He was also interviewed individually on October 9, 2002.<p></p>Before being contacted by Densho, the Yasutake siblings had planned to conduct their own family history interviews. Individually and jointly, they and other family members had written and gathered material documenting their family history. They shared much of this with me to assist with research and preparation for the Densho interview. Mitsuye's daughter Jeni had coordinated much of the family history work. Jeni participated as a secondary interviewer during the group sessions, October 8-9, 2002.<p></p>The group interview sessions were conducted in Seattle at the home of Tom Ikeda, executive director of Densho. The oldest Yasutake sibling, Reverend Seiichi Michael Yasutake, had passed away less than a year before the Densho interviewing, in December, 2001. The remaining siblings emphasized that his absence left a gap in their discussion of family history. In addition to Jeni Yamada and videographers Dana Hoshide and John Pai, also present during some portions of the group interview were Tom Ikeda, and Mitsuye Yamada's son Kai Yamada.)","extent":"01:20:38","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-136","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":130,"namepart":"Joe Yasutake"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice Ito"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"John Pai"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"October 9, 2002","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Joe Yasutake narrator \nAlice Ito interviewer \nJohn Pai videographer","download_large":"denshovh-yjoe-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-446-349","model":"entity","index":"6 306/{'value': 307, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-446-349/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-446-349/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-446/ddr-densho-446-349-mezzanine-769221d25d-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-446/ddr-densho-446-349-mezzanine-769221d25d-a.jpg"},"title":"Ryo Morikawa Recollections","description":"Autobiography: Ryo's parents, Life in San Diego, 11 months in Japan, Evacuation, Married Life","extent":"unknown","links_children":"ddr-densho-446-349","creators":[{"role":"author","namepart":"Tsai, Ryo (Morikawa)"}],"topics":[{"term":"Geographic communities -- California -- San Diego","id":"487"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Issei","id":"43"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Japanese American identity","id":"47"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Nisei","id":"44"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Sansei","id":"338"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Women","id":"515"},{"term":"Immigration and citizenship -- Law and legislation -- Alien land laws","id":"516"},{"term":"Immigration and citizenship -- Arrival","id":"4"},{"term":"Immigration and citizenship -- Life in Japan and reasons for leaving","id":"2"},{"term":"Industry and employment -- Agriculture -- Flower growers","id":"346"},{"term":"Industry and employment -- Agriculture -- Migrant labor","id":"347"},{"term":"Industry and employment -- Small business -- Florists","id":"439"},{"term":"Japan -- Pre-World War II","id":"163"},{"term":"Reflections on the past","id":"118"},{"term":"Religion and churches -- Buddhism","id":"395"},{"term":"Religion and churches -- Christianity","id":"396"},{"term":"World War II","id":"399"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Orphans","id":"512"},{"term":"Education","id":"31"},{"term":"Education -- Primary education","id":"333"},{"term":"Education -- Public schools","id":"32"},{"term":"Education -- Secondary education","id":"335"},{"term":"Education -- Higher education","id":"34"},{"term":"Japan -- Education","id":"375"},{"term":"Race and racism -- Discrimination","id":"37"},{"term":"World War II -- Pearl Harbor and aftermath","id":"48"},{"term":"World War II -- Pearl Harbor and aftermath -- Decision to incarcerate","id":"203"},{"term":"World War II -- Non-incarcerated Japanese Americans -- \"Voluntary evacuation\"","id":"56"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- Illinois -- Chicago","id":"279"},{"term":"Community activities -- Recreational activities","id":"179"},{"term":"World War II -- Military service -- Military Intelligence Service","id":"91"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- Washington -- Seattle","id":"293"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Tsai, Ryo (Morikawa)"},{"namepart":"Morikawa, Ayano (Hirahara)"},{"namepart":"Morikawa, Kennosuke \"Frank\" (Kusumoto)"},{"namepart":"Morikawa, Kenji"},{"namepart":"Chiong, Anna Fumi (Morikawa)"},{"namepart":"Morikawa, George Kiyoshi"},{"namepart":"Cudahy's Packing Plant"},{"namepart":"Tsai, Ai Chih"},{"namepart":"Caldwell, BiHoa (Tsai)"},{"namepart":"United Nations Relief & Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA)"},{"namepart":"United States Marine Corps"},{"namepart":"K?kai"},{"namepart":"Morikawa, Takanosuke"},{"namepart":"White, Samuel"},{"namepart":"Fremont Elementary School"},{"namepart":"Point Loma High School"},{"namepart":"San Diego State University"},{"namepart":"California Institute of Technology"},{"namepart":"Keisen Jogakuen Daigaku"},{"namepart":"International Journal of Religious Education"},{"namepart":"Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.
