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":"00:04:51","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-137-7","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":129,"namepart":"Mitsuye May Yamada"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice Ito"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"Dana Hoshide"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","geography":[{"term":"New York","id":"\"http://vocab.getty.edu/tgn/7007568\""}],"rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"October 9 & 10, 2002","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Mitsuye May Yamada narrator \nAlice Ito interviewer \nDana Hoshide videographer","download_large":"denshovh-ymitsuye-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-242-1","model":"entity","index":"13 138/{'value': 230, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-242-1/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-242-1/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-242/ddr-densho-242-1-mezzanine-0157de15ac-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-242/ddr-densho-242-1-mezzanine-0157de15ac-a.jpg"},"title":"Cast of kabuki play at Columbia University, 1927","description":"Caption below photo written by Kumezo Hatchimonji: 'Yoshitsune K  no Hashi, presented at Earl Hall, Columbia University in 1927. 3rd from left, back row, our instructor, an actor from the Imperial Theatre, Tokyo.

In this letter Rich states that the birth certificate listed the family's Japanese last name Tsumanuma instead of the anglicized Rockrise. Rich affirms that George's father, Thomas, used both names, but more often went by Rockrise in his business and casual life because it was easier to for English speakers to pronounce. Rich goes on to profess that therefor George Tsumanuma is the same person as George Rockrise.","extent":"7.25W x 10.5H","links_children":"ddr-densho-335-11","topics":[{"term":"Identity and values -- Nisei","id":"44"},{"term":"World War II -- Military service","id":"88"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Rockrise, George"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"correspondence","location":"New York City, New York","creation":"1/23/1943","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Rockrise, George","download_large":"ddr-densho-335-11-mezzanine-9ea6d56470-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-335-139","model":"entity","index":"23 148/{'value': 230, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-335-139/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-335-139/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-335/ddr-densho-335-139-mezzanine-686e5b637e-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-335/ddr-densho-335-139-mezzanine-686e5b637e-a.jpg"},"title":"Portrait of Thomas S Rockrise","description":"The stamp on the portrait reads \"Koshiba Studio 660 Fifth Avenue New York Bar Harbor, ME\".","extent":"8W x 12H","links_children":"ddr-densho-335-139","format":"img","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Rockrise, Thomas S  (Tsumanuma, Iwahiko)"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"portrait","location":"New York City, New York","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Rockrise, Thomas S (Tsumanuma, Iwahiko)","download_large":"ddr-densho-335-139-mezzanine-686e5b637e-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-335-50","model":"entity","index":"24 149/{'value': 230, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-335-50/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-335-50/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-335/ddr-densho-335-50-mezzanine-908b91b65b-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-335/ddr-densho-335-50-mezzanine-908b91b65b-a.jpg"},"title":"Letter from Alice C.
