Drawing on Japanese American experiences in Hawai‘i to honor our heritage and educate our diverse community
To be a vibrant resource, strengthening our diverse community by educating present and future generations in the evolving Japanese American experience in Hawai‘i. We do this through relevant programming, meaningful community service and innovative partnerships that enhance the understanding and celebration of our heritage, culture and love of the land. To guide us in this work we draw from the values found in our Japanese American traditions and the spirit of Aloha.
We strive to share the history, heritage and culture of Hawai‘i’s Japanese Americans, from the first immigrants to the present, through the education of all generations and the preservation of cultural traditions, meaningful experiences, and a large collection of resource materials.
