After 41 years, a wealth of memories

by Ron Chew

On Monday, Hitoshi "Toni' and Tacko "Tika"Taniguchi packed up their belongings and said goodbye to the International District hotel they had managed for the past 41 years.

They left behind a wealth of memo­riesandan aging ho tel that, for the time being, will continue to provide 200units of low-income housing for the area.

The six-story structure, the Publix Hotel, is owned by Uwajimaya, Inc., which purchased the building from the Rainier Heat and Power Company in 1975. Tomio Moriguchi. president of Uwajimaya, said he plans to continue the exis ting operation of the ho tel under a newmanager,}oeYada. Butheaddcd that redevelopment of the s tructure, con!'ltructea 1m 92r.is inevi table.

liThe business is changing." Mo­riguchi said. " It doesn't serve the 5.:"1me social need it used to. It's no t the retired o lder residents anymore; many of them are not gentle people - some are vio­lent and create problems. This kind of family-run hotel can' t last forever ."

He saidofthcTaniguchis: "They were a little gruff, but they were very honest and very fair, and they took good care of the people. It was just like an extended family."

The Taniguchis took over manage­ment o.f the hotel in 1949, succeeding Mr. and Mrs. Funamori. Tony and Tika

moved here from Honolulu, where Tony had been working fora vegetablewhole­saler.

The two met during World War 1I in the internment camp in Tule Lake, Cali­fornia. Til(a, born in Tacoma, said, "We were in the same block, and he was the head waiter and I was the waitress. He used to p lay Japanese chess with my father."

Tika, a petite, vivacious woman in a scarf and cleaning apron, said she and her husband had figured on moving to Japan after the war, but they changed

theirplansafter Japan los t. Instead, they went to Hawaii.

Now, 45 years after the war, com­fortably settled in the Mt. Baker neigh­borhood of Seattle, they will finally rE>­tu rn to Japan soon - as retirees enjoy­ing a well-deserved vacation.

Almost in one voice, they said what they will miss most about the Publix Hotel: "The people." Said Tony, a fI}­

bust man with a hearty laugh, "Every day see different people. Talking all different things. Lots of fun."

In the earlier years, Tika and Tony

recalled, the hotel would come alive with the stir of young Filipino men migrating here from California,on their way to work in the Alaska canneries during the spring and summer months. These men are now a memory of the past.

Every several years, the hotel 's resi~ dent population turns over, Tony said. The sole exception is a retired man over 70 who has been living at the hotel since 1941.

I.D. service agencies begin District drug education program by Dean Wong

The International District Housing Alliance (IDHM recently began a proj­ect to empower low-income tenantsand business people in the a.rea to identify and dea l with drug problems in their buildings.

IDHA is one of13community groups in King County to receive funds from theorganization Drugs: DrawThe Line!, a project previously known as the King County Community Mobilization Against Substance Abuse.

-me aim of these grants is to stimu­late organizing activities by people in their own neighborhoods," said Sylvie McCee, project d irector of Drugs: Draw The Line!.

lDHA and the International Dis trict Emergency Center ODEc), project co­COOrdinators, will cond uct meetings

with residents at 19 hotels and apart­ment buildings in thearea. They want to educate tenants and businesses to '1:>e more aware of drug activity and at the same time educate them about d rug abuse," said Emma Catague, IDHA Executive Directorand project manager.

Some elderly residents have alcohol problems and need to know how to get treatment. "'Because of cuJtural differ­ences, they have a hard time expressing themselves. It's easier for us to go out and educate them because they know us and we can easily get their trust,'" said Catague.

Several hotels in the area have illegal d rug sales going on. "We have people monitoring it now,· she said . *We want to make the rommunity aware that this should n' t be here. We can avoid it if we work together ....

"A lot of residents are hurt by (drug activity) but don' t say a word," she continued. "Many residents don' t even come out at night."

Social service organizations wiU be contacted to "teach the agencies how to teach other people about them. Teach them how to access prognuns better, '" said Donnie Otin, IDEC director. They should know how to "look for signs of illegal drug activity in and around where their clients live."

The project coordinator.; also hope to work with police and "improve rom­munity relations with local law enforce­ment officials,' he said.

