SIDELIGHTS:
Anita Yasuda told CA: "I wrote my first books on antique Japanese fabrics because I had an extensive collection that I wanted to share and a passion for 1970s Japan. I write because I love researching, talking to experts, and learning new things. I have written several more Japan- and non-Japan-related books. I am currently working on a series of multicultural books for children to increase awareness and tolerance of Asian culture and customs."
