<p><strong></strong>You may purchase the book &#8220;The Orphan Tsunami of 1700&#8243; on Amazon.com.  There is one book available at Kinokuniya bookstore in Seattle.</p>
<p>David gave a fascinating account of how a mysterious tsunami earthquake in 1700 allowed the Northwest to better prepare for its own natural disasters.  David Yamaguchi is a regular columnist for The North American Post newspaper and holds a Phd in geology.  He worked on this project during 1999-2005, shares this story linking Japan with the U.S. and Canada.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Hokubei Hochi Foundation</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>2012 Year in Review </strong></p>
<p align="center">(Scroll down for Japanese, and for 2012 Acknowledgements)</p>
<p align="center">Thank you for your support as we completed our first full year of programming and operations.  Over this past year:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Published <strong>&#8220;A Century</strong><strong> of Puget Sound Nikkei Community History”</strong></em>  publication, an updated sequel to “Coming Home,” a publication originally published by the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) in 1988.  This beautiful 149-page pictorial was jointly sponsored by the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) and The North American Post (NA Post) newspaper.  <em></em></li>
<li><em>S</em>ponsored<strong><em> </em></strong>popular <strong><em>events</em></strong> featuring Japanese/Nikkei educational speakers such as Port of Seattle CEO Tay Yoshitani and philanthropist Scott Oki; cultural events including a kimono extravaganza featuring Kimono Master Yu Ugawa, and two sushi programs featuring Master Chef Shiro Kashiba and Chef Daisuke Nakazawa; benefit performances featuring Sansei jazz pianist Deems Tsutakawa; a Japanese beer garden, and more.  All total, we drew several thousand attendees and received highly positive feedback.  <em></em></li>
<li><em>I</em>nitiated a groundbreaking<strong><em> Newspaper Digital Archive Project</em></strong>.  Co-sponsored by the University of Washington (UW), we seek to digitize historic to current issues of The NA Post newspaper.  This will be the first bilingual English and Japanese newspaper to feature keyword search capability using the U.W.’s database system and technology called <em>Contentdm</em><em>©</em><em>.  </em>We hope that the first sample issues from the year 1946 will be available online for viewing during the first quarter of 2013.  The collection will be named <strong><em>NA Post (hokubei hochi) </em></strong><strong><em>Digital Newspaper Collection.</em></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The Project Team is comprised of:  Glenda Pearson, Microfilm Department, UW Suzzallo Library: Anne Graham and Theo Gerontakos, UW Digital Initiatives Program; Gina Kessler, UW graduate intern; Maiya Gessling, UW student intern; Shihou Sasaki, NA Post; Eddy Harrison, UW East Asia Library; Shawn Schollmeyer, National Newspaper Digital Project; Yohji Kameoka, volunteer translator; Tomio Moriguchi, NA Post and Hokubei Hochi Foundation.  Elaine Ikoma Ko is the main staff for the project.  <em></em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>S</em>ponsored an inaugural<strong><em> Student Intern Program.  </em></strong>Maiya Gessling was selected and traveled to Japan this past October.  Maiya is a UW junior majoring in international studies with a minor in Japanese language.  Her articles are regularly published in The NA Post newspaper. <em></em></li>
</ul>
<p>Staff:  Elaine Ikoma Ko; assisted by Travis Suzaka of The NA Post; Maiya Gessling, student intern.</p>
<p>Board of Directors:  Tomio Moriguchi, President; Randy Tada, Secretary; Yohji Kameoka, Mick Matsuzawa, Mayumi Nakamura, Eri Takahashi</p>
<p align="center">２０１２年を振り返って</p>
<p>・北米報知財団は1988年に日系市民協会 (JACL)が刊行した『Coming Home』の続編となる『100 Years of Puget Sound Nikkei Community History』を、北米報知新聞とJACL と共同制作しました。同本は149ページにわたる美しい地元日系史の変遷本になります。</p>
