SUMMARY:Queer Reflections
DESCRIPTION:Queer Reflections at Peace Gallery\n  \nNJAHS invites visitors to examine how we see and remember this Summer in the Peace Gallery\, on Now until August 5\, Queer Reflections asks about or memories\, perceptions and what we see in ourselves an others. \nFeaturing Midori (美登里) and Tina Kashiwagi the exhibit examines perception and memory. \n  \nTwo scrolls from Midori’s Evoco Project are artifacts of memory created in originally with an incident\, the creation sometimes public often private where guests are asked to enjoy the moment and creation as live performance is transformed into scrolls that represent both the moment\, and the memories of that moment. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTina Kashiwagi’s search for mt. fuji renders abstract what is normally a cliched image of Japanese tourism culture\, Mt. Fuji at once iconic of Japan\, symbol of the culture of Japanese tourism and its shifting of the rest of Japanese culture.  In this video piece Kashiwagi uses the technology through which we now consume culture to render distorted one of the most recognizable landscapes on the planet\, and asks us what are we actually looking at?

SUMMARY:Enemy Alien Files: Hidden Stories of WWII at Angel Island State Park
DESCRIPTION:LAST DAY At ANGEL ISLAND SUNDAY January 29 \nThe National Japanese American Historical Society is happy to say that Enemy Alien Files: Hidden Stories of World War II has been extended at Angel Island State Park at the Angel Island Immigration Station until the end of January. \n\n\nThe Enemy Alien Files: Hidden Stories of World War II exhibit presents the experience of Italians\, Germans and Japanese immigrants in the US and from Latin America during WWII. It explores the treatment of over 31\,000 “enemy aliens” including their exclusion\, forced removal\, internment\, use in prisoner exchanges\, and deportation. The exhibit experience reminds us of the fragile nature of our constitutional and human rights in times of international and domestic crisis as well as the human impact of government policies in the name of “national security.” \n\nProduced in cooperation with the German American Internee Coalition\, Italian American Studies Association: Western Regional Chapter\, and the Japanese Peruvian Oral History Project and made possible by a grant from the National Parks Service\, Japanese American Confinement Site Grant Program.

SUMMARY:THE SUITCASE PROJECT at the NJAHS Peace Gallery- Due to Covid-19 our office is closed
DESCRIPTION:THE SUITCASE PROJECT\nBy Kayla Isomura\nWhat would you pack if forcibly removed from your home today? \nThe Suitcase Project is a multimedia exhibition asking yonsei and gosei (fourth and fifth generation) Japanese Canadians and Americans what they would pack if uprooted from their homes in a moment’s notice. \nWhile these descendants of the internment and incarceration may never have to endure the same forced uprooting as their ancestors\, Kayla Isomura’s work examines how they\, and those descended from families who experienced other forms of discrimination\, remain affected by this history today. More than 80 subjects ranging in age and background share their stories from cities in British Columbia\, Canada and Washington\, US through a series of photographs\, short films and interviews. \n\nClick here for more information\n \n\n\n\nWhere: National Japanese American Historical Society Peace Gallery 1684 Post Street. San Francisco\, CA. 94115 \nFebruary 1\, 2020 – July 18\, 2020 \nOpen Monday – Friday\, 12:00pm – 5:00pm And First Saturdays of the Month\, 12:00pm – 5:00pm

SUMMARY:NEW! DISLOCATION & DIVERGENCE: E. O. 9066 at the MIS Historic Learning Center
DESCRIPTION:NEW INSTALLATION- Dislocation & Divergence: Causes & Consequences of E.O. 9066\nat the MIS Historic Learning Center\n2020\nNJAHS presents 3 new wall-installations capturing 5 episodes of World War II: War Clouds Brewing\, America Enters the War\, Exclusion & Removal\, Hidden Truths\, Hidden Treasures\nThis completes a two & a half year exhibition project funded in part by grants from the Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant program administered by the National Park Service and the JA Community Foundation and CA Civil Liberties Public Education Program.\nThe period scenarios with artifacts allow for an intimate “walk back in time\,” matched with IPAD pro interactive technology which allows for a “deeper” dive into the analysis of what happened and why. There’s a new addition that looks at the discovery of key evidence from the 1980’s coram nobis legal cases of Korematsu\, Yasui\, & Hirabayashi which revealed suppression of evidence\, a cover up\, and fraud upon the Supreme Court. Step inside and discover!