  Toronto Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre on Saturday\, October 22nd in t
 he Heritage Lounge\, at 1 pm. The Nishio brothers were born and raised in 
 the Kitsilano area of Vancouver\, British Columbia. Their father\, Ippei (
 Gifu-ken) was a successful textile wholesaler before World War Two. The fa
 mily was forced to move to the &quot\;self supporting&quot\; town of Bridg
