NAJC President Art Miki's address at $1,150,000 presentation
The following is an address given by NAJC President Art Miki at the
$1,150,000 cheque presentation ceremony held at Toronto's Prince Hotel
on June 9th, 1990:
As the president of the National Association of Japanese Canadians,
I am pleased to announce that the first major capital project to be funded
by the Japanese Canadian Redress Foundation, and its community de­
velopment program, will be the Momiji Health Care Society's Metropoli­
tan Toronto Seniors' Housing and Health Care Centre.
I wish to take this opportunity to remind our community and all Cana­
dians, that this announcement is tangible evidence that Redress has been
served to Japanese Canadians, and that Redress for Japanese Canadians
is a reality. The people of Canada, through our government, have dis­

played their courage to right a wrong carried out some 48 years ago. The
wrong in 1942, of seizing and disposing of our properties* and of forcibly

relocating all Canadian citizens of Japanese ancestry out of the restricted
zone along Canada's west coast. The wrong of systematically stripping
our citizens of their constitutional rights and freedoms, simply because
they were Canadians of Japanese ancestry. The last of these restrictions
were removed on April 1,1949 when we were allowed the freedom to move
anywhere in Canada, including the restricted zone.
As symbolic redress for these injustices, the Canadian government
offered $12 million to the Japanese Canadian community, through the
National Association of Japanese Canadians, to undertake educational,

“akusento”
By BILL HOSOKAWA
Broadly speaking, the
Japanese have a difficult
time with spoken English.
But they have an amazing
knack for adapting English
words and phrases into ex­
pressions that, while they
may not be true to original
meanings, fit their contemporary lifestyle.
One
w.e I I known ex­
ample is
the word
“mansion,”
which in
English
means an
opulent
house. In Japan a manshon is
an apartment just a notch
more luxurious than an
apahto, which is a dinky little
unit in an apartment building.
(My friend Lee Chia recalls
being asked the difference
between a Tokyo manshon
and an apahto. His reply: “In
a manshon, one does not
hang laundry out the window
to dry.”)

JC Redress Foundation
presents $1,150,000 to
Momiji Health Care
TORONTO. — A giant cheque, in content and physically,
of $1,150,000 was presented by President Art Miki of the NAJC
to Dr. Roy Shinobu, vice-chairman of the Momiji Health Care
Society at a press conference at the Prince Hotel on June 9th.
It is the largest grant to date from the Japanese Canadian
Redress Foundation. The recipient, the Momiji Health Care
Society, is building the first Seniors' Apartment Housing and
Health Care facility for Japanese Canadians in Toronto, at a
cost of $23 million dollars. Over 50 persons were present at
the gathering.

WINNIPEG-A 13-year-old
boy convicted last November
of the brutal stabbing of Kiyo
Shimizu, 86, and her daughter
Cheiko, 59, has been aquitted
by Manitoba's highest court
recently.
The Manitoba Court of Ap­
peal ruled there was insuffi­
cient evidence to convict the
boy, who had been sentenced
to three years in prison — the
maximum under the Young
Offenders Act. Under the Act,
he cannot be named.
The boy, who was 12 at the
time of the July 1989 killings,
was found by police in the
home of the murdered wo­
men, one of whom managed
to phone police. Chieko died
that night, Kiyo five days
later.
When police arrived, they
found the boy, his clothes
and shoes stained with blood,
descending a staircase.
But none of this, by itself,
was enough to convict the
boy, said Justice Kerr Twad­
dle, writing for the threemember panel that heard the
appeal.
“The facts are consistent
with the conclusion that there
was another person with the
young offender, as (the boy)

suggested to police on (their)
arrival,” Twaddle wrote.
“That other person may well
have been the only person
responsible for the killings.”

LA Mayor intervenes
in alleged shoplifting
by Jpnz. politician
LOS ANGELES. — A Japanese city
official arrested for shoplifting at
Los Angeles International Airport
was released after Mayor Tom
Bradley contacted police, the Los
Angeles Times reported recently.
Yukio Umemura, chairman of the
Nagoya City Assembly, was arrested
April 14 on suspicion of taking two
Gucci wallets and a brown leather
purse valued at $450 from Duty Free
Shoppers Ltd., a duty-free airport gift
shop.
Umemura, who met and exchang­
ed gifts with the Mayor the day
before his arrest, was released and
the case dropped following a
meeting between Umemura, a senior
Bradley aide, two police sergeants
and officials of the gift shop, the

Times reported.

