3) She had an ex-husband and two children in Japan though due to the panic of Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, they got to be separated.
4) Picture bride is similar to something we call "Omiai", which is a Japanese traditional custom in which unattached individuals are introduced to each other to consider the possibility of marriage.

Since I had been studying in Canada and learnt about the internment of the Japanese Canadians during WW2 in Social class, the whole movie was extremely interesting.
Hope I can ask some questions about that in tomorrow's class.
