Looking for Answers in Japan

Emilia Okada grew up with people who didn’t look like her. Standing out made her curious about the Japanese side of her family, and when she was 17, she traveled to Tokyo to get to know them.

We discussed: 

• Finding answers to long-standing questions during Emilia’s first trip to Japan
• Childhood in Sweden 
• Attracting attention in Poland  
• Emilia’s mom’s friend moving from Japan to Sweden
• Living in a three-generation home
• Expectations versus reality of life in Poland 
• Passing on cultures to children 
• Comparing going to Japan as a teenager to holidaying there as an adult
