This free photographic exhibit covers the initial immigration of the Issei (first generation immigrants) from Japan in the late 1800s to modern day Hawai’i, showing how the Nikkei (overseas Japanese) in Hawai’i have merged their Japanese cultural values with the blend of cultures in Hawai’i.
At the core of the exhibit is the story of the Nisei (second generation) who served in the US armed forces in World War II. The exhibit also depicts the post war accomplishments of the Nisei in Hawai’i. Prominent Japanese Americans from Hawai’i are displayed along with the prefectures in Japan that their ancestors emigrated from.
The intent of the exhibit is to educate people on the story of Hawaii’s Nikkei and to promote goodwill and cross-cultural values between Japan and the United States.
The exhibit will be on display from July 14 to August 29 and may be viewed during the library’s business hours.

Every Wednesday at the Honoka`a Public Library we bring out thousands of LEGOs and say, “Let’s go!“
Our LEGO Build Club challenges kids (and adults) of all ages to craft, create, and construct. Start off with one of our leveled challenge cards and stay for free play!
Challenge cards are organized by skill level and provide opportunities to work on problem solving and develop math and physics concepts, fine motor skills, inquiry skills, and hand-eye coordination. A challenge may be as simple as “build something with only four legos” or “build something that starts with the letter B” but may be as complex as “build a challenging maze and ask someone to solve it with a mini action figure – don’t forget dead ends!”
Recommended for ages 3 and up! Always free.
