Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

Iwao Matsuhita and the Seattle Camera Club

After migrating to the US in 1919 with his wife Hanaye, Iwao Matsushita became close friends with Dr. Kyo Koike and developed a passion for photography. Koike took Matsushita on his first trip to Mount Rainier National Park and Matsushita became a founding member when Koike started the Seattle Camera Club. Over the years, Matsushita returned to the mountain regularly with his wife and friends to film, photograph, hike, and ski. He found inspiration in the mountain’s vistas and frequently visited areas like Klapatche Park, Saint Andrews Park, Narada Falls, and Ohanapecosh.

When Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II, it was illegal for any person of Japanese descent to own a camera or practice photography. Japanese photographers turned in their cameras and many hid or destroyed their work because they feared further government suspicion or retaliation.

Matsushita, however, firmly believed in the value of their art as well as his innocence. Although the FBI arrested Matsushita and confiscated many of his letters, films, and other materials, his remaining items were stored with his landlord for safekeeping. Years after the war ended and the FBI returned his possessions, he worked with the University of Washington and donated his photos, films, and other records from the Seattle Camera Club for preservation.

Even though camera clubs in San Francisco and Los Angeles from this era were much larger, few examples of the work from their Japanese members have survived. Thanks to Matsushita’s dedication to his and his colleagues’ accomplishments, the Seattle Camera Club has one of the largest remaining collections of photography by West Coast Japanese Americans from this time period. The collection - including Matsushita and Koike’s many photos and films of Mount Rainier - remains in the care of University of Washington Special Collections to be viewed and appreciated by all for generations to come.

How Artists of the Asian Diaspora Are Drawing on Traditions from Their Heritage

Across various mediums, contemporary artists from the Asian and Pacific Islander diaspora draw on traditional art techniques. From Kashmiri embroidery to Native Hawaiian kapa to Indigenous Filipino banig weaving, new generations are not only embracing and preserving these legacies, but also expanding the artistic possibilities of these methods.

While today, these cultural practices are frequently celebrated, for some, it has been a protracted struggle to have their traditions recognized as legitimate.

For Artsy, I highlight five artists whose practices are influenced by traditional techniques.

This month, we’re celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I’m in fact, Filipino-American. I reside in Chicago, Illinois, while these people on here reside in Los Angeles, California. Also, I recommend you guys to eat at Jollibee, they got good Filipino food there. Only if you live in an area where Jollibee has locations (e.g. if you’re in the Los Angeles, Chicago or New York City metropolitan areas). In a tribute to Deedee Magno Hall, Michaela Dietz, Ashly Burch, Sumalee Montano, Charlet Chung, Jennifer Paz, Romi Dames, Eric Bauza, Ken Jeong, and Haley Tju.

Asian & Asian American Voices: Great Reads to Celebrate the Heritage

Today is the start of #AsianAmericanPacificIslander Heritage Month. Check out great reads that are perfect for celebrating the history and heritage of #AAPI culture. #booklist #books #yabooks #picturebooks #blogpost

Reading about different cultures other than our own is a great way to not only educate ourselves but creates empathy and understanding in our daily lives. Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month is honored in May and Asian & Asian American voices are always important to highlight but it is needed now more than ever due to discrimination and racism that is targeted towards this ethnicity…

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, allowing for the exclusion of Japanese Americans from any zone identified by the War Department. Bainbridge Island was the first exclusion area to be designated.

On March 30, 1942, the Japanese Americans living on Bainbridge Island were forced from their homes and boarded onto ferries leading to the internment camp in Manzanar, California. After the war ended, only about half of the Bainbridge Island Japanese Americans returned to their homes. They made a collective vow to honor and recognize the members of their community who spent part of their lives in American concentration camps because of their ancestry. Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial is one vital piece to commemorating their stories.

Today, the pathway and ferry dock that led these individuals to their undue imprisonment serves as a tranquil site to reflect on their experience and join in the call of Nidoto Nai Yoni - “Let it Not Happen Again.”

Have you visited this NPS location or similar memorials? Why do you feel sites like this are important to protect?
