Densho’s new podcast, Campu, tells the story of Japanese American incarceration like you've never heard it before. Brother-sister duo Noah and Hana Maruyama weave together the voices of survivors to spin narratives out of the seemingly mundane things that gave shape to the incarceration experience: rocks, fences, food, paper. Follow along as they move far beyond the standard Japanese American inca... more

Food is more than just sustenance. It’s a vehicle for culture, a way to delight in the world around us, engage our senses, connect with other people. It’s how we tell someone we love them. It’s the lessons we pass down between generations—and the one... more
In this episode, we talk about everything you never wanted to know about latrines in WWII Japanese American concentration camps. Our research may have gone down the toilet, but we promise this story isn’t all about poop. We’ll look at how incarcerees... more
Pictures allow us to peer into the past, but those images are often far more complicated than what initially meets the eye. Photographs (and the people who took them) portrayed Japanese Americans as menacing threats, as hapless victims, as model Amer... more

The stories are ones I have never heard before, packed full of firsthand accounts in their own voice, and put together in a way that so interesting and insightful! Thank you to the creators and Densho! I hope more episodes are coming, I can’t wait!
Japanese internment camps are a topic that seem to be getting some much deserved traction in recent years. George Takei’s musical “Allegiance” was the first thing that caught my attention, followed by Kishi Bashi’s concept album (and yet-to-be-released companion documentary) “Omiyari.” Then this year’s ‘The Best God Damn Band in Wyoming’ off of No-No-Boy’s album “1975” and now Campu enter the fray. The show is a great lens through which to view a largely unexplored history - or at least somethin... more
Love this podcast! Although, especially the episode of “Fence”, one guy was speaking in Japanese and the translation was completely different 😂 this guy was taking about how many people had to fit in a camp and there was a guy from Utah, and then end up talking about Landry 🤣 Anyway I love this show!!! Thank you so so much for all your effort to brig all these together. Can’t imagine how much work was done to create this!
If I had to sum everything up in one word it would be: Wow.
This podcast is so well done! One of the best I’ve ever listened to. It’s well researched, well mixed, informative yet not boring. As the granddaughter of incarcerated Japanese Americans (Tule Lake) and an internment camp scholar, I appreciate all the hard work and effort that Hana, Noah, Densho and their crew put in to make this possible. As a mother of young daughters, part of my drive to research this dark time in history is to make... more
We are in the golden age of podcasts and this is the one of the best I’ve ever listened to. The creators blend personal narrative with oral history with insights from historians of every stripe to create a deeply moving and fascinating set of shows. My favorite so far is the episode on cameras which helped me understand the origins of the model minority stereotype in new ways. Especially now it seems so important to understand how deep the roots of anti-Asian hatred run.
