Discover Nikkei is a project of the Japanese American National Museum, made possible through the generous support of The Nippon Foundation. We work with community organizations and individuals to create a collaborative community space about Nikkei globally.
The main component of the project is an award-winning multi-lingual, multi-national site that shares the stories of Nikkei* living around the world. It’s also a place for people interested in the Nikkei experience to come together and connect.
Through the site, you can read articles in the Journal, post events, share photos, watch life history interview video clips, and explore various other resources about Nikkei communities in the U.S., Latin America, Canada, and in Japan. Navigation and content is available in English, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese.
We also work with community partners to host public programs, symposia, and other events so that you can join us virtually and in person for many of the topics explored through the site.