Workshopsandpublicforumswillbe organized with residents, businesses and theSeaWe Police Corrununity Rela­tions Department to develop block watt:h programs. Bilingual materials will

be made available at meetings. Volunteers are needed to t.ranslate in

Chinese and Tagalog at community meetings. The outreach may be ex~ panded to Korean and other Asian lan­guages later on in the project. "Weire talking about a diverse community," said Catague.IDHA isalso seckinggucst speakers with knowledge or experience with drug abuse.

"This is exciting and challenging; said Catague. "We want this project 10 be sucressful"

's nse of family' important to recent court appointees

by Robert hlm.bukuro

Rcrentlyappointed Municipal Court Judges c. Kimi Kondo and Stanley Phillip Taylor took their oaths of office in the Dome Room of the Arctic Build­ing April 20.

The two judges, along with their re­sp<'Clivc families, were honored in a reception which immediately followed the oath and robing ceremonies. Kondo became the first Asian woman to serve on Seattle's MUnicipal Court.

Kondo thanked layor orm Rice for "appointing Stan and I and for recog­nizing the need for diversity on the bench," and the existing municipal court judges who "gave me a warm welcome and assisted me greatly the last :few weeks. .. (They've) given me a lot of practical advice based on their experi-

enre." Rice praised the community involve­

Themayor, referring to their interviews, told the two "I remember the heroes and she­roes that you outlined as people who made up the fabric of your life and the sense of your beliefs. I loved ... hearing about your family and the sense of what

family means to you." In thanking all her friends and rela­

tives for their support, Judge Kondo singled out Dolores Bradley and Del­phia Phillips who made her feel at home when she first moved to the Central area in 1975. "They helped me get to know people, tounderstand the neighborhood and they taught me a lot." she said.

Police seek help of Vietnamese community in solving crimes

by Robert Shimabukuro About 30 local Vietnamese commu­

nity members and businessmen gath­ered April21.t Bailey Gatzert School to hear members of the Seattle Police Department's Community Criminal Investigations Unit report on the prog­ress of their investigations into recent crimes within the community.

Captain Douglas Oils also asked for community help with their investiga­tions of the Dinh Ngoc Duyen homi­cide.

He too also asked the city to study the effcctsof the arena on traffic patterns in lhe1.0.

While Santos did not openly oppose the construction of the arena, he said, "We will be watching (the Gtyl vel)' closely."

Two directors of International Dis­trict agencies expressed their reserva­tions about the proposed Seattle Super­sonies $100 million sports arena at a Seattle City Council meeting April 24.

Inter'lm Executive Director Ken Kata­hira and Seattle Chinatown lnterna tional District Preservation and Development Authority Director Bob Santos testified that the city should be concerned about the cumulative effect of recent develop­ments in and around the 1.0. on low­income residents and small businesses.

Sibonga requests modificatio ns

~ Katahira outlined four areas of con­

cern about the agreement tentatively reached between Sonies owner Barry Ackeriey and Mayor Norm Rice: .

• The impact on property values 111

the 1.0. Katahira noted the problems which arise when "outside developers with significant resources make irre­sistible offers to long time property owners."

• Theimpacton trafficand parking in the 1.0. particularly when events COIl1-

cide with the Kingdome. Katahlra asked the city to expand the scope of the,trans­portation study to asses~ the 1.0. s traf­fic and parking needs.

The most controversial issue regard­ing the Ackerley arena proposal is the City's "concessions" made to Acker­ley in return for his paying for the arena's construction. Ackerley is re­questing that he be allowed to keep the admission tax income and that the size of the existing Coliseum be "downsized" to 5,OCXJ seats.

Seattle City Council Finance Chair Dolores Sibonga, an outspoken cnhc of the proposed sports facility fecls that the city should not turn over Its admission tax income to Ackerley (one of the points of the mayor's agree­ment with Ackerley), "unless an over­whelming public benefit is shown."

Shealso has expressed objections to the "downsizing" of the Coliseum, feeling that no decisions should be made about the Coliseum until the city decides the future of SeallleCen­ter.

~nfair' cuts in Bilingual Program concern educators

by of ary Akounin.

Enrollment in the Transitional Bilin­gual Education program is increasing at a time when overall enrollment in the Seattle School District is on the decline. Last year, the program grew nearly 20%, at a rate faster than projected, and cur­rently has close to 4,000 students.

