History: The Family Kimura left their native Japan behind and crossed thr Pacific to find new lives for themselves in San Francisco.

The decision to leave their ancestral home was not a hasty one and came about because of a centuries old curse that had been even so slowly killing off all first born sons. Had they stayed the family would have ceased to exist and arrival in America seemed to make the Kimuras a very fruitful clan if not an overly wealthy. Fishermen by trade, the Kimuras were now Americans and while they struggled with a new language and land they bore a whole new generation of Japanese-Americans who had never know bloody old Japan and the horror that the family had left behind.

One of those Kimuras was Shinju, she was born during the summer of 1917 to a couple who up to that point had been unlucky in fertility. Although Shinju's parents would have several children, they would all be girls and she was their first miraculous Pearl. Before the birth of their other daughters Shinju went everywhere with her father, she learned to swim, fish and sail as any good son might. Shinju learned to work with men aboard her father's first fishing trauler and never really saw herself as a girl wearing dresses and playing with dolls. Hardened by the wind the waves and the sea Shinju grew up fierce and free, but the manifestation of her womanhood shattered her idyllic youth and shuttered her among women in what to her was a most cruel twist of fate.

Trapped for the remaining years of her childhood within the confines of acceptable Japanese-American society her only escape was photography. Inexpensive cameras and film made photography the hobby of millions irregardless of race or sex, station or wealth. For Shinju the camera's shutter became a portal to where-ever she wished to go and it offered her freedom that no-one including her parents could limit. In channeling her passion through her art she manifested a talent that opened doors usually sealed to those of Asian heritage even in San Francisco. It also drew the attention of a fellow hobbyist who admired and respected Shinju's talent for what it was, pure genius. Were it not for history's long and bloody reach, perhaps Shinju Kimura would have been a household name and an icon of the photographic world.

December 7th, 1941 and the Japanese Imperial attack on Pearl Harbor changed everything. Shinju was twenty-four years old and had just graduated with a degree in photography from the best American school of arts west of the Mississippi located in her home town of San Francisco.
