About the Author
Muriel Kitagawa
Tsukiye Muriel Kitagawa was senior editor for The New Age, the first newspaper to express the Nisei (second-generation Japanese Canadian) perspective and provide an outlet for that generation's expressive thought and literary writing. In 1938 she began writing for The New Canadian, where she was a regular contributor under several pen names. With four young children, including twins born right in the middle of the uprooting of the entire B.C. Japanese Canadian community, Muriel and her family moved to Toronto to join her brother Wesley Fujiwara, who was attending university there in June of 1942.
