DESCRIPTION:&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.5em\;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paintings of internmen
 t carry the echo of three generations&lt;/strong&gt;\n\nA new exhibition opening
  April 22 at UVic’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://legacy.uvic.ca/&quot;&gt;Legacy Art Galler
 y Downtown&lt;/a&gt; focuses on Japanese Canadian identity\, community and fami
 ly. \n\n&lt;em&gt;Isshoni: Henry Shimizu’s Paintings of New Denver Internment
 &lt;/em&gt; centres the voices of three generations—&lt;em&gt;issei&lt;/em&gt; (first ge
 neration) pioneers who came to Canada from Japan in the late 1800s\, &lt;em&gt;
 nisei&lt;/em&gt; (second generation) and &lt;em&gt;sansei&lt;/em&gt; (third generation)
 —to provide deep insights into the intergenerational trauma of the force
 d uprooting and internment of Japanese Canadians during the Second World W
 ar.\n\nDr. Henry Shimizu was born in Prince Rupert in 1928. In 1942\, he w
 as one of 21\,460 Japanese Canadians involuntarily relocated from BC’s c
 oast and interned during the war—with homes\, farms\, businesses and pri
 celess personal belongings dispossessed as the direct result of racist leg
 islation and a sustained federal campaign by the Canadian government. Shim
 izu was only a teenager at the time.\n\nWhen Shimizu and his family were r
 eleased after years of confinement in the Slocan Valley from an internment
  camp consisting of 16 dozen wood shacks (with only one outhouse for every
  50 persons)\, they moved to Edmonton—leaving BC behind\, where his fath
 er had owned the New Dominion Hotel in Prince Rupert before the war.
