Yamaguchi calls her father an \"assimilationist\" who mostly associated with non-Asians, and she feels that she, too, did not have a lot of Japanese American friends when she was growing up. When Yamaguchi began to pursue medical education at the University of California, San Francisco, in 1971, she realized how her lack of exposure to professional role models, as well as her experience of growing up in an extremely \"non-verbal\" family, made it a challenge for her to be in a decision-making position. She describes herself as being only \"around on the fringes\" of the Asian American activism in the 1970s. She joined the East Bay Socialist Doctors Group and the Physicians for Social Responsibility, and through members of these groups, she learned in the early 1980s about US survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. She was struck by their graciousness and gratefulness to physicians who offered the needed medical care. \"Given what they've gone through,\" Yamaguchi says, she felt it necessary to assist US hibakusha. She supports a single-payer health care system, and feels that US survivors are one of many groups that have been disadvantaged by the absence of such a system. Yamaguchi also enjoys working with Japanese physicians from Hiroshima who come biannually to conduct a health checkup for American hibakusha. She joined the Sansei Legacy Project beginning in 1990, which put her more in touch with her feelings about being raised by the parents who had been incarcerated during the war. She also made many more Japanese American friends through her participation in the group. At the time of the interview, Yamaguchi worked as a part-time physician in a public clinic serving the underserved patients in San Francisco's Japantown area."},{"id":"ddr-densho-356-912","model":"entity","index":"10 1160/{'value': 1191, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-356-912/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-356-912/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-356/ddr-densho-356-912-mezzanine-52ad1ad7c6-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-356/ddr-densho-356-912-mezzanine-52ad1ad7c6-a.jpg"},"title":"Amache Farm Program Bulletin No. 1.

The inspiration for many of his works are the diaries kept by his late immigrant grandmother for fifty-six years. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Washington in Seattle, and his graduate degree from Syracuse University, New York. Shimomura has had more than 100 solo exhibitions of his paintings and prints, and has presented his experimental theater pieces at such venues as the Franklin Furnace, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. He is the recipient of four National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships in painting and performance art, a McKnight Fellowship, and a Civil Liberties Public Education Fund Fellowship. He was the first artist to be awarded an international Japan Foundation Grant, as well as the first in the state to receive the Kansas Arts Commission Artist Fellowship in Painting. In fall 1990, Shimomura was appointed the Dayton Hudson Distinguished Visiting Professor at Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota. Professor Shimomura has lectured on his work at more than 160 universities and art museums across the United States. In 1994 he was designated a University Distinguished Professor on the University of Kansas faculty, the first so honored in the history of the School of Fine Arts at that campus. In 1998, he received the Higuchi Research Prize, the highest annual honor bestowed on a Kansas University faculty member in the Humanities and Social Sciences. In 1999, the Seattle Urban League named a scholarship for him that is awarded annually to a Seattle resident pursuing a career in art.

