“More Than a Game: Sport in the Japanese American Community,” opening Friday at the Japanese American National Museum, uses athletic competition to look at the Japanese immigration experience in the United States.

Activities this weekend include sport demonstrations both days and a panel discussion with basketball player Wat Misaka and bowler Fuzzy Shimada on Sunday at 1 p.m.