Despite these increases# however# funding cuts of between $OS and $1 million are being discussed for the pro­gram beginning in the next academic year.

grated to the country. The aim, accord­ing to program director Art Kono, is to mainstream students in to the district's regular classrooms.

Kono said tile program consists of two types of classes. 1lle introductory English classes are taught at Cleveland High School and three other locations. They are d esigned for people "with limi ted or no English skills: and in­struction is done using simplified Eng· Iish grammar and vocabulary. Instruc­tors teach such courses as read ing, s0-

cial s tudies, ma th and basic survival skills. Bilingual instructional assistants assist students in understanding class­room concepts.

Educators are concerned about the impact of the tentative cuts on the pro­gram. BeI\Y Lau, who has taught in the bilingual program for over ten years, said the cuts are unfair.

"It's not fair to take away education dollars from a growing population to take care of the budget deficit," she said. "Especially when cuts are not made in areas such as office redecorating, travel perks and expenses of administrators."

But many feel the Transitional Bil in­gual Education program is not Operat­ing at the level it should . In 15years, the program has received funding for tex t­books only once. Teachers who evalu­ated the program ina 1989needsasscss­ment tited. as a particu]ar concern the "lack of curriculum materials appropri­ate for widely differing student ability levels."

Lau said she would like to see the program adequately funded, with "adequate staffing, materials, supplies and textbooks."

Bilingual education top priority of mayor's pre-summit meeting

Lau feels the proposed cut will harm the education of students. " It (thecuts) translates into cutting teachers and inter­preters, and driving up the class size."

School District Deputy Superinten­dent Benjamin Soria said the bilingual transi tiona! program is not being singled out for funding cuts. As much as $6.2 million in cuts may have to be made, he said# and lithe superintendent is review-

But she noted that the bilingual pro­gram #1"Ias never been considered. a pri­ority by the district." One of the reasons is because the students' parents llcan't speak English, they don't understand the (education) system." So their politi­cal clout is small compared to parents whose interests lie with other programs.

'Get involved'

Student gathering stresses campus, community ties

by Mary Akamine

Students new in from east o( the mountains and as farawayasCalifomia to attend the first WaShington State Asian/Pacific Islander Student Union (WA APSU) conference last weekend.

The day-long conference, held April 28 at Seattle Central Community, (ea­tured workshops on community net­working, campus organizing and iden­tity and empowennent.

A total o( 60 campus representatives from eight different state colleges and universities participated. Theconference also drew the atte.ntion of local agencies and community groups. About 30 community representatives, induding panelists, were at the conference.

The conference began with updates from each of the various campuses, fol­lowed by a morning session for work­shops. The morning panel on campus organizing featured several community members with extensive experience.

Craig Shimabukuro, diTector o( the Disarmament and Global Justice PTo­gram for the American Friends Service Committee, offered students advice gained throughou t over 20 years expe­rience as a community organizer. He emphaSized the importance of fonning alliances with other groups and organi­zations, and said it is also important to enjoy each other's company - to have fun and be creative.

Tracy Lai, a (ounding member o( the California APSU netwoTk and a faculty member at Seattle Central Community College, said students need to make sure the membership rules for their organizations reflect a sense of common purpose. She said that might mean drafting something like a constitution.

This is necessary, she said, in order for gro'up members to develop a "sense o( responsibility and accountability."

The afternoon session on community networking focused on how students can become involved in bettering the lives of others in their community.

MaTtha Choe, vice president o( the BankofCalifomia,encouragedstudents to explore the option of corporate in­volvement in their activities, to attend fundraisers, to research political candi­dates, and to get involved in political events and campaigns.

Manosothy Ken, a student at The Evergreen State College active in volun­tccr work with the Cambodian commu­nity, said students need to do less talk­ing and be active outside the classroom. "It's very nice to sit in a place like this and never go and do anything." Service agencies are understaffed and can use a lot o( volunteeT help.

Aiomanu Betty Patu, the Seattle Put>­licSchool District's specialist on At-Risk Pacific IslandeT students, talked about specific problems (aced by the Samoan community.

TraditionaISamoanfamilies,shesaid, teach theiT childTen to act (OT the group and to ilnever do anything by oneself" _ values that go against America's individualistic culture. Samoan students have to deal with the low expectations of school educa tOrsi she said, along with

peer and family pressure. As a result, the Samoan commun.ity now has the highest drop-out rate among all ethnic groups.

