About the Book

Letters to Home   asks contributors to reflect on the Japanese phrase,  okaeri   (お帰り), which means “Welcome home” or “Welcome back,” as it relates to their lived experiences as queer Nikkei and allies. In the words of Okaeri’s founder,  Marsha Aizumi , the word  okaeri  reflects the hope that “no matter how long or how far you have traveled from the Japanese American community, you can always return home and be welcomed.” Exploring topics of identity, community, and acceptance through poetry, essays, photography, and art,  Letters to Home   recognizes that such an environment can only be created when we find the courage to share our stories and foster love, empathy, and understanding.

Letters to Home: Art and Writing by LGBTQ+ Nikkei and Allies   will be available for purchase at the JANM Store.
