04/06/2021

Our families’ suffering is not your collectible. Once again, eBay is selling and profiting from the sale of Japanese American incarceration. On April 4, a 442 Army medic bag used by a Japanese American soldier was sold. Today at 6:46 p.m. PDT, 20 drawings made in 1942 at the Manzanar concentration camp will be auctioned off.

We sent a letter to eBay telling them that we find these listings offensive, hurtful, and a degrading reminder of the mass roundup and incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. These imprisoned people were our parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, siblings and friends who lost homes, businesses, personal property, communities and lives.

WHAT ARE WE ASKING FOR:
1. That the auction of Matsumura’s landscape drawings be withdrawn immediately- NONE of the objects are being sold by the families;
2. That current and all future listings of artifacts that are associated with America's concentration camps be included in eBay's Offensive Materials Policy and be banned for sale, including artwork as well as historical items such as letters, publications, personal belongings and other artifacts.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? Please help us by signing the petition to tell eBay to stop selling Japanese American artifacts from WWII concentration camps and BEFORE THE MANZANAR DRAWINGS ARE SOLD. THAT AUCTION SALE ENDS TONIGHT AT 6:46 PM.

April 1st, 1946 - A late night earthquake near Alaska triggered a tsunami in #HiloBay on the following morning. Tragically, 1/3 of the city was destroyed and 159 lives were lost. The highest wave was estimated to be around 50 ft.

This devastating event led to the creation of what is now known as the #PacificTsunamiWarningSystem, which gives us more time to prepare for future natural disasters.

10 years ago, Japan was devastated by The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami that struck its #Tohoku region. This is the strongest #earthquake ever recorded in Japan’s history. The tsunami caused catastrophic nuclear explosions at the #Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Today, we remember the thousands of lives lost that day, as well as those who continue to rebuild their lives after the tragic effects of this natural disaster.

This is an image of the “Ganbarou Ishinomaki” sign at the tsunami memorial site in #Ishinomaki City. It is not only a sign of remembrance, but also a sign representing the ongoing recovery.

Japan's Innovations for an Aging Society November 10th at 7pm Pacific Time. Free online Zoom lecture Presented by The Stanford Health Library in partnership with The Center for Asian Health Research and Education. Japan is the most rapidly aging developed society in the world. Currently, the population 65 years and older in Japan accounts for approximately 29 percent of the total population, and by 2050 it will be 40 percent. As these rapid changes occur, Japan is innovating ways to solve the unmet needs of an aging society. Dr. Ikeno, a Research Associate in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University and the founder of a Japanese biodesign company that is addressing these issues, will discuss some of these innovations. Fumiaki Ikeno, MD, is a Research Associate in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University and the Program Director (U.S) Japan Biodesign, Stanford Biodesign.

My name is Ryuma Matsuzaka. I am an actor and live in NY. This is a difficult time not only for freelance artists like ourselves, but everyone from restaurant workers, students, family members and especially medical care workers due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Many of us are suffering financially and more than anything, mentally. I am not usually the type to get upset, but since the "New York State on Pause" order took effect, I lost all of my motivation as an actor because we can not predict what's gonna happen next. After watching Governor Cuomo's press conference and world celebrities sing John Lennon's Imagine, I regained hope. I am an artist. My mission is to deliver my message to you all by expressing under any circumstances. I thought it is time that we, as artists stand up together for all over the world and our Japanese community. That's why I decided to make a video of Sukiyaki (Ue o Muite Arukō) song by Mr. Ryu Sakamoto, with lyrics by Mr. Rokusuke Ei and music by Mr. Hachidai Nakamura. I hope this video will send a message to all over the world and Japanese community of all over the world. We are facing an unprecedented situation, but we are not alone. We are all in this together, and will eventually get through this challenge. Let’s keep our heads up high. Please share this song. I hope someone will get smile.

Just finished the trailer for David Cunningham's Running for Grace, and wanted to offer my recommendation for a film based around the history of Japanese/Hawaiian culture. Judging from the trailer, the film follows an illicit romance between a young Japanese American and the daughter of a prominent white businessman. Along with the setting of 1920s Hawaii, the film is shaping up to be one of incredible cultural relevance, and one which I can't wait to see. It begins it's theatrical run at the Dole Cannery from the 19th-27th, so do try and make it out if you get the chance. Hope to see some of you there!
To whom it may concern: I am greatly disappointed to hear that JCCH is going to host the hate speech of Masako Ganaha. Given the long history of Japanese oppression of Okinawa, amplifying Ganaha's efforts to eradicate Okinawan identity and history is a step in the wrong direction. My family is a long time supporter of your institution. I look forward to your efforts to rectify the situation.
