Podcast: Discover the Story of ‘Seattle Samurai’: Kelly Goto’s Tribute to History

Seattle Samurai is Kelly Goto’s heartfelt tribute to her father, Sam Goto—an inventive Seattle artist and sign painter whose cartoons capture everyday moments, humor, and values. Guided by Samurai Shigeru and the Bushido code, Kelly weaves family history, wabi-sabi craft, and Japanese American stories into a beautifully designed book. We talk origin, creative hurdles, editorial deep-dives, and why honoring small daily choices can carry a legacy across generations.
