Ten-year-old Manami did not realize how peaceful her family's life on Bainbridge Island was until the day it all changed. It's 1942, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and Manami and her family are Japanese American, which means that the government says they must leave their home by the sea and join other Japanese Americans at a prison camp in the desert. Manami is sad to go, but even worse is that they are going to have to give her and her grandfather's dog, Yujiin, to a neighbor to take care of.

During World War II a community called Manzanar was hastily created in the high mountain desert country of California, east of the Sierras. Its purpose was to house thousands of Japanese-American internees. One of the first families to arrive was the Wakatsukis, who were ordered to leave their fishing business in Long Beach and take with them only the belongings they could carry. For Jeanne Wakatsuki, a seven-year-old child, Manzanar became a way of life in which she struggled and adapted, observed and grew. For her father it was essentially the end of his life.

From a European-Western perspective, much of what is related to the state of Japan, including its history and culture and the people who live there, seems not only foreign, but also in some ways inaccessible and incomprehensible. Those who do not deal with it explicitly often have no connection to Japan at all. This, of course, is also true of Japanese mythology. In contrast to Greco-Roman or Nordic-Germanic mythology, the level of knowledge about it in the West is rather low.