Pat'll encouraged students to build a coa1ition that includes high school stu­dents. "We need to work together and encourage everyone," she said.

A third panel on identity and em­powerment featured human rights ac~ tivist Sutapa Basu, (ilm-maker and writeT Bill Blauvelt and child develop­ment specialist Kathy Wong.

Blauvelt discussed the portrayal o( Asians in the media, andgave examples of positive role model and negative SteTeotypes.

Basu discussed the importance of de­veloping a support group (or oneseJ( among other Asian Americans. Wong said establishing an Asian American identity comes naturally. One's Asian heritage doesn't come about from monthly or week1y cultural rituals.

Campuses represented at the eonfeT­cnce were as fo llows: Central Washing­ton University, Everett Community College, The Evergreen State College, Seattle Central Community College, Seatlle University, the University of Washington . Washington State Univer­sity and Western WaShington Univcr~ sity.

The conference was the firs t of its kind since the 1970's. Students said their increased activism is, in part, a reaction to the conservative legacy o( the R.,. agan-Bush years.

Among those who helped organize the conference were the Washington State Commission on Asian American Affairs, Patricia Lee, Ron Chew, Deni Yamauchi, and Tracy Lai.

A (ollow-up meeting is scheduled (or later this month. Students say they will discuss a constitution and an agenda at that meeting. For more details, contact Selena Dong at 547-4917.

'Be realistic, makemoney'

By Greg Tuai

Among the lines I'd like to sec placed on a one way trip to the outer limits of the galaxy are "Hey, I know where you' re coming from. I hear you," "Only time will tell/' "'Let's interface, M and "Let's DO lunch." But first to go should Ix! the patronizing line, -se realistic."

Rcrently, I heard a member of the Seatt1eChineserommunityonNational Public Radio news defend improved relations with China despite China's draconian treatment of its dissidents and the massacre atTiananmen Square. Her rationale went something like this: "Hey, we've ignored them for 30 ycars and it didn' t do any good, so let's be re­alistic. They aren' t going to chan get so we may as well trade with them (and make money) regardless of th~ir a):mse of basic human rights."

We've heard these a rguments before. Do South Africa, Guatemala, and EI Salvador ring any bells? All 01 these countries are not exactly bastions of frcc expression and human rights. Yet Americans smell the odor of quick monC'y, SO on go the blinders and out come the "corporate spokespersons" to defend inv~tmcnts as a means of exer­cising control and pushing the grand democratic agenda.

"Be realistic." The motivation is cold, hard cash. The Reagan policy 01 "con­structive engagement" with regard to South Africa was a bad joke. No person, outside of the corporate board room, will defend constructi ve engagement as anything but a smoke screen to mask grc<Xi. If constructive engagement did work, why didn' t the South African government recognize that it's policies wercdoomed unti l foreign banks started makingnoiscaboutextendingtoansand foreigncorporationspulledoutolSouth Africa? It was my understanding that it was of paramount importance that these multj-national corporations remain in South Africa.

Setting the record straight by Dean Wong

Let's get the facts straight. The China Express Restaurant where a man was killed last month, is not located in the International District as reported by the Se1tti. Times and I<SIW' s Ten O'Oock News on April 23.

We should be impressed tha t benevolent corporations such as Sony, Hilton Ho­tels, Coke Cola, R. J. Reynolds, J. W.

"Peoples of Washington, Perspectives on CultuTal Di-versity,"

Edited /ry Sid White wId S.E. Solberg Washington StIlte University Press Seuttk, 1989

Reviewed by Ron Chew

This is a fresh collection of OS5<1YS by five writers who draw upon their depth of knowledge as commu­nity his torians to create panoramic sketches of this state's ethnic communities.

"Peoples of Washington" was the ou tgrowth of researchoriginalliconducted for a wid e-ranging pho to exhibition of the same name that toured the state during Washington's 1989 centennial celebration. I admired the exhibit fori tsa ttTactive use of clean, large images and its focus on people and communities, no t buildings and arti facts. In tone and perspective, the book serves as a perfect companion to the exhibi t.

Each essayist is a respected scholar and historian with intimate knowledge of local ethnic history. Each is also an active community part icipant, with the sensi tivity and insight one gains from that experience. Clifford Tra fzer wri tes about Native Americans; Rich­ard Scheuerman about European Americans; Esther Mumford about African Americans; Gail Nomura about Asian Pacific Americans; and Carlos Gil abou t Hispan ic Americans.

