Through the reminiscences of his grandfather's travels from Japan to America and his own subsequent journey, Say captures the emotional resonance of the immigrant experience. The book features exquisite, intimate paintings that bring to life the journey across the Pacific and the internal conflict of belonging in both the New World and one's homeland. It serves as a beautiful reflection on family heritage, the evolution of personal identity, and the enduring connection between generations, ultimately highlighting the love and nostalgia that transcend geographical boundaries. The work is widely recognized for its profound storytelling and artistic achievement, offering readers a touching perspective on the bridging of two distinct, meaningful
