Japanese Eyes, American Heart: Volume II - Personal stories compiled by the Hawaii Nikkei History Editorial Board.
“We were awakened by a ‘boom-boom’ sound like that of distant thunder on that Sunday morning.” So begin many of the stories in this book by Japanese Americans living in Hawaii on December 7, 1941 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
These personal recollections, many of them written for the first time, capture the experiences and feelings of what it was like to be Japanese in Hawaii during World War II. Everything changed for all residents of the then Territory of Hawaii as the devastating attack sparked the entry of the United States into World War II. For Hawaii’s Japanese especially, who made up about 40 percent of the population, the ensuing war with an enemy who looked like them cast suspicion on aliens and American citizens alike. Yet during the war, no act of sabotage or espionage was ever committed by Hawaii’s Japanese.
As the second volume of Japanese Eyes, American Heart, this book complements the personal memoirs presented in the first book by nisei soldiers, who served with gallantry and distinction on the war front for our nation. Together they offer insights into a generation’s moment in history that challenged our country to live up to its democratic ideals and created new opportunities for the Japanese in Hawaii.
Details: Hard cover. 224 pages. Book measures approximately 6 inches by 9 inches.
Proud to be a supporter of the PHP cause. Especially when I get the privilege to wear a shirt honoring our boys who have been lost but not forgotten. Please continue to add new and distinctive shirts and I will keep on buying!
The shirt is pretty and fit is true to size. When I finish the hike the shop outside was closed. I’m glad I was able to purchase my accomplishment (shirt and certificate) online.
I purchased this flag as a gift for a friend’s 65th birthday. I was looking for something unique and this flag really filled the bill. It was a simple process and everything went as planned. Once the flag arrived I was absolutely thrilled with my purchase. It was everything I expected. Being able to add the certificate with my friends fathers name was a special extra!
This Tee Shirt comes in a beautiful shade of blue with the Diamond Head Natural Historic Site in a stunning green with the circle around it. It also has a smaller version of the Diamond Head on the sleeve. Very unique.
I had the privilege in 2017 to visit Pearl Harbor. It was a visit that I had wanted to make since I was a boy. The tour and the guide provided insights with great reverence to the "Day of Infamy". Since the visit I wanted to have a flag that was flown on the Arizona, I am building a new home and it will be a pleasure to fly this flag on my new flag pole in memory of and reverence for the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice that day in 1941. Thank you!
