Hallmark describes her work as, "Tanaka's videos are documentary in style, using a variety of techniques; some images are abstract, distorted, and blurred to an unrecognizable degree, while others are clear and informal, as if they could be a family snapshot."〔 ==Early life== Her parents Jack Koto Tanaka and Lily Tanaka were married right before World War II. During the war, the family, including her brother Jack Jr, were relocated to the Manzanar Japanese Internment Camp. Her father protested the internment, and was arrested by the FBI. After being diagnosed with schizophrenia, he was institutionalized. Lily divorced Jack during the war, and moved the family to a predominantly white neighborhood in Chicago.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Janice Tanaka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
