Side by Side: Nihonmachi Scenes

Seattle’s pre-WWII nihonmachi, or Japantown, looked very different than it does today.
In the decade before the war, three Issei artists flourished in the thriving Japanese community before the mass incarceration changed the face of the neighborhood forever. Kamekichi Tokita (1897-1948), Kenjiro Nomura (1896-1956), and Takuichi Fujii (1891-1964) received widespread recognition and praise for their paintings, which provide an intimate view of what nihonmachi’s familiar streets, alleys, storefronts, and houses looked like before the war.
In the American post-war years, the three artists fell into obscurity as the Japanese community struggled to rebuild their lives, but recently their life stories and artistic achievements have gradually been brought back to light. Side By Side features their work from the 1930s during the height of their artistic recognition and is the largest exhibition featuring the three artists’ work.

Fishing is Hilary Hutcheson’s life, and before she knew it, her career. But, by her own admission, she overlooked opportunities to learn about her heritage as a Japanese American to focus on being on the water. So when motherhood sparked a curiosity to learn more about herself and her family, she sought out a distant relative in Seattle with a shared love of fishing.
As she peels back the layers of her own identity, she learns about Seattle Tengu Club, the oldest salmon fishing club in the United States. By exploring the club’s creation and its enduring legacy, Hilary confronts pieces of unexposed history, revealing the aftermath of WWII and the internment camps for thousands of Japanese American families.
Film is approximately 30 minutes.
