Abstract

This paper examines how Japanese in Hawaiʻi have attempted to share and pass down their war memories (especially the memories of arrest, eviction, detention, and internment) during the Days of Remembrance (hereafter DoR), between 1989 and 2022. There were 26 DoR events held during this period in Hawaiʻi. The first DoR event in Hawaiʻi was held in 1989, a year after the enactment of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. Over the past 33 years, DoR events in Hawaiʻi have provided participants with hazy wartime memories of Japanese people in Hawaiʻi. Since 2006, the focus of the event has been on the Honouliuli Internment Camp, but the experiences of those sent to internment camps on the mainland and those evicted from their homes have been underplayed. Moreover, the experience of living under martial law, which was the experience of most Japanese people in Hawaiʻi, has not been widely discussed in the event.
