Jimi Yamaichi, JAMsj co-founder and curator, has been hard at work, creating a vintage Japanese American ranch exhibit house in back of the main Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj) building. Timed to coincide with Aki Matsuri, the annual fall festival held at nearby Wesley United Methodist Church, JAMsj will host an open house for the new exhibit featuring first-hand stories about life on the farm, told by those who lived the experience.  As an added treat, we have a special guest coming to demonstrate tsukemono making!  Stay tuned for more details!

If you or anyone you know has stories to tell about life on a Japanese American farm before, during, or soon after WWII, let us know by contacting PublicPrograms@JAMsj.org
