Hāfu2Hāfu at TEDx
Hāfu2Hāfu
Hāfu2Hāfu is a unique project photographing hāfu (mixed roots people with one Japanese parent) from every country in the world and sharing their most significant questions about identity, sense of belonging or growing up with two different cultures.
Every portrayed hāfu was asked:
“What is the one question you would like to ask other half Japanese?”
Hāfu2Hāfu wants to give hāfu, inside and outside of Japan a voice, bring them closer together and create more understanding for their identity issues by facilitating (online) dialogues with their peers, families, friends, classmates and colleagues.
In order to present a complete image of being hāfu, Hāfu2Hāfu will try to document portraits and questions of hāfu of different ages, genders, places of residence and of all 192 combinations of nationalities with Japanese (there are 193 sovereign countries).
Go to portraits & questions Go to list of countries Subscirbe to newsletterHāfu2Hāfuは、世界中のハーフ(親の一人が日本人)の人々の写真を撮り、彼らのアイデンティティや帰属感、あるいは二つの文化で育った事に関する一番重要な質問を共有するユニークなプロジェクトです。 ハーフの参加者に聞きました質問は: Hāfu2Hāfu は、日本国内外に居るハーフの人々の想いを伝え、絆を深め、そしてアイデンティティの問題をもっと理解するために、彼らの仲間、家族、友人、同級生、そして同僚との間のオンライン会話を手助けするのを目的としています。 ハーフの人々の全体的なイメージを伝えるために、Hāfu2Hāfuには、年齢、性別、居住地が異なる、日本人と他の192の国(世界には193の独立国があります)すべての組み合わせのハーフのポートレートと質問を掲載することを試みています。Hāfu2Hāfu

Map of covered countries
We have now 98 different countries covered in this project about world wide mixed Japanese identity, but I am still looking for more participants to represent Japan and their other country.
