September 30
– October 8
12:00 pm–4:00 pm
Permanent Exhibit with a public awareness and outreach from September 30th through October 8th
With the support of a National Park Service Grant, JAMsj has extensively remodeled and enhanced the section of the museum dedicated to the art and craft work created by many artisans who were incarcerated in the Japanese American incarceration camps during World War II. This major art exhibit captures the artistic essence of the forced mass removal and incarceration of some 120,000 people of Japanese descent from 1942 through 1945. Using natural material from the 10 desolate incarceration camps, the art work comes alive in a very naturalistic way reflecting the art of gaman, to endure the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity. Please stop by and experience this unique exhibit.
The mission of the Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj ) is to collect, preserve and share Japanese American history, culture and art with a focus on the Greater Bay Area.
