SUMMARY:Ireicho National Tour 2025-2026
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Names National Monument for the WWII Japanese American Incarceration National Tour 2025-2026\nOn February 18\, 2025\, we launched an ambitious effort to bring the Ireichō\, a book monument containing the names of 125\,284 individuals of Japanese ancestry unjustly incarcerated during World War II\, to different camps and communities throughout the US.\nThe tour kicked off at the National Archives/Navy Memorial Visitors’ Center in Washington DC\, where the Book of Names was displayed alongside the original copy of Executive Order 9066. The 100-year old Masaharu Ishii stamped his sister’s name in the Ireichō to officially kick off the national tour which continued with stamping opportunities to commemorate the Day of Remembrance at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History from February 19-21\, 2025. \n\nNamed after the Japanese term for “consoling the spirits\,” the Ireichō monument honors both those who have gone before us as well as those who carry on the memories and legacies of forced removal\, unjust incarceration\, and family separation. Every visitor to the monument is invited to contribute to the creation of the monument by marking one or more names in the Ireichō with a blue hanko stamp. For many camp survivors and descendants\, leaving this mark has been a way to honor the personhood of a family member who suffered the indignities and losses of the wartime incarceration. \n\nYou are the monument to this history. By participating in the stamping of the book during the national tour\, you\, too\, become part of the permanent record of the names and the honoring of them. The tour will run to late summer 2026\, when the Ireichō will be formally gifted to the Japanese American National Museum by the Irei Project. JANM is our partner for the national tour\, as part of JANM on the Go.

SUMMARY:Lost & Found: Searching for Home
DESCRIPTION:Through September 14\, 2026. This exhibition explores the complex relationship between place and belonging through the lens of Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) identity. In this exhibit\, artists unpack attempts to reconnect with their cultural homelands\, through both physical and emotional journeys\, to answer the timeless question: where and what defines “Home”? \nExpressed in a variety of media including painting\, video and installations\, this uniquely AANHPI perspective inspires conversation to both empower and challenge our perceptions of home and highlight the challenges to finding belonging in diaspora. The exhibition features captivating work from a diverse range of artists including including Eric Chan / 陳志宇 / 진지유\, Lauren Iida\, Ravleen Kaur\, and Kyler Pahang.

SUMMARY:DISplace
DESCRIPTION:June 13\, 2025 to January 4\, 2027. \nCo-curated by Native Hawaiian artist and kapa-maker\, Lehuauakea\, and artist and educator\, Kanani Miyamoto\, this exhibition sheds light on the often-overlooked histories and movement of people who connect Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Northwest since the arrival of the first documented Native Hawaiians to the West Coast in 1787. \nDISplace features visual art by regional Native Hawaiian creatives\, family stories and ephemera\, historic photographs\, and archival objects to honor these histories and reclaim the narrative through the voices of families and individual descendants today. \nThe co-curators\, both members of the mixed-Native Hawaiian diaspora\, draw parallels between their lived experiences and those of others who have relocated or have ties to the Pacific Northwest\, contextualized by a larger timeline of significant historical events. \n‘Dis place’ — this place — is a nod to the pride and resilience of these communities in the face of displacement from their original homelands. DISplace is a crucial step in recovering and celebrating these important AAPI (Asian American/Pacific Islander) histories while building an ongoing narrative of collective resilience and growing legacy no matter where we call home.

SUMMARY:Mukai Kizoku Ishiki Obon Festival
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 9\, 2025. A “Kizoku Ishiki Obon” celebration will be hosted at the Vashon Cemetery Saturday\, August 9th\, noon to 5 p.m. Kizoku Ishiki means a deep sense of belonging and Obon is the annual festival to appreciate our ancestors\, our indebtedness to others and joyfully dance. This free and fun cultural event will include dance\, art displays\, walking tours\, picnicking\, performances and more. Kizoku Ishiki Obon will honor and learn about our Asian immigrant ancestors and recognize our Black\, Indigenous\, and immigrant ancestors buried at the Vashon Cemetery. For information\, visit www.vashoncemetery.org. \nObon is a joyful Asian festival of remembrance traditionally celebrated in July and August. In many cultural traditions\, ancestral veneration remains deeply ingrained in daily life. These communal celebrations maintain a connection to the past and seek guidance from ancestors concerning health\, agriculture and community. Fresh food\, family activities and community connection are integral to Obon celebrations. \nA Bon Odori Buddhist folk dance is often performed during these festivals. It provides an opportunity to celebrate and honor an ancestor’s life with “okagesama de” – a Japanese saying meaning I am because of you. It is an expression of gratitude for those that have gone before us. Festival attendees will be invited to join these simple communal Bon Odori line dances. \nThe Vashon celebration will include special performances\, including traditional Japanese music by Minyo members and Koto no Wa; poetry by author\, lawyer and activist Troy Osaki\, classical harp by Vanessa Stovall and dani tirrells’ Congregation\, with dance excerpts from Elysium (afterlife). \nMembers from The Vashon Heritage Museum and Mukai Farm and Garden will be located throughout the grounds to share information about families buried at the cemetery. There will be guided walking tours highlighting the cemetery trees\, including the recently planted cherry tree from the Vashon Island Fruit Club’s “100 Cherry Trees Project”. On display will be cultural crafts and a Friendship Bench with the Aunties. \nAugust 9th is the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. The Vashon Obon will commemorate this terrible event by offering a special peace procession of costumed dancers in a siege of herons during the Obon celebration. Local artist\, Chantal Uto designed the heron costumes which were commissioned by the Wild Wood Foundation. \nEstablished in 1977\, the King County Cemetery District #1 is a public owned cemetery district located on Vashon Island. Part of their mission includes ensuring that the cemetery grounds reflect the character and traditions of Vashon-Maury Island\, both historic and present. \nKintsugi Somatic Art\, event organizer\, is founded and directed by multi-disciplinary artist and social justice activist\, Leah Okamoto Mann. “Kintsugi” is a Japanese concept which means mend with gold. It is the art of repairing broken things\, traditionally pottery or glass. It is also a metaphor for human resiliency and recovery. \nFor event information\, visit the Vashon Cemetery District #1 website at www.vashoncemetery.org.
