SUMMARY:Post War WWII Life in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 13\, 2025. Curtis Wong asked his father a simple question: “What did you do in the War?” His father Wayne pointed to a dark green wooden footlocker under the house which was covered in 50+ years of dust. \nThat was the beginning of the discovery. Once opened\, Curtis found cameras\, unexposed 35mm film and dozens of images of Japanese people and American soldiers. There were also photos of the remains of the World War II firebombing outside of Tokyo. As a Chinese American soldier in the Signal Corps during the Occupation\, Wong masterfully captured ordinary postwar life. \nJoin Curtis Wong (MOHAI Board Member)\, Devorah Romanek (MOHAI Chief of Exhibits and Interpretive Services)\, and Leonard Garfield (MOHAI Executive Director) for a discussion of Wayne Wong’s collection and the lessons we can learn from it today. \nFollowing the presentation\, Team Obscura (Asa Symons\, Caiya Wiltshire\, Hridae Walia\, and Nick Hallin) will immerse audience members in the photographic perspective of Wayne Wong\, presenting a personalized\, evolving documentary experience. The “Portola Obscura”\, a retrofitted VR headset\, tracks an individual user’s gaze\, using positional metadata to chart a narrative trajectory through Wayne’s images. The resulting documentary is then overlaid with the user’s gaze and projected to a wider audience\, offering insight into how others perceive and interpret images. \nTickets for this program are free\, but do not include access to MOHAI’s exhibitions. If you would like to see all that MOHAI has to offer during your visit\, you can purchase museum admission here. \nASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition\, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support\, email programs@mohai.org two weeks before the program.

SUMMARY:People and Places Will Not Be Erased
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 23\, 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn August 23\, the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) will hold an in-person Day of Action for advocates to speak up on behalf of America’s national parks\, and as a partner org\, we invite you to join us. You can RSVP here. \nOur event will place special emphasis on the five designated park sites where Japanese Americans were incarcerated: Manzanar\, Minidoka\, Tule Lake\, Amache and Honouliuli National Historic Site. Just across the water\, Bainbridge Island was the first place Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to confinement sites that are now at risk of erasure. America must not risk repeating its mistakes by censoring the lessons these sites teach. \nCome listen to speakers\, wave signs and demonstrate solidarity with our national parks and cultural sites protected within the National Park System. Together we’ll tell members of Congress to protect every park – big and small. \nAfter the event\, the Wing Luke Museum will lead a walk down the Japanese American Remembrance Trail. Please RSVP to reserve your spot on the tour! \nOur national parks represent a promise to preserve nature and history there for generations to come. That promise is being broken with dramatic funding cuts\, staff reductions and attempts to dramatically alter the historical narratives at our parks. Cancelling park funding\, rescinding grants to historical and cultural preservation organizations\, firing park staff and removing informational materials at parks amounts to a concerted effort to erase some of the most important stories told at our national parks. \nWHAT: Protect Every Park Gathering – Solidarity with Japanese American Incarceration Sites \nWHEN: Saturday\, August 23\, 10 – 11:30 a.m. PT\, program at 10:15 a.m. \nWHERE: Seattle Waterfront Park – Overlook Walk\, 1505 Alaskan Way\, Seattle\, WA 98101. Walk down the stairs from Old Stove Brewing at Pike Place Market or walk past the temporary parking spots near the Pike Place Market Parking Garage Entrance until you see our group. \nWHO: Speakers include Bainbridge Island City Council  member Clarence Moriwaki\, Executive Director with the Asian American and Asian & Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation Huy Pham\, and artist and advocate Erin Shigaki representing Tsuru for Solidarity and the this committee. Added support from the Wing Luke Museum and NPCA. \nThere are events planned around the country\, so if you aren’t in Seattle\, please find one here!

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.
