‘Ohana Festival
Dear JCCH ‘Ohana,<br />
Hau‘oli Makahiki Hou!<br />
I hope you had a wonderful<br />
holiday season and have<br />
made several meaningful<br />
resolutions f<strong>or</strong> 2011<br />
including one related to<br />
appreciation f<strong>or</strong> culture<br />
and the arts. One of my<br />
resolutions is to not only<br />
seek out the beautiful shodo -<br />
(<strong>Japanese</strong> calligraphy) that<br />
surrounds us but also take<br />
the time to inquire about<br />
the meaning. I hope you will<br />
consider doing the same!<br />
In the Cultural Center<br />
office behind the receptionist’s<br />
desk is a framed<br />
shodo - of four kanji (Chinese<br />
characters used in <strong>Japanese</strong><br />
writing). You may have noticed it but, unless you can<br />
read kanji you would not know its meaning. It has a<br />
lovely translation which I’d like to share and I hope<br />
that the next time you visit, you will take a moment to<br />
admire this masterful shodo - .<br />
Minako Song, a long time volunteer in our Resource<br />
Center, kindly provided a translation. The four kanji<br />
read “Peace, Face, Love, W<strong>or</strong>ds.” We, your Cultural<br />
Center staff, have resolved to make this our customer<br />
service goal - to serve each other and every visit<strong>or</strong><br />
with a peaceful face and loving w<strong>or</strong>ds. Our staff and<br />
volunteers wish to make everyone’s visit to the center<br />
a pleasant and rewarding one.<br />
Aloha!<br />

Shinnen Akemashite Omedetō Gozaimasu<br />
(congratulations on the opening of the<br />
New Year)! 2011 celebrates the Year of<br />
the Rabbit which officially begins on<br />
February 3. Three w<strong>or</strong>ds can describe<br />
the Rabbit: calm, gentle, and persistent.<br />
People b<strong>or</strong>n under the sign of the Rabbit are reasonably<br />
friendly individuals, but also need their own space. They<br />
also enjoy being in the company of good friends. My<br />
younger son Aden was b<strong>or</strong>n in the year of the Rabbit and<br />
exemplifies all of these traits.<br />
2011 is likely to be a relatively calmer year over 2010.<br />
Shrewd and active new business partnerships will be<br />
f<strong>or</strong>med to benefit everyone. One such partnership is<br />
with Hawai‘i’s own, Hawaiian Airlines. I was f<strong>or</strong>tunate to<br />
represent all of you on the inaugural flight to and from<br />
Haneda International Airp<strong>or</strong>t in Tokyo. It was a whirlwind<br />
24 hours which started in Honolulu on November 17. As<br />
your chairman, I spoke about the long standing relationship<br />
between Japan and Hawai‘i and how our Cultural Center<br />
has played an integral part of solidifying this imp<strong>or</strong>tant<br />
relationship. This year marks the 125th anniversary of<br />
the Kanyaku Imin and <strong>Japanese</strong> immigration. My greatgrandfather<br />
Kosaburo Nakamura along with his wife<br />
Ie, were part of the first group who traveled to Hawai‘i<br />
in search of a new life. Four generations later, neither<br />
Kosaburo n<strong>or</strong> the other thousands of immigrants could<br />
have imagined that a local airline would make hist<strong>or</strong>y by<br />
becoming the first U.S. carrier to fly to Haneda.<br />
During our brief visit to Tokyo, we visited some of Japan’s<br />
treasures including Tsukiji Market, Asakusa and its temples,<br />
and the famous Ameya Yokocho. Our group included past<br />
board chairman Colbert Matsumoto, Jeffery Watanabe,<br />
and Chuck and Cheryl Furuya. We toured and walked f<strong>or</strong><br />
hours, getting a first hand glimpse of Japan’s vibrant culture.<br />
Of course, the visit wouldn’t be complete without eating<br />
fresh sushi and sashimi from Tsukiji Market as well as<br />
w<strong>or</strong>ld class soba and ramen in Ameya Yokocho! Mahalo<br />
to Hawaiian Airlines f<strong>or</strong> your friendship and supp<strong>or</strong>t of<br />
the Cultural Center this past year!<br />
2011 promises to be an exciting year f<strong>or</strong> your Cultural<br />
Center beginning with our annual New Year’s ‘Ohana<br />
Festival on Sunday, January 9. We are also planning a<br />
special Celebration of Leadership and Achievement<br />
Dinner this year on Saturday, July 23. I hope to see you<br />
at this year’s special event which will once again be held<br />
at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Res<strong>or</strong>t & Spa in the<br />
Tapa Ballroom.<br />
On behalf of your board of direct<strong>or</strong>s, Happy New Year<br />
and we look f<strong>or</strong>ward to serving all of you in 2011.<br />
Aloha,<br />

