar who later re­
turned with the family to Japan.
Young Karl led newsboy strikers at
age 10; he grew up as an organizer of
Hiroshima printers and rubber work­
ers, editor of a farmers' paper, and
all-around precocious radical.
He came back to California in 1926
to beat the Japanese draft, and soon
became editor of a Japanese-language
Communist newspaper serving most­
ly gardeners, farmhands, and domes­
tics.
At the time its publishers, the “Ja­
panese Workers Association,” had a
sectarian approach, sending comrades
out in the streets with “Defend the
Soviet Union” placards. But its acti­
vists had guts and a certain charm.
They pulled jujitsu against cops
twice their size, until hit with jail sen­
tences for “inciting to riot.”
They had a small but passionate
following among Asian American

women, awakened to their rights by
Marxist denunciations of “male
chauvinism.”
They played a vastly disproportion­
ate role in organizing cannery work­
ers, farm workers, and the unemployed. And they helped a still smal­
ler but important Chinese American
left into existence.
Yoneda emerges from these events
a courageous but not fanatical char­
acter, dogmatic about Marxism-Len­
inism yet eager to learn from condi­
tions at hand.
He proved his steadfastness after
Pearl Harbor, when he volunteered
for internment at the Manzanar eva­
cuation camp, and took on the task
of defeating Japanese Imperial sym­
pathies among the internees while
protesting their mistreatment by the
U.S. government.
Decades later, he would help lead
a pilgrimage back to Manzanar, and
bring a resolution to a CPUSA con­
vention condemning the Party's
suspension of all Japanese American
members for the duration (“very
grave inroads of racism in our
ranks”).
After the war, Yoneda worked as a
longshoreman, later as a chicken-far­
mer among the aging Yiddishists of
Petaluma. He' also wrote a history of
Japanese American labor, published
in Japan in 1967.
Today he remains his modest, en­
ergetic self, still in love with the
woman of the poem.
Through it all he stuck with the CP,
his defense of which provides the
grist for the dullest section of the
book.
But Yoneda has always been more
personally interesting than his line.
These day Bay Area Asian American
unionists, Maoist and apolitical alike,
consider him the grand uncle of their
efforts, and many aged non-radical
Japanese Americans recall him as a
fearless “samurai” of human rights.
To younger Asian Americans,
“Ganbatte” is also important for
literary reasons.
Fully one-third of the Asian Ameri­
can population has landed since
1965, and the last 10 years have seen
the rise of a remarkable cultural
movement up and down the West
Coast.
While pushing its current literary
champions, like Frank Chin and Nelie
Wong, the network has also set out
to recover a missing heritage.
Shadowy figures like Yone Nogu­
chi (eccentric poet Joaquim Miller's
houseboy!), satirist Shakome Washizu,
and the more famous Filipino author­
agitator Carlos Bulosan invariably
made their own lives their best sub­
ject.
Most died-young, in obscurity and
privation. Yoneda is a survivor and
part of the same story, whose grand­
est chapters lie ahead.

DATES AND DOINGS
Haiku Canada wants all poets
By DOROTHY HOWARD
AYLMER, P.Q. — Haiku Canada (formerly the Haiku Socie­
ty of Canada) has been in existence since 1977. Its main goal
is to bring together poets and other persons interested in
haiku and related forms.
As the new presidents of Haiku Canada, we hope the
Society will continue to provide members with the opportu­
nity to exchange ideas on haiku and news about their acti­
vities and those of other clubs and societies.
As the Society has principally centred around English
Canadian poets, it is our desire to more«#uIly inform members
of activities of Japanese and French Canadian haiku poets
as well.
Haiku Canada activities have included an annual meeting
in the sping and another in the natural setting in the fall, as
well as readings and guest speakers. The Newsletter will con­
tinue to be the main link between members. The Newsletter,
to appear five times a year, will contain information on mem­
bers' activities and publications as well as articles on Haiku
and related topics.
The members of Haiku Canada are very much interested
in haiku by Japanese Canadians. We know very little about
your clubs and societies. We would greatly appreciate an
article on your club, its history, activities and publications.
Interest in tanka, renga, senryu and haibun is growing and
we very much hope to hear from you regarding these forms
as well. Address is: Ms. Dorothy Howard, 67 Court, Aylmer,
P.Q. J9H4M1.
Please do not hesitate to ask for more information. We
hope to hear from you soon.

