Director's Statement
Though the Tokyo 2020 Olympics have come to an end, we continue to live with our actions restricted due to COVID-19. Similarly, the lives of more that 2.8 million foreign residents in Japan carry greater burdens than we do. The Olympics did not become an opportunity to reflect on their lives. However, that does not mean we have lost sight of their imagination. I think this is precisely the era in which Immigration Museum Tokyo (IMM Tokyo) can steer attention to these residents and the messages they send. Last year in 2020, IMM Tokyo was planning to celebrate its 10th anniversary by holding an exhibition titled Seeing Us: Living in Japan with Roots Overseas, which was ultimately shifted online due to the pandemic. Adding and editing contents from last year, this exhibition will be held on-site and fully realized.
