| Naotake Fukushima comes to California in the 1950s to sell Japanese cars in this humorous and heartfelt story about Japanese-American relations after World War II. Naotake finds himself in a business deal with the spunky Rosie Yoshida, who offers to help him sell cars so she can buy her dream strawberry farm. Her husband, a shell-shocked American WWII vet, also comes along for the ride, resulting in a wildly comic police chase across California that turns Naotake into an international hero. |

| "Like a haiku, the play is composed of discrete parts which, taken together, create a potent mood and lingering impression." |
