Welcome to the NHAW/JCCCW website
Heritage remembered... an exceptional gift to the future.

We are an organization that is committed to preserving, promoting and sharing Japanese and Japanese American culture and heritage. We do so by creating, funding and supporting multi-cultural and intergenerational education which celebrates diversity, art, culture, and language. We are also devoted to preserving Japanese American history and heritage. By honoring both the contributions and challenges of Pacific Northwest Issei and Nisei generations, we offer publications, family legacy projects and the Northwest Nikkei Museum. 
Recently, the Japanese Language School (JLS) and the NHAW/JCCCW have joined forces to further these efforts. This will result in growth of the cultural programs offered at the center and in doing so will encourage and advance our cultural education and preservation efforts.


The second annual Jizen Bazaar was a monumental success!

THANK YOU ALL!

The Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington would like to give a huge thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who were so generous with their time over the past week. We would also like to thank the many who dropped off wonderful donations, and to everyone who came out to the center on Saturday, June 20th to laugh, talk, dance, and of course buy the treasures that we had collected.

We hope that everyone had a great time - the sale was a huge success and could not have been possible without everyone's support.

Thanks so much!
