Mason, who survived the bombing of Tokyo, was indelibly marked by her experience. She moved to America and spent her life painting in all styles. But she left behind a remarkable collection of images inspired by the suffering she had witnessed and her passion for peace.

Sorry for your poor experience, but I simply write for @GiveUsThisDayLP and am unfortunately not in a position to help. You should direct your concerns to them (and certainly not to the Japanese American National Museum). Hope you continue to subscribe.
