This card is inspired by a rose bush at the site of the Amache concentration camp, where over 7,000 people of Japanese ancestry were imprisoned during WW2. Incarcerees tended to roses in the high desert of Colorado in, what I view, as an act of resilience. And 80 years later, after the camps were closed, disassembled, almost forgotten & reclaimed by the land, a surviving rose bush was discovered, and later bloomed.

May this card be used to honor an act of resilience, or remind someone of their own resiliency.

To learn more about the history of the WW2 incarceration of Japanese/Japanese Americans, I encourage you to visit, and support the work of, Densho.

Greeting card comes with envelope.

Please note, minor imperfections should be expected from the printing process. It’s what makes them one of a kind :)
