Portraits of ISSEI

ISSEI: Portraits of Japanese Immigrants in New York is a participatory online exhibition based on portrait photographs taken by Hiroyuki “Tora” Inoue around 1980, with interviews conducted by Teruho Saito. The project brings together the faces and life stories of first-generation Japanese immigrants who lived through major historical changes while building their lives in New York. Through this exhibit, we invite the community to help identify individuals, share memories, and preserve the legacy of Issei New Yorkers for future generations.