In the introduction, Sid White, the visionary force behind theproject,describos the book as a collection of diverse stories "organized around themes of migra­tion, settlement, struggle, accomplishment and con­tribution." White's brief piece captures precisely the empathetic tone of the essays, as does a brief poetic epilogue by Solberg.

The edi tors a re to be commended for their bold approach. They encouraged the writers to eschew the stuffy, objectified posture of the traditional his torian and to create their essays from a blend of historical

know ledge, communi ty anecdote, oral interviews and personal observations. I find this kind of history vig­orous and provocative.

I especia lly enjoyed Esther Mumford's piece, a smoothly composed and very heartfelt narrative of the African American migration to this state and the longstanding struggle of Black ci tizens to surv ive and win equali ty. She recounts the special role of the church and working women in this struggle. And she fortifies her essay with stories of the pioneers, includ­ing George Bush, an early settler who came to fann in Thurston County in 1845, James Kirk, a lifelong activ­ist who helped organize the railroad waiters, and Maxine Hayncs, who tenaciously pursued her dream to become a nurse dcspite obstacles of racism.

My o ther favorite 'Was Gail Nomura's essay. She covers a lot o f ground, from the arrival of the firs t wave of Hawaiian sailors in the late 1700s, to the Southeast

Asian boat people in the 1980s- witha whole lot else sandwiched in between. It was a tricky job to organize the his tory of so many diverse subgroups -each with thei r own history and culture - wi thout resorting to g lib genera liza tions or losing the reader in a fractured jumbo of information. Nomura succeeds in prescnt­ing a prccisca nd compelling story. Her esscl Y is easily the best summary his tory I've read on Asian Pacific Americans in Washing ton sta te.

Scheuerman has the same dauntiog task of covering many d istinct groups - the immigrants from the nations of Europe who came in different waves - but he's less successful. His text, a gold mine of info rma­tion, is a bit too detailed to diges t very easi ly.

Asian American Studies as we know it today was not yet bom in 1962 when Roger Daniels published his "The Politics of Prejudice: The Anti-Japanese Move­ment in California and the Struggle for Japanese Ex­clusion." Daniels approached his subject matter as American immigration historyl treating Asian mi­grants asothcrsh.ld depicted European migrants, but he also anticipated some of the assumptions of the neW generation of Ethnic Studies scholars born out of the struggles of the late 19605 in his unninching stand against anti-<iemocrahca ttitudes and actionsand fierce defense of those victimized by racism and prejudice.

His latest work, "Asian America: Chinese and Japa­esc in the United States since 1850," is the culmina­~on of over twenty-five years of diligent labor in a ~lected area of American history. The book, in fact, is important not only for what is contains, but also for what it represents - the ma.tu~ statcmen.t?f a semor scholar writing Ethnic StudIes 11\ the trad,t,on of U.S.

immigration history. Accordingly, to Daniels, from the forces that impelled emigration to the sojourner mentality to the harshness of immigTant Hfe and labor. Asians were like a lt other immigrants in America where the differences were of degrees rather than kind.

At the same time, Daniels is much too keen an observer of the past to make simplistic generaliza­tions, and he shanes the perspective of Asian Amcri­canists who see human agency as the central features of their story. "Asian America," thus, straddles tradi. tional and Ethnic Studies approaches to American history, and in retrospect could very likely be identi­fied as the apogee of what might be called the "liberal school" o f Asian American Studies.

The book deals only with Chinese and Japanese Americans - an aspect of Asian American Studies textbooks that has bccomearchaic-and is organized around eight themes and periods that generally deal with the principals as separa te entities, although comJA1risons across ethnic lines are occasionally drawn. The beneHts of the comparative approach are perhaps best illustrated in the chap ter on the contrasting im­pacts that World War 11 had on Chinese and Japanese Americans. The book's eight chapters are: Chinese immigration; the anti-Chinese movement; Chinese American communities from 1880 to 1941 ; Japanese

immigration and the anti-Japanese movemen~ Ja~ nese Amcricancommunities from 1920 to 1941;WorId W", 11; the Cold Wan; and the era of the model minority.

