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:Looking Back Looking Forward
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 24\, 2025. The Wing Luke Museum invites the community to “Looking Forward\, Looking Back”. Together\, we’ll honor the past\, engage with the present\, and shape the future of the Eng Family homestead parking lot. \nIn 2023\, the Museum acquired the site from the Eng family to steward the homestead as part of its immersive educational programming and extend its exhibits into the community. The homestead was one of the last remaining intact single-family homes in the C-ID and an inspiring symbol of resilience\, resourcefulness\, and quiet resistance in the face of redlining laws prevalent at the time. The original home is being preserved\, however\, the parking lot is currently being assessed for alternative\, creative uses. \n\n\n\nJoin us in Canton Alley\, from King Street to 611 8th Ave. South\, for interactive activities\, art making\, refreshments\, and more—including discussions with urban planners and an opportunity to share your vision through a community survey. \nFollow the Museum’s social media for updates\, and learn more about the Eng family homestead here.
