Published April 4, 2025 by

On December 15, 2024 we were very fortunate to have as our guest lay speaker Mr. John Toguchi, a member of Jikoen Temple. His talk emphasized the importance of sharing family stories with others and included practical advice on how to do so.

As a way of introducing his own family’s story, his talk included the screening of the movie trailer from the documentary, PERSEVERE, by director Roy Kimura.

Here is a link to the trailer:

Trailer. This short documentary looks into the lives of one particular family whose relatives were Okinawan immigrants caught up with the Japanese war effort and how they came through the challenging times of sacrifice and loss with quiet strength to create a legacy that lives through today.

We wanted to share with everybody that PBS Hawaii will be airing the documentary on Thursday, April 24 @ 8:30 p.m.