Although the mapr outline of this book is familiar to mos t students of Asian American history, Daniels tells the story wen and adds new information and insights. He also ranges beyond California to the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain states, ex­tending our understanding of the Asian American experience. In addition to his description of the better­known San Francisco Chinatown, Daniels uses Butte, Montana'sChinatown- based largc1yon the work of Rose Hum Lee-as a surrogate of other like outposts of Chinese America scattered throughout the Ameri­can West.

Another example of how ,. Asian America" deepens our historical understanding is seen in Daniels' ex~ pansion of his own work on the wartime concentra­tion camps. Of current interest is his discussion of JACL conaboration with those who removed and confined the people they purported to speak for, and resistance which, although framed in the same way as his earlier writings as the "right" (or pro-Japan) and "left" (or pro-American) opposition, Daniels makes a case for Japanese resistance to oppression, countering Ihe prevalent stereotype of docility.

Japanese American Women: I A more inclusive view'

"/,,,xm,,,, Amoioln Worn"", Thrre Gen""tUms 1890-1990" by Mti wno Aii"" Press Publishing ~ky, SdNzsIopol, 1990

Reviewed by Holly V.sui

At a conference of Asian American women writers, Nellie Wong related an incident that occurred when she was working as a secretary ata university. A dispute had arisen between the Asian American Studies faculty, comprised of Asian American men, and the clerical staff, comprised of women, all whi re ex­cept Wong. A faculty member ap­proached her and asked: "Are you with those white women, or with us Asian Americans?"

Asian American women bear thedual burdens and insights of an underclass within an underclass. The assumption that Asian American women must have divided loyalties rests on the miscon­ception that Asian American women are 50% Asian American and 50% woman.

Mei Nakano's recentIy released book, '1apanese American Women: Three

Generations, 1890-1990" addresses that double bind with both Asian American and feminist consciousness. In her in­troduction, she notes:

'The imprisonment of Japanese Americans in camps during World War Ii so enraged a number of right-minded people that it moved them to produce a burst of literature. Yet, when one scans that lit­erature, one finds that it is . . . a record almost exclu­Sively about men."

Nakanosetsout to telia "history of women" with a "'more inclusive view •.. not merely thechronicling of events of the past." She cites as her goal the idea "of history as primarily about people ... an ac­count of their states of mind as well as their ac­tions."

This isa radical view of history, from the bottom up rather than from the

top down. But Nakano docs not lose sight of the l'big" events shaping the lives of Japanese American women. In fact, she does much with her unique perspective to shed light on the Japa­nese American corrununity's wartime experiences and redress movement. Her collection of intimate, telling incidents that make up the fabric everyday life lends substance and texture to these events that many have studied from the outsidel but few know or have articu­lated from the inside.

This compeliing inside story is best imparted when women themselves speak of their lives; the book is liberaiiy sprinkled with quotations from inter­views that enliven the text with the voices of women who lived this history. Nakano's recounting of stories is also imbued with great respect for the teller as well as the ta le.

Nakano does an excellent job conrextualizing the experience of Japa­~ese Amencan women by providing inSIghts mto patriarchial Japanese cul­t~ a,nd the struggle for and against assimilation/Americanization by nisei and sansei women.

As a sansei woman, I found particu­larly interesting the chapter on Issei women and the family (the "'-male­dominated kinship system with atten­dant social ~trictures) and the chaprer on women 10 the community: fujinJazj (women's church clubs),kenjinkaiQapa_ nese prefecture-based associations), Japanese language schools, and the vernacular press. Phrases I've heard sincechildhood-kDdomonotameni("for the sake of thechildrenH

) and shi kalJl ga 7IJJi ("it can't be helped"}-tookon res0-

nance as I read about the profound dedication of Issei women to their fami­lies including "triple duty" as pioneer Wife/mother, unpaid domestic worker, and wage laborer.

This book made me realize that cul­ture is a deep, living process. Our moth· ers worked hard to give us opportuni­ties denied to them and thei r mothers. But we sansei would be foolish to think we can simply reject the sexism of our Japanese American heritageand bcdone with it, any more than we can fully restore to ourselves Japanese American culture by simply attending crmatsuri festivals and cooking Japanese (ood. To truly cast away that which is repressive and embrace that which we wish to retain, we must understand and appre­ciate the whole social context in which our traditions are embedded. Nakano's book, more than any other I've read, provides fuel for that ongoing process.