Forgotten
face and
forgotten
names
By DELPHINE HIRASUNA
I once attended a rather
hoidy-toidy party, where a
well-known personality introduced himself to me. The
man graciously extended his
hand and said, “So lovely to
meet you. You must visit me
on my yacht some time.”
I was quite impressed and
flattered, until he came up to
me two more times during
the evening. Each time he ex­
tended his hand as if we had
never met before, introduced
himself and said, “So lovely
to meet you. You must visit
me on my yacht some time.”
Needless to say, this man
had a horrible memory. For
one thing, he forgot that his
“yacht” was actually a large
motor boat.
He also failed to note that I
happened to be the only Asi­
an at the party — or maybe he
thought that all Asians look­
ed alike and they all looked
like me.
At any rate, even on our
third introduction, my face
didn't seem familiar to him.
Although I chucked over
the incident then, it must
have hurt me somewhat be­
cause I remember it even
after eight years. Still, I know
how hard it is to attach
names to faces. Often I find
myself in situations where I
meet a dozen or more people
in a few minutes time and
everybody becomes a blur.
“Nice to meet you,” I murmur
as we shake hands. But my
mind is darting around ask­
ing, did he say his name was
Fred or Ted? Or was it that
other guy with the checked
shirt that's Ted? By then, of
course, I've met a half dozen
more people and nobody's
name sounds familiar any­
more. Fred, Ted, Jed ... To
make matters more embar­
rassing, everybody seems to
remember mine, or a close
facsimile. “So, Daphne, what
do you do for a living?”
A name is a very personal
thing. I know I feel flattered
when someone cares enough
to remember mine. I try, God
knows I try, but learning more
than three names at one time
requires a knack like juggling
ten artichokes at one time.
The best I can do is remember
when I've met someone be­
fore — and that I don' t own a
yacht.

Oldest man now 120 years young
TOKYO. — Shigechiyo Izumi,
reported to be the world's
oldest man, celebrated his
120th birthday recently with
his customary glass of sho­
chu liquor, the centernarian's
secret of long life.
The wiry Izumi, sporting
a long wispy goatee, was feted
by his fellow townspeople in
Isen-Machi, on the island of
Tokunoshima, Kagoshima
Prefecture in western Japan.
Among the well-wishers
were a set of 5-year-old quintupulets born the same day
as Izumi. Their father works
in the town office.
Before the party started,
Izumi went about his daily
routine.
“He had a walk in the gar-

den, as usual, and looks fit as
ever,” an Izumi family member
revealed in a telephone inter­
view. “He had his usual glass
of shochu (liquor distilled
from sugar cane). He never
misses his nightly shot of it.”
Kyodo News Agency quoted
Izumi as saying he has lived
to such an advanced age
thanks to “God's will,” clean
living, and his daily dose of
spirits.
The centenarian is known
to be fond of television, fav­
oring sports events and sam­
urai dramas.
Born in 1865, Izumi has
seen Japan move from rule
under the Tokugawa Shoguns
to the present day system of
parliamentary government.

MONTREAL. — Jazz superstar Miles Davis and Lee Konitz catch the glances in the
hotel dining room but a boyish
looking Japanese pianist sit­
ting nearby is emerging as
the new jazz musician to watch.
He is Makoto Ozone, a
24-year-old prodigy whose
career is taking off so fast
that Cashbox magazine has
rated his latest recording as
number two in sales by a new
jazz musician, just behind
guitarist sensation Stanley
Jordan.
Ozone has played or been
booked at festivals in Los An­
geles, New York, West Berlin,
Toronto, Quebec City and To­
kyo. And with another album
on the way^ his talent is get­
ting wider exposure and rec­
ognition.
Ozone, says vibraphonist
Gary Burton, is “a virtuoso in­
strumentalist, a natural musi­
cian and a born improvisor
whose experience and insight
into jazz belies his age. His
technical skills are astound­
ing.”
These skills were on display
at two sold-out concerts at
the festival here, one with
Burton and the other a 90minute solo gig that featured
some breathtaking technique
in his own compositions.
But Ozone is the first to ad­
mit that jazz is more than
technique and that he is still
searching for his own voice.
“My goal is to find my own
music, and I haven't found it
yet. I first have to find my fa­
vorite music and that will
lead me into my own stronger
identity as a pianist, my own
style.”

