(This interview was conducted by filmmaker Frank Abe for his 2000 documentary, Conscience and the Constitution, about the World War II resisters of conscience at the Heart Mountain incarceration camp. As a result, the interviews in this collection are typically not life histories, instead primarily focusing on issues surrounding the resistance movement itself.)","extent":"00:28:28","links_children":"ddr-densho-122-8","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":154,"namepart":"Yosh Kuromiya"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Frank Abe"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Frank Chin"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"nr_id":"88922/nr008xp0z","namepart":"Kuromiya, Yoshito"}],"contributor":"Frank Abe Collection","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Los Angeles, California","creation":"August 15 & 16, 1993","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Yosh Kuromiya narrator \nFrank Abe interviewer \nFrank Chin interviewer Kuromiya, Yoshito 88922nr008xp0z","download_large":"denshovh-kyosh-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-csujad-57-37","model":"entity","index":"5 230/{'value': 234, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-csujad-57-37/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-csujad-57-37/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-csujad-57/ddr-csujad-57-37-mezzanine-210643ab29-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-csujad-57/ddr-csujad-57-37-mezzanine-210643ab29-a.jpg"},"title":"Pastors at Forward Movement Conference","description":"A group of pastors in formal clothing, including two women, stands before the First Friends Church, located at 13205 (310 E.)

Mitsuye Yamada was interviewed together with her two surviving brothers, William Toshio Yasutake and Joseph Yasutake, in group sessions on October 8-9, 2002. She was interviewed individually on October 9-10, 2002.
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.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.

She was sent to Japan to be educated as a child and returned to the U.S. shortly before the outbreak of war. When war came, her father was among the Issei who were arrested and interned. The rest of the family was subsequently incarcerated in Manzanar. While at Manzanar, she married James Kaz Ogawa, who came from a neighboring family on Terminal Island. For their March 26, 1944, wedding in Manzanar, Chiyomi's \"Auntie Nui,\" a seamstress, made her wedding dress out of materials ordered from the Montgomery Ward catalog. Subsequently, the dress was used by five other women who married between 1947 and 1950, all of whom lived in the Pasadena, California, area along with the Ogawas.\r\n\r\nThe film is built around an interview with Ogawa, along with with various members of her family, and includes scenes of a traveling exhibition built around the dress. Filmmaker Steve Nagano's father, Rev. Paul Nagano, married several of the couples who used the dress.\r\n\r\nSee this item in the Densho Resource Guide at: Six Weddings and a Dress.\r\n\r\nSee this item in the Digital Library of the Japanese American Incarceration Films at: https://archive.org/details/ddr-densho-1024-7.","extent":"00:07:39","links_children":"ddr-densho-1024-7","creators":[{"role":"filmmaker","namepart":"Nagano, Stephen"}],"topics":[{"term":"World War II -- Concentration camps -- Weddings","id":"196"},{"term":"Community activities -- Weddings","id":"28"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- California -- Terminal Island","id":"490"}],"format":"av","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"motion_picture","facility":[{"term":"Manzanar","id":"7"}],"creation":"2014","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Nagano, Stephen filmmaker","download_large":"ddr-densho-1024-7-mezzanine-6865efd7df-a.jpg"}],"query":{"query":{"query_string":{"query":"Pasadena, California","fields":["id","model","links_html","links_json","links_img","links_thumb","links_children","status","public","title","description","contributor","creators","creators.namepart","facility","format","genre","geography","label","language","creation","location","persons","rights","topics","image_url","display_name","bio","extent","search_hidden"],"analyze_wildcard":false,"allow_leading_wildcard":false,"default_operator":"AND"}},"aggs":{"facility":{"nested":{"path":"facility"},"aggs":{"facility_ids":{"terms":{"field":"facility.id","size":1000}}}},"format":{"terms":{"field":"format"}},"genre":{"terms":{"field":"genre"}},"rights":{"terms":{"field":"rights"}},"topics":{"nested":{"path":"topics"},"aggs":{"topics_ids":{"terms":{"field":"topics.id","size":1000}}}}},"_source":["id","model","links_html","links_json","links_img","links_thumb","links_children","status","public","title","description","contributor","creators","creators.namepart","facility","format","genre","geography","label","language","creation","location","persons","rights","topics","image_url","display_name","bio","extent","search_hidden"]}}
