As Jack Kagetsu laboured for a decade on his manuscript, travelling to archives, combing newspaper articles, and organizing his findings as well as his memories into writing, he must have felt that he was discovering parts of himself as well as his father. It is a very personal history. The book also has communal resonance for Japanese Canadians. It reflects reverence for elders and speaks to the accomplishments and losses of a generation of immigrant founders, the Issei. In the case of Eikichi Kagetsu both accomplishment and loss were of staggering proportions; perhaps no one else built so much, only to see it stolen in the mid-twentieth century odyssey of Japanese Canadians. 517 $aTree Trunk Can Be My Pillow 606 $aBiography: general$2bicssc 610 $aBiography: general 615 7$aBiography: general 700 $aKagetsu$b Tadashi Jack$4auth$01311538 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910624345503321 996 $aThe Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow$93030397 997 $aUNINA
