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: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.

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: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:Mochi Tsuki Festival
DESCRIPTION:1/6/2024 – Join the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community (BIJAC) at the annual Mochi Tsuki Festival. \nHighlights include performances from the acclaimed Seattle taiko drum group Kokon Taiko\, a mochi making presentation\, and a pictoral history of the award-winning exhibit “Kodomo No Tameni – For the sake of the children.” \nBIJAC members will prepare some batches of mochi in the centuries-old method of first steaming the sweet rice over an open fire\, then placing the cooked rice into a warm stone or concrete bowl called an usu. Using large wooden mallets\, two people rhythmically pound the rice in the usu\, while with bare hands a third person swiftly moves the rice between each mallet crash. \nAfter several minutes of vigorous pounding\, the rice becomes a thick\, smooth dough – mochi. From manual pounding in the usu or special mochi-making appliances\, the mochi is removed and children of all ages hand form the steaming-hot mochi into small handball-sized cakes\, filling some of them with a sweet bean paste called ahn. \nWhile arguably mochi is best eaten hot and fresh\, many enjoy roasting it in the oven\, then dipping the puffy and crisp hot mochi cakes into a combination of sugar and soy sauce. For future enjoyment\, mochi can be frozen in airtight bags. \nYou can experience the tradition of mochi tsuki (moe–chee sue–key) or “mochi–making” first hand. Pound rice and make mochi cakes along with the mochi masters. \nThis event is free and no pre-registration is required.

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.

SUMMARY:Japan Week
DESCRIPTION:This will be our 7th annual JAPAN WEEK @ Bellevue College. We are excited to announce that this will be the first Japan Week since 2019 that is hosted fully on-campus! It only seems fitting that the 7th Japan Week’s Kanji was selected to be… \n\n\nFuku (Calligraphy by BC student\, Yurie Hara)\n\n…. “Fortune”. Since this is our 7th annual event\, the first thing that came to our mind was the 七福神 (Shichi Fuku Jin\, the Seven Lucky Gods). In Japanese cultures as well as many cultures around the world\, seven is regarded as a lucky number. As this year’s kanji indicates that despite all our challenges\, we hope everyone will have a fortunate year. We should all take time to notice and celebrate the good fortune around us.
