Gannenmono and Today: Nikkei Collective and Personal Narratives (Hawaii Nikkei Now – ハワイ 日系 ナウ)
This show will be broadcast in Japanese.. In this unique introductory show, two Japanese-American (Nikkei) co-hosts explore collective history and personal narratives, as well as insights to how Japanese-Americans played significant roles in the development of Hawaii since the first Japanese immigrants arrived in 1868, the first year of the Meiji Era (the “Gannenmono”). Ray Tsuchiyama and Russell Honma were both born and raised in Japan, then had different personal trajectories in business and government; both retained Japanese language fluency and will discuss various show topics in Japanese. The show’s future guests shall include Japanese government and business representatives in Hawaii, and Japanese-speaking chefs, educators, artists, lawyers, technologists, and entrepreneurs.
The hosts for this episode are Ray Tsuchiyama and Russell Honma.
