A Bird’s Eye View

The national Land Agency,
to which the council is an ad­
visory body, will listen to
views of local governments,
work out its draft of the
“fourth comprehensive national development plan for
1986-2000” by next spring
and get a formal cabinet ap­
proval next June.
The agency put together a
tentative draft of the plan
in August which called for a
balanced development of the
three principal urban areas,
Tokyo, Kansei, and Chubu,
and other local cities. Prime
Minister Nakasone, attaching
great importance to redevel­
opment of urban areas, was
not satisfied with the recom­
mendations and ordered the
agency to come up with a dif­
ferent draft.
The rewritten outline warns
against the excessive con­
vergence of population and
industries in Tokyo, which it
says would paralyze the func­
tions of the city and aggra­
vate the living environment
as well as damage the “bal­
ance between national and
resources and human activi­
ties.” It also touches on the
importance of improving the
urban functions in the Kan­
sai, Chubu and other city
districts.
However, the new. plan
makes it clear that Tokyo
takes precedence over the
other urban areas in rede­
velopment.

Fourth Biannual Pan Am
Nikkei confab slated July
23 — 26 in Buenos Aires
TORONTO. — The 4th Biannual Pan American Nikkei Con­
vention will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 23rd
to July 25th, 1987, reports the Toronto JCCA.
The Centro Nikkei Argentine, the host organization in
Buenos Aires, the city called the “Paris of the Americas”, is
planning many activities for.visitors to their beautiful city.
An extra added attraction will be the 5th Pan American
Nikkei Karaoke Concert to be held in conjunction with the
convention.
All those who wish to attend the convention in 1987,
should contact the Toronto JCCA or Kim Nakashima at the
Montreal Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre.

TOKYO — The redevelop­
ment of Tokyo into the finan­
cial and information centre of
the world will lead Japaninto
the 21st century, according to
the outline of a new national
land development plan an­
nounced recently.
The development guide­
lines, pieced together by the
planning committee of the
National Land Council, as­
sume the continued concen­
tration of populations and
businesses in the capital
and put top priority on its
redevelopment in revitalizing
the whole country toward the
next century.
This is a major turnabout
from the past development
plans which envisioned a
“balanced multi-polar de­
velopment” of the country
through the scattering of
population and -industries
across the nation.

become eager buyers. In two
weeks of record-breaking au­

Japanese buyers bought
many of the most expensive

was bought by an annonymous Japanese businessman

In recent sales at Christie's,
Japanese purchases account­

NEW YORK-Over the last

Polowy, said it showed
strong cultural differences
between the two countries
and cautioned that most of
the findings cannot be ap­
plied to Canada.
“You can't transplant cul­

we don't all have the same

Among the differences:
• Japanese children are
taught from infancy what
their place will be within
society, and even what com­
pany they will likely work for
when they grow up.
• There are more than 100
private universities in that
country, controlled by busi­
nesses. Children could be en­

age three and continue with
that company's educational
program until graduation.

Toronto Museum public participation
TORONTO. — All Torontonians are invited to take part in
the creation of a Museum of Toronto. This exciting, educa­
tional and entertaining facility will tell the living story that
is Toronto. The Toronto Historical Board is now asking for in­
terested citizens to submit briefs, make comments or attend a
heritage conference to be held at City Hall on February 14
and 15, 1987.
Individual.3 and community, cultural and heritage groups
should submit their ideas on all aspects of the museum,
including themes and content, programmes and activities,
collections and location. For the creation of a Museum of
Toronto your ideas should be submitted to the Toronto His­
torical Board before February 14, 1987. All public input will
be taken into consideration in planning the museum.
Toronto needs a museum to preserve and present its
story. The museum is to be a dynamic contemporary institu­
tion that interprets all aspects of the history and development
of the community and its people from prehistoric times to the
cosmopolitan metropolis it is today and will be in the future.

This is one of those rare opportunities where "personal potential" is
deemed to be more relevant than direct experience. The role requires a
bright, young individual with solid academic credentials, preferably at
the graduate level in business, finance or possibly economics. Mature,
poised and self confident, this person must have the necessary presence
and interpersonal skills to work effectively in the sophisticated world of
international finance. As well, the position calls for an ambitious self
starter who is eager to learn, results oriented, and motivated by sub­
stantial income potential. Above all, this individual must be able to
communicate effectively in both Japanese and English.
Our client enjoys such a high profile that any attempt to describe the
organization would reveal its identity immediately. Suffice it to say,,
therefore, that as industry leaders they have the ability to attract and
develop individuals of the highest calibre. That's the objective here —
to identify candidates with those attributes which constitute true
"potential" — our client will take it from there.

TOKYO. — “Toilet Day”
may come to Tokyo, as part of
a campaign to clean up
public lavatories, a long
source of complaint from for­
eign visitors.
Organizing the campaign is
the Japan Toilet Association,
a private body promoting ef­
forts to eliminate the conven­
tional image of communal la­
vatories as “dirty and stink­
ing” places and create a new
image of relaxation and com­
fort.
The symposium will fea­
ture not only lectures but
panel discussions on the
toilet situation in foreign
countries, with the par­
ticipants including foreign
residents living in Japan.
Another highlight of the
event will be a contest to
select the nations “best 10”
public toilet.
According to a nationwide
survey on public toilets, pro­
bably the first of its kind in
Japan, such facilities are
available at roughly 30,000
locations across Japan, at a
rate of one for every 4,059
people.

