The completion of the JACCC was the dream of visionary Issei and Nisei (first and second generation) Japanese American pioneers who wanted to create a permanent center for the community and its future generations. Completed in phases from 1980-83, the facility includes the five-story Center Building housing the museum-quality George J. Doizaki Gallery, conference room facilities, the award-winning James Irvine Japanese Garden, and the Plaza designed by Isamu Noguchi. The 880-seat Japan America Theatre adjacent to the Center Building is the venue for presentations ranging from performances of Grand Kabuki to contemporary work by Japanese American artists.
