Japanese Eyes American Heart

Japanese Eyes, American Heart - Learning to Live in Hawai’i - Volume III

Compiled for the Tendai Educational Foundation

In his ongoing quest to understand the character of the Nisei in Hawai‘i, Rev. Ryokan Ara, Bishop of the Tendai Mission of Hawaii, learned that the Nisei generation had endured unusual and varying experiences. Those real-life experiences, he concluded, were instrumental in shaping the Nisei generation’s character, leadership skills and foresight and were a catalyst in bringing about sweeping social, economic and political changes in postwar Hawai‘i.

Includes stories from David Iha, Yoshinobu Oshiro, Jane Serikaku, Herbert Shimabukuro, and others.
