In an effort to help bridge the gap between generations of Japanese Americans, we asked William “Bill” Kaneko (Sansei), Nate Gyotoku (Yonsei) and Jacqueline Kojima (Gosei), to define, in each of their perspectives, what it’s like to be of their generation. Their answers, unique of their own experience and upbringing, shares the cohesive understanding of gratitude and kuleana that they have of their ancestors before them and what they feel must be done to continue the values and morals taught to them to the next generation.
