Having grown up with relatives in Portuguese plantation camps on Kauai, this was so lovely to discover. My grandparents eventually built a home of their own on plantation subsidized land in Eleele. It was a community mainly inhabited by Japanese. I went to Japanese school at the Hanapepe Hongwanji and have raised my own children submersed in Japanese island culture. A lifetime of cultural gifts. Mahalo.
