In honor of Densho’s 30th anniversary, we wanted to share a special message from our staff. These are 30 words reflecting our mission and symbolically representing our 30 years of existence. This statement captures our commitment to the past, present, and future.

As part of Densho’s “30 Oral Histories for 30 Years” series, this interview with Peggie Nishimura Bain offers a vivid reflection on creativity, ingenuity, and survival under incarceration, revealing how everyday acts of creation carried meaning far beyond their materials.
