Extraordinary instruments created by Masa Inokuchi gaining
recognition in orchestras across the country
By Kasey Oyama
Canada is about to discover a
world-class violin-maker. He is
Masa Inokuchi who makes his
instrruments from Ontario maple
and British Columbian spruce
because he believes they are bet­
ter than anything from the tradi­
tional sources in Europe. After
thirty years of struggle, thay
dream is about to come true. In­
okuchi's instruments are gaining
rapid recognition among Cana­
dian artists.
Each time his instrument -cello, violin, or viola — is tried
out by a professional musician,
there is disbelief that such ex­
traordinary instruments are be­
ing made today, and from a
relatively unknown.
It is only in the past three
years that Masa Inokuchi feels
- he has mastered his craft. His
instruments have improved
steadily, and today, he is confi­
dent he can consistently turn
out top quality instruments.
Backing him is his son Miki,
who has also gambled his future
on the eventual sucess of the In­
okuchi instruments.
Masa Inokuchi was featured
recently in Frank Jones' column
in the November 30th issue of
the Toronto Star. The columnist
got his lead for the story from
Dr. Toyomasa Fuse, a sociolo­
gy professor at York University
and an author of several books
in Japanese as well as English.
It is hard to deny that fate
played a part in bringing invalu­
able friends and mentors like vi­
olinist Gerald Kantarjian and
cellist Vladimir Orloff to guide
Masa Inokuchi’s craft.

Masa Inokuchi's violins, which take a year to make, are appearing in prominent orchestras across the
country.

The meeting lead to the estab­

ing friendship. Without either
one being aware, it had devel­
oped into a symbiotic relation­
ship which is bringing new life
to the career of the cellist, back
to the prominence of the cellist

Academy, while Inokuchi ac­

Kantarian held master classes

ber music playing. He is a mem­
ber of the Rembrandt Trio,
which is rapidly gaining interna­
tional fame. The trio has a date
for their third record, and an Eu­
ropean tour is also in its plans.
There is a tendency for musi­
cians who acquire an Inokuchi
instrument to become Inoku­
chi's friend.
Mark Fujino is a nisei who
teaches violin in Burlington.
The effectiveness of his teaching
may be gathered from the fact
that his two daughters are mem­
bers of the top symphony or­
chestras in Canada.
Older daughter Carol plays an
Inokuchi violin with the TorontoSymphony. Younger daughter
Mary has been accepted as a
member of the Montreal Sym­
phony. And father Mark is wait­
ing for his violin now being
made to his wishes by Masa In­
okuchi.
The list of artists using the In­
okuchi instrument is growing.
Vakov Milkis, co-concert master
of the Toronto Symphony is try­
ing out an Inokuchi violin. Con­
cert master Edward Minevitch of
the Kitchener Symphony has an
Inokuchi violin. Robert Misky
of Toronto's Phantom of the
Opera orchestra plays his Inoku­
chi violin.
The latest owner of an Inoku­
chi cello is Igor Gefter, this
year's first prize winner in the
Canadian Music Competition for
17 years and under. Still contin­
uing his music studies, he cur­
rently plays in the Toronto Uni­

TORONTO.- Violin maker
Masa Inokuchi feels it is
about time to introduce his in­
struments outside the Toronto
region.
There is good basis for his
confidence. His instruments
have been played and have
won the approval of interna­
tionally famous musicians cellist Janos Starker, cellist
Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, violinist
Franc Gulli, and viola player
Abraham Skemick.
Tsutsumi, was requested to
try out an Inokuchi cello dur­
ing a rehearsal for his appear­
ance in this year's Nikka
Times comcert series. The
cellist showed unusal interest
in the cello and played
through the entire Kodaly cel­
lo sonata.
On a recent trip to Montreal,
Inokuchi's instruments were
highly praised by prestigious
musicians for its superior
quality and relatively low
cost.