Japanese immigrant's son Fujimori wins presidency of Peru
LIMA, Peru. — A Peruvian
Nikkei is the new president
of Peru. Alberto Fujimori, a
son of Japanese immigrants,
racked-up almost 50 percent
of votes in a run-off election

He defeated celebrated
novelist Mario Vargas Llosa,
who had between 38 and 42
percent by last night.
At a triumphant news con­
ference two hours after the
polls closed, Fujimori prom­
ised to forge a government of
national unity and wipe out

the widespread corruption
that has plagued governments

here.
“We are not a traditional
political party. This is an au­
thentically independent move­
ment,” he said of Change 90,
the political organization cob­
bled together to support his
unorthodox campaign.
The election, held against
a backdrop of continued car
bombings by the Shining Path
guerrilla army, appears likely
to plunge the troubled South

American nation into a new
era of uncertainty.
Fujimori, an agricultural en­
gineer with no government ex­
perience, gave voters only a
vague idea of how he will
govern.
Instead, he capitalized on
the widespread fear of Vargas
Llosa, whose glitzy campaign,
bankrolled by the country's
right-wing parties, alarmed
Peruvians by announcing a
detailed free-market econo­
mic shock treatment.

Peru president

Fujimori also stirred a back­
lash among some supporters
of Vargas Llosa. They greeted
Fujimori's election surge by
gathering outside Vargas
Llosa's home chanting racist
slogans.
Racism also has been a
problem for some members
of Fujimori's family.
His
daughter, Keiko Sofia, was
recently denied entrance to
an ice-cream parlor in a
wealthy Lima suburb because
she looked Japanese.

TOKYO. — Ichiro Ozawa, a
senior politician said recently
that while his countrymen
had abused other nations'
kindness, Americans often
treated Japan with arrogance
and self-righteousness.

TOKYO. — Ryouei Saito,
the Japanese businessman,
who paid more than $160
million for a van Gogh and a
Renoir painting at sotheby's
New York art auction, said
that he was prepared to go
even higher to buy the pain­

tings.
Saito, whose family con­
trols Daishowa, Japan's se­
cond largest pulp and paper
maker and reputed to be the
32nd richest man in Japan —
said he told dealers to go as
high as $100 million for each
painting.
He told a TV interviewer
that “I am very happy. Once
you like something go all the

way.”
Asked about criticism that
his record bid would push up
price tags on masterpieces,
Saito said “I don't know. It.
depends on the time frame.

called an unacceptable pro­

Since I've been around the block a
few times I sometimes tend to forget
that I am still of a minority racial
group.
When you deal with a lot of dif­
ferent types of people, you forget
your own identity until some incident
shakes us back to reality.

J. Kashlno, L. Shimoda, S. Sasaki, A. Miyamoto

There are a lot of people out there
who are referred to as “red necks.”
I don't know how the term was
ever coined to mean people who are
racially biased, but there are a lOi
them out there.
Some are more obvious than
others.
It's the subtle ones who really
throws you a curve out of the blue.
For example, the other day I was
engaged in a conversation with a
Caucasian person when we got
around to discussing the new B-2
stealth bomber.
I'm not sure how we got on the
subject but he said, “hell, we don't
have to waste a lot of money prepar­
ing for war. Be like the Japanese.
They are winning the war by buying
up all the foreign countries.”

October 11 Departure

Of course, he regretted making the
remark when he suddenly realized
that I was of Japanese ancestry.
His face turned a little crimson and
he quickly tried to change the sub­
ject but I suddenly came to realize
that this chap, with whom I have
been socializing with for quite a
while now, was anti-Japanese.
During the past few weeks I found
a lot of people who are “red necks.”
I am not quite sure they have
become what they are because of the
economic threat of Japan or if they
have always harbored an anti­
Japanese sentiment, dating back to

WWII.
My personal feeling on the matter
is that I prefer that these people
come out of the closet and call me a
“stinky, rotten Jap,” right to my face
rather than smile and act like they
are friends while all the while harbor­
ing an intense dislike for people of
Japanese ancestry.
It's always easier to deal with
those you know who are your
enemies.

