Dear Sensei-gata,

I hope you are now enjoying the warmer weather and looking forward to the end of the year when your year’s work comes to its conclusion.

In this issue of the newsletter please look out for new professional learning opportunities and some cultural events happening in your city. We also have a report on a very special event that happened in Tasmania in response to the tragedy that occurred in Japan in March.

In August I was asked to attend an information night for parents at an inde-pendent school in Geelong. The teachers organised a very impressive evening with guest speakers and many past students describing the positive impact of their language studies on their life and further studies. There was a very enthusiastic response by both parents and students with a huge turn out on a very cold and wet evening. To reinforce the information given on the night the teachers prepared a very comprehensive booklet outlining the benefits of and opportunities created by learning a language. The school has kindly allowed the MCJLE to use that booklet as the basis of a book that we will create on the benefits of learning Japanese that we will make available to all teachers of Japanese. The booklet will be available next year through our website. Congratulations to the language teachers at Christian College Gee-long for their commitment and dedication to the teaching of languages and community engagement.

Save the date: 5 and 6 July 2012 Inaugural National Conference for Teachers of Japanese To be held in Melbourne

I hope you all have a productive end to the year.

Every year students in Japanese classes around Australia fold cranes around August 6th, Hiroshima Day. However, do the students really appreciate what they are doing? They might know the story of Sadako and that there were bombings, but the impact of the loss and the inherent repetitious prayer of folding can be a little difficult to convey to students who were but one year old at the time of 9/11. The ability to relate the cranes message to more contemporary events that directly affect students’ lives not only adds a more powerful dimension to the folding act, but also facilitates intercultural understanding through the use of a Japanese act to convey student empathy for human suffering. The idea of utilizing Senbazuru in a conscious and relevant way for children in Tasmania had its genesis in the period following the Port Arthur tragedy when students across this state and in Vic-toria folded 40,000 cranes as a prayer for healing 100 days after those events. That project, sup-ported actively by MCJLE, united children, schools, and the community in using the healing crane to extend a message of peace and comfort. 15 years later the idea resurfaced in relation to the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Our students were able to observe graphically the impact of the most widely recorded tsunami in history and scenes of total destruction more immediate more widespread in scale than the atom bomb. Al-though many already had been involved in fund raising activities, the approach of peace day meant that they could physically express individually and collectively their support for those still suffering months later, and embed richly the meaning of 日本がんばれ！！ Whilst so doing, students were able to remember not just the people of Japan, but also the earthquake victims of Haiti and Christ-church, and the inland tsunami victims of Queensland. Furthermore, folding cranes helped them to appreciate that, although the immediacy of such disasters and tragedies have moved from the head-lines, the pain and struggle continues. Each orizuru both commemorated and cautions us not to for-get too easily. On 5th August the cranes were put on display in the foyer of the ABC in Hobart, accompanied by a live broadcast on local ABC Radio 936. Schools, and businesses helped with other decorations, and a local sushi master provided sushi for the children attending. Messages written individually by each child on sheets or cranes have been collected, and their $1 small and affordable donations are on their way to the bank. In a week or two the messages, money, and some representative cranes will be sent to a former Japanese Assistant Teacher, Akihiro Su-zuki, who has raised funds and mobilized fellow students at Nagoya University to help with recon-struction in their summer holidays. Aki, a native of Sendai, on our behalf will deliver our messages of support to the Mayor of Sendai with a request that funds raised be directed to childrens’ programs in the area. As a result of this activity, children studying Japanese in Tasmania have commemorated their wish for peace, enhanced their empathy for disaster victims, and joined collectively to make a difference in both their community and the world in general. No doubt Sadako, her friends, and the victims of Hiroshima would approve of sentiments such as this: When the earthquakes and tsunami hit Japan it was horrible to see all the children that lost their families and the Mothers and fathers who lost their children. I hope that everyone in Japan will recover and everyone will have a home again. [Abbie: Widnermere Primary School]

