A Passage Through SEVEN LIVES is a stunning and perceptive
memoir/history of Japanese culture and imperialism before and after
the WW II. It is told with sensitivity and a warming, personalized
look at the life of ordinary citizens both in the U.S. and Japan.
Kyo Takahashi weaves a majestic tapestry, using the history of
Japan and bloody battlefields as the warp, and lives of people who
were involved in the war, as the weft. The author's personal
recollections are interspersed with a detailed review of the
political and social history of this era. Every fact was blended in
carefully with artistic illustrations of key individuals and
various events, creating a shocking and enlightening panorama. This
book is a valuable addition for those not familiar with modern
Japanese history. It also tells the American Friends Service
Committee's supportive actions for Japanese Americans who were sent
to the internment camps.