Spark Matsunaga's son
may run for U.S. House
HONOLULU — Matthew
Matsunaga, 31-year-old son
of the late Sen. Spark Matsu­
naga, is considering running
for the U.S. House of Rep­
resentatives’ this fall, accor­
ding to the Honolulu Adver­
tiser. “I'm considering it,’’
said the Honolulu lawyerwho
has never sought public of­
fice. “I really want to empha­
size I'm keeping my options
open and want to talk with my
family and friends before
making a decision.’’
At least one and probably
both of Hawaii's two U.S.
House seats will be up for
grabs, as incumbent Reps.

Daniel Akada (D-2nd Dist.,
Rural Oahu-Neighbor Island),
and Patricia Saiki (R-1st Dist.,
Urban Honolulu), are expect­
ed to vie for Matsunaga's
Senate seat. Matsunaga, a
Democrat, specializes in busi­
ness law with the firm of Carl­
smith, Wichman, Case, Mukai
and Ichiki. He and his wife,
Loretta, a city deputy prose­
cutor, live in Maunawili,
which is Akaka's district. But
there is no in-district residen­
cy requirement for Hawaii's
House seat, and Matsunaga
said he has not decided
which seat, if any, he would
seek.

Sony's electronic
book stores
many volumes
TOKYO. — Sony Corp., having
reshaped lifestyles by bringing por­
tability to recorded music and then
to video, has its sights set on
another medium — text.
At an exhibition of future
*■ technologies in Tokyo, the Japanese
consumer electronics firm unveiled a
prototype “electronic book,” a palm­
sized unit storing volumes of text
that can be read on a tiny liquid

crystal display.
Sony officials won't say when the
550 gram electronic book will be
sold, or how much it will cost.
But when the technology is ready,
perhaps in the mid-1990' s, the elec­
tronic book could become com­
monplace.
It will serve as a portable device
that can electronically serve up
voluminous sources of information
such as encyclopedias, Bibles or
telephone directories.

The new OMPP steers car
insurance in the right direction
Your automobile insurance is
changing. The new system is called the
Ontario Motorist Protection Plan

(OMPP).
You’re protected from skyrocketing
insurance premiums.
You’re protected by guaranteed
benefits, without going to court and

without delays.
Ontario needs this change.
There are more drivers on
Ontario’s roads. Accidents and injuries
are up. And so are lawsuits. The
amount paid by insurance companies
in Ontario in 1988 for bodily injury
claims was $1.8 billion. Of this,
hundreds of millions of dollars went to
legal fees and settlement costs - money
that never reached the victims.

Good news for good drivers.
Bad news for bad drivers.
The Ontario Motorist Protection
Plan is a balanced system.
The good news is, it puts
the brakes on insurance rate
increases. The new Plan will hold
premium increases this year to
only 8% on average in urban
areas, while average rates in rural
areas will not increase at all.
It makes more money
available for benefits by taking

claims out of the legal system. These
benefits will be paid quickly by your

insurance company.
For bad drivers there is bad news.
If you’re caught drinking and driving
or committing a criminal offence that
results in an accident, you will not
receive income benefits. More police
will be patrolling the highways. Fines
for speeding have been more than
doubled.
“Fault” is still very much a part of
the new system. Good drivers will get
better rates. Bad drivers are going to

PaY

Guaranteed benefits,
no stalling.
Under the Ontario Motorist
Protection Plan, you will continue to
deal with the insurance company you
have now. Your policy will

automatically be converted. If you
need additional benefits you can get
them directly from your own insurance

company.
Within 10 days of filing your
claim, cheques for income benefits will
begin to arrive. Within 30 days, money
to cover medical bills and therapy will
be sent. Part of the thinking behind
the OMPP is to get people back on
their feet faster, with better results.
And prompt compensation helps.
You don’t need to go to court. You
don’t need to wait years. And you don’t
lose your right to sue, if the accident
results in death or serious and
permanent injury.
The new Ontario Motorist
Protection Plan keeps car insurance
affordable. It speeds up guaranteed
benefits to accident victims.
That’s the right direction for car

The Ontario Motorist

Protection Plan.
Everyone’s protected

insurance.

