HOKUBEI MAINICHI the Japanese American newspaper where it all began

Amazing to chance upon the digital archives of Hokubei Mainichi, a true community newspaper, as all journalism should be, and found stories I did, notices about my poetry readings, the birth announcement of our son and a column the editor then Howard Imazeki gave me to muse on motherhood. And today I see that he continued to publish my stories sent as AP reports from Japan. That made me cry. Thanks to journalism.

A front-page story about Oshogatsu in San Francisco Nihonmachi. But there were many more.
