In what was then a largely unconscious move to redraw boundaries, I decided to return to Canada, convinced that the I in the crowd at Asakusa would never be Japanese, whatever that term might have meant at the time. Far from this being a moment of return, however, or a feeling of home after the uprootedness of racist exclusion in Winnipeg, "the act of slipping into the barker's voice" makes Miki conscious of his "own displacement in the crowd" (67): The translation process that allowed the barker's voice to be folded into the remembered childhood moment disrupted my consciousness of the scene.As the barker's voice trailed on, there I was, on a warm and pleasant Saturday afternoon, utterly immersed in the memory of a racialized, hence "freakish" as well, body that haunted my childhood in Winnipeg. Miki found himself "slipping into the barker's world" and "anticipating the gaze": invisible, or not racialized, in the Tokyo crowd, Miki "could enter the language and 'pass' in a critical space" that began "to warp" his imagination. In Asakusa, however, "among the normative bodies there," it was his "own invisibility" that "took on some uncanny effects" (66). Just like "the so-called freak show," the young Miki's racialized body was, in 1940s and 1950s Winnipeg, exposed like "objects displayed for their divergences from the normative gaze" (66). Sound on a Tokyo street, the wondrous verbal dexterity of a barker drawing a crowd, stirs a memory of home, but that memory, sparked aurally, is unhomely, a reminder of visual, and racialized, exclusion. But it wasn't only the voice that attracted me it was also the discursive calling into appearance the object of its gaze-the so-called freak show. I fantasized that, one day, I too might be able to perform so fluidly in the English language. There, at least for a "normal" kid, the barkers were mesmerizing for the uncanny ability they had to perform a stream of constant talk. Entering that circle, my imagination suddenly shuttled back and forth from the voice to the site of the Royal American Show in my Winnipeg childhood. A tightly knit crowd had cohered around him. I was drawn to the insistent rhythm of a barker's voice. (1) A chance aural encounter in the city's historic entertainment district initiates Miki into the project of sounding the "clashing" formations of "Japanese and Canadian under the sign of transnational processes": I was sauntering along a street in Asakusa, inTokyo. ![]() Tokyo creates the poet Roy Miki but, as befits a writer of such complex negotiations in meaning, it does so by initiating productive displacement. Yoshio Kimura is an outstanding performance artist, his works not only exist in the twentieth century Asian music, also will be like our country masterpiece " lofty mountains and flowing water ", as works of the European classical music Beethoven, Schubert, Tchaikovsky and other musicians, always exist in the eternal love of thousands of households. Some people say: Kimura's performances have become a common memory of the times. So later Kimura chose to play folk songs which were more suitable for the Japanese national character, and won the whole of Japan, Southeast Asia and even the people of the world's favorite. But this kind of music is over passion and exposed personality, which is not in accord with the features of Japanese contained, introverted temperament.
