Okage Sama De: I Am What I Am Because of You - Historical Gallery
From taking that first hesitant step off a boat’s wooden plank onto a foreign land to having your country patriotism questioned after the bombing of Pearl Harbor—experience the multi-generational history of the Japanese in Hawai‘i. The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i (JCCH) presents the exhibition, Okage Sama De: I am what I am because of 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.
The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i (JCCH), a non-profit organization, strives to share the history, heritage and culture of the evolving Japanese American experience in Hawai‘i. Located at 2454 South Beretania Street in Mō‘ili‘ili, the Cultural Center features a Community and Historical Gallery, Resource Center, Kenshikan martial arts dōjō, Seikōan Japanese teahouse and Gift Shop. The Cultural Center presents various programs, festivals and exhibitions throughout the year.