Books found untrue to
Japan-Jewish history
By Bruce M. Ramer and
Neil C. Sandberg
SAN FRANCISCO. — Strain
resulting from the large-scale
publication of anti-Semitic books in
Japan has masked the historic
friendship of the Japanese and
Jewish peoples.
It was an American Jewish finan­
cier, Jacob Schiff, who aided Japan
by arranging major foreign loans dur­
ing the Russo-Japanese War. And
Japanese officials facilitated the
flow of Jewish refugees from Europe
in both World Wars I and II.
In order to finance its war effort
against czarist Russia, the Imperial
Japanese government sent Baron
Korekiyo Takahashi to the U.S. in
1904. Unable to negotiate a loan, he
enlisted the help of Jacob Schiff and
his banking firm, Kuhn, Loeb and Co.
Their support in securing a loan was
followed by additional loans in 1905
and 1912.
Japan considered Schiff a true
friend as he encouraged negotia­
tions with the Russians leading to
the Portsmouth Peace Treaty.
Emperor Meiji gave Mr. and Mrs.
Schiff a private audience and confer­
red high honors upon them. This
warm friendship continued as Baron
Takahashi's daughter, Wakiko,
spent nearly three years at the home
of the Schiffs while she was edu­
cated in New York.
Schiff and other leading American
Jews created the American Jewish
Committee in 1906 as a vehicle
through which protests could be
lodged against czarist persecution of
Russian Jews. In 1917 and thereafter,
the close association of Schiff and
other prominent Jews with the
Japanese government and financial
circles proved most valuable as large
numbers of Jewish refugees from
the Russian revolution arrived in
Japan.







The Hebrew Immigrant Society of
which Schiff was an important
member, was helped in its refugee
assistance work by T. Miyaoku, one
of Japan's most distinguished
lawyers, along with Baron Shimpei
Goto [1856-1929] of the Ministry for
Home Affairs and the wealthy Baron
Eiichi Shibusawa [1840-1931]. Japan
showed its continuing interest when
Count Yasuya Uchida [1865-1936],
Japan's foreign minister, instructed
Japanese troops in Siberia not to per­
mit any outrages against the Jews.
The flow of Jewish refugees
resumed as a consequence of the
Nazi conquest of Europe in World
War II. European ports were shut
tight, but the Trans-Siberian Railroad
offered some Jews access to Japan
and other parts of the world. Hitler's
plan to exterminate the Jewish peo­
ple led to the deaths of six million
Jews in the Nazi Holocaust, but
some escaped through the interven­
tion of sympathetic Japanese who
provided assistance at some per­
sonal risk.
One of these was Senpo Sugihara,
the Japanese consul in Kovno
(Kaunas), Lithuania, who was able to

secure visas from Curacao, a Dutch
possession, which did not require
entry visas. This compassionate per­
son issued thousands of such visas
in 1940 in a brief period of time. The
visa holders were authorized to re­
main in Japan for only seven to 10
days but, at the recommendation of
the local Jewish community,
Japanese officials extended the stay
from two to eight months. All told,
nearly 5,000 Jewish refugees were
aided in this process.
*
*
*

