These bonsai were started after the Japanese Americans returned from WWII American concentration camps. Some of the plants were likely started from seeds. \nDennis Makishima\, a bonsai and aesthetic pruning master\, inherited the bonsai after the initial creators of the bonsai passed away. He took care of them for over thirty years\, trying to honor the style envisioned by the original practitioners. By the time Dennis received these historic bonsai\, many were in poor condition. He dealt with dead branches\, forms that were far from ideal\, and some that were just barely alive. Dennis resuscitated them and called them “old fashion style” in contrast to the “contemporary style\,” which is more common today. \nAside from the living descendants of the Issei and Kibei generations\, the 60-70-year-old bonsai are likely all that remain alive from that period. In 2022\, Dennis retired and donated his entire bonsai collection. The bonsai have likely dispersed all over the state and country\, flourishing\, just like so many other aspects of Japanese American culture. \n  \nAbout the Artist \nTakeshi Moro is Associate Professor of Studio Art at Santa Clara University. For the past decade\, he has focused on working with communities and the collaborative process of art making. He is the founder and director of tmoro projects\, a 501(c)(3) non-profit community art space in the Bay Area. Moro’s work has been exhibited internationally\, including solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and Serlachius Museot\, Finland. \n\nDennis Makishima (b. 1947) was born and raised in Berkeley\, California.  A Sansei (third generation Japanese American)\, his mother and father were Kibei (born in the U.S.\, educated in Japan\, and later returned to the U.S.). A graduate of Berkeley High School\, Dennis served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam\, and graduated from U.C. Berkeley\, where he majored in Political Science. \nDennis is a pioneer of Aesthetic Pruning (ornamental tree pruning up to 15 feet in height) and coined the term and its definitions (ladder was 10 feet tall and he was 5 feet tall). He created the now nationally renowned Aesthetic Pruning Program at Merritt College and has mentored over 100 apprentices during his illustrious career.  A revered celebrity practitioner\, he has pruned over 10\,000 trees\, including in San Francisco’s Japanese Tea Garden\, a tree that Walt Disney personally planted in Disneyland\, and Ruth Bancroft’s Garden. In addition to their much sought-after commissioned work\, he and his students continue to volunteer their time pruning trees in Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple in Berkeley and many other temples with Japanese garden-style trees in the San Francisco Bay Area. \nApproximately two years into Dennis’ aesthetic pruning practice he had the good fortune to meet Mas Imazumi\, a bonsai master in Northern California. They were both at a family party in Hayward\, CA —Mas’ son married into Dennis’ wife’s family. Dennis overheard Mas talking about bonsai and soon after Dennis signed up for Mas’ bonsai class. \nIn 1990\, he was selected to apprentice under Bonsai Master Yasuo Mitsuya 三ツ矢 又生 for 18 months in Toyohashi\, Japan. After returning from his training in Japan\, Dennis taught aesthetic pruning and bonsai to students\, and then travelled the world giving workshops. He was active in the bonsai community and served in leadership roles for the Golden State Bonsai Federation for 20 years\, including as President from 2002 to 2004. \nDennis’ works may be found in the prestigious Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino\, CA\, the Ritsurin Garden in Takamatsu\, Japan\, and also in the Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt in Oakland\, CA. \nKenny Murakami is a third generation Cal grad with over 50 years in the horticulture industry. Former owner of the Moraga Garden Center\, he is now retired and working on his long neglected garden. Go Bears!

We invite you to participate in this effort.  \nOn March 18\, 2022\, President Biden signed the Amache National Historic Site Act into law\, starting the process to establish Amache as a new unit of the national park system. The new legislation directs the National Park Service to preserve and protect Amache and to interpret Amache’s history and continuing relevance for current and future generations. As the National Park Service works toward those goals\, one of the first steps is developing a foundation document. A foundation document identifies a national park unit’s core purpose and significance\, its most important resources and values\, and the key interpretive themes or concepts that tell its unique story. Foundation documents also identify important issues to be addressed in future planning and data collection efforts. A foundation document is not intended to provide specific recommendations for how the park will be managed but will instead inform future decision making by documenting what is most important about Amache and what efforts are needed to protect and preserve its resources. Foundation documents are a required first step before comprehensive management and development planning. \nThe National Park Service would like to hear from you and gather your perspectives in several ways as the foundation document is developed. \nAttend a public meeting. Meet with the National Park Service to learn more about the foundation document process and share your thoughts and ideas on the future of Amache by attending a public meeting. Meetings will be held in California and Colorado. Each meeting will follow the same format\, beginning with an informational presentation and followed by opportunities to ask questions and share thoughts and ideas with NPS staff in an open house setting. Please consider joining us at the location and on the day that is most convenient for you. Information on public meetings is listed below\, as well as on the project web page (https://parkplanning.nps.gov/AMCH_Foundation) \nAttend a virtual information session. This virtual meeting will begin with the same informational presentation as the in-person meetings\, followed by a moderated question-and-answer session about foundation documents and the best methods for submitting written comments. This meeting will be recorded and remain available on the project website to view at your convenience. The meeting date and link is included below. \n \nDownload the flyer to learn more ways to participate!

