Meet me at Higo image
  
Higo 10 Cents Store, owned by the Murakami family and a social hub in Seattle's Japantown, has a long and fascinating community and family history. Meet Me at Higo welcomes younger generations to connect with and explore what it means to be Japanese American.
 
Impressive personal photos, journals and artifacts are included in this traveling exhibition. Today, Higo 10 Cents Store (or Higo Variety Store) is KOBO at Higo and is still located at 604 South Jackson in Seattle's International District.
 
The book by Ken Mochizuki, also entitled Meet Me at Higo: An Enduring Story of a Japanese American Family, accompanies the exhibition and is available at the Wing Luke Marketplace and at KOBO at Higo.
