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:The Tengu Club Documentary
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAs 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. \nFilm is approximately 30 minutes. \nYETI Presents | The Tengu Club – YouTube

SUMMARY:Side by Side: Nihonmachi Scenes
DESCRIPTION:August 16\, 2024 through May 11\, 2025. \nSeattle’s pre-WWII nihonmachi\, or Japantown\, looked very different than it does today. \nIn 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. \nIn 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.

SUMMARY:Japanese American Remembrance Trail Tour
DESCRIPTION:February to April on select Saturdays. \nIn the early 1900s\, Seattle’s Japantown —Nihonmachi — stretched from 4th Avenue South to 23rd Avenue South\, a bustling enclave of family homes and independently owned shops\, grocery stores\, and entertainment venues. In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor came Executive Order 9066 in 1942\, which forced all persons of Japanese ancestry into concentration camps – Nihonmachi never fully recovered. This walking tour takes visitors through the past and present Nihonmachi.

SUMMARY:Seattle Betsuin Arson Restoration Fund
DESCRIPTION:As of January 11\, 2024: \nOne week has passed since the arson and the second fire. As the initial shock from the fire and its aftermath gradually diminishes within the Arson Restoration Project Committee (ARPC)\, we acknowledge the challenge of envisioning the current state of the temple. Please be assured that the ARPC is diligently working towards restoring the Seattle Betsuin. \nThe temple remains closed and off-limits to everyone. However\, the temple is still operating remotely and is available by email at office@seattlebetsuin.org. Meanwhile\, our dedicated professional clean-up crew is actively involved in efforts to restore both accessibility and safety. Given the restricted access\, a comprehensive assessment of the damage is yet to be completed. \nWe deeply appreciate the generous Dana (giving) received during this challenging time. The overwhelming support we have garnered for the restoration project is truly humbling\, and the encouragement from the community plays a pivotal role in rebuilding the temple. \nAs transparency is paramount to us\, we are committed to keeping you informed. Updates will be provided as we gather more information regarding the temple’s status.

SUMMARY:Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence
DESCRIPTION:October 19\, 2023 to January 21\, 2024 \nThanks to the popularity of the instantly recognizable Great Wave—cited everywhere from book covers to Lego sets\, anime\, and even an emoji—Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) has become one of the most famous Japanese artists in the world. Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence explores the fascinating life and enduring legacy of this trailblazing master by pairing more than 100 of his woodblock prints\, paintings\, and illustrated books alongside more than 200 works by his teachers\, students\, rivals\, and admirers. This new approach to presenting Hokusai’s work demonstrates the artist’s impact through centuries and around the globe\, on artists including Yoshitomo Nara\, Chiho Aoshima\, and Helen Frankenthaler.