<p>・シアトル港湾局CEOのテイ・ヨシタニ氏や慈善家のスコット・オキ氏など日本人、日系人を招待しての講演会、着物マスターの鵜川有先生による着物ショーをはじめとした文化イベント、寿司職人加柴司郎さんと中澤大祐さんによる寿司イベント、ジャズピアニストのディームズ・ツタカワ氏による慈善興行、ジャパニーズビアガーデンなど数々のイベントを主催してきました。これらのイベントは合わせて数千人の参加者を集め、高い評価を受けてきました。</p>
<p>・新聞アーカイブのデジタル化事業を開始しました。ワシントン大学の協力で過去100年以上にわたる北米報知新聞既刊号のデジタル化に取り組んでいます。これはワシントン大学のデータベースと、Contentdm©と呼ばれる技術を使用して、初の日米両語によるキーワード検索が可能となります。オンライン上ではNA Post (Hokubei Hochi) Digital Newspaper Collectionとして見ることができ、2013年第一四半期の間に1946年発行号がサンプルとして閲覧できるようプロジェクトを進めています。</p>
<p>・学生インターンプログラムの一環で10月にインターン生のマイヤ・ゲスリングさんが日本を訪れました。彼女はワシントン大学国際学部の学生で日本語を学んでいます。北米報知新聞でも定期的に記事が掲載されています。</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.hokubeihochi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/NA-Times-1942-01-02-p3_01.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-947" title="NA Times 1942-01-02 p3_01" src="http://www.hokubeihochi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/NA-Times-1942-01-02-p3_01-228x300.jpg" alt="" width="228" height="300" /></a>The Hokubei Hochi Foundation is pleased to announce partnerships with the University of Washington on an exciting project to digitize the past issues of The North American Post newspapers. This will allow the public to access information through KEY WORD SEARCH using the latest digital technology.</p>
<p>4Culture has provided seed funding for this project.  4Culture is the cultural services agency for King County, Washington and support citizens and groups who preserve our shared heritage, and create arts and cultural opportunities for residents and visitors. (www.4culture.org).</p>
<p>The U.W. Digital Initiatives Program and the Suzallo Library Microfilm Department, have come on board as key partners to assist in the planning and implementation of this complex project.  The post-WWII North American Post (Hokubei hochi) newspaper dates back to 1946.  The pre-WWII paper up until the Japanese American internment was published under The North American Times (Hokubei jiji) beginning in 1902.  Most of the early issues of both papers are written in Japanese.</p>
<p>Many newspapers have digitized for ready access for online readers, most notably, The New York Times, and locally, The Seattle Times and other news publications.  Some have used the newer technology of Optical Character Recognition (&#8220;OCR&#8221;) wherein the news pages are scanned and words or characters are &#8220;recognized&#8221; using specialized software.  We have conducted initial testing using OCR software in both English and Japanese and have found the accuracy rate to be low because of the poor quality of the news print and other factors.</p>
<p>We are currently researching and testing the approach of manually entering key words into the U.W.&#8217;s CONTENTdm data management system.  This approach is initially proving to be effective and more accurate.  At the end of the project, content of past issues can be searched using key word search and be made available online to the general public.</p>
<p>This project will start with a sample of issues starting with the year 1946 and hope to publish it on the U.W. Library Digital Collections website.  We hope to secure future sponsors to digitize all the years.  The foundation is excited to produce a prototype model that can be replicated by other small community newspapers and publications across the country and indeed globally.</p>
<p>Many thanks to our Project Team members comprised of Glenda Pearson, Anne Graham, Theo Gerontakos, U.W.; Shawn Schollmeyer of the National Digital Newspapers Program; Gina Kessler, U.W. Masters of Information School graduate student; Shihou Sasaki, The North American Post;   Eddy Harrison, U.W.East Asia Library, Maiya Gessling, UW student and intern with the Hokubei Hochi Foundation; Yohji Kameoka, translator, Board member, Hokubei Hochi Foundation, Tomio Moriguchi, publisher/owner, North American Post, and Board President, Hokubei Hochi Foundation.   Elaine Ikoma Ko is lead staff for the project.</p>
<p>北米報知財団は、北米報知新聞既刊号のデジタル化プロジェクトにおきまして、4Cultureとワシントン大学とのパートナーシップを結んだ事をここにご報告させて頂きます。</p>
