The Fort Worth Japanese Society Link in Amazon, Here’S an Easy Way to Help Us Get Some More Funds TheThe FortFort WorthWorth JapaneseJapanese SocietySociety July - August 2019 www.fwjs.org Our Mission: Foster understanding between Japanese and Americans by providing an opportunity to learn about Japan, it’s people, language and culture. LUNCHEON: TANABATA AND IZAKAYA Sunday July 21 from 12:30pm to 3:00pm at Yamagata Kaikan Our luncheon will celebrate the Japanese Tanabata Festival and we will set up “Izakaya-like” (small plates) food stations featuring festival foods like yakisoba, onigiri, chicken karaage, takoyaki, taiyaki and red bean ice cream. This festival is one of five festivals which customarily signal the changing of the seasons in Japan. Also known as the Star Festival, Tanabata has its origins in a Chinese festival and concerns the romantic legend between two (literally) star- crossed lovers, Princess Orihime the Weaver and Hikoboshi the Cowherd. We will have a “Kamishibai” presentation telling this story. We will also follow the Tanabata festival tradition of writing our wishes onto strips of paper and hanging them along with colorful decorations, on leafy stalks of bamboo. Adults $15, children 8-12 $12 and children 7 and under are free. There is a 20% discount for members aged 70 years and over. Please RSVP by Monday, July 15th to Harvey Yamagata at 817-737-9166 or email [email protected] or [email protected] Yakisoba Onigiri Taiyaki Takoyaki Chicken Karaage - 1 - SOCIETY NEWS – RECENT EVENTS Shinbokukai (dinner-get-together) at Wabi House On May 10th, over 20 of us met for our dinner get-together at Wabi House. This was our largest gathering for this event and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. The conversations were lively and the Wabi House food was excellent. May Luncheon – History of Japanese Americans in North Texas This luncheon was a special treat for the 76 of us who attended. Cori Hallock and David Bakutis presented their first of many videos featuring Japanese Americans who have settled in North Texas. The first interviewee was Al Komatsu. Most of us know of Al’s accomplished background, but it is always amazing to hear how well Al dealt with the harsh conditions of his unjust internment during World War II. After his release from internment, he completed his education and became a successful architect – many of his designs can be found throughout Fort Worth and Texas. Fumiko Coburn made much of our delicious Hiyashi Chuka Soba, and supervised all our other volunteers to make the soba a great success. Thank you Fumiko and all our volunteers – we know its quite a feat to serve over seventy hungry people. Al Komatsu with friend Claire Curry, daughter Sylvia Komatsu and Kenji Nishikawa June Luncheon – Travels in Japan We learned quite a bit about traveling in Japan from the very personal perspective of each of our speakers. Cori Hallock talked to us about her experience teaching in Japan and David Bakutis showed us the fun he and our other Dondoko Taiko drummers had when they visited Nagaoka, Fort Worth’s Sister City. Fumiko Coburn talked about the beauty and bounty of Hokkaido, Japan’s northern-most of the four main islands. Her view was expert since that is where she grew up. Harvey Yamagata then talked about his home region of Hiroshima as well as what it’s like to stay at a “ryokan,” a traditional Japanese style inn. Before the presentations, we feasted on the many delicacies brought by everyone as their potluck contribution to the meal. We were also treated to “kaki gori,” Japanese shaved ice, by Elishia Flowers and Sam Sumner and fresh strawberries prepared by Cori Hallock. UPCOMING EVENTS July Luncheon – Sun. July 21 from 12:30pm to 3:00pm at Yamagata Kaikan July will be our very popular “Izakaya” style luncheon with a variety of small plates. We’ll set up food stations serving popular foods like yakisoba, onigiri, chicken karaage, taiyaki and red bean ice cream. Adults $15, children 8-12 $12 and children 7 and under are free. There is a 20% discount for members aged 70 years and over. Please RSVP by Monday, July 15th to Harvey Yamagata at 817-737-9166 or email [email protected] or [email protected] August – Texas Ranger’s Japan America Friendship Game More information will be forthcoming, but the Texas Rangers will again have a game celebrating the friendship between Japan and America. There is no luncheon scheduled for August – it is our vacation month. September Luncheon – Sun Sept. 15th from 12:30pm to 3:00pm at Yamagata Kaikan For this luncheon we will celebrate “Keiro no Hi,” Japan’s special day set aside to honor the elderly. For food, we will once again have our popular obento. Volunteers will prepare the various foods that each of us will be able to place into obento boxes. This year, we will have two obento contests. One will be for the best obentos made using the food we will have prepared for everyone so it is a level playing field. Some of our members would like to bring in their own obento creation from home so that there are no restrictions – and we would all like to see these as well – so those who wish to bring in their entries, please do so. Adults $15, children 8-12 $12 and children 7 and under are free. There is a 20% discount for members aged 70 years and over.

A special “Thank you” to those of you who were able to make a donation along with your 2019 membership dues. As many of you know, our annual dues hardly covers our annual costs of operating our non-profit organization. We continue to believe having our building is key to our success because we are able to support our Japanese Language School, our monthly luncheons and other groups who use our facilities like Dondoko Taiko Drummers, Kurumi Ningyo crafts group, Japanese Classical Dancers, etc. The building means annual property taxes, raising utility costs, and the cost of maintenance. Despite our various events to produce additional income, we cannot exist without your generous donations. Thank you!

Tourists like to buy akafuku as a souvenir, but it should be enjoyed quickly, as it expires after only two days. I'm keeping this one a little under wraps for now but if you happen to come along on one of my tours it might be on the itinerary Next to the velvety base, it can also incorporate various additional ingredients such as sliced chestnuts or figs.

  • Exploring Asian Studies at Colgate and Beyond
    Asian Studies at Colgate Spring 2018 NEWSLETTER Exploring Asian Studies at Colgate and Beyond The Chinese character above, fú, is a powerful and proud cultural symbol. Posted in homes every year during Spring Festival wherever Chinese people are found, it means “good fortune,” but implies much more. Its presence brings positive, hopeful energy to the peoples and places around it. When posted upside-down, as in the images above, we can know that fú dào le: that its power has arrived and is among us. Pasted on or above doorways and gates, welcomes you in, to share as one family your hope for tomorrow, to make a better day for all. The Program in Asian Studies at Colgate stands in firm solidarity with all who oppose racism, discrimination, and xenophobia on our campus. We especially support international students from Asia, and everywhere around the world. These students enrich our campus, bringing with them the spirit of learning that pulls our world together. If you are concerned about our international community, and would like to contribute to making a better Colgate and a better world, please review the shared document “A Plea to the Community” composed by EALL Professor Yukari Hirata and take action. Let your stand and your story be known. 1 From the Director A great part of teaching at Colgate is the chance to travel for research, study groups, and planning new courses. While on leave last spring and autumn, I broke from my usual China orbit for first-time visits to Japan and Thailand. Though I wasn’t long in either place, it was long enough to reaffirm what our majors discover year aer year: that Asia is a diverse, yet deeply interconnected region whose complexity demands a plural, interdisciplinary approach.