Toyo tire with­
draws ads
claiming best
performance
By Carrie Mishima
RICHMOND, B.C. - A
Richmond tire company has
agreed to abandon advertising
claims about its radial tires.
Toyo Tire Canada Inc. has
agreed to several undertakings
to resolve allegations by the fed­
eral competition bureau that ads
placed in various Canadian
newspapers in June 1989 creat­
ed a false and misleading im­
pression.
The matter was resolved out
of court and no charges were
laid, competition bureau officer
Pierre Chapdelaine said Wed­
nesday.
The company has undertaken
not to repeat the ads, which
claimed "the best performance
rating in snow" for its Toyo 800
radial tires, according to the
agreement document.
The company also agreed not
to use performance claims for its
tires in future advertisements
unless an adequate and proper
test has been performed.
It also agreed to publish a cor­
rective notice in the national edi­
tion of the Toronto Globe and
Mail advising that some of its
performance claims "have raised
question under...the Competi­
tion Act." The first of these ads
appeared Wednesday.
The company will also insti­
tute a formal policy to ensure an
"executive review" of advertise­
ments.
Company officials in Rich­
mond were unavailable to com­
ment on the case.
Chapdelaine said that under
the misleading advertising pro­
vision of the Competition Act,
an advertiser must have ade­
quate and proper tests conducted
to support claims made in ads.
"The company had done some
testing, but it was not sufficient
to (prove) the extent of their
claim." he said.
The company had no record of
previous charges against it, he
added.
In agreeing to the undertak­
ings, Toyo Tire does not admit
guilt in the matter.

News from Japan
Farmers beef about
Monjiro semen fraud
TOKYO (AEN), - If Japanese cows could think, they'd
be scratching their heads these
days wondering where they
came from.
Beef production in a major
cattle-raising area near Tokyo
have been chagrined to learn that
the pedigree of their baby calves
might not be as blue-blooded as
they thought.
Fifty questionable calves were
recently given blood tests in
Tochigi Prefecture after doubts
were voiced over their certified
elite parentage.
x.
Their owners believed they
were all sired by Monjiro, a re­
nowned 10-year-old breeding
bull whose semen has produced
some 42,000 prize Japanese
calves of the "wagyu" breed
across the nation.
Of the 50 calves tested, how­
ever, only 5 would be proved to
be the real thing, a Tochigi Pre­
fectural official said.
Newspaper reports says there
could be 600 "fake" Monjiro
calves in Tochigi Prefecture
alone. Tochigi farmers raise
40,000 head of "wagyu" out of
a total of 1.4 million in Japan.
A Tochigi-based worker who
goes from farrn to farm insemi­
nating cows is being investigat­
ed. for possible fraud involving
Monjiro's semen, the official
said.
Mighty Monjiro's siring tal­
ents are reputed to be among the
best in the business. The result
speak for themselves: Most of
his calves grow up big and fatflecked, just what the Japanese
consumer looks for in his
"wagyu" beef.
One-third of Japan's beef mar­
ket is taken up by the fatmarbled meat of the pampered
"wagyu" cattle. "Wagyu" beef
costs twice to 10 times as much
as lower-grade meat.
Although they know fatflecked beef is full of choleste­
rol, they prefer it to lean red
beef. On average, a Japanese
eats only six kilograms (13

pounds) of beef a year, one-fifth
of the figure for the United
States or Australia.
To produce premium-quality
"wagyu", farmers raise a few
head at a time in a small pen
where they are cosseted, fed on
grain, sometimes washed down
with beer and, in a few special
cases, massaged with plum
wine.
Producers agree, however,
that it takes more than just an
ideal environment to produce the
perfect "wagyu". You need
good blood too.
"There are sperm, and there
are sperm," said a breeder in

Gaijin flock to counselling service
TOKYO.- Foreigners and

from the Tokyo Metropolitan
Government's counselling of-

The report, which converts the

Nearly 12,000 people, from

Arranged marriages decline as more seek romance
By Yoshikazu Iino
TOKYO (AEN). - Toshio
hadn't any luck finding a bride
so he put his faith in the tradi­
tional Japanese system of
"omiai" - after all, it guarantees
introductions to plenty of eligi­
ble women.
Pretty soon, he recalls, he
found himself trapped on the
fast track to a marriage he didn't
want.
The 35-year-old Tokyo office
worker had failed to meet Miss
Right in the course of his daily
life. So, as thousands of Japa­
nese do, he resorted to "omiai,"
which translates as "seeing each
other," in which a go-between
arranges meetings between sin­
gle souls in search of a spouse.
"Relatives making wedding
plans went too fast for my feel­
ings," said Toshio (not his real
name). "On the eve of the wed­
ding, I told myself: T want to
stop this.'"
The wedding went ahead, but
the marriage broke up shortly
afterward. The six months be­
tween the first meeting and the
exchange of vows was not long
enough for them to get to know
each other well, Toshio said.
A 1987 survey by the Health
and Welfare Ministry found that

