520    Half-Korean, half-Japanese, Masaji Ishikawa has spent his 
       whole life feeling like a man without a country. This 
       feeling only deepened when his family moved from Japan to 
       North Korea when Ishikawa was just thirteen years old, and
       unwittingly became members of the lowest social caste. His
       father, himself a Korean national, was lured to the new 
       Communist country by promises of abundant work, education 
       for his children, and a higher station in society. But the
       reality of their new life was far from utopian.
