Potterer
Akiko
Kohana
By Flo SHIKAZE &
Lucy TAKAHASHI
(Mosh; Moshi) EDMONTON, Alta — We
recently interviewed a lady
with many talents, foremost a
potterer. At first a hobby, but
now much to her happiness
and pleasure, a full time job.
Akiko Kohana was born in
Japan, studied ceramics at
Gen Onodera's studio and
the Nippon Togei Club in
Tokyo. In 1971 she went to
California to study pottery
and anthropology as well as
ceramics and continued here
in Edmonton. She works in
both porcelain and stone­
ware. Her style and techni­
ques are Japanese, designs
are simple but gives one a
feeling of peace and serenity.
Akiko did not think of pot­
tery as a way of making a liv­
ing. She was asked to par­
ticipate in a craft fair, her ac­
ceptance opened the door to
a successful future. She
began her showings with
another artist but now, she is
so well known, that she is
able to have one person
shows.
The steps in creating a
piece of pottery is very inter­
esting and involved. The first
is “throw” to make the shape
of the work, on a potter's
wheel. It is then dried to
“leather hard,” trimming and
carving follow then left to dry
completely on a shelf. Firing
in a biscuit kiln is next. Then
comes the glazing or color­
ing. Some of the hues she us­
ed have been specially
created from pigments ob­
tained in Japan, not available
here. Firing is done for a full
day at a lower temperature,
then turned high the next.
During this time the unex­
pected often happens. Even
the weatherman has a hand in
the outcome as factors in­
clude the type of day, air cur­
rents, humidity in addition to
the amount of oxygen, heat
etc. At times an unusually in­
teresting color would appear,
which she tries to duplicate.
Akiko's talents can be
seen at many locations. The
Japanese Village Restaurant
has exclusively designed
kaiseki dishes; the EJCA has
selected a simplified pattern
of a mum reserved for the
senior citizens' only, two
pieces of which have been
presented at Keirokai 1986

Tokyo dialect (Edo-ben) said
to be fast disappearing
TOKYO.— The Tokyo di alect (Edo-ben), which has
been spoken by Tokyoites
since the 18th century Edo
Period, is fast disappearing,
and researchers are worried
that it will soon have vanish­
ed.
This was pointed out in a
language map of Tokyo com­
piled by the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education,
which has been studying the
Tokyo dialect since 1979.
Researchers said that the
older generation of Tokyoites
still
retain
words
and
phrases as well as an accent
peculiar to Tokyo, but
younger people speak more
or less standard Japanese.
The research was con-

ducted by five specialists ineluding Prof. Ichiro Oshima
of Tokyo Metropolitan University. Within the 23 wards of
the Tokyo Metropolitan area,
the researchers drew circles
with a radius of two kilo­
meters and five kilometers
around the Tokyo Metropoli­
tan Office, and in the Tama
area, a circle with a radius of
10 kilometers.
The researchers interview­
ed 52 persons of 60 years old
or older who were born and
raised at 27 points on the
circles, and 27 students of
the Tokyo Metropolitan University and International
Christian University who
were born and raised in
Tokyo.

In general, the survey
found a wide range of differ­
ence in their vocabulary.
Take the word “snail” for
instance, the elderly people
variously used ten names for
the creature, including maimaitsuburo, memetsuburo,
maimozu and maimaizu in ad­
dition to the standard Japan­
ese katatsumuri and dendenmushi.
The young people, on the
other hand, knew only the
standard Japanese terms.
The seniors have 15 words
for “sun-shower” such as
tenki-ame, yudachiburi, kitsune-no-yomeiri, hunataame,
oshimeri, and doyo-no-zazaburi while the younger res­
pondents use only tenkiame,
otenkiame, and itsune-noyomeiri, which are common
in every part of Japan.
The survey also found that
young people don't pronnounce words as Tokyoites
used to do; their pronuncia­
tion is more or less standard.
The pronunciation of a
73-year-old man in Taito-ku
and a 20-year-old student
were compared. The 73-yearold said shitotsu to mean
“one” while the student said
hitotsu as taught in school.

and enjoyed by all.

George Tsurda graciously
accepted the position of M.C.

could have done with 24
hours! Mr. Ed Nakamura gave
a short address on behalf of
the EJCA. Mr. Takashi Ohki
spoke in both Japanese and
English. The NHK in Japan
had approached him to
telecast news and interesting
happenings of Alberta, there­
fore, he has been sending in­

kindness and co-operation.
She encouraged new seniors
to join the club and assist
them in making this an active
group. She said, the other
pioneer seniors share these
feelings ... in her words
“yoroshiku

Exclusively designed procelain bowls by Akiko

The link between the ultra­

crime in Japan goes back to
the 1880s with the founding
by Mitsuru Toyama of the
Dark Ocean Society, the fore­
runner of Japan's secret
societies which were so ac­
tive in laying the groundwork
for Japan's expansion into
Korea and China. That link to­
day, however, remains just as
insidious, as yakuza connec­
tions with the right wing give
them access to some of the
highest circles of govern­
ment.

A book was published in
the United States last year
entitled “Yakuza, The Explo­
sive Account of Japan's
Criminal Underworld.” it was
the result of four years of in
depth research by two Ameri­
can journalists and is the
most comprehensive account
in English of the origins,
history,and traditions of
Japan's underworld. But
what makes this book a truly
explosive document is that it
also probes into Yakuza post

AND PARTNERS

war connections with the Ja­
panese government and
even the U.S. occupation
forces and explores in depth |
the spread of their activities I
into South East Asia, Hawaii, [
and more recently the U.S.
mainland. In this regard it is ,
the most comprehensive ac­
count in any language. It is of :
some significance that while
this book is attracting much
attention in the United States
it is largely being ignored in
Japan. According to the
January 20, 1987 edition of
Tokyo Insider, “when given
an opportunity to print a
Japanese translation of the L
book, some 10 publishers
declined, fearing retaliation
from the underworld.”
The Yakuza have often
been compared with the
Mafia and certainly in terms
of organizational structure,
discipline, and secret ritual
there are distinct similarities.
It is their super patiotism,
however, which makes them
very different. The Mafia re­
main outside the society in
which they operate while the
Yakuza, on the other hand,
cast themselves as the last
upholders of Japan's tradi­
tional values. Few Japanese
exceed the Yakuza in their
declared devotion to the
emperor. This link between
organized crime and ultrana­
tionalism is unique to Japan
and this is what makes the
Yakuza such an insidious and
deep rooted force in
Japanese society.