Her father had come to Hawai'i from Hiroshima in the mid-1910s as a contract worker on a pineapple plantation. He grew vegetables and kept chickens around the house to help feed the family. Her mother cooked Japanese food only in part because meat was hard to come by. Many of their co-workers on the plantation were Japanese, and Yuriko used to go to the after-school school at Hongan-ji with these co-workers' children. Her peers at the public school included Filipinos, Chinese, Polynesians, Portuguese, and Haoles. When she was ten years old, her uncle and aunt in Los Angeles, who had been successful owners of Olympic Hotel, took her to Japan. They were childless, so their plan was to make Yuriko the family's heir. Yuriko quickly adjusted to the life in Japan and graduated from high school. She was working in an airplane factory when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Although she was not injured, she was irradiated because she walked through the city on the day after to look for her aunt and uncle. The entire city was still on fire. She saw many corpses and people with severe nuclear burns. She lost one of her uncles to the bomb. She also visited her friend working at an orphanage, and was struck by how many children had lost their parents to the bomb. In 1948, she went to Hawai'i to see her parents, thanks to the arrangement made by her brother who had come to Japan as part of the US occupation force. She decided that she did not want to go back to Hiroshima where memories of the destruction \"depressed\" her. She studied to regain her English and worked at her sister's bakery near Kahoku. She married a baker, and they became successful owners of another bakery named after their oldest son. Yuriko was somewhat worried about radiation effect when she was pregnant with her first child. She gained hibakusha techo (certificate of survivorhood) issued by the Japanese government in the 1960s. She also regularly attends the biannual health checkups conducted by Japanese physicians for American survivors."},{"id":"ddr-pc-29-13","model":"entity","index":"19 1169/{'value': 1191, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-pc-29-13/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-pc-29-13/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-pc-29/ddr-pc-29-13-mezzanine-f24a47b7d7-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-pc-29/ddr-pc-29-13-mezzanine-f24a47b7d7-a.jpg"},"title":"Pacific Citizen, Vol. 44, No. 13 (March 29, 1957)","description":"Select article titles: \"JACL seeks deletion of 'Fuzz Young' text, use of 'Japs' may bias children\" (p. 1); \"First Japanese PW Taken in WW2 Found Working For Car Firm\" (p. 1); \"Nat'l Campaign on Anti-Nisei TV-Films Opens\" (p. 1); \"Hearing dates for Hawaii statehood set in both Houses\" (p. 1); San Francisco 'Nipponmachi' suffers light damage in Mar. 22 earthquake\" (p. 1); \"Fiancees of Canadian Nisei permitted entry under special immigration rule\" (p. 1); \"Nisei woman veterinarian hopes of African post\" (p. 2); \"Entire community of Marsing, Idaho, comes to bat for Nisei whose home was burned down; shows strong public unity\" (p. 3); \"Sacramento Nisei war memorial center all paid up; new directors selected\" (p. 3); \"Nisei form new market cooperative\" (p. 3); Shonien push final bid for $30,000\" (p. 3); \"Detroit CL votes incorporation as non-profit group\" (p. 4); \"'April Showers' dance plans bared\" (p. 4); \"Discussions for four Sunday afternoons on Nisei-Sansei problems to be candid\" (p. 5); \"Nisei in major league ball: hits .000 but with Chicago Cubs he bats 1,000\" (p. 6); \"Celler's immigrant quota plan rapped by Calif. editorial\" (p. 8); \"Civil Rights bill advances step in both House, Senate\" (p. 8); \"Foreign service officers examination date set; application deadline May 1\" (p. 8)","extent":"11W x 17H","links_children":"ddr-pc-29-13","creators":[{"role":"publisher","namepart":"Japanese American Citizens League"}],"topics":[{"term":"Activism and involvement -- Civil rights","id":"234"},{"term":"Activism and involvement -- Politics","id":"235"},{"term":"Activism and involvement -- Politics -- Hawaiian statehood","id":"236"},{"term":"Arts and literature -- Performing arts -- Film","id":"249"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- California","id":"271"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- California -- Los Angeles","id":"272"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- California -- San Francisco","id":"273"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- Hawai'i","id":"277"},{"term":"Community activities -- Associations and organizations -- The Japanese American Citizens League","id":"20"},{"term":"Community activities -- Nihonmachi (\"Japantowns\")","id":"27"},{"term":"Community activities -- Sports -- Baseball","id":"314"},{"term":"Education","id":"31"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Nisei","id":"44"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Sansei","id":"338"},{"term":"Japanese Canadians","id":"200"},{"term":"Japanese Canadians -- Life in Canada","id":"382"},{"term":"Journalism and media -- Community publications -- Pacific Citizen","id":"389"},{"term":"Race and racism -- Discrimination","id":"37"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"periodical","location":"Los Angeles, California","creation":"03/29/1957","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Japanese American Citizens League publisher","download_large":"ddr-pc-29-13-mezzanine-f24a47b7d7-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1000-97","model":"entity","index":"20 1170/{'value': 1191, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1000-97/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1000-97/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-ugrant-01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-ugrant-01-a.jpg"},"title":"Grant Ujifusa Interview I","description":"Sansei male.
