“What does kansha mean to you?”

Throughout my childhood I always remember my parents and grandparents emphasizing the importance of kansha, or gratitude. I came to understand this cultural value not only entails saying the words “thank you,” but it stems from sentiments of deep appreciation toward others. One of my fondest memories with my grandfather is going to Grandpa and Grandma Anzai’s house after school and having “story time.” My grandfather, who loved history, would share many life lessons through this context. Amidst these stories I learned how the Issei, first generation Japanese Americans, set forth to Hawai‘i in the pursuit of opportunity to provide a life filled with stability, education and a hopeful future for generations to come. Despite obstacles Japanese Americans faced during this time frame, their perseverance to carry on evokes a sense of gratitude within me. As a Yonsei, fourth generation Japanese American, I have a sense of indebtedness toward the generations before me, for they have paved the way. Through community service I strive to give back to others and express my gratitude toward Hawai‘i, a place I am so grateful to call home. I strive to live a life filled with values such as kansha in my daily interactions and it is with great sincerity I wish to perpetuate this among future generations. My deepest appreciation goes out to those who have been a part of my life, personified by the expression okage sama de, “I am what I am because of you.”
