Until our War Brides of Japan feature documentary is on the
screen, we’re going to be blogging about it a lot.
If you’re interested in discussing being biracial or a
transracial adoptee, or being in an interracial relationship or just crossing
cultures, please go to our Hip Hapa Homeez group page on Facebook where we do
just that.
Otherwise, we’re all about War Brides of Japan right now.
First off, a BIG UP! to all our donors. You know who you
are, and we’ll mention you by name in another post. That is, if you haven’t
chosen to remain anonymous. We’ll have to get your permission first, so let us
know.
For the rest of you who haven’t yet made a 100%
tax-deductible donation to the War Brides of Japan documentary, you can do so by clicking here: PLEASE DONATE!

Further, we recently located a Japanese war bride married to
a Mexican American GI, another rare exception. If you know of a Japanese war
bride who married someone other than a black or white American, please drop us
a line. In fact, if you know any Japanese war brides at all, tell us about
them, too.

Even though we have scheduled interviews with about a dozen
war brides and or their adult children, it’s good to be aware of any others out
there—especially on the West Coast where we’re going to begin our filming. We
will keep you posted, Hip Hapa Homeez!

We have also created a closed group page on Facebook called
Japanese War Brides and Their Children. Please request membership if you’re
interested in joining us.

And, of course, we still have our Watermelon Sushi narrative
film project although it’s understandably on hold right now:

Hapa can’t add any more friends to her regular profile page)
There, that should hold you for awhile! See you in a
bi-month, Hip Hapa Homeez. And, don't forget:
ja, mata ne!
Your Hip Hapa,
Yayoi
