In preparation for relocation.

the school has grown with the mission of providing Japanese language education and preserving Japanese culture for Japanese American children.I didnt think wed live this long to be able to see it.

Los Angeles City Councilmember Traci Park.The fact that the spirit of providing good education to the next generation has been passed down to todays JIS is something to be proud of.many families returned to the Sawtelle area from camps as well as places like Colorado where some had relocated.

many families destroyed any possessions connected to Japan.Some children are from alumni families.

members of the Los Angeles City Council.

and some are from families with no Japanese background.like the Nihon buyō and also do other cultural lessons throughout the time of training.

I was really excited because I wanted to learn more about the roots of the program and how it ties together with so many generations of Japanese American women.So when Aiko told me about her film project proposal.

and my younger sister Amy is on the 2024 Nisei Week Court.this program gives you so much that it really makes you just want to give back.
