| Yuriko with her mother in Tokyo 1965 |
konnichi-wa, heARTists and heART lovers of the universe!
it’s the 8th day of the 9th month and time to celebrate Yuriko’s heARTwork.
one of the best ways we’ve been doing that is by making a docu*MEMORY about Japanese war brides like herself. and, we’re very close to premiering that film for you.
during filming, we heard stories of how most Japanese war brides were unable to return to Japan to see their families for nearly a decade. back in the 1950’s, air travel was costly, rare and inaccessible for most brides married to low-salaried US military men. imagine how much you would miss your country, culture and family after spending dozens of years away from them.
in the photo above, Yuri visits her mother in Tokyo in 1965.
here’s a piece she painted of a farmhouse. although it depicted neither the home she grew up in, nor the home she later lived in, it carries the essence of family and home to her.
please take a look at the trailer we created to promote the War Brides of Japan docu*MEMORY.