Then at the age of 12 in
Japan he heard Canada's Os­
car Peterson. The concert
captured the youngster's im­
agination and convinced Oz­
one to take the piano serious­
ly and develop his talent.
“I saw Peterson playing
solo and I just couldn't be­
lieve it. I was in love with this
guy for 10 years, he drove me
mad,” Ozone recalled in an

interview the morning after
staying up until 5 a.m. jam­
ming in the hotel lobby.
As a teenager, Ozone tran­
scribed all of Peterson's im­
provisations from 40 records
before coming to North
America at 19 to pursue jazz
studies at Boston's Berklee
School of Music where his
technical prowess captured
attention.
Yet he does not play in Pe­
terson's stride-based style,
leaning more toward the Gary
Burton-Chick Corea-Keith
Jarrett school: more muscuularthan Jarrett, less Span­
ish-romantic than Corea,
more lyrical than Burton.
Ozone is so sure of himself
that he does not do what
most other musicians do —
practise many hours a day —
and tries not to listen to too
many other pianists. Before
a concert he merely warms
up for half an hour.
“I try not to listen to any pi­
ano player at this moment be­
cause I spent so much time
transcribing records — I have
a natural talent for picking up
everything’without reading.
“I hear something, and if I
like it, it just stays in my head
and the next thing you know
it pops up when I play.”
Ozone concedes that “every
now and then” he sounds like
Burton, his friend, musical
partner and producer of his
new record an another sche­
duled for fall release.
“When I'm comping to his
solo I listen to it very careful­
ly ... so the next thing I know
on my next solo I'm playing
his phrase and I say to my­
self, ‘hey, this is what Gary
just did’.”
But Ozone' s fresh approach
and his expressiveness are
catching on and success is
coming his way. He lives in a
condominium apartment in
an exclusive part of Boston,
owns two cars, just bought a
miniature Doberman, enjoys
fine French cuisine and plans
to buy a boat.
One thing he doesn't own
is an acoustic piano. “If I play
a concert grand I' m gonna be
waking up everybody on the
next floor. Why ask for extra
trouble?”

Japan still top film market
TOKYO. — Japan, for the
second consecutive year, has
emerged as the largest export
market for the major U.S. film
production-distributor com­
panies.
The companies, including
Columbia, Paramount, Twen­
tieth Century Fox, MGM/UA,
Universal, Warners, Walt
Disney and Tristar, drew a
total of $79,000,000 out of Ja­
pan in 1984.
While American films are
extremely popular in Japan,
the reverse isn't true. Theo­
ries explaining the phenome­
non range from racial (Wes­
terners can't identify with
Orientals onscreen) to econo­
mic (Japanese productions
simply can't afford to be as
“glossy” as American films).
The fact is that even the
best-rated and mostly highly
acclaimed Japanese features
bomb in the U.S.
Shohei Immamura's “Narayama Bushiko” (The Ballad
of Narayama) may have won
the Cannes Festival's Gol­
den Palm citation in 1983, but
it still did poorly in'the U.S.
At issue in Japan's film
community is whether Japa­
nese producers should emu­
late U.S. production styles
with “international content”
or stick to traditional Japa­
nese topics and themes.
A strong proponent of rea­
ching out to international
markets, particularly in the
U.S., is producer Simon Tse
of Stik Inti.
Tse is Chinese by birth but
is a longtime fixture of the
Japanese production scene.
He also speaks colloquial En­
glish, making his entry into
U.S.-related producton that
much easier.
Tse has several projects
brewing in California. “I want
to shoot an American-style

production with Japanese ac­
tors in it,” he confides. “I'm
trying to link in this way the
Japanese and American mar­
kets/’
The traditional viewpoint is
expressed by director Yoshi­
mitsu Morita, best known for
his “The Family Game,” a
satire about modern family
life.
Morita recently said, “I
often visit the United States,
and was convinced that the
films of the style of American
pictures could be made in
Japan as well. But my mind
has changed.”
He isn't specific on exact­
ly why. He says instead the
“future of Japanese films” is
better served by making films
“Typical of Japanese charac­
ter.”
An example of this is his
current film “Sorekara” (And
Then. . .), about a young man
who falls in love with a married
woman. The novel, written by
Soseki Natsume, was pub­
lished serially in 1909 by The
Asahi Shimbun.

Japanese prodigy, Makoto Ozone
heads for jazz superstardom

Although his father is Min­
oru Ozone, one of Japan's
best-known jazz pianists,
Makoto was largely self-taught
as he concentrated on the
Hammond organ at home.
