520 _a"Horizon Is Calling is the second book by Taro Yashima, telling his own story, and that of his people, as affected by the rising tides of Japanese militarism. Yashima is an artist, and in both this and his earlier book, "The New Sun," he has used the medium of drawings in black and white, connected by captions that are often written with poetic powers of selection and expression." -- From the New York Times.
520 _a"Horizon is Calling was delayed because I was in was work for nearly two years after the publication of The New Sun. While I was working with the army I always carried a draft of this book with me, hoping I should get the time to develop my ideas further. The first draft went back and forth across the continent several times, and it crossed the Pacific Ocean to India. It once flew over Africa and Canada and it finally went to Japan, afte the war had ended, by way of Kwajalein and Guam....." -- Taro Yashima, forweword
520 _a"The remarkable story begun in The New Sun continues in this second volume of Taro Yashima’s graphic memoir, a strikingly simple combination of pictures and brief text that capture a man’s journey away from his homeland....Having survived inhumane conditions during unjustified imprisonment by the Japanese secret police – including pregnancy and the miraculous healthy birth of their son Mako – the couple move into the home of Mitsu’s parents while they slowly regain their health. In spite of a growing military presence, Yashima is both humbled and inspired by the struggles of his friends and colleagues as they face their challenging lives with integrity and tenacity." -- online
