Event marks the 80th anniversary of the forced uprooting, dispossession and internment of almost 22,000 Japanese Canadians who were living in B.C. when Japan entered the Second World War
Close to 100 Japanese and Japanese-Canadian artists living in Canada have gathered in Victoria for the Gei: Art Symposium, the group’s first national multi-day symposium.
The artists, who range in age from their 20s to their 70s, each have their own mandates and perspectives, Takashima said. Some from third and fourth generation families can still remember the hardships their families endured, while others arrived long after the war. Susanne Tabata, co-chair of the symposium, referred to the event as a “homecoming” for the artists, owing to the significance of the venue — the new Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion, built on the site of the Takata Tea House, the first Japanese-style tea house and garden in Canada.
