On Sunday, February 29th, schools from throughout the state, including 11 neighbor island teams from the Big Island, Kauai, Maui, and Molokai, sent 111 students and 33 advisors-a total of 37 teams-to participate in the Society's first Japan Wizards Competition held at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. At the end, the Society awarded the top four teams-two public schools and two private schools-an all-expense paid trip to Japan in the summer 2004. Language level 2 team McKinley High School, level 3 teams Punahou School and Roosevelt High School, and level 4 team Iolani School will have the opportunity to experience first-hand their classroom learning. Also, Punahou High School's Level 2 team won first-place. Otsukaresamadeshita to all teams for their efforts!
The Japan Wizards Competition is a challenging, fun-filled team competition for Hawaii's public and private high school students. The competition, which replaced the Japan Bowl affiliated with the Japan-America Society of Washington, DC, is designed to motivate high school students to learn about the Japanese culture outside of the classroom and develop research and teamwork skills. Teams of three students were tested on an extensive range of topics, which included arts & culture, daily life, economics & government, history, geography, transportation, sports, language, and values & beliefs. All competitions were manned by Society volunteers, including current and retired educators, Graduate and Ph.D. students, and native Japanese speakers and experts, who served as Moderators, Judges, Timers, and Scorers.

It is a deep honor and privilege to serve as your chair for 2004. The year has already started with a number of activities that reflect our focus this year: reaching the new generation and honoring the traditions that tie us together. As part of the commemoration of 150 years of US-Japan relations, we welcomed some very special guests to Hawaii. Ambassador Yoshio Okawara and Mrs. Okawara, Ms. Akiko Kuno, great-granddaughter of Sutematsu Oyama, the first Japanese Woman Graduate of Vassar, and Dr. Fred Nichols, descendant of Commodore Perry, shared their personal insights on the history and depth of our relationships. Among those in attendance at the event were a group of students from Lahainalua. Just a few weeks earlier, we had 111 students from 37 teams participating in the Japan Wizards Competition. And we selected eight 11-year-olds from a talented group of 40 finalists to participate in the upcoming Asian Pacific Children's Convention. The Hawaii children will join 350 other students from 40 countries for a multicultural experience in Fukuoka, Japan. This will allow each student to learn about different perspectives and open their minds to the world outside their own. Experiencing these different perspectives is the goal of JASH's Continuum of School Programs, which includes a variety of activities from kindergarten to high school.
We are also encouraging our corporate members to learn more about each other through the 5:01 pau hana events. Through the diligent efforts of the chairman of the 5:01 program, Howard Hamamoto, we will have a 5:01 every month through January 2005. Our special thanks to Society Director and Halekulani COO Peter Shaindlin for hosting the March 5:01. We hope these festive events will encourage you to bring colleagues and friends to become members of JASH.
I also want to thank the following for agreeing to serve as Chairs of these important committees: Sachi Braden - Membership; Howard Hamamoto - Hawaii 5:01; Howard Karr - Development; Kenji Sumida - Program; Jean E. Rolles - Community Service; Ruth Ann Becker - Public Relations; Marjorie Yoshioka and Sumi Oda - Tomodachi; Mike Leineweber - Sister Society Development; Gary Oda, Douglas Goto, and Mike Tomihara - Annual Friendship Golf Fundraiser; Robin Campaniano - Annual Dinner. If any of you who are members of the Society wish to participate, I encourage you to volunteer for one or more of the committees. Just call or email the office.
In closing, I wish to thank our many donors who make it possible for the Society to carry out its educational outreach programs. Mahalo to everyone one of you who support the Japan-America Society of Hawaii.

On January 28th, JIAS made a second trip to a neighbor island this school year. President Okawa, interns Yumiko Okamoto, Midori Tashiro and Bryant Tadeo, and Crown Prince Akihito Scholar Aya Kitamura traveled to Kauai with two suitcases filled with Japanese school items for presentations at Eleele Elementary and Waimea Canyon Elementary Schools. Students enjoyed this hands-on experience and learned about different perspectives. The teachers said "It meets our social studies content standards about similarities and differences in other cultures. The program surpassed our own expectations."
Since the beginning of this school year, JIAS has been presented to 108 classes, reaching 2,800 students. This marked the highest number the Society has ever reached in one year. The Society owes this success entirely to our faithful and dedicated volunteers.
Volunteers Needed. We need volunteers to help with the JIAS presentations. Additionally, we also need drivers. If there are any of you who would like to help JIAS, please call us at 524-4450 or e-mail at intern@jashawaii.org.

