In our studies of Japanese Culture, we discussed the attachment that the Japanese felt to nature prior to their period of modernization. This reverence for nature is clear in their attention to detail throughout the Japanese Garden. For example, the Japanese House blends seamlessly into…

Many Hawaiian visitors want to purchase a lei to take back home, but newcomers to the island might not know which type is best to buy.

I have chosen the Japanese for my racial group analysis. I chose them for the sole reason that they are the fewest Asian group in number here in the U.S. The history of Japanese immigrants is not so different from other immigrants such as the Chinese.

deaths. That’s what Japanese Americans were facing at the time. They were being accused of something they didn’t do, but for something their country did. For this reason Japanese Americans were put in internment camps. Internment camps were camps set up by the government to put all the people of Japanese ancestry.
