Shane Sato "The Go For Broke Spirit" Photo Exhibit

Exhibition
In Person
Japanese American Musuem of San Jose
535 North Fifth Street San Jose, California, United States of America

Date: Oct. 19, 2019 – Feb. 29, 2020


"I have been photographing Japanese American Nisei veterans for the past eighteen years. I started this project because I wanted to photograph veterans in an artistic way and share the stories that needed to be remembered for the next generation. The Nisei almost universally never talked about their war experiences, so I felt it was necessary to share what they could not." - Shane Sato

The Japanese American Museum of San Jose is honored to host "The Go For Broke Spirit" Photo Exhibit where many of Shane Sato's moving portraits of Nisei soldiers will be on display.