Friendship with the Jews was also
evidenced earlier when Japan
became one of the first nations to en­
dorse the [1917] Balfour Declaration
which called for the establishment of
a Jewish Homeland in Palestine. This
relationship was strengthened when
an Israeli legation opened in Tokyo in
1953, followed in 1958 with the
organization of a society for JapanIsrael friendship. One of its patrons
was Prince Mikasa, youngest brother
of Emperor Showa.
*
*
*
In light of these longstanding con­
nections between Japan and the
Jewish people, why, then, do we now
see in Japanese publicaitons mani­
festations of prejudice against the
Jews? The fact is that anti-Semitic
ideas have long been known in Japan
through such works as The Merchant
of Venice and the notorious Russian
forgery, “The Protocols of the Elders
of Zion,” And, more recently, scur­
rilous books have appeared seeking
to emphasize the absurd notion of a
Jewish conspiracy to conquer the
world.
In spite of these publications,
most Japanese have scant know­
ledge of the Jews, their history and
religion. Even well-educated
Japanese have limited information
about the Jewish experience as a
continuous and historical develop­
ment. Some Christian scholars and
historians are well-informed,
especially on the age of the Old
Testament, but few have knowledge
about Jewish history in the 1900
years since the destruction of the
Temple.
One of the underlying realities is
that there has been limited personal
contact between the Japanese and
Jewish people. There are little more
than a thousand Jews in all of Japan,
most of them foreigners living in
Tokyo. Although small in number,
they maintain religious and cultural
activities through the Jewish Com­
munity Center which is also
dedicated to promoting friendship
with the Japanese people. What have
been lacking are the vehicles through
which positive information about
Jews and Judaism could be made
available in Japan.
Today, we are seeing a new ap­
preciation of the Japanese-Jewish
relationship. Japan's Foreign
Ministry has issued a statement call­
ing on Japanese publishers to use
"common sense” on the question of
anti-Semitic books. Japan and Israel
are developing stronger bilateral
ties, and trade between the countries
is growing. And the print and elec­
tronic media are paying more atten­
tion to human rights questions, in­
cluding concern with anti-Semitism.
In turn, Jews and others in the U.S.
and elsewhere are assuming an
obligation to speak out against
“Japan-bashing,” especially when it
is rooted in racial slurs and miscon­
ceptions. Indeed, the American
Jewish Committee recently created a
Pacific Rim Institute dedicated to
combating mutual stereotyping and
improving relations between the U.S.
and Japan.
Those in Japan concerned with its
growing international role can play
an important part in assuring the
success of such efforts. The out­
come will affect us all.

TOKYO. — The government has
confirmed the deaths of an addi­
tional 11,929 victims of the atomic
bombings of August 1945, bringing
th official death toll to 295,956, the
Health and Welfare Ministry said.
The survey, conducted by the
ministry in 1985, was the first nation­
wide study of the bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Previous
counts had been done independently
by the two cities.
The local governments had con­
firmed about 285,000 deaths —
196,439 in Hiroshima and 87,588 in
Nagasaki — as of 1988. The ministry
discovered an additional 5,551
deaths in Hiroshima and 6,378 in
Nagasaki.

Books found untrue to
Japan-Jewish history
By Bruce M. Ramer and
Neil C. Sandberg
SAN FRANCISCO. — Strain
resulting from the large-scale
publication of anti-Semitic books in
Japan has masked the historic
friendship of the Japanese and
Jewish peoples.
It was an American Jewish finan­
cier, Jacob Schiff, who aided Japan
by arranging major foreign loans dur­
ing the Russo-Japanese War. And
Japanese officials facilitated the
flow of Jewish refugees from Europe
in both World Wars I and II.
In order to finance its war effort
against czarist Russia, the Imperial
Japanese government sent Baron
Korekiyo Takahashi to the U.S. in
1904. Unable to negotiate a loan, he
enlisted the help of Jacob Schiff and
his banking firm, Kuhn, Loeb and Co.
Their support in securing a loan was
followed by additional loans in 1905
and 1912.
Japan considered Schiff a true
friend as he encouraged negotia­
tions with the Russians leading to
the Portsmouth Peace Treaty.
Emperor Meiji gave Mr. and Mrs.
Schiff a private audience and confer­
red high honors upon them. This
warm friendship continued as Baron
Takahashi's daughter, Wakiko,
spent nearly three years at the home
of the Schiffs while she was edu­
cated in New York.
Schiff and other leading American
Jews created the American Jewish
Committee in 1906 as a vehicle
through which protests could be
lodged against czarist persecution of
Russian Jews. In 1917 and thereafter,
the close association of Schiff and
other prominent Jews with the
Japanese government and financial
circles proved most valuable as large
numbers of Jewish refugees from
the Russian revolution arrived in
Japan.






