SUMMARY:BENKYODO: The Last Manju Shop in J-Town
DESCRIPTION:Sun\, Feb 25th\, 1:00 PM @ Northwest Film Forum T1 \nAvailable February 26\, 12:00 AM – March 3\, 11:59 PM\, 2024] Stream online… \nRicky and Bobby Okamura\, the current owners of Benkyodo mochi shop\, established in 1906\, make a difficult decision to close their family business. The 115 year old Japanese pastry shop\, a landmark for Japanese/Asian Americans in the Bay Area\, is one of two mochi shops currently open in the San Francisco-Bay Area. The unsurmountable economic pressure\, coupled with the two brother’s desire to preserve their Japanese heritage\, family business and community space\, create an age-old conflict many children of diaspora face–between the laborious preservation of culture or the submission to the economic forces of racial capitalism.

SUMMARY:Japanese American Stories from Omoide
DESCRIPTION:February 25\, 2024   2:00pm to 4:00pm and 5:00pm to 7:00pm \nIn partnership with the Japanese Cultural & Community Center of Washington\, Seattle Rep will host two readings by the incredible members of the Omoide Writing Group as they share the stories of generations of Japanese Americans in the Seattle area. From immigration to incarceration to innovation\, Japanese Americans have played a vital role in defining our region and shaping Washington’s culture and history. Through their stories\, we will explore different facets of heritage values in the face of unique challenges and endless resilience. \nABOUT OMOIDE\nTo date\, the Omoide (memories) team has helped dozens of people to preserve their own stories through by holding monthly writing workshops\, publishing five Omoide books for children containing stories from Omoide contributors\, and sharing their stories with several thousand students\, teachers\, and members of the general public over the past 30 years. \nThese personal accounts of the Japanese experience in the Pacific Northwest have become a springboard for open dialog and discussions of constitutional rights\, personal history and identity\, immigrant experiences in the United States\, the generational impacts of racism and discrimination\, multicultural issues\, and much more. \nOmoide is a program of the Japanese Cultural & Community Center of Washington\, and is led by a group of volunteers who help coach\, critique\, and edit writing workshop participants. Their first volume of stories\, Omoide I\, was published in 1993. Currently\, the group is working on and collecting stories for Omoide VI. \nIf you’re interested in joining the Omoide Writing Group\, contributing stories\, or a speaking presentation\, please contact deegoto@gmail.com.
