A ‘SLICE’ OF JAPAN: USARJ FRG HOSTS DINNER SHOW

CAMP ZAMA, Japan – Scores of Soldiers and families from Headquarters & Headquarters Company (HHC), U.S. Army Japan, witnessed the country’s “cutting edge” during a Sept. 22, 2015, dinner show featuring a Japanese master swordsman.
Hosted by the HHC’s Family Readiness Group (FRG) at the Camp Zama Community Club, the attendees shared a traditional Italian dinner complete with a variety of wine, bread and pasta while conversing with their fellow brothers- and sisters-in-arms.
“The Soldiers [of USARJ HHC] work together almost everyday, but only on occasion do they meet their respective family members,” said Cecilia Mullis, HHC’s FRG leader. “We hosted this event to allow our Soldiers, spouses and their children to see new and familiar faces over a fine meal in a casual atmosphere.”
The complimentary dinner literally included a ‘slice’ of Japanese culture when Mitsuo Onozaki, a Headstart instructor at the Camp Zama Education Center, stepped onto the stage wearing traditional samurai garments and brandishing a katana. After giving a respectful bow and unsheathing his sword, Onozaki demonstrated his expertise with the blade as he sliced through foot-thick wooden targets in a swift, single motion.
“I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was five [years old],” Onozaki said to his awe struck audience. “The decades of training have shown me that skillful technique is often superior to brute strength.”
After answering a tsunami of questions from his spectators, Onozaki remained on stage to hand out pieces of his chopped adversaries and pose for group photos.
“I don’t host many shows these days,” said the 66-year old martial arts master and Japanese language teacher. “When I do, I particularly like the American audiences because they ask so many questions about how I mentally and physically prepare for myself for every performance. The children, in particular, are very curious about the garments I wear and the rituals I do … It’s an honor to introduce them to the way of the samurai.”
“We’re honored to have [Onozaki] join us tonight,” said Mullis as dozens of children lined along the stage for a chance to speak with a genuine sensei and hold an authentic samurai sword. “His performance is a popular and creative way for FRG to entertain our troops and their families together under one roof.”
