Anna Sawai was born in New Zealand to Japanese parents, lived in Tokyo, Hong Kong and the Philippines as a child, and has been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles lately, largely to promote the series in which she stars, “Shōgun.” But ask her where home is and she doesn’t hesitate to reply. “Japan is where my heart belongs,” she said in a recent video interview. “When I was growing up in Tokyo I wanted to get out of there.
“I think that's something that we see even today in Japan, where there's a certain expectation for women, and you're not supposed to do this, or you're not supposed to say this if you're a female.
