Her books are known for calling attention to the plight of Japanese Americans throughout World War Two. She herself grew up in this era which givers Otsuka a unique and accurate depiction of the difficult life for Japanese Americans at this time. Crhoene (talk) 22:18, 13 March 2015 (UTC)crhoene

Julie Otsuka's previous works were mostly fiction-based and less serious like comics, but her stories from the internment camps would often come up. "When The Emperor Was Divine" was her first serious fiction novel where she talked about Japanese internment camps. With her background as a painter, Julie Otsuka's attention to detail and great descriptions give the reader vivid imagery to better understand different situations throughout her novels.

Nice page. I particularly like the photo and information box on the right side! Miles Friday (talk) 16:55, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like our photo got taken down. I thought that we had permission to use it, so I'm not sure why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.195.182.117 (talk) 21:33, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was removed because such permission, from a legal standpoint, is too vague. See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for more information on why such permissions don't work, and see also this Commons page that the publisher should follow if they want to release Otsuka's image under a free license. Example requests for permissions can be seen at Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. Seattle (talk) 19:21, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you guys are doing a great job. The page looks really clean and the information is easy to find. I would suggest maybe finding some information that is a little more in depth about her/her works.Anshirle (talk) 23:16, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
