Between 1885 and 1894, the early years of government-contracted emigration from Japan, approximately 10,000 people from Yamaguchi Prefecture emigrated to Hawaii.
Artist Yuki Harada, who has been researching the history of people who migrated from Yamaguchi and Hiroshima to Hawaii and creating video works based on the hybrid culture of Japanese Americans, will host a talk event and present a related exhibition.
In the talk, Harada will speak about the historical connections between Yamaguchi and Hawaii, including Honolulu. The exhibition will feature Shadowing (Tomigoro), a work in which a man named Tomigoro, who crossed the ocean from Yamaguchi, recounts his life story.
