Mandy Shintani's father had a 450-year-old samurai sword that was never discussed. After his death at 97, she began uncovering untold stories of Japanese Canadians through the lens of his life, which now shapes her podcast series "The Samurai in Our Closet." Susan Yatabe will relate her mother's experience during internment in Kaslo as a teenaged grade 3 teacher and the stories of some of her former students.
