There once was a snail

who lived in a shell,

and inside his shell,

the Snail created wonders.

This is the story of Isamu Noguchi, a Japanese American artist who gave the world

light. The world, however, was not always so giving in return.

This groundbreaking paean to Noguchi’s creativity explores his emotional

hardships through the US incarceration of Japanese Americans, the effects of

personal isolation, and the power of art to heal those wounds.