In another gestureof nonconventional history-making. Nakano includes an essay, "Obaasan," by Grace Shibata. This brief portrait of an extraordinary ordi­nary Issei woman fills out with loving detail the more general historical ac­count presented by Nakano. It also provides transition between the sections on issei and nisei women.

Nakano focusses broadly on the ni­sei. She relates, without self-pity, the

Endo remained at Topaz Relocation Camp until June, 1945. '1 could have left earlier" Nakano quotes her, "but Pun:elliher attorney) needed metobeincamp."TheSupremeCourt's ruling in favor of Endo in late 1944 opened the camp gates and the West Coast to Japanese Americans. It was Endo's extended imprisonment that won freedom for those otherwise un­able to attain it. .

The PJstware.ra was for nisei women a time during which the (amily and work ethic were tested to the J i mit. Most nisei women raised families, including daughters who were given not only the support but also the means to make choices that were unavailable to earlier generations.

In the last chapter of this section, Nakano credits the civi\ ngh" and women's rights movements of the'60s and '70s with "widening the horizons" of nisei women. Involvement in the redress campaign culminated in the Commissionon Wartime Relocation and Internment of Ovilians (CWRIC) hear­ings and the subsequent redress bilis passed into law.

We were among thedesigners invited by the Milliken Mills to La Grange, Georgia. It's a real one--mill town, once entirely owned by Mister Calloway.

Westayedat the Calloway Inn next to Calloway Gardens which is not unlike Orlando's Disneyworld, only i(s the real thing.

The woods are blooming with wild azaleas and dogwood along brooks and meadows lined with weeping willows leading to pristine ponds stocked with swans and trout. An indoor garden restaurant has carefully arranged rows of live tulips, daffodils, pansies, and hyacinths at the foot of a 3O-foot water­fall . A conservatory is filled with hun­dreds of live butterflies of every color and species floa ting above tropical plants and Chinese ducks.

Two weeks la ter, we used our travel coupons to join our d aughter and hus­band in Hilton Head where his fa ther lives.

The nearest we could get was to JacksonvilIel Florida, 134 miles away. Werenteda car and drove the Test of the way, stopping off at Savannah, Georgia for lunch.

American food must have originated in the South. We had southern fried chicken, red rice, buttermilk biscuits, rollard greens,candied yams, okra, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, succotash, rutabaga, pickled beets, snap beans,

Cultural change inTaiwan

by Mary Akamine

TheUniversityofWashingtonhosted a four-day conference in April on cul­tural change in postwar Taiwan.

The conference, co-sponsored by the UW and National Taiwan University, featured leading experts from the U.s. and Taiwan who discussed Taiwan's literature, religion, art, law and family structure. A total of 26 papers were presented.

squash, stew, chicken wi th egg noodles, iced tea with pecan pie, banana pud­ding or cherry cobbler for lunch!

You get all of the above and more at Savannah's Miss Wilkes Boarding House from 11:30 to 2:30, Monday through Friday.

It's likeSunday supper at Ma's. Come early, they start lining up by 11 a.m., and there are only six family style tables of eight. Don' tdig right in, "Mix" Wilkes says grace first, and don' t forget to bus your plate when you're done.

As we flew over and drove through the Fiorida, Georgia, and South Caro­lina landscape, we were struck by the southcm pines and vas t acres of land . Anothercommon sighton the mad were the U-hauls heading north and the RV's heading south where we were going.

There are very few urban communi­ties in the deep south. In place of cotton fields, plantations, and a few manufac­turing plants like the Milliken, there are golf courses.

With the aging of the boomers, golf is a better inves tment than stocks. Mem­berships in ScatUe have quadrupled. In the Sou th, courses are everywhere, there are golf islands off the gulf.

We stayed on a 722-acre resort island. This was like summer camp for the well­to-do. There's an 18-hoIe, Nicklaus designed golf course, Stan Smith Inter­national tennis center, Equestrian Cen­ter, Sportsman's Lodge, Southern Plan­ta tion Inn, $250,000 beach "cottages," Beach Oub, lakes stocked with fish.

ProfessorStevanHarrelI.. UWanthro­pology professor, summarized the con­ference proceedings during a press brief­ing Saturday morning.

After 20 years of rapid economic de­velopment, he said, Taiwanese society is characterized by a shift "from cer­tainty to doubt, from romfortable con­text to anxiety," and the Taiwanese people are now in "almost universal agreement" that their country is "'in a crisis."

