(This interview was conducted by sisters Emiko and Chizuko Omori for their 1999 documentary, Rabbit in the Moon, about the Japanese American resisters of conscience in the World War II incarceration camps. As a result, the interviews in this collection are typically not life histories, instead primarily focusing on issues surrounding the resistance movement itself.)","extent":"01:36:54","links_children":"ddr-densho-1002-9","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":142,"namepart":"Frank Emi"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Emiko Omori"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Chizu Omori"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"nr_id":"88922/nr004xx71","namepart":"Emi, Frank Seishi"}],"contributor":"Emiko and Chizuko Omori Collection","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"San Francisco, California","creation":"March 20, 1994","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Frank Emi narrator \nEmiko Omori interviewer \nChizu Omori interviewer Emi, Frank Seishi 88922nr004xx71","download_large":"denshovh-efrank-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"802","model":"narrator","index":"22 97/{'value': 135, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/802/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/802/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/skazuo.jpg","thumb":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/skazuo.jpg","interviews":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/802/interviews/"},"display_name":"Kazuo Shiroyama","bio":"Nisei male.
