The title of the story comes from the narrator's recollection of making a pot of rice intending to make rice balls on the day of their forced departure, but forgetting about it, leaving the full pot behind. Years later, she returns to the site of the community, which subsequently became a large military base which for a time housed tens of thousands of Southeast Asian refugees. Noting the similarities with the concentration camps she and her family were in, she observes that this group was the third group of Asians to come and go from the geographical area, after the Japanese Americans and the Native Americans before them.","url_title":"An Abandoned Pot of Rice (short story)","categories":["Arts"],"rg_rgmediatype":["short stories"],"rg_interestlevel":["Grades 9-12","Adult"],"rg_genre":["Memoir"],"rg_theme":["Displacement","Immigrant experience","Importance of community","Progress – real or illusion"],"rg_availability":["No availability"],"rg_rgmediatype_label":"Short Stories","rg_rgmediatype_icon":"fa-file-text"},{"id":"Through the Lens of Russell Lee: Mathias Uchiyama's Story (film)","model":"article","index":"17 17/{'value': 114, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/Through%20the%20Lens%20of%20Russell%20Lee:%20Mathias%20Uchiyama's%20Story%20(film)/","json":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/api/3.0/articles/Through%20the%20Lens%20of%20Russell%20Lee:%20Mathias%20Uchiyama's%20Story%20(film)/"},"title":"Through the Lens of Russell Lee: Mathias Uchiyama's Story (film)","description":"Short documentary film about a Japanese American family that left the\n  \n   Portland Assembly Center\n  \n  to engage in farm labor in eastern Oregon, produced to accompany the traveling exhibition\n  \n\n    Uprooted: Japanese American Farm Labor Camps during World War II\n   \n\n  .","url_title":"Through the Lens of Russell Lee: Mathias Uchiyama's Story (film)","categories":["Arts"],"rg_rgmediatype":["films"],"rg_interestlevel":["Grades 7-8","Grades 9-12","Adult"],"rg_genre":["Documentary"],"rg_theme":["Power of the past","Working class struggles","Displacement"],"rg_availability":["Widely available"],"rg_rgmediatype_label":"Films and Video","rg_rgmediatype_icon":"fa-film"},{"id":"The Evacuation Diary of Hatsuye Egami (book)","model":"article","index":"18 18/{'value': 114, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/The%20Evacuation%20Diary%20of%20Hatsuye%20Egami%20(book)/","json":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/api/3.0/articles/The%20Evacuation%20Diary%20of%20Hatsuye%20Egami%20(book)/"},"title":"The Evacuation Diary of Hatsuye Egami (book)","description":"Translation of the wartime diary of Hatsuye Egami, who carefully describes her experiences and observations while incarcerated at\n  \n   Tulare Assembly Center\n  \n  during World War II.","url_title":"The Evacuation Diary of Hatsuye Egami (book)","categories":["Arts"],"rg_rgmediatype":["books"],"rg_interestlevel":["Grades 9-12","Adult"],"rg_genre":["Non Fiction"],"rg_theme":["Chaos and order","Displacement","Family - blessing or curse","Immigrant experience","Inner versus outer strength","Motherhood","Self-awareness"],"rg_availability":["Available"],"rg_rgmediatype_label":"Books","rg_rgmediatype_icon":"fa-book"},{"id":"The Experience of Japanese Americans in the United States: A Teacher Resource Manual (curricula)","model":"article","index":"19 19/{'value': 114, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/The%20Experience%20of%20Japanese%20Americans%20in%20the%20United%20States:%20A%20Teacher%20Resource%20Manual%20(curricula)/","json":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/api/3.0/articles/The%20Experience%20of%20Japanese%20Americans%20in%20the%20United%20States:%20A%20Teacher%20Resource%20Manual%20(curricula)/"},"title":"The Experience of Japanese Americans in the United States: A Teacher Resource Manual (curricula)","description":"The Advisory Council to the Ethnic Heritage Project of the\n  \n   Japanese American Citizens League\n  \n  (JACL) developed, printed and distributed this manual in 1975.

The story is largely told through Junkoh Harui, a\n  \n   Nisei\n  \n  , who recounts his Japanese immigrant father's arrival on Bainbridge to work in a sawmill before starting a number of businesses, including a store and Bainbridge Gardens. Other interviewees include Fumiko Hayashida, a woman famous for a photograph of her and her young daughter being forcibly removed during World War II; Hayashida later became the subject of\n  \n   another short documentary\n  \n  by Ostrander and her production partner Don Sellers. The title of the film comes from the Japanese red pine trees that Harui's father planted on the island that sprouted during the community's absence during World War II.","url_title":"The Red Pines: Japanese-Americans on Bainbridge Island (film)","categories":["Arts"],"rg_rgmediatype":["films"],"rg_interestlevel":["Grades 9-12","Adult"],"rg_genre":["Documentary","History"],"rg_theme":["Displacement","Power of tradition","Rebirth"],"rg_availability":["Widely available"],"rg_rgmediatype_label":"Films and Video","rg_rgmediatype_icon":"fa-film"},{"id":"Tanforan: From Race Track to Assembly Center (film)","model":"article","index":"22 22/{'value': 114, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/Tanforan:%20From%20Race%20Track%20to%20Assembly%20Center%20(film)/","json":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/api/3.0/articles/Tanforan:%20From%20Race%20Track%20to%20Assembly%20Center%20(film)/"},"title":"Tanforan: From Race Track to Assembly Center (film)","description":"Documentary film on\n  \n   Tanforan\n  \n  , a former horse racing track that became the site of a wartime \"\n  \n   assembly center\n  \n  \" for incarcerated Japanese Americans during World War II.
