Description

Morishima reflects on the pleasant experience of attending school in Japan as a Japanese American, even after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He then describes his mother and siblings being stranded in Japan due to illness while his father was held in detention in Boston. He would have no communication with his father for four years. The segment ends with his conscription into the Japanese Army and a story about an incident at military school for which he takes responsibility out of a sense of honor.
