This event is a part of Honouliuli National Historic Site's 10th Anniversary Celebration.
Led by Delphine Hirasuna, author of the book "The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps, 1942-1946", this presentation will cover how the camps came to be and showcase the different materials used for the intricate pieces of art crafted by those imprisoned. Hirasuna will be joined by Sandi Chang, granddaughter of Sam Nishimura who was incarcerated at Honouliuli.
Nishimura's work remains a stunning example of resilience and craftsmanship in the camps with his toothbrush rings, carvings, and toys he made for his family.
Delphine Hirasuna is the author of over a dozen books, including "The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps, 1942-1946", which became a traveling exhibition shown at 10 museums across the U.S, including the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington D.C. and the International Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe. NHK Broadcasting also sponsored a five-city tour of “The Art of Gaman” exhibition in Japan, with Delphine as organizer and curator. The exhibition was seen by special request by the Emperor and Empress of Japan. For more than 25 years, Delphine also wrote a weekly feature column for the two largest Japanese American newspapers in the U.S. and co-authored the Japanese cookbook, “Flavors of Japan.” She was named a laureate of the San Francisco Public Library in 2002. Her latest book “Broad Stripes Bright Stars,” co-authored with designer Kit Hinrichs and photographer Terry Heffernan, will be released by bookstores in December, in time for America’s 250th anniversary.
She is a sansei (third generation) whose family was interned in Jerome and Rohwer, Arkansas, during the war. Her father, who was born in Hawaii, served with the 442nd 100th in Italy. He was drafted from the camps, even though he was 38 years old and had two children.
Sandi Chang is the granddaugher of Sam Nishimura, an incarcerated civilian of Honouliuli who turned to the arts during his time in camp. Sandi has been an active community member in sharing her grandfather's and Honouliuli's story and has been featured in documentaries such as "The Untold Story: Internment of Japanese Americans in Hawaii".

This presentation will begin with a short description of the game of Go and its strategy. It will then cover the history of Go in Japan from its arrival in the 6th century to the present. Upon its introduction into Japan, the game was first played by court nobility then eventually spread to the samurai class and then to the general population. The game enjoyed institutional support by the Tokugawa Shoguns from the 17th to 19th centuries and the Shoguns gave the strongest Go player a governmental position with a stipend. Professional Go players emerged in the 20th century with major corporations sponsoring Go tournaments much like corporations sponsor tennis and golf tournaments in the West.
Kobashigawa will then cover the history of Go in Hawaii from the time of the arrival of Japanese immigrants to the outbreak of the war with Japan, ending with the discussion of the significance of Go at the Honouliuli Internment Camp as well as all the mainland interment camps. Two Honouliuli internees will be highlighted. Both were Japanese Americans born in Hawaii, interned at Honouliuli, then sent to mainland interment camps and, of course, played Go during their internment days.
Go is also a popular game in Korea, although it is unknown if the 2,700 Korean POWs played it while incarcerated.
Sid Kobashigawa spent 16 years of teaching the class "Buddhist Philosophy and the Game of Go" at Punahou School to over 180 local students each year.
