Mira Nakashima signing the Ireicho

A few weeks ago, Carol Sauvion, Executive Director of Craft in America, attended a historic event where Mira Nakashima signed the Ireicho, the book that contains all the names of the Japanese Americans who were sent to the internment camps during WWII. The Ireicho is currently at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. It is possible to make
an appointment to mark the book in honor of the internees. The book will soon travel to the next host museum.

Mira Nakashima was featured in the LANDSCAPE episode.
