150 years of Japanese-American contact: Hawaii's heritage

Last summer, an exhibit at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i (JCCH) described the life of Japanese Americans interned in camps during World War II. Called “Dark Clouds Over Paradise: The Hawai‘i Internees story,” it included hand-written descriptions by the internees of their experiences and small objects from their daily lives—photographs, dairies, letters, and hand made jewelry.