Akemashite omedetō gozaimasu! (Happy<br />
New Year!) 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit<br />
(usagi), and here at the Cultural Center<br />
we are hopping into the New Year with<br />
many exciting plans including our always<br />
popular New Year’s ‘Ohana Festival as<br />
well as our first ever Volunteer Shinnenkai<br />
(New Year’s party) in January, a<br />
pilgrimage to the <strong>Honouliuli</strong><br />
internment site in February f<strong>or</strong> Day of<br />
Remembrance, and a two-day Children’s<br />
Cultural Day Camp in March. Thank<br />
you to all of the volunteers that<br />
are w<strong>or</strong>king hard on the planning<br />
committees f<strong>or</strong> these events!<br />
In Japan, the New Year begins f<strong>or</strong> many<br />
at midnight, as people visit their local<br />
shrine <strong>or</strong> temple f<strong>or</strong> hatsumōde, the<br />
first visit of the year. Ironically, I felt<br />
less <strong>Japanese</strong> my first New Year’s living<br />
in Japan than I do at home in Hawai‘i<br />
because since high school I have joined<br />
my two best friends’ families at the<br />
stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve<br />
to eat soba (buckwheat noodles) and<br />
on New Year’s Day f<strong>or</strong> osechi ryōri<br />

Last November, I had the privilege<br />
of atten ding the 6th annual Bridge of<br />

amazing Cultural Center volunteers as<br />
I fondly say farewell. As many of you<br />

The Cultural Center<br />
is excited to present<br />
an exhibition<br />
of various w<strong>or</strong>k<br />
from the Hawaii<br />
Potters’ Guild (HPG)<br />
from January 22<br />
through February 18. Inspired by Japan:<br />
Hawaii Potters’ Guild Recent W<strong>or</strong>k will<br />
feature ceramics from local artists who<br />
looked to Japan and <strong>Japanese</strong> culture<br />
f<strong>or</strong> their inspiration and design ideas.<br />
It will be the fourth annual exhibition<br />

Foundation, of which the Cultural Center<br />
is extremely grateful.<br />
The HPG, a 501(c)3, began in 1967<br />
in Mō‘ili‘ili behind the Church of the<br />
Crossroads. Over the past 40 years, it<br />
has provided a place f<strong>or</strong> many people<br />
to learn about ceramics. In 2004,<br />
HPG renovated its facility and greatly<br />
expanded its class offerings. It is now<br />
open year round and has approximately<br />
140 people enrolled either as students<br />
<strong>or</strong> members. It is an all volunteer studio,<br />
except f<strong>or</strong> instruct<strong>or</strong>s, with all the glaze<br />
making, firing, and studio maintenance<br />
done by the attendees. The HPG is a<br />
place where people from all different<br />
walks of life can gather to share their<br />
love and enthusiasm f<strong>or</strong> ceramics. The<br />
friendly and supp<strong>or</strong>tive atmosphere help<br />
beginners quickly feel at home and able<br />
to learn the intricacies of the ceramic art.<br />
This exhibition follows our successful<br />
firsttime sale with the HPG, which was<br />
held in the Community<br />
Gallery from late<br />
November through<br />
early January.

