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: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:Lost & Found: Searching for Home
DESCRIPTION:Through September 14\, 2026. This exhibition explores the complex relationship between place and belonging through the lens of Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) identity. In this exhibit\, artists unpack attempts to reconnect with their cultural homelands\, through both physical and emotional journeys\, to answer the timeless question: where and what defines “Home”? \nExpressed in a variety of media including painting\, video and installations\, this uniquely AANHPI perspective inspires conversation to both empower and challenge our perceptions of home and highlight the challenges to finding belonging in diaspora. The exhibition features captivating work from a diverse range of artists including including Eric Chan / 陳志宇 / 진지유\, Lauren Iida\, Ravleen Kaur\, and Kyler Pahang.

SUMMARY:KINTSUKUROI Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 28 and Saturday\, March 29\, 2025. The JCCCW has partnered with Ikeibi Films to bring the film Kintsukuroi to Seattle! This emotional film shares the injustices and hardships experienced by Japanese American families as their lives were forever changed by the signing of Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Join two families from California on their journeys as they are forced to leave their homes and taken to the concentration camps. Some of the families’ members eventually find themselves on the European battlefront to join the war effort as part of the now legendary 442nd Regimental Combat Team\, composed almost entirely of Nisei and the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. \nThe film will be screened twice in the last week of March. Each screening will be followed by a Q & A session with members of the cast and crew\, such as producers Kerwin Berk and Samantha Takizawa\, along with David Kiyoshi Tom – the actor for Mr. Ibata and a UW alumni! \nThe first screening will be held at the University of Washington Architecture Hall\, Room ARC 147 on Friday\, March 28th. Doors open at 6 PM and the film will start at 7 PM. The second will be held at the historic Nippon Kan Theater on Saturday\, March 29th. Doors open at 4 PM and a small reception will be held prior to the film’s screening\, beginning at 5 PM. Tickets are selling fast and must be purchased in advance\, so don’t delay! \nSupport for the film screenings provided through a George and Sakaye Aratani CARE (Community Advancement Research Endowment) Award.

SUMMARY:Densho Mobile Collections Event
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 30\, 2025. Calling All Legacy Families: Bring Your WWII-Era Photos and Heirlooms to the Densho Mobile Collections Event. Densho\, in partnership with the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial\, has arranged to bring its new mobile collections team to Bainbridge Island for an afternoon of scanning and documenting historical photos and heirlooms to be added to the Densho Digital Archives and the BIJAC Collection for inclusion in the telling of our island’s Japanese American history. \n\nFamilies may bring as many as 20 items to scan. Please sign up to reserve your spot and receive follow-up information.\nAcceptable items for day-of scanning include: photographs (no rolled photos)\, letters\, documents (between 1 to 10 pages long)\, and small artifacts (no larger than 20 inch cubed or 12 inches cubed). In general\, we are looking for items related to immigration\, pre-war Bainbridge Island\, the incarceration and forced removal\, and the immediate post-war return.\nItems that we cannot scan day-of\,  but that we would be interested in scanning at Densho’s office in Seattle: photo albums\, documents (containing more than 10 pages)\, scrapbooks\, journals\, diaries\, and community directories and yearbooks. We look for topics related to all aspects of the Japanese American experience\, from immigration to redress/reparations and activism.\nDensho is available to host a virtual meeting to answer questions in advance of the event. Please sign up if you are interested.\nEach family will receive complimentary digital files of their items. These will be delivered approximately one month after the event.\nContributors must sign a Photo and Document release form in order to share their collection in the Densho Digital Repository and BIJAC Collection.\n\n