Ochiai becomes
highest paid
Jphz. ball star
TOKYO. — Three-time trip­
le crowned hitter Hiromitsu
Ochiai will be the highest paid
player in Japan's pro base­
ball history next season with
his yearly salary estimated at
120 million yen ($812,500),
local news reports said re­
cently.
Ochiai, 33, signed a con­
tract with the Chunichi Drag­
ons of the Central League to
which he was traded from the
Lotte Orions of the rival Pa­
cific League in the most sen­
sational off-season deal this
year.
He will be the first player in
Japan's pro baseball history
to be paid more than 100
million yen ($625,000).
Ochiai was exchanged for
four Dragon players — three
pitchers, Kazuhiko Ushijima,
35, Shigeru Kurata, 26, and
Sadaharu Hiranuma, 21, and
infielder Seiji Kamikawa, 26.
Ochiai won the Pacific
League trippie crown titles
three times, two in a row in
1985 and 1896, since he joined
the Orions in 1979.
He had a .364 average with
50 homers and 116 runs bat­
ted in this season to win the
title. His record in 1985 was
.367 with 52 homers and 146
RBIs.

Youth Peace Ambassador

of Japan.

By Karen Goodfellow

I sit in my room, alone and quiet.
My door shut against the western
culture, but only for an hour or so.
Quietly, I sit on the edge of the bed,
leafing through the piles of travel
brochures, books, newspaper clipings and postcards. As I re-read a
letter from the Mayor of Nagasaki I
think back to the summer.
Two months ago, I returned from
touring Japan as a Youth Peace Am­
bassador, representing the young
people of Toronto. I spoke with
mayors, children, teachers, students,
artists and reporters, about our con­
cern for world peace.
Through the students, I learned
that we share the same goals; we
exchanged ideas and compared cul­
tures. It's too bad that so many think
we're so different just because we
may speak a different language or
look different from each other. Peo­
ple tend to overlook the fact that we
are all human; that we all have the
same feelings and needs; that we
would ail like to be free from the
shadow of war and of death.
Much to the surprise of some of
the reporters that I have encounter­
ed, I found no hostility or bitterness
towards North Americans in either
Hiroshima or Nagasaki. The Japa­
nese people are using the atomic
bombings on Japan in 1945 as a war­
ning to the rest of the world and to
those of us who don't really under­
stand the extent of damage that a
nuclear weapon is capable of. They
have not chosen to dwell on the past
but, instead, to look and to work hard
towards
a peaceful future.

in Japan.)
In Nagasaki, I had a 12-year-old
sister, Yukiko, and a 10-year-old
sister, Satoko. Fireworks are a very
big thing with the Japanese children,
and Satoko insisted on putting on a
show In front of the house in my
honor. One night we sat around the
table on our mats and watched tele­
INSURANCE
vision. We watched a Friday night
rock/pop music show similar to
those in North America. I decided
that I wanted to get a single by one
4515'Chesswood Dr.Ste. L
of the top Japanese Pop groups. I
Downsview Ont. M3J 2V6' was
quite surprised to learn that a
single cost about 800 yen (almost
phone 633 4882
$8.00
Canadian) and that The tape
Home 449-9293
J
cost 2300 yen ($23.00).

Meeting the Mayor of Nagasaki
NAGASAKI. — Along with Mrs. Setsuko Thurlow, A-bomb
survivor (left) is Karen Goodfellow, meeting the mayor of
Nagasaki (third from left) and a Chinese student from Canada.
My family took me downtown one
evening for dinner. Here we had Sa­
shimi (raw fish strips) that were still
moving (my favorite), tempura, rice,
soup, and many other Japanese dish­
es — in all, there were 13 dishes!
This was quite unusual as the Japa­
nese are known for eating small por­
tions (this was what would have been
ordered for a party). My stay with the
two families was an indication of the
way we were treated in Japan. We
were treated like special people, with
a lot of honour and respect.
In Hiroshima, we attended the YM­
CA sponsored International Youth
Peace Seminar at their conference
centre in the mountains. Here, we
represented the young people of
Canada and met with students from
ail over Japan and with some from
the states of Honolulu, Alaska, and
Massachusetts. It was the first year
for Canadians to attend this con­
ference, which started in the late
1960s. Here we discussed everything
from Apartheid to Vietnam to the
nuclear arms race today. But we
didn't just talk about these serious
topics, we also were given a lot of
free time to talk, to stargaze, and to
listen to music. They also gave us
two parties. Many good friends were
made and lots of letters have gone
back and forth in the last two
months.
After the three days at the con­
ference we were up at 5:00 a.m. and
off to the Memorial Service at the
Peace Park. Here we were given
special guest seating near Bishop
Tutu's wife and many other ambas­
sadors from all over the world. Thou­
sand of people had come to attend
the service, to pray or to ponder over
world peace. During the service, hun­
dreds of uniformed police formed a
human chain around the park to pro­
tect us (the people) from the right­
winged protesters on the streets.
Our prayers for peace were inter­
rupted by their screaming into the
megaphones.
In Nagasaki we attended a memo­
rial service, met with a student dis­
armament group, toured the city with
them, attended, a special reception
held by the mayor, and we spoke with
the Hibakusha (survivors of the
atomic bombings on Japan in 1945).

The trip from Tokyo, to Kyoto, to
Hiroshima and Nagasaki proved to
be both a great experience and a
great success.
As we left the nursing home for the Hibakusha one lady said that they
were passing the torch of peace
down on us, the young people, and
she asked us to keep it lit.