The warmth and beauty of the setting sun welcomed Society members and guests to the Monday, March 15th Halekulani Hawaii 5:01 Program, sponsored by corporate member Halekulani Corporation and COO and Society Board Director Mr. Peter Shaindlin. Located on the 2nd floor Hau Terrace, attendees could appreciate the beautiful view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach while enjoying culinary delights and cocktails, prepared by the hotel's master chefs.
Halekulani was established in 1917 originally as a private beachfront estate. In 2004, the hotel received top honors from Conde Naste Traveler, scoring higher than any other U.S. resort in the publication's "Gold List." They were also ranked the number one resort in the U.S. for location and the number three resort in the U.S. for food. Readers of Travel+Leisure ranked Halekulani as the number one hotel in Hawaii in the "Top 25 Hawaii" category, fourth in the "Top 100 Overall" category, and "Best Hotel for Service in Hawaii" in its 2003 "World's Best Awards Readers' Survey."
A very special mahalo nui loa to Mr. Shaindlin and his staff for the hotel's hospitality, delicious cuisine, and the opportunity for members and guests to meet new friends, renew acquaintances, and introduce potential members to the Society in a beautiful venue. Also, four lucky names were drawn for two passes to the Honolulu Academy of Art's current exhibition and two tickets to the Honolulu Symphony. And thank you to Hawaii 5:01 Chair and Society Director Howard Hamamoto for his hard work in arranging the Society's 5:01 programs.

Former Reporter and retired Chairman of the Board for Asahi Shimbun, Graduate Professor at Kyoritsu Women's University in Tokyo, and the author of several publications in both Japanese and English, Yukio Matsuyama focused on the Japanese government and economy and Japan's Self-Defense Forces deployment to Iraq at a breakfast meeting on Wednesday, February 18th at the Plaza Club.
Mr. Matsuyama explained that the terrorist attacks changed the U.S.-Japan relationship. This was the first time Japan had been directly affected by an American President's decision to wage war against a foreign country. Prime Minister Koizumi understood that Japan would have to take immediate action to support the United States, if in turn, Japan expected aid with North Korea.
Mr. Matsuyama also touched upon Japan's current economy, stating that the Japanese government "has repeatedly insisted that there will be a sustained, modest recovery….but very few, if any, Japanese at large feel that Japan's economy will get out of the woods so soon." He emphasized that this economic recovery would be determined by the situation in Iraq.
Mr. Matsuyama then explained that many Japanese felt that Prime Minister Koizumi failed to change the fundamental structure of the LDP and entire Japanese political system, referring to it as "feudalistic democracy." He ended with the question, "Nevertheless, why does Prime Minister Koizumi continue to enjoy a high popularity rate-usually over 50% and even sometimes over 70%?"Mr. Matsuyama left the audience with one answer-"Junichiro the Lucky."

