This section introduces the history of Wakayama emigration. We will also look at the history from different aspects, including Wakayama in Japan and Wakayama as seen from their destinations.

To the History section

This section provides information on Japanese American artists, focusing on Wakayama-related artists in the U.S. The list of artists and works will also be linked to the “Wakayama Museum Collection,” a database for searching the collections of the museums in Wakayama.

Coming soon!

This section focuses on papers and materials published in past exhibition catalogues. Our current research activities and projects, such as symposiums will also be introduced here.

To the Research section

This section will introduce school education activities and teaching materials for teaching/learning the history of Wakayama as a hometown, as well as for museum education and for the Inquiry-Based Cross-Disciplinary Study. We will also provide examples of learning activities for different ages/generations, not limited to school education.

In addition to the partner institutions of this project, other research institutions and organizations mainly in the prefecture will be introduced.
