KRISTINE OHKUBO is an avid traveler, blogger, and Japanophile. She developed a deep love and appreciation of Japanese culture, people, and history early in life. Her travels in Japan have enabled her to gain insight into this fascinating culture, which she shares with you through her work.

Kristine Ohkubo liked David Okada's review of The Sun Will Rise Again: "I looked forward to reading this book, because of my interest in the Japanese American’s living in the United States in the early 1900’s and those who were interned during World War II, two thirds of them being American citizens.

Kristine Ohkubo liked an answer from Andi Brooks: If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there? The books I read tend to be dark, so I'm not sure I'd really like to visit any of them. Maybe, if I have to choose, I'd like a tour of Oz, as long as I can have a pair of silver slippers to escape whenever I want to! Andi Brooks
