Episode 53: The Poet and the Silk Girl by Satsuki Ina
Episode 54
Friday, 6 February, 2026
This episode we welcome Satsuki Ina, author, psychotherapist, producer and so much more! We talk with Satsuki about one of her favorite childhood and new year’s foods, inarizushi and her mom’s special take on it. We spend some time talking about her very important book The Poet and the Silk Girl, which chronicles her parents' experience as Japanese Americans imprisoned during WWII, and talk about how so much of those experiences is still relevant today and the work for Satsuki that that continues to fuel. We also talk about Satsuki’s experience as a kid running around Japantown and San Francisco in the 1940s and 1950s and her family’s weekend Chinese restaurant routine, which honestly sounds pretty great.
