Hina Matsuri and Koinobori Display

By phchow on March 1, 2024

The Asian Library is currently hosting a display featuring hina ningyō and koinobori in celebration of Girl’s Day and Children’s Day.  

Hina ningyō are a set of dolls that represent the emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians in ancient court dress. They are set up on a tiered platform in celebration of hina matsuri (doll festival), a festival for girls held on March 3. The hina ningyō featured in the display, on loan from Gage Dierkes, were purchased from a Japanese gift store in Honolulu, Hawaii and given to her family in 1974 by her grandmother. Hina matsuri is celebrated by the family by eating hishimochi (diamond-shaped rice cakes) and drinking shirozake (made with rice malt and sake).  

Koinobori (carp streamers) are carp-shaped banners, flown in celebration of Children’s Day on May 5. In Japan, carps are a symbol of success, due to the ancient Chinese legend of a carp swimming upstream and becoming a dragon. The black carp represents the father, the red one the mother and the blue one the son. Traditionally, koinobori, were flown to celebrate the health and prosperity of male children, but the practice has come to include children of all genders.

The Japanese lanterns in the background are on loan from the Westside Japanese Language Society and were constructed by Akira Furuzawa. These Japanese lanterns, called chōchin are commonly displayed during matsuri (festivals).

Family Photographs in Open Collections

By Jillian G. on February 20, 2024

Family day is observed each year on the third Monday in February in most provinces across Canada. In British Columbia, the holiday was adopted in 2013 and was originally observed on the second Monday of February. This was the case until 2019, at which point the province moved the holiday to the third Monday of the month in order to align with the schedule that the rest of the country abides by.

In celebration of yesterday having been Family Day, this week’s blog post is a collection of family portraits from various sources found within Open Collections. Home to thousands of photographs, these portraits were found across several collections, either as stand-alone items or as part of family albums.

Timm’s Family:

            In this photograph, the Timms family stands in front of a small boat in Port Moody, B.C., thought to be from around 1910.

[Family Portrait]

This photograph features a family with parents and two small children standing in a garden. Thought to be taken between 1900-1920, there is no information on the identity of this family.

[Unger Family]

This image of the Unger family standing in front of Johnson Electric co. is from an envelope that contained film negatives. The envelope indicates that the film was developed for Mrs. Unger at Camera and Arts ltd. at 610 Granville St. in Vancouver, B.C. Thought to be from between 1904-1924.

[Ward Family, Vancouver, B.C.]

This photograph is of the Ward family giving a musical performance in front of Vancouver’s City Hall in 1940. The names of the family members are printed on the front of the image: “Marjorie, Doris, Walter, Lawrence, Lillian – conductor, James, Clara, Daddy Ward”.

[Photo Album of Unknown Family]

This photograph of a family kayaking is from the photo album of an unknown family, thought to be from between 1925-1940.

Shigetaka Sasaki family

This portrait is of the Shigetaka Sasaki family sitting in a garden, the date is unknown.

Niwatsukino family working on farm in Turin, Alberta

The Niwatsukino family with horses in Alberta, from 1942.

[Family wedding portrait]

This family wedding portrait features people dressed in both traditional Chinese garments as well as Western garments, the image is from some time after 1920.

Our piano mover and family

This photograph is of a family sitting on a front lawn. The hand written note at the bottom of the photograph identifies them as “our Piano mover and family”. Thought to be from between 1890-1899.

WE ARE HUMAN!: Film Discussion Event Recap

By phchow on February 20, 2024

On Tuesday, February 6, approximately sixty-two in person participants and twenty-seven online participants attended a hybrid panel discussion featuring a documentary film on human rights violations in Japan. The event, which was hosted by UBC Asian Library and the Department of Asian Studies, centered around the film Watashitachi wa Ningen da! ワタシタチハニンゲンダ! (We are Human!) which was produced in 2022 by director Ko Chanyu, a second-generation Zainichi (‘residing in Japan’) Korean journalist and filmmaker.

The film can be viewed here (CWL required): https://resolve.library.ubc.ca/cgi-bin/catsearch?bid=12858063

This free public event, offered concurrently as part of UBC’s Arts Studies course, ASTU 201: Canada, Japan and the Pacific: Cultural Studies, highlighted the work of panelists with expertise on the history of contemporary issues of (im)migration, labour, and racism in Canada and Japan.

After watching a filmed interview by Director Ko, Dr. Ayaka Yoshimizu, Assistant Professor of Teaching, Department of Asian Studies & UBC-Ritsumeikan Academic Exchange Programs, moderated an enlightening discussion with panelists Dr. Christina Yi, Associate Professor of Modern Japanese Literature, Department of Asian Studies, and Dr. Evelyn Encalada Grez, Assistant Professor of Labour Studies Program, Sociology and Anthropology, Simon Fraser University.

Dr. Yi addressed the history of Zainichi Koreans and the Japanese government’s policies towards them as the foundation for subsequent policies regarding immigrants and refugees. Dr. Encalada Grez presented on similar human and labour rights issues in Canada, notably the migrant farm workers who are an essential part of Canadian and BC agriculture, yet are subject to inhumane living conditions and restrictions of basic human freedoms.

The following additional resources were recommended for those interested in furthering their knowledge:
