• Mi-Spa: 25% Off Birthday Celebration

We ordered some luscious bath and body products from Mi-Spa for the holidays and they are everything we had looked forward to. Hand-crafted, lovingly wrapped ( the 3-soap gift pack comes in a transparent Chinese take-out style box!) and infused with rice bran oil and Asian-inspired fragrances (lychee, mango, yuzu, sake, green tea) Mi-Spa marries beauty traditions with hip freshness.

Now Mi-Spa is about to turn 2 years old, and to celebrate, they are offering 20% off any purchase of $25 or more. Use code birthdaywish07 (offer is good from 1/1 – 2/28/2008).

Our recommendations for the season: With Asian New Year around the corner (Chinese date in February; Japanese date on January 1), Mi-Spa Milk Bombs in sake or Satsuma embody the traditions of toasting the New Year with sake and offerings of Satsuma oranges.

Farewell to Manzanar: A True Story of Japanese American Experience During and After the World War II Internment

Farewell to Manzanar: A True Story of Japanese American Experience During and After the World War II Internment

$11.84

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. At age thirty-seven, Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston recalls life at Manzanar through the eyes of the child she was. She tells of her fear, confusion, and bewilderment as well as the dignity and great resourcefulness of people in oppressive and demeaning circumstances. Written with her husband, Jeanne delivers a powerful first-person account that reveals her search for the meaning of Manzanar. Farewell to Manzanar has become a staple of curriculum in schools and on campuses across the country.