more than one in five Japanese
marriages were still arranged,
with the average brokered
couple taking the plunge after
just five months.
An agony columnist in a
women's magazine recently told
a reader who had inquired about
"omiai" protocol that she should
be able to decide on a man's
suitability within three dates.
Before their first meeting,
prospective brides and grooms
must agree to the encounter after
being "introduced" to each other
with photographs and personal
datasheets.
Data usually indude academic
background, jfrb, height,
weight, hobbies and sometimes
even where family members
work and went to school.
"I saw nearly 150 sets of pho­
tos and data sheets and ended up
meeting about 50 women," To­
shio said. "I was popular be­
cause I was a so-called 'three
highs'man."
If a man is tall, well paid and
has a good academic back­
ground, he fits the "three highs"
bill, explained the 1.8-metre
Tokyo University graduate.
A matchmaking counselor said
many women hoped for a hus­
band of at least 1.7-metre tall

with a university degree and an
annual salary of at least 4 mil­
lion yen.
They also prefer second or
youngest sons. In Japan, a first
son usually inherits his father's
assets but his wife is most likely
to bear the burden of caring for
his aging parents.
"At 'omiai,' the women's side
never fails to establish whether a
man is the first son or not," To­
shio said.
As well as having the "three
highs," Toshio is a second son.

days a week with two assistants
on duty all times, while counsel
in the other language is limited
to one day of the week.
Japanese accounted for 16.9
percent of the inquiries during
the first quartet of 1991, many
with questions concerning trou­
bles with foreigners.
The number of Japanese who
have taken advantage of the
counselling service have been
increasing consistently in the
past three years.
The report noted that the in­
quiries have been spannig a
wider of issues and problems
than in the past.
In particular, traffic accident
consultations have increased.
One Taiwanese woman, who
wanted to familiarize her two
children with Japanese society,
asked for advice on kindergarten
enrollment.
' In another case, a local volun­
teer group wanted advice con­
cerning the cremation of a for­
eigner who was found dead on a
roadside.
The report indicates, also, that
many of the inquiries on hous­
ing involve the foreign tenant
and the landlord, and that differ­
ent understandings of daily life
and different customs are many
times the root of the problems.
The increase in complaints
from Japanese, the report says,

It's no go for the nog when the
eggs and milk are gone
By Eve Johnson
We already have soy wieners,
soy burgers, soy frozen desserts
and soy milk.
Soy egg nog was inevitable.
The only question was when?
The answer came a few weeks
ago from Sunrise Tofu, the self­
proclaimed "great tofu maker"
on Powell Street.
Noel Nog is Sunrise's latest
entry into the beverage market:
an egg-free, milk-free drink
made from organic soy beans.
It is coloured with tumeric,
sweetened with honey, fla­
voured with something called
"spice oil blend," and thickened
with locust bean gum, carragee­
nan and guar gum.
Noel Nog is low in fat and
contains no cholesterol. In a
180-ml serving, there's 36 of a
gram of fat, 117 milligrams of
sodium and 7 grams of protein.
So how does it taste?
Diane Jang, marketing coordi­
nator for Sunrise, says "We
tested Noel Nog in a trade show
and the response was 95 percent
positive." "People who are
looking for a nutritional egg nog
find this acceptable."
We took Noel Nog to a meet­
ing of The Vancouver Sun's
features section for a blind test­
ing, With Dairyland's standard
egg nog for comparison, our
testers knew them as nog one
and nog two.

Back came ihe test sheets. Out
of 11 testers, all but one gave it
zero out of six for a taste. The
11th person gave one point.
The comments were scathing
"No way." "Terrible, nutmeg
chemical taste." "Muddy."
"Disgusting 'health' taste."
"Aerated Kaopectate? A stale
McDonald's milk-shake?"
(Dairyland's egg nog wasn't
exactly a hit either. ’’May be

wrote one tester. For flavour, it
scored 38 out of a possible 66
points.)
And then there was Nicholas
Read, writer of the Ark column
which runs in The Sun on Fri­
days and advocated of all things
kind to animals.
"It's ethical egg nog, isn't it?"
he wrote on his test sheet. "So I
would but it. There are bigger
issue than taste."
Well, yes there are.

