Illustrations in the book are by Sylvia Neff, calligraphy by Etsuko Wakayama.\n </p>\n <p>\n <i>\n Tule Lake\n </i>\n begins with Shirai's observations of the events that led up to World War II and their effect on the Japanese communities in California, then focuses on the three and a half years he spent at\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Tule_Lake\" title=\"Tule Lake\">\n Tule Lake\n </a>\n concentration camp on the Oregon/California border. As a non-resident alien, Shirai was considered \"an enemy alien\" by the U.S. and forced to spend the war years at Tule Lake, which had the largest number of inmates classified by the government as \"disloyal\" and the lowest number of volunteers for the U.S. military. Over the years, Shirai worked in various roles at Tule Lake as a United States Property Custodian, executive secretary to the City Council and\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Block_managers\" title=\"Block managers\">\n block manager\n </a>\n , which gave him insight on the politics of the community as well as personal conflicts many internees suffered. The book provides a rare account of an Issei journalist who was educated as a sociologist.\n </p>\n <p>\n Noboru Shirai (1907-1985) was born and raised in Hiroshima, Japan. He taught at Koriyama High School in Nara, Japan, before immigrating to the United States in 1934.
