JCCH and Goto of Hiroshima Foundation to award $5,000 study grant to Hawaii resident
Grant selection based on individual’s interest on Japan-Hawaii relations
HONOLULU - The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii (JCCH) is now accepting applications for the Goto of Hiroshima Foundation $5,000 Study Grant, which includes a research trip to Hiroshima, Japan. Administered by the JCCH, the grant—which was established in 1993 to foster friendship and understanding between Japan and the United States—will be awarded to an individual who has an interest in research regarding Hiroshima and Hawai‘i; or general Japanese culture, politics, economics or language.
Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 40 and residents of Hawaii. Preference is given to individuals from Honokaa, Hawaii. Applicant deadline is by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 28, 2006.
The Goto of Hiroshima Foundation was established by Hiroshima physician Dr. Fumiko Kaya in memory of her late uncle Katsu Goto. In 1889, at age 26, Goto - a successful general store owner in the plantation town of Honokaa on the Big Island—was lynched for helping Japanese immigrant laborers understand their rights as workers and individuals. The Goto of Hiroshima Foundation Grant commemorates one of Hawai‘i’s first labor rights activists and honors his role as one of the earliest intermediaries between the Japanese immigrants and their employers.
Over the past decade, the Foundation has awarded $5,000 grants every year to individuals whose research ranged from "The Dynamics and Realities of Youth Socialization in Contemporary Japan" to "Kumulokahi, The Source of Unity: Hawaiian-Japanese Relations Then and Now" to "To Remember to Regret: Learning from Atomic Warfare and Hiroshima – A Guide for Middle and High School and Adult Educators."
The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii (JCCH), a non-profit organization, strives to strengthen our diverse community by educating present and future generations in the evolving Japanese American experience in Hawaii. Located in Moiliili, the Center features a Community and Historical Gallery, Resource Center, Kenshikan martial arts do¯jo¯, Seiko¯an Japanese teahouse and Gift Shop. For more information call (808) 945-7633, email info@jcch.com or visit the website at www.jcch.com.
