John Hasegawa is a Japanese American ceramics artist and educator who explores his Asian and American identities by combining traditional Japanese textile patterns with American objects like coffee mugs. Hasegawa's most prominent art pieces are two tile pieces for the Ireichō project, a large book that documents the names of all Japanese Americans incarcerated during WWII.
