Description
The exhibit features items carefully collected and researched by scholar and author Barbara Kawakami. The exhibition will run from August 18 through October 15, 2012 on first floor of Castle Memorial Building. Through a colorful display of intricately woven and hand painted kimono and pre-war plantation clothing, rare oral histories, photographs, and moving images, this exhibition gives voice to the unknown stories embodied in the textiles and sheds light on the innumerable hardships of the early issei of Hawai'i.
