Based on historical events, Anshu¯ is a tale of passion and human triumph in the face of extraordinary adversity, spanning from the cane fields of Hawai‘i to the devastation in Hiroshima. A pregnant and unmarried Hilo teenager, Himiko Aoki, finds her Hawai‘i/ Japanese-American identity clashing with Japan’s cultural norms when she is sent to live with relatives in Tokyo in 1941, and becomes trapped there at the outbreak of war.
