Notes

  • Epigraph:

    The silent voices of the Japanese in Australia.I keep hearing them.
    Voices of the many forgotten Japanese who have lived here.
    Forgotten because of the violence of the war.
    It has wiped out the memory of those that came here to work and make this place their home.
    I can hear their whispers – to be remembered. Or is it to be recognised?
    I hear them in the wind, in the surf, in the deserts, in the fields.
    Through their burial here, they are part of the landscape of this place.

    Mayu Kanamori in Yasukichi Murakami: Through a distant lens 2015, performed by Arisa Yura
