This mural addresses the Japanese internment issue which occurred during the second world war. Japanese Canadians were forced to leave their homes and were sent off to internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. They were promised that they would receive all of their land back after returning from the prisons. This did not happen. Everything they had was taken from them and never returned.
The woman is weeping over the flag because the country that she loves allowed this injustice to happen to her and her people.
Mural is located on Railway Ave in Mission, BC Canada. Approximately 16ft high by 35ft long. A four day project. Woman holding flag painted by Steve Stanczyk. Background image painted by Doug Cariou.