\n                    \n                           \n9-19-2018: The National Japanese American Historical Society announced the completion of a simulated horse stall barrack for its Dislocation and Divergence new installation at the MIS Historic Learning Center\, located at Crissy Field in the Presidio of San Francisco. The mock-up replicates the WWII experience of some 110\,000 Japanese Americans forcibly removed from their homes due to military orders pursuant to the signing of Executive Order 9066.\nReal Stories\nAccording to project director Rosalyn Tonai\, “We decided to introduce audiences to the compelling experiences of two families\, one of famed artist and essayist Miné Okubo\, and the other of MIS First Class Nisei soldier Tsuneo Gary Kadani.” Miné Okubo\, in her illustrated publication Citizen 13660\, relays her personal removal and incarceration with painstaking detail to a horse stall at Tanforan “Assembly” Center\, in San Bruno\, California.  “We wanted to replicate the cramped quarters and the sense of humiliation felt by the author\, according to Tonai. In addition\, the plight of Gary Kadani’s parents are revealed in his oral history excerpts compiled in First Class: Nisei Linguists of World War II\, Origins of the Military Intelligence Service Language Program of World War II (David Swift\, Jr.\, NJAHS\, 2008).\n\nTsuneo Gary Kadani was an early enlistee into the US Army. A month prior to Pearl Harbor\, he was assigned to the top secret US Army intelligence school at the Presidio of San Francisco in preparation for war against Japan. When WWII broke out\, he along with 59 other MIS servicemen continued their studies at the Presidio while their families were subjected to curfew and forcibly removed from their home\, and incarcerated in makeshift\, hastily built barracks and horse stalls in fairgrounds and racetracks.  Gary disobeyed curfew\, and drove to see his parents at the Salinas fairgrounds. His famous quote at the front of the display recounts his feelings that day “Then came the saddest day of my life…They wouldn’t let me into the camp. My parents were sleeping in a horse stall! It smelled so bad\, they couldn’t sleep\, so my mother asked me to get all the Clorox I could find.”  A vintage 1940’s brown glass Clorox bleach bottle helps depict the circumstances in which many Japanese Americans found themselves.\nReal Objects & Evidence\nAdding to the overall visitor experience is Miné Okubo’s illustrations from Citizen 13660. The visitor can follow along\, seeing Miné’s camp life depictions and reading excerpts of her journal\, through digital displays on an iPadPro. Interwoven into the pages of Citizen 13660 are National Archives photographs of life in repurposed horse stalls and barracks of Tanforan\, Santa Anita\, and Salinas “Assembly Centers.” The iPad also helps guide audiences to explore the stories behind real camp artifacts on display inside the horse stall barrack\, many of them\, personal items belonging for former inmates. Some featured objects include Ken Nihei’s US Army-issued military green wool blanket laid over a hay-stuffed mattress\, personal shaving kit\, 4 year old Pat Kimura’s of Maryknoll Children’s Home child’s suitcase\, a diaper pail\, and a pair of mud- caked hand-carved Japanese wooden clogs (geta).\n \nSupplementing the Horse stall barrack display is a comprehensive Camp Map of where Japanese Americans were incarcerated. The map includes the ten War Relocation Authority centers\, the fifteen “Assembly Centers – the temporary detention facilities.as well as the numerous Department of Justice internment camps for Japanese immigrants deemed “enemy aliens.” \n\n\nPerseverance\n\n“We wanted to show how some inmates coped within the stifling conditions of their confinement\,” noted Tonai. While many were subjected to family separations due to the earlier FBI raids\, and met with unhealthy conditions of open sewers\, others tried to find solace relying on friends and community. Among the few belongings of only what they could carry\, many Issei women stashed their vegetable garden seeds into their pockets. In time\, little front porch “victory” gardens would sprout along the stoops of barracks. Later\, inmates were moved again in six months to the permanent camps in desolate regions of the US. Despite the trauma\, children would find time to play\, collect and trade marbles. One former incarceree\, Toru Saito\, rediscovered his prized marbles buried beneath the silt desert floor where the stoop of his barrack once stood. Toru’s marbles and his story of survival are on display.