Historical Gallery The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i (JCCH) presents the exhibition, Okage Sama De: I am who I am thanks to you that tells a cultural story that resonates with all ethnicities across the United States. The exhibit reveals the indelible legacies and values passed on from generation to generation—starting with the first wave of Japanese immigrants in 1868—that are now weaved into the Hawai‘i landscape and still carried on today. Community Gallery
The JCCH features a unique mixture of historical displays, contemporary art exhibitions and annual sales in its Community Gallery throughout the year. From the history of karate in Hawai‘i to Japanese tattoos, the JCCH shares the evolving Japanese American experience through visual arts—such as sculpture, photography and woodblock prints.
Some of the exhibitions are often paired with special guest speakers, such as world-famous artist Don Ed Hardy, who spoke on the history of Japanese tattoos and how the art form traveled to the United States; as well as Professor John Stevens, an Aikishihan (Master of Aikido), who talked about samurai beliefs & values. All of the exhibitions are made possible thanks to the sponsorship of generous companies and special individuals. Historical and Community Gallery Hours
