This important work of nonfiction features powerful images of the Japanese American incarceration captured by three photographers-Dorothea Lange, Toyo Miyatake, and Ansel Adams-along with firsthand accounts of this grave moment in history.Three months after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the incarceration of all Japanese and Japanese Americans living on the West Coast of the United States. Families, teachers, farm workers-all were ordered to leave behind their homes, their businesses, and everything they owned. Japanese and Japanese Americans were forced to live under hostile conditions in incarceration camps, their futures uncertain.
Three photographers set out to document life at Manzanar, an incarceration camp in the California desert:
Dorothea Lange was a photographer from San Francisco best known for her haunting Depression-era images. Dorothea was hired by the US government to record the conditions of the camps. Deeply critical of the policy, she wanted her photos to shed light on the harsh reality of incarceration.
Toyo Miyatake was a Japanese-born, Los Angeles-based photographer who lent his artistic eye to portraying dancers, athletes, and events in the Japanese community. Imprisoned at Manzanar, he devised a way to smuggle in photographic equipment, determined to show what was really going on inside the barbed-wire confines of the camp.
Ansel Adams was an acclaimed landscape photographer and environmentalist. Hired by the director of Manzanar, Ansel hoped his carefully curated pictures would demonstrate to the rest of the United States the resilience of those in the camps.
In Seen and Unseen, Elizabeth Partridge and Lauren Tamaki weave together these photographers' images, firsthand accounts, and stunning original art to examine the history, heartbreak, and injustice of the Japanese American incarceration.

luxurious!
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
I am absolutely in love with this plush blanket! The fabric is unbelievably soft and cozy—like being wrapped in a cloud. It’s the perfect weight: not too heavy, but warm enough to keep me comfortable on chilly nights. The quality really impressed me; even after a few washes, it hasn’t shed or lost that silky softness.
I’ve been using it on our couch, and it instantly makes the space feel more inviting. The color is rich and beautiful, exactly as pictured, and it adds a nice touch of style to my living room.
If you’re looking for a blanket that feels luxurious but also practical for everyday use, this one is it. I’ve already ordered a second one for my bedroom because I don’t want to share!

LOVE
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Checkered Green
We love this blanket! By we I mean us and the dogs. It’s sooooo soft, a good size, warm, and has held up surprisingly well for what we have put it through. It has gone camping, to the mountains, and been dragged all around the house by dogs. No rips or tears! Great color, design and quality!