<p>4Cultureからは既にこのプロジェクトに対する投資を頂いております。King Countyはワシントン州で市民とその伝統を保護する団体をサポートする機関であり、4CultureはKing Countyの文化事業を担っており、芸術と文化に触れる機会を市民やその他の人々にも提供しています。</p>
<p>ワシントン大学の革新的なデジタル化プログラムとスザロ図書館のマイクロフィルム課におきましては、この複雑なプロジェクトの企画と推進を手助けして頂く重要なパートナーとして協力して頂いております。第二次世界大戦以後の北米報知新聞は1946年まで遡ります。大戦以前の新聞は北米報知時事として1902年から発行されました。初期に発行されたもののほとんどは日本語で発行されております。</p>
<p>多くの新聞、特にニューヨークタイムズ、そして地方紙であるシアトルタイムズやその他の新聞など、が既に利用者が気軽にアクセスできるようにする為にデジタル化されています。いくつかの新聞は新しい、光学文字認識、いわゆるOCRと呼ばれる技術に特化したソフトウェアを使用することによって新聞紙を読み取り、言葉や文字を拾い上げる、という方法をとっています。私たちは、当初のテストにおいては英語、日本語ともにOCRソフトを使ってプロジェクトを実施しておりましたが、低い品質の印刷とその他の要因におきまして、識字の正確性が著しく低くなってしまう、という事実に直面致しました。</p>
<p>昨今は手動で直接キーボードによってワシントン大学のCONTENTdmマネジメントシステムに記事を入力するという手法によって調査とテストを進めております。この手法はより効果的で正確性が見込めるものであると当初から考えられておりました。このプロジェクトの最終地点として、過去の既刊分の全てがキーワード検索可能になり、図書館のオンラインにて閲覧する事が出来るようになります。</p>
<p>本プロジェクトは1946年に発刊が開始された新聞をサンプル対象としてスタートし、ワシントン大学図書館デジタルコレクションウェブサイトへの掲載も希望しております。私達はこのデジタル化を遂行する為に、今後もスポンサーを確保し続けていく予定です。当財団は、国境を越え、小規模なコミュニティの新聞社や出版社が再現できる様なデジタル化プロジェクトの試作版を手掛けることに大きな喜びを感じております。</p>
<p>ここで感謝の意をプロジェクトメンバーに表明したいと思います。グレンダ・ピアソンさん、アン・グラハムさん（ワシントン大学）、ジーナ・ケスラーさん（ワシントン大学Information School修士課程卒業生）、エンドウナツミさん（翻訳者、リサーチャー）、プロジェクトのアドバイザーであるシホウササキ（北米報知新聞）、そしてエディ・ハリソンさん（ワシントン大学）、誠にありがとうございました。</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;How To Eat Sushi The Expert Way Featuring Chef Shiro Kashiba and Daisuke Nakazawa&#8221; was a sell-out success.  The event was held on Saturday, November 3rd, 2012, at the Nagomi Tea House in Seattle&#8217;s International District..  Please click here to see slides from the event&#8217;s program:  <a href="http://www.hokubeihochi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Sushi-Sequel-Presentation.pptx">Slides from Nov 3rd Even</a>t</p>
<p>This was the second in a two-event series with support from The Japan Foundation.   The first event,  &#8221;History and Culture of Edomae Sushi-From Tokyo to Seattle,&#8221; presented to a sell-out crowd on September 23rd.</p>
<p>Here is video of the Sept. 23rd event, produced by Ibuki Magazine:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9MstyIx66A</p>
<p>The Nov. 3rd event included photo slides and a short video clip of Tokyo’s Chef Jiro of the acclaimed documentary ‘<em>Jiro Dreams of Sushi.’ </em>The program featured extensive narration of sushi-related information by Yasuko Nakajima, followed by a live sushi demonstration and sampling prepared by the chefs.</p>
<p>Guests were seated with sushi place settings and learn about topics such as the various types of local NW fish; history and tradition of how sushi began and has evolved; different types of sushi knives; health benefits of sushi; importance of quality ingredients; how to pair various types of sake and green tea; sushi etiquette, and more.</p>
<p>In addition to sampling sushi, the audience learned the proper etiquette and the &#8216;how&#8217;s and why&#8217;s&#8217; of sushi preparation and how it should be eaten.</p>
<p>Thank you to The Japan Foundation for their support of both events.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: MS Mincho; font-size: small;">江戸前寿司職人加柴司郎さんと中澤大祐さんによる江戸前寿司の文化紹介イベント「How to Eat Sushi The Expert Way」は大成功を収めました。同イベントは11月３日午後２時から４時までシアトル市インターナショナル・ディストリクトの和み茶室で開かれました。イベントプログラムのスライドはこちら　<a href="http://www.hokubeihochi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Sushi-Sequel-Presentation.pptx">Slides from Nov 3rd Even</a>t</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: MS Mincho; font-size: small;">当イベントは国際交流基金主催の９月23日に大成功を収めました「Edomae Sushi &#8211; From Tokyo to Seattle」の続編になります。</span></p>
<p>Ibuki Magazineによる９月23日の動画はこちら：　http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9MstyIx66A</p>
<p>同イベントでは寿司職人の小野二郎を追ったドキュメンタリー映画『二郎は鮨の夢を見る』（Jiro Dreams of Sushi）の写真や短いビデオクリップが上映される幕もありました。プログラムは、Yasuko Nakajimaによる幅広い寿司関連情報が述べられ、後に寿司のデモンストレーションおよび試食会が行われました。</p>
<p>参加者は付け台に座り、ノースウェスト産の魚の種類、寿司の歴史と伝統、包丁の種類、寿司の健康面への作用、寿司の材料、どのような種類の日本酒とお茶を組み合わせるかなど様々なトピックを学びました。</p>
<p>寿司の試食に加え、ゲストは正しい礼儀作法、&#8221;How”と”Why”に焦点を当てた寿司の作り方そして食べ方を学びました。</p>
<p>上記二つのイベントのサポートをしてくださった国際交流基金に深く感謝申し上げます。</p>
