I just got out of a meeting with Anne and Michael, and I’m very excited to look forward to what new avenues this project will take over the next few weeks! Michael leaves Bowdoin tonight, but I’m excited about all the new information he will encounter and send back to us when he gets to Japan. I can’t wait to delve deeper into the nitty gritty of how these schools communicated with the child artists, and how, now grown, they feel about the way they were influenced or treated after the war. There are so many new things to uncover, and I think they’ll make the beginning organizational stages so worth it!
