Reproduction of an original painting on canvas by Miki Hayakawa from the JANM Permanent Collection.

This painting, Japanese Tea House, by Miki Hayakawa, won the Third Prize at the Berkeley League’s Annual Exhibition, 1926.
Hayakawas paintings appeared in landmark exhibitions, such as the opening show of the San Francisco Museum of Art (now SFMOMA) in 1935, and in the showcases at the Golden Gate International Exposition in 193940. This painting is now traveling in the JANM exhibition Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa, Hisako Hibi, and Min Okubo.

The word genius was used to describe her talent. She was one of the three most visible and critically acclaimed female artists of Japanese descent of the pre-World War II generations. Hayakawa relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1942 and was active in the art scene there until her early death in 1953.
