Shizuye Takashima | Artist Shizuye Takashima was eleven
years old during World War II when she and her family along with
22,000 other Canadians of Japanese origin were removed from their
homes on the west coast of Canada and sent to internment camps
in the interior. She would spend the next three years there and
the memory of that bewildering time remained so real to her that
thirty years later she could reproduce it in words and paintings
of remarkable vividness.
