A digital museum has been completed and opened to the public with valuable photographs posted on the website in order to preserve the history of Japanese and Japanese immigrants in New York, USA.
Many Japanese have moved to New York since before the war and have been active in various fields such as business, art, and scholarship, but there was no museum focusing on the history of Japanese and Nikkei.
For this reason, the local Japanese commemorate the 160th anniversary of the first official visit from Japan, the "Embassy to the United States of America," which visited New York last year. A digital museum was completed in which representatives of Japanese descent and Japanese people called and published the materials collected in various places on the Internet.
