Summary/Abstract: The focus of this study is the mother-daughter relationships depicted in Japanese American literature in the mid- to late 20th century. I analyse the short stories of Hisaye Yamamoto (1921-2011) and Wakako Yamauchi (1924-2018), to illustrate how the mother-daughter relationships are closely connected to different ethnic and cultural identities in the Japanese immigrant families.
