The Mukai Farm & Garden: How History Lives
Founded by Issei pioneer B.D. Mukai in 1926 as a strawberry farm, Mukai Farm & Garden today is on the National Register of Historic places with its rare heritage home, Japanese Garden, and Barreling Plant. Open and free to the public, it celebrates Vashon Island’s Japanese American and agrarian heritage. Come visit!
Mukai marks 80th anniversary of incarceration order with authors of new graphic novel, “We Hereby Refuse”
Driven by wartime fear, bigotry, and paranoia, Executive Order 9066, a
policy with lasting consequences issued 80 years ago this February,
authorized the removal and detention of more than 120,000 Japanese
Americans on the West Coast.
Saturday, February 19, at 4 p.m., Mukai Farm & Garden will commemorate
the 80th anniversary with an online discussion with Frank Abe and Tamiko
Nimura, authors of the new graphic novel, "We Hereby Refuse: Japanese
American Resistance to Wartime Incarceration.”
