Korea Japan generations immigration
Our Take
Four generations of a Korean family in Japan, where they will never be Japanese regardless of how many generations pass. Lee traces the cost of that exclusion through a century of Korean history without a single false note of consolation. Sunja's sacrifice is the foundation every subsequent generation builds on and does not know about.