<strong>Hist<strong>or</strong>ic</strong>al gallery Connection<br />
his was one of the best field trips we have taken!” was the<br />
enthusiastic comment of Spencer Harris, Makaha Elementary<br />
School teacher.<br />
On October 28, the second graders of Makaha Elementary experi enced a first f<strong>or</strong><br />
the Cultural Center. The usual gallery rule of “no touching” was changed and the<br />
students learned through a handson expl<strong>or</strong>ation of hist<strong>or</strong>ical objects and other<br />
primary source material. The activity created m<strong>or</strong>e meaningful understandings<br />
about the lives of the <strong>Japanese</strong> plantation w<strong>or</strong>kers.<br />
With the intent to enrich and strengthen the tour, docents Valerie Okihara and<br />
Linda Camp engaged the students in a multisens<strong>or</strong>y experience with select<br />
artifacts such as the: bento bako (lunch box), ko - ri, (<strong>Japanese</strong> trunk/suitcase),<br />
kimono, irons, wash boards, kine (wooden mochi pounder) and m<strong>or</strong>e.<br />
The new handson tour, followed by the Discovery Box presenta tion and mini<br />
bon dance lesson addressed Department of Education Social Studies and Science<br />
benchmarks f<strong>or</strong> these students. Makaha was the first of seven elementary schools<br />
from the Leeward Coast and seven schools in the Kalihi area to experience the<br />
benefits of the Sidney Stern Mem<strong>or</strong>ial Trust grant received by the Cultural Center.<br />
The grant serves to cover the transp<strong>or</strong>tation costs of Title I schools. Admission<br />
to Okage Sama De and the Discovery Box presentations are waived by the<br />
Cultural Center.<br />

The staff of the Cultural Center got in<br />
touch with their artistic side to create<br />
a piece f<strong>or</strong> Ryuho Hamano’s upcoming<br />
show in Toyohashi City in Japan.<br />
Hamano’s exhibit 125 Years in Hawai‘i:<br />
A Calligraphy Exhibition by Ryuho Hamano<br />
will be featured in Toyohashi this month.<br />
125 Years was featured in the Cultural<br />
Center Community Gallery last summer.<br />
Hamano returned to Hawai‘i in December<br />
and asked the Cultural Center staff to<br />
write their names on a large white<br />
cloth to also be displayed with the 125<br />
Years exhibition as a way to showcase<br />
calligraphy w<strong>or</strong>k of people from Hawai‘i.<br />

Shichi go San:<br />
Keiki Kimono dressing<br />
November 14<br />
This year’s Shichi Go<br />
San festival welcomed<br />
m<strong>or</strong>e than 90 children<br />
that signed up f<strong>or</strong> a<br />
f<strong>or</strong>mal kimono dressing<br />
by Masako F<strong>or</strong>mals, a<br />
special Shintō blessing<br />
from Izumo Taishakyo<br />
Mission of Hawaii, and<br />
professional p<strong>or</strong>traits by<br />
King Photo Service to help<br />
commem<strong>or</strong>ate the event.<br />
Shichi Go San, literally translated as “seven, five,<br />
three,” stems from the Meiji Era (18681912) when<br />
parents brought their kimonoclad children—girls,<br />
ages three and seven; and boys, ages three and<br />
five—to Shintō shrines and prayed f<strong>or</strong> their children<br />
to have long and prosperous lives. Today, this<br />
comingofage custom has evolved to encompass all<br />
children regardless of their age.<br />
This year, the Cultural Center created a mini Gift<br />
Shop which turned out to be a big hit with children,<br />
parents, and grandparents. We were also pleased to<br />
have the services of Noevir, who volunteered their<br />
time to provide an optional makeup application f<strong>or</strong><br />
the girls at no extra charge.<br />
We would like to thank the volunteers from Kaiser<br />
High School <strong>Japanese</strong> Club and members of the<br />
University of Hawai‘i Fish Scholarship group f<strong>or</strong> their<br />
help that day.<br />
This festival is made possible in large part through<br />
a generous grant from the Hawai‘i Tourism<br />
Auth<strong>or</strong>ity—City and County of Honolulu County<br />