\nThe horse stall barrack replica of the Dislocation and Divergence new installation is now on display at the Military Intelligence Historic Learning Center\, at the Presidio of San Francisco\, Building 640\, 640 Mason Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94129. The interpretative center is open to the public. General admission is $10. Admission is free to veterans\, NJAHS members\, and children 12 and under. Free education programs are available to teachers. The project has been funded by a grant from the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program\, administered by the California State Library and the JA Community Foundation.\nMarye Kimoto\nKaoru Ito\nMiho Endo Ohashi\n\n###

SUMMARY:ONLY THE OAKS REMAIN - Story of Tuna Canyon Detention Station
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: June 9\, 2018 – January 31\, 2019 from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM\n\n\n\nLocation: 640 Old Mason St\, Presidio of San Francisco\, CA 94129 \n\nOpening Reception: June 10\, 2018 from 12:00 – 2:00 pm \n\n\nAdmission free with program attendance.\nFeaturing speakers Nancy Oda\, Grace Shimizu\, and Larry DiStasi with perspectives on the WWII Department of Justice internment experience. \nThis traveling exhibit will be open from June 9\, 2018 to January 31\, 2019. \nOnly the Oaks Remain: The Story of Tuna Canyon Detention Station tells the true stories of those targeted as dangerous enemy aliens and imprisoned in the Tuna Canyon Detention Station\, located in the Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles\, by the US Department of Justice during World War II. Rare artifacts such as photographs\, letters\, and diaries bring the experiences of prisoners—who included Japanese\, German\, and Italian immigrants and extradited Japanese Peruvians—to life. \nDuring the decade before World War II\, the US government compiled lists of people they saw as potential risks to national security. When the war began\, Presidential Proclamations 2525\, 2526\, and 2527 authorized the FBI and other agencies to arrest such individuals—mostly spiritual\, educational\, business\, and community leaders from the Japanese\, German\, and Italian immigrant communities. The government also rounded up Japanese and other individuals who had previously been forcibly removed from Latin America. \nFollowing the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7\, 1941\, the US Department of Justice took over a vacated Civilian Conservation Corps camp in the Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles and converted it into a detention station by installing twelve-foot-high barbed wire fences\, guard posts\, and flood lights. The Tuna Canyon Detention Station became one of many initial confinement sites set up by the government. Targeted individuals were quickly arrested in their homes\, leaving behind confused and frightened families; most detainees were later sent to Department of Justice or Army internment camps. \nOnly the Oaks Remain commemorates the history of the Tuna Canyon Detention Station and seeks to educate the public about the violation of civil rights that took place there. The exhibition features photographs\, letters\, diaries\, interviews\, declassified government documents\, and other rare artifacts that serve to illuminate a largely untold story that goes beyond the more widely-known story of the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans. A highlight is an Honor Wall that bears each detainee’s name\, creating a contemplative space for viewers. By taking an unprecedented look at war’s impact on a disparate group of detainees\, examining striking similarities as well as differences among them\, the exhibition encourages present and future generations to learn from our nation’s mistakes. \nOnly the Oaks Remain is organized by the Tuna Canyon Detention Station Coalition\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising public awareness about the site’s history. It is working to develop a permanent Tuna Canyon Detention Station Memorial\, which will include a plaque and educational posts installed along a walking path lined with mature oak trees\, to further educate future generations. For more information\, visit tunacanyon.org. \nThis project was organized by the Tuna Canyon Detention Station Coalition; funded\, in part\, by a grant from the US Department of the Interior\, National Park Service\, Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program; and sponsored by the San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center.
