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.
I am completely satisfied with the quality and graphic design on some coffee mugs I recently purchased. When I have my morning coffee the pictures of Pearl Harbor remind me of the great price that was paid for liberties that most people take for granted. Being a veteran and coming from a family with many veterans makes me feel even more honored to live in the U.S. Thank you for keeping the memories of our warriors alive.
I was so excited to gift this ornament to my son this year. Shipping took too long and it arrived with the plastic coating crinkled and there was a hole in the ornament.
I’m collecting shot glasses from the 50 states. I was in Hawaii several years ago and wasn’t collecting them at the time. So I had to order it online and they did not disappoint.
We were planning a trip to Hawaii and came across the Pacific Historic Parks website. I noticed that they offer a flag that will be flown on any day of the year. My Son-In-Law lost his Mother & Aunt in a accident on December 7, 2017. I thought this would be an awesome gift in honor of them. I wrote a letter of the circumstances to let them know why this was such a wonderful opportunity to honor a loved one. We gave the Flag to him on Christmas and it was very emotional. It came with a certificate that stated when it was flown and in honor of his Mom and Aunt's names.
I purchased a flag as a gift for my son who is very patriotic. The Flag was flown over the Arizona on December 7, 2025 and arrived in time for Christmas. Communication with the folks at Pacific Parks was exceptional. I had no doubt that the Flag would arrive in time. Thanks for great customer service.
I bought this book for my husband for Christmas. He really likes the book. We've been to Pearl Harbor twice and if we ever get the chance we will probably visit again.