New and renowned videos
introducing tourism in Japan

T ravel

Experience the thrill of
F-1 racing first hand
Formula-one racing has long
been the "king" of international
auto racing. But with the recent
rise of both drivers and automo­
biles from Japan, its popularity
has sky-rocketed in Japan.
Though most fans are content to
simply watch F-l races, some
are discovering that the real thrill
is found behind the wheel; of a
high speed vehicle.
This is the thrill you can find
at the Formula Club in Tokyo,
and in a "mini F-l" look alike,
too. All you need is a valid driv­
er's license. While; the Club
does not offer the excitement of
racing against another car, to

simply drive around a profes­
sional track is thrill-enough.
However, each driver does
compete by checking their times
and speeds after they have com­
pleted the five rounds of the 550
metre circuit. The amximum
speed for this course of sharp
twists and sweeping turns is 60
km/h. These 340 cc engines are
capable of producing speeds of
up to 120 km/h on a sfraightaway. Male, female, young in
body or in spirit- everyone is
catching "F-l fever", and busi­
ness is booming at the Formula
Club.

TORONTO.- The Japan Na­
tional Tourist Organization has
its own film library for travel
agencies, tour wholesalers, and
general public to promoto their
products, to understand Japan
and to introduce tourism to Japan. JNTO has. converted many
of its films into videos (VHS) as
well as produced new ones. Local governments, tourism offices and convention bureaus have
also created videos to introduce
itheir home prefectures, cities
and facilities. This is a list of
videos available from the JNTO
- Toronto which you can request
to borrow for up to two weeks.
JNTO videos introducing general aspect of Japan and Japanese,
culture:

Karaoke, joining the ranks of
Japanese exported products
Bars, homes and especially
cherry blossom parties have
been equipped with karaoke machines for many years in Japan,
But "karaoke" is now a familiar
word to people around the
world. It may not be an exaggeration to say that "millions" of
amateur singers are taking to the
art of vocalizing their favourite
pop songs to the melody of pre­
recorded backup music.
Every salaryman, every
housewife, every student and
even every politician has a favourite pop song to sing, and all

Page E-7

of this adds up to a very large
and lucrative industry in Japan,
Karaoke magazines have a
large and growing number of
readers who wish to keep up
with the most recent issues of
tape or CD selections, as well as
the latest karaoke technology.
Word has it that there are now
karaoke sets which "enhance"
the singer's voice. (Maybe
they'll produce a machine that
can lip-synch next!?) For those
who would like to improve their
singing and showmanship, there
are karaoke calsses with quali-

fied instructors. How many su
perstars will emerge from these
singing classes in the future?
Karaoke might be fun, but
there are some very novel, but
serious uses being discovered,
too. Take for example a small
number of hospitals which uses
karaoke as a tool for speech
therapy. Where ever you find a
karaoke macine you will also
find an eager group awaiting
their turn. Not every voice
brings images of angels, but
have angels ever had such fun!

Nomura’s talent as an actress
and the clear beauty and range of
her voice quickly recognized,
she was subsequently assigned
to numerous musical roles, in­
cluding Maria in "West Side
Story" and both the characters
Diana and Maggie in "A Chorus
Line," as well as parts in straight
plays over the next eight years.
But being cast as Ri Koran was
very special indeed.
Nomura watched as many old
films of Ri Koran singing as she
could: She also brushed up on
her knowledge of the period.
But then she realized that re­
learning what she had learned
was not enough. She had to
clarify all the misrepresentations
in textbooks and really dig to
find the truth. Nomura also de­
cided she should try to find peo­
ple who had known Ri Koran
and talk to them.
Finally, Shiki asked Yamaguchi whether she would help No­
mura rehearse her songs.
Though in retirement, the former
star agreed.
"We met several times in one
of Shiki's studios," the young
actress recalled. "She tried to
help me recreate the sound of a
Chinese instrument, the kokyu,
that had made her voice so
unique. She also helped me with
my Chinese pronounciation."
"Most of the older people who
came to see 'Ri Koran’ feel a
great nostalgia since it revives
bitter painful memories," Nomu­
ra reflected. "’Yes,' they say to
me, 'it was exactly like that.'
Younger people are generally
very shocked. There is rarely
any spontaneous reaction during
a show. I think people are
stunned to a great depth..."
