Omiyage: What We Love to Share

The Japanese word, omiyage, is translated as souvenir, or keepsake, given by returning travelers to friends and family at home. Omiyage can be perishable, but their most important quality is being unique or characteristic of their place of origin. That’s the idea behind Jared Yamanuha’s debut exhibition. HPR’s Noe Tanigawa reports.

Jared Yamanuha’s show, “Omiyage”, continues at In4mation Chinatown on Nu'uanu Avenue through November.  An artist reception and talk is set for Tuesday November 5th, 6-8.

Noe Tanigawa covered art, culture and ideas for two decades at Hawaiʻi Public Radio.
