"I began my research by interviewing several community members about their experience as Japanese immigrants in Brazil. I followed this with some time at the libraries at the [Japanese Brazilian] Immigration Museum and the Center for [Japanese Brazilian] Studies performing an archival search of the different literature that has been produced about the immigration experience. After I collected concrete examples of immigration in literature, I set about meeting with different writers, critics, and publishers to speak to them about the writing community that has been created within the Japanese Brazilian community."

"Koutakusseis são os japoneses que estudaram nas escolas "Kokushikan Koutou Takushoku Gakko" ou "Nippon Koutou Takushoku Gakko", no Japão, e que participaram do Projeto da Exploração da Mata Amazônica, por iniciativa do Sr. Tsukasa Uetsuka, de acordo com a concessão feita pelo Governo do Estado do Amazonas, em 11 de março de 1927. A história dos koutakusseis é importante devido às contribuições prestadas ao estado do Amazonas e às influências por eles deixadas. Saindo de distantes terras do Oriente para um local totalmente desconhecido, os koutakusseis escreveram no Amazonas uma história de sonhos, dificuldades, alegrias e tristezas, que não pode nunca ser esquecida."
