Mr. Akihito “Aki” Mukawa began his career on Yokota nearly 28 years ago when he started working at AMC, spurred on by a desire to learn and practice English. After six years there, Mr. Mukawa sought new opportunities at the Post Office as the Financial Clerk. That was 22 years ago, and he has remained a dedicated and invaluable employee for the entirety of his career. His duties now exceed that of a Financial Clerk and he is
also a COPE, or Custodian of Postal Effects. In his dayto-day routine, Mr. Mukawa provides customer service, tracks the stamp supply and maintains and manages postal systems. “The systems are always changing,” he recalls, “We used to use a floppy disc. It was terrible and always crashed. But now, it’s an online system, so it’s getting easier.” Working at the Post Office over the years has given Aki-san the opportunity to meet many of Yokota’s personnel, and he looks forward to continued service in the community.

The spookiest season has come to Yokota, and there’s no shortage of FSS events to kick off the fall festivities! The House of Torment, Halloween Booo-ling and the Spooky Halloween run are just a few of the celebrations, but why do we celebrate Halloween in the first place? The history of Halloween is a web woven of numerous cultures. Its early beginnings are found in Celtic culture over 2,000 years ago, and the more recent traditions of trick-or-treating didn’t first appear until the 1940s and 50s.
The origins of Halloween span centuries and have morphed the holiday into a cultural phenom that generates over $10 billion annually. So what exactly is Halloween, and why do we spend October 31st in costumes?
Though the specific nature of the event still eludes us, we know that the Celtic people held the festival of Samhain (pronounced sah-win). Roughly translated to “summer’s end,” Samhain was a sort of New Year’s celebration that was honored on November 1, marking the end of the harvest season. The community took this time to prepare for the winter, when the relentless, harsh and cold weather was often associated with death. It was believed that on October 31, the ghosts of the dead would revisit earth. The Celts expected these unruly ghosts to interfere with and damage their crops, and it was thought that their presence gave Druids (Celtic priests) a strengthened psychic ability. Traditionally, the Druids would create bonfires to honor Samhain and the Celts would dress up in animal heads and skins. These practices were thought to protect them throughout the winter, which was important to a civilization that was entirely dependent on the unpredictable weather and world around them.
Eventually, the Celts were conquered by the Romans. During their 400-year rule, they also established their own festivals that bled into the traditions of Samhain. Feralia was a day in late October to respect the passing of the dead, and they also had a day of Pomona, which honored the goddess of fruit and trees. It is suspected that this is where we got the Halloween tradition of bobbing for apples.
Eventually, Christianity made its way into the Roman-ruled Celtic lands and with it, the holiday of All Saints’ Day, or All-Hallows. All-Hallows, like Samhain and Feralia, honored the dead, specifically the deaths of martyrs and saints. Similarly to the Samhain traditions, All Saints’ Day was celebrated with bonfires and costumes, and participants would don the dress of angels and devils. The night before the festivities began was called All-Hallows Eve, which then turned into the name Halloween.
Halloween trickled into America along with the Pilgrims, though the strict Protestant beliefs meant that it was primarily celebrated in Maryland and the southern colonies. European traditions mixed with Native American customs and a uniquely American Halloween emerged. The first Halloween festivities included parties to celebrate the harvest, ghost stories and dancing. In the late 19th century, millions of Irish immigrants fled the Irish Potato Famine and entered the United States, and the influx of the Irish culture widely popularized Halloween.
As the holiday became customary in the United States, Americans began to participate in European traditions, dressing up in costumes and visiting houses to ask for food or money, which turned into what is now known as trick-or-treating. Over time, ghosts, ghouls and goblins have permeated the holiday, with folklore and superstition giving way to various modern traditions. What began thousands of years ago as a Celtic festival is now an American cultural giant, generating billions of dollars in revenue for costume and candy companies. One quarter of all candy sold in the United States is sold at Halloween, and the pet costume industry has rocketed to an all-time high, with Americans spending $490 million on pet costumes alone. It may be a far cry from Samhain, but the spirit of the holiday has held fast throughout the centuries.
It’s estimated that 65% of Americans will participate in Halloween this year. If you’re looking for a way to join the festivities, the FSS has you covered. Check out the full list of FSS events on page 17, and we look forward to seeing your scariest, spookiest costumes!
Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO world heritage site, is famous for their traditional “gassho-zukuri” style farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old. Gasshozukuri means “constructed like hands in prayer,” and is aptly named as the farmhouses’ steep thatched roofs resemble two hands pressed together. The architectural style was developed over many generations and is designed to withstand the large amounts of snowfall the region is prone to during the winter. The roofs provide a large attic space used for storing grains, vegetables and cultivating silkworms. Hida Takayama is a city in the mountainous Hida region of Gifu Prefecture and has retained a traditional touch of a historical Japanese town, especially in its beautifully preserved “old town.” The area has been beautifully preserved, with buildings and even entire streets of houses still standing. These structures date back to the Edo Period (1600-1868), when the city thrived as a wealthy merchant town. Kanazawa city grew to become a town of great cultural achievement, rivaling Kyoto and Edo (Tokyo) during the Edo Period. From 1583 to the end of the Edo Period, Kanazawa Castle was the seat of the powerful Maeda Clan, ranking second to the Tokugawa Shogunate in terms of size, wealth and power. The castle burned down several times over the centuries, and the most recent fire of 1881 left only two storehouses and the Ishikawa-mon Gate standing. During World War II, Kanazawa was fortunate enough to escape
destruction by air raids. Parts of the old castle town, such as the Nagamachi Samurai and Higashi Chaya Districts, have survived in impressive condition. Today, Kanazawa remains an important city in its region and serves as the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture. The city boasts many historical attractions, restored residences and districts. Kanazawa’s main attraction is the Kenrokuen Garden, which used to be the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle and is considered as one of Japan’s “three best landscaped gardens,” regarded by many as the most beautiful of them all.