The United States and Japan are commemorating the 150 years of United States-Japan relations that began with the visit of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry and his "Black Ships" to Japan on July 8, 1853. The following year, a Treaty of Trade and Amity was signed by the U.S. and Japan, which allowed the U.S. access to two ports for resupplying of the commercial whaling fleet. Since July 2003, Japan-America Societies in the United States and Japan and their respective governments have been conducting various activities to commemorate the United States-Japan relationship.
Between March 5th through the 7th, the Society, the Consulate General of Japan at Honolulu, JAIMS and the Honolulu Festival Foundation partnered for a series of programs to commemorate the 150 years of relations between the United States and Japan. These activities were held in conjunction with the 10th Honolulu Festival. On Friday, March 5th, the Society and the Consulate General of Japan sponsored a program that featured Minister Naoyuki Agawa from the Japanese Embassy in Washington, DC. As the Minister of Public Affairs and Director of the Japan Cultural Center, Minister Agawa is also the Government of Japan's lead person in promoting the 150th Anniversary events. Thus, the Society was especially honored to have Minister Agawa speak about the importance of the relationship.
On March 6th, a seminar was held to reflect on the 150 years of U.S.-Japan relations. With the help of JTB and the Honolulu Festival Foundation, the Society was able to feature Dr. Fredric Hone Nichols, the 6th generation descendant of Commodore Perry as the first speaker. He spoke on Commodore Perry's visit to Japan and the situation surrounding Japan at the time. Adding to this special event was the presence of two 6th generation descendants of Gohachiro Namura, one of the interpreters for Commodore Perry. The two Namura descendants present were Kristin Emi Izumi-Nitao and Kimberley MiyaVan Dyke who came with their mother, Dana Izumi.
Making the seminar even more special was the presence of Ms. Akiko Kuno, the Executive Director of the America-Japan Society, Inc (Tokyo Society). She spoke about her great grandmother, Sutematsu Oyama, an eleven-year old who traveled to the United States on the Iwakura Mission, the first mission from Japan to the U.S. following Perry's visit. Sutematsu Oyama remained in the U.S. for 11 years and attended Vassar College, graduating as the class valedictorian. These two personal historical accounts were complemented with former Ambassador Yoshio Okawara's own accounts of U.S.-Japan relations. Ambassador Okawara served as Japan's Ambassador to the US between 1980-1985 during a difficult period in the bilateral relationship. Ambassador Okawara also serves as President of the America-Japan Society, Inc and the Chair of the National Association of America-Japan Societies in Japan.
Capping the seminar was a panel of two American scholars, Christopher Bondy and John Treiber, who are also Crown Prince Akihito Scholars, and two Japanese scholars, Masaki Seo, a student at Hawaii Pacific University and Takashi Yamamoto, who is completing his Ph.D. at the University of Hawaii. These scholars spoke about their experiences and their thoughts on how relations between our two countries can be improved.
The seminar was very informative and went smoothly, thanks to Ms. Caroline Matano Yang, who served as moderator. The Society also extends its appreciation to Mr. David Asanuma, Executive Director of the Honolulu Festival Foundation for his support and to Ms. Dori Hirata, JAIMS, who arranged for the Black Ships Exhibit and a related workshop for teachers. It was a great learning experience for all who attended.

For the second year in a row, JASH is proud to be the Hawaii organizer for the 16th Asian Pacific Children's Convention (APCC) in Fukuoka, Japan. The APCC is an international exchange program for 11-year old "Junior Ambassadors" (JAs) that was first established to promote internationalization. This year, 350 JAs from 40 Pacific Rim countries will have the opportunity to participate in a two-week homestay cultural exchange. During the first week, students are mixed together for programs at the "Marine House" in Fukuoka. For the second week of the exchange, students are pre-assigned to enthusiastic families within the Fukuoka area for true cultural exchange.
Open to every public and private school statewide, interested fifth and sixth graders submitted an application and two letters of recommendation. Semi-finalists were interviewed by a panel of judges and then further evaluated during a series of group workshops. Congratulations to Hawaii's eight Junior Ambassadors who will represent both Hawaii and the U.S. on the July 11-31 trip: Kolu Buck, Clara Hawkins, Cody Ishizuka, Calla McCarthy, Sarah Tamashiro, Emma Tunison, Tyler Yafuso, Ryan Yamane. The alternate is Olivia Marohnic. The chaperone is Crown Prince Akihito Scholar and Society member Cindy Montgomery.
Junior Ambassadors will participate in a series of monthly workshops, beginning in February through July where they will learn their duties as JAs. They are also given homework assignments to research and report on all APCC's participating countries, including Japan and Hawaii, and on current events. Two workshops were already held in February and March. Students, under the direction of Mrs. Michelle Buck (Kolu Buck's mother), will learn the hula, "Holoholo Ka'a" to perform at the Fukuoka's Cultural Performance. We wish our JAs and Chaperone Cindy good luck and a great job as Goodwill Ambassadors!

