“Study for a Self-Portrait” by Hisako Hibi (Japanese-American) - Oil on canvas / c. 1944 - Japanese American National Museum (Los Angeles, California) #WomenInArt #JANM #art #WomensArt #artText #WomanArtist #HisakoHibi #Hibi #JapaneseAmericanArt #artwork #Selfportrait #JapaneseAmericanNationalMuseum
This self-portrait shows Japanese-born American artist Hisako Hibi against a soft, indistinct background of gray and beige tones. She faces forward with steady directness, her dark eyes meeting our gaze. Her expression is steady, unsmiling to convey dignity under duress. Her black hair is neatly parted and drawn back, framing her oval face. She wears a muted green blouse with a pointed collar, rendered with broad, confident brushstrokes. The subdued palette and simplicity highlight her thoughtful presence. In 1944, behind the barbed wire of the Topaz War Relocation Center, Hisako Hibi painted herself with quiet determination. She, her husband (painter Matsusaburo “George” Hibi), and their children, like thousands of Japanese Americans, had been uprooted from their San Francisco home and confined in the Utah desert. In “Study for a Self-Portrait,” Hibi stares out with steady eyes, her expression calm yet tinged with sorrow. The muted palette and simplicity of form reflect the starkness of camp life, but also her refusal to be silenced. Amid hardship, she taught art, painted whenever supplies allowed, and used her canvas to affirm identity and endurance. This act of self-portraiture was not merely personal; it was a declaration of presence in a moment when her community was reduced to numbers. After the war, she returned to San Francisco, where she continued to paint and eventually recorded her camp experiences in “Peaceful Painter.” Today, her work is recognized not only for its aesthetic merit but also for its testimony of resilience, creativity, and survival. Hibi’s impact lies in her ability to transform personal suffering into lasting art, giving voice to a history often overlooked.

The #JapaneseAmericanNationalMuseum was tagged during Sunday’s march and subsequent unrest.
The museum stands to remind people that in WWII, U.S. citizens were sent to #internmentcamps by the President. And they fight to ensure it never happens again.
Tagging this building was beyond heinous.

No more " #ShikataGaNai ". I heard this defeatist phrase tossed around a lot by my #JapaneseAmerican family growing up. It basically means "There is nothing to be done about it." Maybe the only way to survive in the 1940s, but not today. #JapaneseAmericanNationalMuseum #LittleTokyoLA #JANM #Nikkei
A shirt for sale in the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles that says "no more shikata ga nai." It is paired with an apron/skirt made from a rice sack.
