William Toshio Yasutake was interviewed together with his sister Mitsuye (Yasutake) Yamada and surviving brother, Joseph Yasutake, in group sessions on October 8-9, 2002. He was interviewed individually on November 14, 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. 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":"00:02:52","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-138-2","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":131,"namepart":"Tosh Yasutake"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice Ito"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Tom Ikeda"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"Dana Hoshide"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","geography":[{"term":"Seattle, Washington","id":"\"http://vocab.getty.edu/tgn/7014494\""}],"rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"November 14, 2002","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Tosh Yasutake narrator \nAlice Ito interviewer \nTom Ikeda interviewer \nDana Hoshide videographer","download_large":"denshovh-ytosh-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1000-138-33","model":"segment","index":"10 8760/{'value': 10000, 'relation': 'gte'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1000-138-33/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1000-138-33/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-ytosh-01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-ytosh-01-a.jpg"},"title":"Tosh Yasutake Interview Segment 33","description":"Raising a family, experiencing discrimination when trying to buy a home in Bothell, WashingtonWilliam Toshio Yasutake was interviewed together with his sister Mitsuye (Yasutake) Yamada and surviving brother, Joseph Yasutake, in group sessions on October 8-9, 2002.

The Kanekos are formerly from Hunt Relocation Center and before evacuation lived in Seattle, Washington.\" Beginning in summer 1942, the War Relocation Authority (WRA) began to release incarcerees and encouraged them to resettle in areas of the United States other than the West Coast. However, many Japanese Americans were reluctant to leave (incarcerees did not depart in large numbers until 1944). The Issei in particular, many of whom were sixty or older, had little with which to start a new life after losing their farms and small businesses. Incarcerees also feared for their safety; reports and rumors of hostile treatment by outsiders were common in camps. The WRA started a campaign to show how good life was outside the camps and away from the West Coast. The agency took photographs of the Kaneko and Isoda families for that purpose. Tei Kaneko and her family joined her sister, Sachiko Isoda, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where a church had helped them find a furnished home. Incarcerees from various camps informed Kaneko that they had seen the WRA photographs posted on camp blackboards.","extent":"2065W x 1471H (pixels)","links_children":"ddr-densho-7-6","topics":[{"term":"World War II -- Leaving camp -- \"Resettlement\"","id":"104"}],"format":"img","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Kaneko, Tei"},{"namepart":"Isoda, George"},{"namepart":"Kaneko, Wayne"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"pcc","genre":"photograph","location":"Milwaukee, Wisconsin","creation":"1944","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Kaneko, Tei \nIsoda, George \nKaneko, Wayne","download_large":"ddr-densho-7-6-mezzanine-b3129359a2-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-537-42","model":"entity","index":"15 8765/{'value': 10000, 'relation': 'gte'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-537-42/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-537-42/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-537/ddr-densho-537-42-mezzanine-827b87268f-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-537/ddr-densho-537-42-mezzanine-827b87268f-a.jpg"},"title":"Crystal City Chatter Issue 32","description":"Issue 32 includes a redress update, a letter to President Clinton; letters to the editor, and more.","extent":"8.5W x 11H","links_children":"ddr-densho-537-42","creators":[{"role":"publisher","namepart":"Crystal City Chatters"},{"role":"author","namepart":"Utsushigawa-Shimatsu, Sumi"}],"topics":[{"term":"Community activities -- Associations and organizations","id":"16"},{"term":"Japanese Latin Americans -- Redress and reparations","id":"168"},{"term":"Reflections on the past","id":"118"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Crystal City Chatters"},{"namepart":"Utsushigawa-Shimatsu, Sumi"},{"namepart":"Crystal City Association"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr007nf0t","namepart":"Dyo, Sei"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr011898x","namepart":"Takeuchi, Tomoko"},{"namepart":"Japanese American National Museum"},{"namepart":"Woo, Chris"},{"namepart":"Ochi, Florence"},{"namepart":"Clinton, William \"Bill\" Jefferson"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr0085t8f","namepart":"Ishida, Taeko Helen"},{"namepart":"Ishida, Nitten"},{"namepart":"Lunz, Lee"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr0092c4w","namepart":"Morita, Tetsuko"},{"namepart":"Delgado, Mike"},{"namepart":"Yamane, Doris Kawahira"},{"namepart":"Suzuki, Ellen"},{"namepart":"Kamisato, Chieko"},{"namepart":"Takemoto, Alice"},{"namepart":"Ishizuka, Yuri"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr005jk13","namepart":"Okazaki, Maruko"},{"namepart":"Lawrora, John R."},{"namepart":"MacCormack, John"},{"namepart":"Kashima, Tetsuden"},{"namepart":"Katayama, Kazie"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr006qm1f","namepart":"Ichikawa, Akira"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr006qm56","namepart":"Ichikawa, Satoru"},{"namepart":"Smithsonian Mobile Museum"},{"namepart":"Seattle JACL"},{"namepart":"Washington University"},{"namepart":"Fujisaki, Caroline"},{"namepart":"Ito, Kiyo"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr0086c97","namepart":"Ito, Yone"},{"namepart":"Higashi, Jimmy"},{"namepart":"Ishida, Tad"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr008b02p","namepart":"Koga, Satomi"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"periodical","location":"Camarilla, California","facility":[{"term":"Crystal City","id":"29"}],"creation":"December 1996","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Crystal City Chatters publisher \nUtsushigawa-Shimatsu, Sumi author Crystal City Chatters \nUtsushigawa-Shimatsu, Sumi \nCrystal City Association \nDyo, Sei 88922nr007nf0t\nTakeuchi, Tomoko 88922nr011898x\nJapanese American National Museum \nWoo, Chris \nOchi, Florence \nClinton, William \"Bill\" Jefferson \nIshida, Taeko Helen 88922nr0085t8f\nIshida, Nitten \nLunz, Lee \nMorita, Tetsuko 88922nr0092c4w\nDelgado, Mike \nYamane, Doris Kawahira \nSuzuki, Ellen \nKamisato, Chieko \nTakemoto, Alice \nIshizuka, Yuri \nOkazaki, Maruko 88922nr005jk13\nLawrora, John R. \nMacCormack, John \nKashima, Tetsuden \nKatayama, Kazie \nIchikawa, Akira 88922nr006qm1f\nIchikawa, Satoru 88922nr006qm56\nSmithsonian Mobile Museum \nSeattle JACL \nWashington University \nFujisaki, Caroline \nIto, Kiyo \nIto, Yone 88922nr0086c97\nHigashi, Jimmy \nIshida, Tad \nKoga, Satomi 88922nr008b02p","download_large":"ddr-densho-537-42-mezzanine-827b87268f-a.jpg"},{"id":"129","model":"narrator","index":"16 8766/{'value': 10000, 'relation': 'gte'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/129/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/129/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ymitsuye.jpg","thumb":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ymitsuye.jpg","interviews":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/129/interviews/"},"display_name":"Mitsuye May Yamada","bio":"Female, child of Issei parents.
