About this listen
Host Madeline Hamaguchi is joined by Sacramento-based author and historian Herb Tanimoto to explore the journey of the first Japanese immigrants to the United States and the establishment of their colony in the California foothills, now known as the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm. We brush up on our terminology, learn about a samurai war, and discuss Herb's historical fiction novel Keiko's Kimono.
Proceeds from purchases of Keiko's Kimono by Herb Tanimoto are donated to American River Conservancy to benefit Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm, Placerville, CA. Buy it on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/iBbC849
