Edward Takeshi Miyakawa was an architect and author of Tule Lake, a novel about the Japanese Americans incarcerated there
during World War II. Miyakawa actively participated in the redress movement and efforts to win reparations for Japanese Americans.
He also co-founded an agency for international adoptions. Miyakawa was born in Sacramento in 1934, and he and his family were
forced to relocate to the Tule Lake Relocation Camp in 1942. Miyakawa graduated from the University of California, Berkeley
with a degree in architecture in 1962. He and his wife moved to Waldport, Oregon where he practiced architecture for 30 years;
together they raised a large family of adopted children. Tule Lake was republished after 9/11, as there was renewed interest
in the novel due to erosion of freedoms for Arab and Muslim Americans. Miyakawa died in 2022.