The Hebrew Immigrant Society of
which Schiff was an important
member, was helped in its refugee
assistance work by T. Miyaoku. one
of Japan's most distinguished
lawyers, along with Baron Shimpei
Goto [1856-1929] of the Ministry for
Home Affairs and the wealthy Baron
Eiichi Shibusawa [1840-1931]. Japan
showed its continuing interest when
Count Yasuya Uchida [1865-1936],
Japan's foreign minister, instructed
Japanese troops in Siberia not to per­
mit any outrages against the Jews.
The flow of Jewish refugees
resumed as a consequence of the
Nazi conquest of Europe in World
War II. European ports were shut
tight, but the Trans-Siberian Railroad
offered some Jews access to Japan
and other parts of the world. Hitler's
plan to exterminate the Jewish peo­
ple led to the deaths of six million
Jews in the Nazi Holocaust, but
some escaped through the interven­
tion of sympathetic Japanese who
provided assistance at some per­
sonal risk.
One of these was Senpo Sugihara,
the Japanese consul in Kovno
(Kaunas), Lithuania, who was able to

secure visas from Curacao, a Dutch
possession, which did not require
entry visas. This compassionate per­
son issued thousands of such visas
in 1940 in a brief period of time. The
visa holders were authorized to re­
main in Japan for only seven to 10
days but, at the recommendation of
the local Jewish community,
Japanese officials extended the stay
from two to eight months. All told,
nearly 5,000 Jewish refugees were
aided in this process.
*
*
*

Friendship with the Jews was also
evidenced earlier when Japan
became one of the first nations to en­
dorse the [1917] Balfour Declaration
which called for the establishment of
a Jewish Homeland in Palestine. This
relationship was strengthened when
an Israeli legation opened in Tokyo in
1953, followed in 1958 with the
organization of a society for JapanIsrael friendship. One of its patrons
was Prince Mikasa, youngest brother
of Emperor Showa.




In light of these longstanding con­
nections between Japan and the
Jewish people, why, then, do we now
see in Japanese publicaitons mani­
festations of prejudice against the
Jews? The fact is that anti-Semitic
ideas have long been known in Japan
through such works as The Merchant
of Venice and the notorious Russian
forgery, “The Protocols of the Elders
of Zion," And, more recently, scur­
rilous books have appeared seeking
to emphasize the absurd notion of a
Jewish conspiracy to conquer the
world.
In spite of these publications,
most Japanese have scant know­
ledge of the Jews, their history and
religion. Even well-educated
Japanese have limited information
about the Jewish experience as a
continuous and historical develop­
ment. Some Christian scholars and
historians are well-informed,
especially on the age of the Old
Testament, but few have knowledge
about Jewish history in the 1900
years since the destruction of the
Temple.
One of the underlying realities is
that there has been limited personal
contact between the Japanese and
Jewish people. There are little more
than a thousand Jews in all of Japan,
most of them foreigners living in
Tokyo. Although small in number,
they maintain religious and cultural
activities through the Jewish Com­
munity Center which is also
dedicated to promoting friendship
with the Japanese people. What have
been lacking are the vehicles through
which positive information about
Jews and Judaism could be made
available in Japan.
Today, we are seeing a new ap­
preciation of the Japanese-Jewish
relationship. Japan's Foreign
Ministry has issued a statement call­
ing on Japanese publishers to use
"common sense" on the question of
anti-Semitic books. Japan and Israel
are developing stronger bilateral
ties, and trade between the countries
is growing. And the print and elec­
tronic media are paying more atten­
tion to human rights questions, in­
cluding concern with anti-Semitism.
In turn, Jews and others in the U.S.
and elsewhere are assuming an
obligation to speak out against
"Japan-bashing," especially when it
is rooted in racial slurs and miscon­
ceptions. Indeed, the American
Jewish Committee recently created a
Pacific Rim Institute dedicated to
combating mutual stereotyping and
Improving relations between the U.S.
and Japan.
Those in Japan concerned with its
growing international role can play
an important part in assuring the
success of such efforts. The out­
come will affect us all.

TOKYO. — The government has
confirmed the deaths of an addi­
tional 11,929 victims of the atomic
bombings of August 1945, bringing
th official death toll to 295,956, the
Health and Welfare Ministry said.
The survey, conducted by the ministry in 1985, was the first nation­
wide study of the bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Previous
counts had been done independently
by the two cities.
The local governments had con­
firmed about 285,000 deaths —
196,439 in Hiroshima and 87,588 in
Nagasaki — as of 1988. The ministry
discovered an additional 5,551
deaths in Hiroshima and 6,378 in
Nagasaki.
