WEBSITE As a finalist for the coveted AIMA|AGO Photography Prize, Chino Otsuka, a Japanese artist currently living in England, completed a residency at the Nikkei National Museum (NNM) in 2014. This exhibition features work inspired by that residency. Through her exploration of the NNM archives, Otsuka discovered the early history of Japanese immigrants to Canada and became fascinated with the stories of young women who came as “picture brides”. Otsuka will visually weave the stories of these young women by combining archive images and new photographs in an audio-visual installation. Arrival captures the time of anticipation, hope, and adventure as they began their journey to a new country.

Senseigata,
Do you have any former students who are currently using Japanese in the workplace? 現在、職場で日本語を使っている元の生徒はいますか？ JFLA is planning to make a series of videos promoting the Japanese language. We are looking for professionals who use Japanese at work. We would like to send a camera crew to their workplace to interview them, and hopefully catch them speaking, reading, or writing in Japanese.

During the Second World War, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Canadian government displaced and detained thousands of Japanese Canadians. In Vancouver, some 8,000 Japanese Canadians were placed and detained at the PNE Livestock buildings at Hastings Park. The Japanese Canadian Citizens Association intends to nominate the PNE Livestock building as a Japanese-Canadian historic site to Heritage BC. During the renovation of the livestock building, the Association intends to create an interpretive display. They envision a recreation of a living stall where families lived, as well as a commemorative display of all the families who were placed and detained at the PNE Livestock building. Watch and listen to a two-minute video as Judy Hanazawa (Japanese Canadian Citizens Association) describes what life was like for Japanese-Canadian families during the internment at the PNE Livestock building as well as the vision to commemorate those families interned in the barns.