As first-time participants, Waipahu High School, along with Lutheran High School and Roosevelt High School filed into Hawaii Tokai International College's 9th floor Auditorium on Wednesday, March 31st to experience the Society's 23rd Biannual Japan Day. These 150 students and advisors join over 4,300 students from 39 public and private high schools who have participated in this half-day cultural program.
Since its inception in 1993, Japan Day immerses students in Japanese culture by providing hands-on experience with eight traditional art forms. 40 volunteers donate their time, energy, and supplies to students to help expand their knowledge of Japan and the U.S.-Japan relationship.
Under the direction of Mrs. Faye Komogata, members of the Hawaii Matsuri Taiko-Janeen Nambu, Keiji Ogikubo, and Rosten Tsuha-greeted participants with two energetic Taiko pieces. Four students tried their hands at Taiko and quickly learned that it takes a lot of precision and skill to create the rhythmic patterns and beats.
With patient help from members of the Honolulu Fukushima Bon Dance Club, students were given a quick introduction to a few bon dance steps. Beautifully clad in authentic kimonos, students were led around the room to the sounds of the fue and Taiko. Interestingly, Japanese students from Tokai's campus in Tokyo joined to learn the bon dance. This was their first experience with the traditional art form.
Under the guidance of Ed Nakanishi and the Hawaii Bonsai Association, participants created bonsai arrangements, using monkey pod shoots, red dirt, and blessed lava rocks. Students proudly carried off their creations, thanks to the generosity of the HBA. Shokyoku Hashiro briefly explained Japanese calligraphy and gave students kanji samples with their names written in Japanese characters. Kikuji Yonesato and her Kikufu Nippon Bunka Kenkyu Kai taught the boys and girls traditional origami. At Ikebana, Jessie Nakata emphasized students to use their own creativity and idea of beauty to craft miniature ikebana with carnation buds, trees, and ferns.
At her kimono class, Jean Sakihara and volunteers from the Education Laboratory School Kimono Project USA demonstrated the proper way to put on a yukata. "Left over right." Two students-Amanda Fujii and Denise Oishi-have helped with six Japan Days and will be graduating this May 2004. Good luck! Hideaki Oshima from the Araki Hiroya Soroban School used his giant abacus to demonstrate counting. Students then had a chance to keep pace on their own soroban as he called out numbers and equations. And fresh macha tea with Japanese cookies was offered to those who attended the tea ceremony presented by the Urasenke Foundation.
The Society would like to express its sincere appreciation to the volunteers who help students to "open minds and hearts in friendship." And thank you to Tokai for use of their facilities and years of support.

The torrential rains weren't enough to keep Tomodachi members and friends from enjoying the annual Hinamatsuri Celebration at the Consulate General of Japan. Consul General and Mrs. Muto once again opened their home to welcome Society members. Long-time Tomodachi member and JASH Director, Atsuko Igarashi coordinated this event.
The event started with koto and shakuhachi music by Yoko Sato & Marty Regan who played traditional favorites such as "Ureshii Hinamatsuri." The members also enjoyed traditional hinamatsuri delights like chirashi sushi prepared by Maguro-ya and assorted mochi by Nisshodo in pink to represent chasing away evil, white to represent purity, and green to represent health. Clam soup, or ushiojiro, that represents chastity, and hina arare, which is traditionally offered to the dolls were also served. Thank you to Chef Yanagishita who prepared the soup as well as a delightful modern daifuku to culminate a pleasant end to the day.
Members enjoyed themselves by taking pictures with the traditional 5-tier doll display. The celebration was held on February 27, though the actual Hinamatsuri is on March 3. This event must be celebrated no later than March 3 because according to superstition, if the dolls are left out past that date, the girls' fate will be sealed with a late marriage.

On Tuesday, March 23rd, Ms. Anne Sylvester, Global Terrorism Analyst at the US Pacific Command involved Society members and guests in her lecture, "The Threat of al-Qaida: Is Japan a Target?" held at the HEI/American Savings Bank Conference Room. Ms. Sylvester offered her views drawn from personal research and did not represent the opinions or positions of the U.S. Government, PACOM, or any other government agency.
Ms. Sylvester presented her lecture in an informal style, which allowed the audience to openly discuss their own ideas and questions about the threat of al-Qaida and other terrorist groups confronting the U.S. and the world today. Ms. Sylvester began with a basic history of terrorist groups: its goals, grievances, and various tactics employed to secure their ultimate objective-an all-Islamic world. Attendees learned that the March 11th attack on Spain was especially significant as it served as a warning to the U.S. and its allies and also posed the question of "Whose turn is it next?"
Ms. Sylvester continued by addressing Japan as a potential target. Al-Qaida has threatened to attack Japan if it comes to the aid of US endeavors in Iraq. Recently, Japan deployed its Self-Defense Forces to Iraq for what may be its most dangerous mission since the end of WWII.
One audience member asked the question, "How can we win the war against terrorism?" Ms. Sylester answered, "Through eradication." The response was followed up by,
"But, can terrorism ever be eradicated in the world?" Ms. Sylvester expressed her opinion that although it may take several generations, the more realistic goal is to start the process by eliminating the smaller groups. By starting on a smaller level,the U.S. could gain more allies and build a stronger coalition who supports the U.S.'s tough stance.
Mahalo nui loa to Ms. Sylvester for her informative and thought provoking program. Attendees were provided with valuable and useful background and insights into terrorism. Also, special thanks to Mr. Wayne Ishihara, Senior Vice President of American Savings Bank and Society Director for allowing the Society access to the HEI Conference Room facilities.