Professor Harrell characterized the crisis of modem Taiwan as onein which traditional values and sources of iden­tity conflict with modem life.

Guests arrive by a private one-hour ferry, really a fancy yacht. No cars are allowed on the island; one walks, bikes or drives motorized golf carts.

In my cart I explored the island while everyone was golfing. Saw baby 'gators in the ponds, dolphins playing in the ocea n and driftwood beaches amid trimmed. grounds, gazebos and ram­bling rose trellis framed boardwalks. Would like to have seen more, but the ga te keeper poli tely told me that carts were not allowed outside the fence.

It was a real long way from Canton Alley.

The South we saw was beautiful. But like all visitors we didn't see much of the local people and community. The Southerners we came across were gra­cious and seem to live in a comfortable '50s time warp.

Our 70-year-<>ld Calloway Garden guide was channing. The farthest she had traveled was to Atlanta. She re­vered "Mr." Calloway and "Mr." Mil­liken, and wanted to give me a copy of Southern HOSpitality and a sweater to ward off the chill . Spring in the South can get down to the low 20's.

While Joey waited in line for lunch at Miss Wilkes, I found a bargain pre-war English tea set from Japan in an antique store. I asked to have it packed to fit under the airline sea t. The owner told me she had never been on a plane.

Exploring the resort in my motor cart, I fou nd out that all staff, including the golf pros, could not s tay on the island. Most Southern service employees are African American.

"'Everybody'S worried about the de­cline of morals and ethics," he said . .. At the same time, everybody is anxious to gain the best of modem life in a develM

oped counlry ... Some people worry that this is a contrad.ic tion: iDa I find my self­identity as part of the group, which is Ihe traditional Chinese way of thinking about things, or do I find my self-iden­tity in my own achievements?"

He noted thatTaiwan'scrisis involves a "series of conflicting identities." "People still have a local identity, which in earlier times was important, H he said. But they are also identi fied now as people ofTaiwan, and as Chinese. And

Toshiro Mifune: JI have had to commit seppuku many times'

by Connie Sugahar.

Japan's most famous actor, Toshiro Mifune, was in town last week to attend the premiere of his latest movie, "Death ofaTeaMaster."Thefilmisbeingshown as a part 01 a japanese Film Festival organized by the Seattle Cherry Blos­som Festival.

The film is based on the novel. "Honkubo lbun," by Yasushi inoue, which is about Sen no Rikyu (played in the film by Mifune), who teaches the tea ceremony. "Death of a Tea Master," directed by Kei Kumai, won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Sen no Rikyo lived 400 years ago and was the tea master of Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Hidcyoshi was a ruthless warlord who ordered Rikyu into exile and finally to death.

Honkakubo, a student of Rikyu, tells the story of his teacher to another tea master, Uraku, who also knew Rikyu. Uraku is curious about the events that lead to Rikyu's seppuleu, or suidde.

Mifune, who has played in over 140 films during his40 year career. has tx:-n in many historical films that call for hIm to perform the ritual suidde: "1 ~~ve had to commit seppuku many times, he said; "but I have no problem with it."

He said that unless people had wealth, they couldn' t follow the way of .tea because the utensils were expensive. Today, people do the tea ceremony as

leisure activity, especially in Kyoto. Mifune said he became interested in

acting alter World War lI. He attended an acting school for one year. In 1947 he debuted in the film, "Snow Trail."

His first film with the well-respected director, Akira Kurosawa, was "Drunken Angel: made in 1948. This began his long association with Kuro­sawa in a stTing of films which included "Rashomon," "Hidden Fortress," "Yojimbo," "Sanjuro," "High and Low," and Akahige" (Red Beard).

Mifune said he doesn't have a favor­ite role, but always gets into his charac­ter. For "Rashomon," he saKi he ripped his clothing and grimaced as much as he could to get into the character role of a rough thief.

After his Seattle visit, Mifune left for San Francisco where he was the Grand Marshall 01 this ye.(s j.pantown Cherry Blossom Parade. He brought a Shogun costume on this trip to wear during the parade.

Editor's Note:The japanese Film F",ti­val will show two films slarring MiJ!lneon Sunday, May 6 ("High and Low'); and Sunday, May 13 ("Zaloichi Meels YOjimbo").