It explores the treatment of over 31\,000 “enemy aliens” including their exclusion\, forced removal\, internment\, use in prisoner exchanges\, and deportation.

By emphasizing the evacuees’ personal stories it is the first internment film to go beyond the confinement itself\, and instead highlight values – courage\, responsibility and cooperation – that enable the human spirit. Interviews with noted experts provide new insights in to the social political backdrop of the internment. This is the untold story of those who refuse to knuckle under and risked it all to go fishing just like other ordinary Americans.\n\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\nGYOTAKU FISH PRINT DEMONSTRATION By Kenny Ina\nSunday\, August 7\, 2022\, 12-3PM \nLocation: NJAHS Peace Gallery (1684 Post ST San Francisco CA 94115)\nCo-sponsored by the SF Nisei Fishing Club URL:https://www.njahs.org/events/manzanar-fishing-club-screening-gyotaku-fish-print-demonstration/ LOCATION:National Japanese Historical Society\, 1684 Post Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94115\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.njahs.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220721T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220925T090000 DTSTAMP:20260423T152731 CREATED:20220723T041248Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220802T061437Z UID:10000156-1658386800-1664096400@www.njahs.org SUMMARY:A Multicultural/Multimedia Book Presentation Featuring Asian American Women's Voices DESCRIPTION:When: September 25\, 2022 from 2:00pm – 4:00pm\nWhere: Military Intelligence Service Historic Learning Center- 640 Mason St San Francisco CA 94129 (By Crissy Field)\nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-multiculturalmultimedia-book-presentation-featuring-asian-american-women-tickets-394739385127\n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.njahs.org/events/a-multicultural-multimedia-book-presentation-featuring-asian-american-womens-voices/ LOCATION:Military Intelligence Service Historic Learning Center\, Building 640\, 640 Old Mason St\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94129\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/pdf:https://www.njahs.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Flyer-7-31-22.pdf END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220718T050000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220915T100000 DTSTAMP:20260423T152731 CREATED:20220813T055022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220813T055022Z UID:10000158-1658120400-1663236000@www.njahs.org SUMMARY:San Francisco Nisei Fishing Club DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.njahs.org/events/san-francisco-nisei-fishing-club/ LOCATION:National Japanese Historical Society\, 1684 Post Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94115\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/pdf:https://www.njahs.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/2022-07-21_CAM_id-Njahs_NB24C-1-1.pdf END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220717 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220916 DTSTAMP:20260423T152731 CREATED:20220719T060647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220719T060647Z UID:10000154-1658077200-1663261199@www.njahs.org SUMMARY:104 Years of the San Francisco Nisei Fishing Club DESCRIPTION:The National Japanese Historical Society is happy to welcome our latest community curated exhibition by the San Francisco Nisei Fishing Club looking back at 104 years of family fun and community.  On display now until September 15\, 2022.  Come by and explore over one hundred and four years of fishing culture. \nDuring San Francisco Nihonmachi Street Fair\, on Saturday August 6 at 6:30 join us for a special screening of Cory Shiozaki’s “The Manzanar Fishing Club” and explore the uplifting tale of incarcerees who found their freedom fishing in the waters of the Eastern Sierra. \nFree and open to the public \nJuly 18 to September 15\, 2022 \nNational Japanese American Historical Society Peace Gallery at 1684 Post Street\, San Francisco\, CA in the heart of Japantown \nOpen M-F noon-5:00 pm and the first Saturdays of each month \nFor more information call 415-921-5007 URL:https://www.njahs.org/events/104-years-of-the-san-francisco-nisei-fishing-club/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220705T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220726T100000 DTSTAMP:20260423T152731 CREATED:20220706T062830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220722T124430Z UID:10000153-1656982800-1658829600@www.njahs.org SUMMARY:We Are All Americans: Teachers coming together to make hidden histories visible in classrooms DESCRIPTION:Tuesday July 26 from 1 – 2:30pm ET/10:00am PT – 11:30am PT\nVia Zoom hosted by the NWP Write Now Teacher Studio \nJoin us for an online teacher workshop led by teachers\, grades 3 to 12\, who have been involved in a set of regional workshops and an online study group titled “We Are All Americans” developed by the National Japanese American Historical Society and the Bay Area Writing Project.
