In this collection of photos and stories, Masako Fukawa brings to vivid voice the lives of Japanese Canadians as they moved from nineteenth-century Japan to coastal BC, and then from wartime internment to postwar reconstruction.

Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Canadian government forcibly removed Japanese Canadians from coastal areas to internment camps. Their homes and possessions, fishing boats and farms, were seized and either sold cheaply or left to vandals. Respected Nikkei historian Masako Fukawa takes the reader behind the narrative of Japanese Canadian internment and dispossession during World War II to recount the impetus for immigration in Japan and the pre-war immigrant struggle to establish a place in British Columbia.
