Setting: The home of Himiko Hamilton in Junction City, Kansas, and an obscure netherworld in which times moves at will - 1968.

Brief Description

Tea is based on a virtually undocumented history of communities of Japanese "war brides" who have lived in Kansas over the last 20 to 40 years. Over 100,000 native Japanese women married American servicemen during the American occupation of Japan after World War II. These families returned to the U.S. between the years of 1946 and 1960.
