I was also born in England, but in 1959. My mother is a Canadian nisei who was born in Moosejaw. My father was also a Canadian, but of English/Irish descent. This site provides a little intro to the Canadian Nikkei community but there are lots of other, more comprehensive, resources - mostly books, but also films - if you'd like to explore more . . . best John Thanks for your note.

Found your site as I was looking up info about Greenwood where my mother was interned. She was one of the ones that was sent to Japan after the war as her mother took all the younger unmarried children there as her husband, a boat builder from Steveston, had died and there was nothing left for them in Canada. My mother met and married and Englishman who moved to Japan after the war as he had been fascinated by it while running a military re-settlement camp there for bombed-out Japanese. As I was raised in England, from 1958, my knowledge of Japanese-Canadians and their history in Canada was limited to my mother's stories. Thank you for this site...it's made everything so much clearer to me now. Hi!
