JOY KOGAWA was born in Vancouver in 1935 to Japanese- Canadian parents. During WWII, Joy and her family were forced to move to Slocan, British Columbia, as part of the Canadian governmentâs policy to relocate and intern Japanese-Canadians. Kogawa is the author of several award-winning novels and volumes of poetry. In 1986, Kogawa was made a Member of the Order of Canada; in 2006, she was made a Member of the Order of British Columbia. She lives in Toronto.
JOY KOGAWA is best known as the author of Obasan (1981), which is based on Joy and her familyâs forced relocation from Vancouver during the Second World War when she was six years old. Joyâs other novels for adults include Itsuka (1992, republished as Emily Kato in 2005) and The Rain Ascends (1995). Her works for children are Naomiâs Road and Naomiâs Tree (2009). Since 1967, Joy has also published several poetry collections, including A Choice of Dreams (1974) and Jericho Road (1977). Among her many honours, Joy has received an Order of Canada (1986), an Order of British Columbia (2006) and, from the Japanese Government, an Order of the Rising Sun (2010) for "her contribution to the understanding and preservation of Japanese Canadian history."
