As was the case for a sizable minority of Nisei youth, she had been sent to Japan for her education, having arrived there three years prior. She attends a boarding school and spends holidays with the Kodamas, a wealthy childless couple who are family friends. On a holiday, she meets Jobo Endo, a fellow Nisei, who is in Japan attending college. Courtship ensues. Recognizing the difficulties they would face in Japan as the war heats up, Jobo suggests that Mie ask the Kodamas for money to return to the U.S. However, the Kodamas had hoped to marry off Mie to a grand nephew. Though they consent to Jobo and Mie getting married, they are stuck in Japan as it enters war with the U.S. Facing hunger and other hardships, Jobo and Mie survive the war. Meanwhile, their families in the U.S. are sent to concentration camps; Mie's father dies in camp. Both families \"resettle\" in the Midwest, and Mie's family sends them money that allows them to return. But the time away had damaged relationships, and short stints with both families fail to work out. Eventually they move to California, where Jobo finds sudden success as an agent in the booming real estate market. But that success leads to the couple drifting apart, and Jobo eventually leaves Mie for another woman. The title of the story comes from a Shirley Temple doll that her family sent her in Japan that comes to represent her lost American life.","url_title":"Shirley Temple, Hotcha-cha (short story)","categories":["Arts"],"rg_rgmediatype":["short stories"],"rg_interestlevel":["Grades 9-12","Adult"],"rg_genre":["Fiction"],"rg_theme":["Displacement","Heartbreak of betrayal","Isolation","Wisdom of experience"],"rg_availability":["Available"],"rg_rgmediatype_label":"Short Stories","rg_rgmediatype_icon":"fa-file-text"},{"id":"Sincerely, Miné Okubo (film)","model":"article","index":"19 19/{'value': 43, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/Sincerely,%20Min%C3%A9%20Okubo%20(film)/","json":"https://resourceguide.densho.org/api/3.0/articles/Sincerely,%20Min%C3%A9%20Okubo%20(film)/"},"title":"Sincerely, Miné Okubo (film)","description":"Biographical film on artist\n  \n   Miné Okubo\n  \n  produced for the exhibition\n  \n   Miné Okubo's Masterpiece: The Art of Citizen 13660\n  \n  at the\n  \n   Japanese American National Museum\n  \n  (August 28, 2021 to March 27, 2022).
