Nikkei Heritage Association of Washington dba
Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington


A New Generation Carries on a Legacy


The dream for a Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington (JCCCW) is coming true: ONE PLACE for Japanese cultural and community activities! This project is a branch of Nikkei Heritage Association of Washington (NHAW), a non-profit organization, hoping to build a new facility at the historic Seattle Japanese Language School.

Issei pioneers developed the school's site over hundred years ago. Today, a new generation is hoping to carry on that legacy by preserving and expanding the site. It is hoped that the currently active buildings will be rehabilitated with a new addition on the remaining vacant land to accommodate a variety of martial arts, community gatherings, language classes, performances, Japanese arts, historical archive, and cultural resources.


NHAW/JCCCW program pillars are:
  • Community Gathering Place
  • Multicultural, Intergenerational Education
  • Arts, Culture and Language
  • Historic Preservation and Heritage
  • International Exchange
