DESCRIPTION:<strong>FREE</strong>\n\nJoin Nancy Oda\, Hiroshi Shimizu\, Mas
 umi Izumi\, Duncan Williams\, and David Yoo in a conversation moderated by
  Karen Umemoto around this groundbreaking new book\, <em>Tule Lake Stockad
 e Diary</em>. The diary\, originally written in Japanese and translated fo
 r the first time into English\, tells Tatsuo Ryusei Inouye's story of stru
 ggle and resilience in his own voice.\n\n<em>About the Book:</em>\n\nFreez
 ing winters\, starvation and terrible injustice is the stage for this Worl
 d War II diary by kibei Tatsuo Ryusei Inouye. At thirty three years old\, 
 he bravely answered “No\, Yes” to the controversial loyalty questions 
 based on his love of both the U.S. and Japan\, which caused he and his fam
 ily to be forced from Poston to Tule Lake Concentration Camp in October 19
 43. He was arrested on November 13 because he signed in at a negotiating m
 eeting.\n\nHis rare wartime diary from this time sheds a light on Tatsuo I
 nouye’s fight for dignity during the three month long struggle in a free
 zing\, chaotic high security stockade in Tule Lake. He drew inner strength
  from his judo training and writing a detailed account of the food daily. 
 His mind and spirit kept him strong. Tatsuo sent letters of love to his wo
 rried wife\, Yuriko\, and their two daughters\, Sayuri and Masako. The inj
 ustice of the Tule Lake was multiplied by the pain of the separation as th
 ey were distanced in a remote section of this high security camp.\n\nThe b
 ook includes images from the 1932 Olympic’s judo team\, war years\, and 
 reunification of the broken family. Artwork by daughter\, Masako\, is also
  included. She was a delicate four-year-old whose healing finally began as
  she shaped her memories in clay seventy years later.\n\nTule Lake Stockad