Japanese Festivals and Events

Culture Day 文化文化文化文化のののの日日日日 11月月月月3日日日日 November 3 is Culture Day, a national holiday. It was on this day in 1946 that the present Constitu-tion of Japan was officially announced. To commemorate this event, the date was made into a holiday two years later to foster the ideals of the Constitution - the love of peace and freedom - through cultural activities. The Constitution did not actually come into force until May 3, 1947, though, and so there's a sepa-rate national holiday, Constitution Memorial Day, to mark that event. http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/explore/calendar/november/culture.html Labor Thanksgiving Day 勤労感謝勤労感謝勤労感謝勤労感謝のののの日日日日 11月月月月23日日日日 November 23 is Labor Thanksgiving Day, a second national holiday in November. It became a holiday in 1948 as a day for citizens to express gratitude to one other for work done throughout the year and for the fruits of those labors. Labor Thanksgiving Day (Kinro Kansha no Hi in Japanese) is actually a modern name for an ancient ritual called Niinamesai (Harvest Festival). In the ritual, the Emperor makes the season's first of-fering of freshly harvested rice to the gods and then partakes of the rice himself http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/explore/calendar/november/labor.html

Emperor’s birthday 天皇誕生日天皇誕生日天皇誕生日天皇誕生日 12月月月月23日日日日 The Emperor's Birthday is a national holiday in the Japanese calendar. It is currently celebrated on 23 December. The date is determined by the present Emperor’s birthday. Emperor Akihito was born on this date in 1933. Ushering in the New Year 大晦日大晦日大晦日大晦日 12月月月月31日日日日 The final day of the year, December 31, is called omisoka in Japan. In order to usher in the new year feeling fresh, families have to finish up cleaning their house and making preparations for the New Year holidays by omisoka. Kids are in the middle of winter break, and they usually help out with the chores. A lot of college students and working people who moved to big cities to attend school or take on a job return to their hometowns to spend New Year's with their families, friends, and relatives. On New Year's Eve, many families gather around the TV set to watch special omisoka programs and eat toshi-koshi ("year-crossing") buckwheat noodles in the hope that one's life will be stretched out as long as these noodles. New Year's Eve is the one day of the year when kids don't get scolded for staying up late. http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/explore/calendar/december/omisoka.html


New Year's Day 元旦元旦元旦元旦 1月月月月1日日日日 January 1 is New Year's Day, a national holiday and one of the biggest events on the calendar of annual festivities in Japan. Schools close for about two weeks of winter holiday before and after New Year's, and most companies also shut down for New Year break from around December 30 to January 3. Many people who've moved to big cities return home for the holidays to be with family and friends. From well before dawn on New Year's Day, people flock to shrines and temples to pray for a healthy and happy year. This is called hatsu-mode and is one of the most important rituals of the year. When we greet our acquaintances, moreover, we say "Akemashite omedeto go-zaimasu" (a happy new year) to convey our wishes that the year to come will be full of hope and good health. http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/explore/calendar/january/gantan.html

Coming-of-Age Day 成人成人成人成人のののの日日日日 1月第月第月第月第2月曜日月曜日月曜日月曜日 The second Monday of January is Coming-of-Age Day, a national holiday to encourage those who have newly entered adulthood to become self-reliant members of society. (The holiday used to be on January 15, but in 2000 it was moved to the second Monday of the month.)

Municipal governments host special coming-of-age ceremonies for 20-year-olds, since an "adult" in Japan is legally defined as one who is 20 or over. They gain the right to vote on their twentieth birthday, and they're also allowed to smoke and drink. But along with these rights come new respon-sibilities as well, and so age 20 is a big turning point for the Japanese. http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/explore/calendar/january/seijinshiki.html

Setsubun and Bean-Throwing 節分節分節分節分 Japan has four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The term setsubun originally referred to the days marking the change from one season to the next, so that there were four of them, but today only the day before risshun (the beginning of spring in the traditional Japanese calendar) is called by that name. Setsubun comes on either February 3 or 4, depending on the year. http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/explore/calendar/february/setsubun.html

National Foundation Day 建国記念建国記念建国記念建国記念のののの日日日日 2月月月月11日日日日 February 11 is National Foundation Day, a national holiday for Japanese people to remind themselves of the nation's founding and foster their love for the nation.

Japan switched from the traditional Japanese calendar - a lunar calendar based on the waxing and waning of the moon - to the Gregorian calendar starting in January 1873. It was at this time that the day of the enthronement of Emperor Jinmu, the first Japanese emperor, was made a national holiday and named Kigen-setsu. February 11 was determined as the day of enthronement by calculat-ing the date in the solar calendar corresponding to the date recorded in the Nihon Shoki (The Chronicles of Japan), Japan's first history compiled on imperial orders. (However, many historians believe that Emperor Jinmu's enthronement, as described in the Nihon Shoki, was not a historical fact but folklore.)
