Classic account of wartime Japanese-American internment, by the young Nisei artist who spent a year the Topaz Relocation Center in Utah. Hailed by Carey McWilliams (1944 listing above) as a "beautiful and memorable" book, "notable for its wit, sharpness of observation, objectivity and generally unsentimental attitude", and lauded by her later biographers as a "landmark...the first and arguably best-known autobiographical narrative of the wartime Japanese American relocation and confinement experience." (See other Okubo listings in this auction, including her similar sketch in a 1972 museum catalogue of her work)
