\n\n \n

The Hapa Japan Project at the Center is dedicated to the study of mixed-roots Japanese people globally from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The project consists of an event series (including major multi-day festivals), publications, and a dedicated website that is part social networking and genealogical database and part educational hub featuring news stories, longer form articles, and interviews. In 2017, the Center launched a new interface for the website, released the 2-part Hapa Japan edited volumes (vol. 1 History<\/a> and vol. 2 Identity and Representations<\/a>), and hosted Hapa Japan Fest III<\/a> from February 22-26, 2017 partly in conjunction with the Critical Mixed Race Studies<\/a> (CMRS) conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

\n\n \n

Friday, April 27, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presently approximately one out of every thirty children born in Japan has one parent who is not Japanese. Mixed race Japanese individuals are fast becoming a part of the Japanese mainstream and one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States. What is mixed race Japanese identity, from the voices of people who actually are Hapa Japanese? In \u201cHapa Expressions,\u201d the voices of transnational individuals of mixed Japanese heritage are explored, representations that focus on the U.S.-Japan experience, two countries in which mixed-race identity is being heard in a big way, perhaps bigger than the societies-at-large are aware of. The expressions are brought to life in this play written by Velina Hasu Houston…<\/p>\n

Saturday, June 30, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

During and shortly after the US-Allied Occupation of Japan, the Japanese women who fraternized with soldiers often met opposition from their families and were shunned by other Japanese.\u00a0Many mixed-raced children faced severe prejudice for being \u201cimpure\u201d and born from the former enemy.<\/p>\n

This symposium brings together various stakeholders to tell the stories of the war brides and their children. By focusing on the memories, realities and legacies of this community, this groundbreaking gathering will create opportunities for listening, discussing, healing, and empowering attendees…<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n \n \n

Half-Japanese Australian author Christine Piper will discuss her award-winning novel,\u00a0After Darkness<\/i>, and its themes of identity, otherness and the immigrant experience. Set during World War 2,\u00a0After Darkness\u00a0<\/i>is narrated by a Japanese doctor who is arrested as an enemy alien in the pearling port of Broome and then interned at a remote camp in South Australia. When tensions between the nationalist Japanese and the Australian-born Japanese internees escalate, the doctor\u2019s long-held beliefs are thrown into question and he is forced to confront his dark past: the promise he made in Japan and its devastating consequences…<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n \n \n

Using \u201cfound footage\u201d retrieved from the family archive as well as the public domain, Sylvia Schedelbauer explores the genres of autobiography, documentary, and experimental films.

\n Mixed-Race Japanese Marriages: Views on International Marriages from a Historical Perspective<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n \n
\n\n \n

Monday, September 10, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lecture by Professor Itsuko Kamoto of the Kyoto Women’s University on intermarriage between Japanese and non-Japanese, or\u00a0kokusai kekkon<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The Japanese government was less concerned about race than nationality when Decree 103, which first established the rules for international marriage in Japan, was drafted in 1873. Its model was the Napoleonic Code. Resulting from its relationship with the United States, the Japanese government learned that Japanese were categorized as \u201cMongolian\u201d and as such, were prohibited from marriage to Caucasians in some sates that had anti-miscegenation laws. The immigration law of 1924 enabled Japanese to emigrate to the United States, later resulting in the post-war Japanese War Bride act and setting the stage for dilemmas such as Japanese women being blamed for kidnapping their children back to their home country. Professor Kamoto will discuss possible solutions to problems regarding mixed-race marriages, and invite discussion on these issues…<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n \n \n
