Mr. Ando said that the com­

hooked on Dickens.
Providentially the town library was
back to back where I lived, and I had
a whole new set of Dickens. So I de­
cided to read them all. By the end of
the four semesters, I was in the high
school, I managed to read Nicholas
Nickelby, Martin Chuzzlewit, Domby
and Son, Old Curiosity Shop, Little
Dorritt, The Bleak House, Great Ex­
pectations, Our Mutual. Friend and
Oliver Twist.

Looking back now across the span
of nearly a lifetime, I cannot help a wry
smile of amusement and consider­
able self-disgust, at the utter bullheadedness of the way I went about
learning English: English for use in
American college, through an author
of nearly a century past, by the aid of
an English dictionary. I never stop­
ped to think about it, and I never
asked advice of anyone, even of my
father, who had a good command of
English. And the humiliating memory
of the exploitation to which I submit­
ted for two years still.galls me to this
day.

And yet my days in Santa Maria
were a sort of enchanted interlude,
enveloped in a glow of innocent op­
timism in the limitless possibilities

“Make-Up” one-woman

lOKIHd

TORONTO. — “Make-Up”, a stunning one-woman show
from Japan with English subtitles, will play for one night only
on October 10, at 8:00 p.m., at the Premiere Dance Theatre,
Harbourfront, 207 Queen's Quay West. The Toronto perfor­
mance is sponsored by TEC Toyota. “Make-Up” has won
the highest honors for acting and directing as well as critical
acclaim for hundreds of successful performances.
Since 1982, audiences in Japan, the United States and
Paris have joined in the applause for Misako Watanabe, one of
Japan's leading actresses for her role in Make-Up. Written
by the gifted and prolific playwright Hisashi Inoue and dir­
ected by Koichi Kimura, the respected head of the Chijinkai
company, .it is a 90-minute virtuoso performance delivered
with astonishing enegry and appeal.
Ms. Watanabe creates the many worlds of her character,
switching deftly from her real presona as actress to the roles
of the heroine and finally descending to a third level of reality.
Along the way, we are given a glimpse of a multitude of char­
acters and emotions, ranging from the comic.to-the tragic^
The play is presented by the Japan Communications Inc.
and produced by Chijinkai, Tokyo. The Canadian tour was
arranged by Atmo Productions Inc., Montreal, with the sup­
port of the Embassy of Japan, Ottawa.

Tourist Sub Ready To Dive

By BILL HOSOKAWA
Among my Christmas gifts was a
big fat book (586 pages including in­
dex) titled The Dictionary of Cultural
Literacy, published by Houghton Mif­
flin. It-is a kind of one-volume en­
cyclopedia of human knowledge, and
it was given me by my daughter
Susan and her family consisting of
husband Warren, and offspring Steve
and Stephanie.
They know that in my business,
which is writing and editing, it is
necessary to know a little bit about
many things rather than a lot about a
few things as would, for example, a
physician. So they figured this book
would be useful, and they were right;
This new book will take its place
on the shelves along with Barron's
Student's Concise Encyclopedia,
another one-volume reference book
which my othe daughter, Christie,
and her family (husand Lloyd, offspr­
ing Matt, Jon and Tiffany) gave me
bor my birthday. Between the two
books I ought to be able to look up
almost anything.
Yet the books illustrate how dif­
ficult it is to condense the total of
human experience and knowledge in­
to a single volume and treat each en­
try adequately and accurately. Take,
for instance, the entry on “JapaneseAmericans, internment of,” in the
“American History, since 1865” sec­
tion of the cultural dictionary.
This was an episode of history that
had a profound effect on all of us and
nearly a half century late it continues
to dominate the thoughts and ac­
tivities of many. It gets 14 lines in the
book, compared to four lines for‘‘Jim
Crow” and four lines for “John Birch
Society,” on the same page. This is
what the book says:
“An action taken by the federal
government in 1942, after the air
force of Japan had bombed Pearl
;Harbor and brought the United States
into World War II. Government of­
ficials feared that Americans of
Japanese descent living on the West
Coast mihgt cooperate in an invasion,
of the United States by Japan. Ac-,
Cordingly, over 100,000 of these
residents were forced into relocation
camps inland, many losing their
homes and jobs in the process.
About two-thirds of those moved
were United States citizens. (See
Nisei.) Many Japanese-Americans,
including an entire army battalion,
distinguished themselves in combat
in World War II.”
There are at least two factual er­
rors in the above. It was the
Japanese navy, not the air force, that
bombed Pearl Harbor. And it was the
442nd Regimental Combat Team,
made up of three battalions (in­
cluding the 100th that performed so
heroically before the 442nd arrived),
that distinguished itself in combat.
The book was copyrighted in 1988
but it carries no mention of President
Reagan signing the Redress Bill, nor
of the federal commission's finding
that the Evacuation was a gross in­
justice. Nor does it raise the issue of
the Evacuation's constitutionality.
How were other historical events
treated? In the section oh world,
history Holocaust gets 8 lines, Adolf
Hitler gets 16, and Nazis get 40. If
wer are indeed but a footnote in the
long, long span of history, at least
there's a lesson in all this. Brief
references are important but their
superficiality can be dangerous. To
really understand and appreciate a
situation, one needs to probe into
the details.

KOBE — Mogurin, Japan's first submarine for
