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. 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":"04:29:53","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-137","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":129,"namepart":"Mitsuye May Yamada"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice

They settled in Days, Washington in the early 1900s. Their 1,300-acre farm was largely self-sustaining and the Nakashimas purchased only dry goods. Produce such as corn, potatoes, lettuce, and fruit were grown on the farm. The property line of the farm extended far beyond the tree line shown in this photo. The couple was forced to sell their property for only $18,000 with the advent of World War II. The extensive acreage and its prime timber were worth far more. After the war, they never returned to farming but relocated to Seattle, where they operated several hotels. In 1997, the Snohomish County Council spent $593,000 in conservation funds to purchase 89 acres from the property's owner with the intention of making the land a trailhead. The remaining structures on the land may someday be used as a park-ranger residence and interpretive center. Days, Washington no longer exists. This site is currently near the town of Arlington in Snohomish County.","extent":"2128W x 944H (pixels)","links_children":"ddr-densho-46-2","topics":[{"term":"Industry and employment -- Agriculture -- Dairy farming","id":"344"}],"format":"img","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Nakashima, Kamezo"},{"namepart":"Nakashima, Miye"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"pcc","genre":"photograph","location":"Days, Washington","creation":"Early 1900s","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Nakashima, Kamezo \nNakashima, Miye","download_large":"ddr-densho-46-2-mezzanine-589bdd97e3-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-121-1","model":"entity","index":"19 4919/{'value': 5069, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-121-1/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-121-1/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-121/ddr-densho-121-1-mezzanine-bad298b5e3-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-121/ddr-densho-121-1-mezzanine-bad298b5e3-a.jpg"},"title":"Pacific Citizen Vol. 21 No. 10","description":"Selected article titles: \"Army Revokes All Coast Exclusion Orders\" (p. 1), \"Japanese American Soldiers Among First U.S. Troops to Land on Japan's Home Islands\" (p. 1), \"Anti-Nisei Group Organizers Face Fraud Charge in Seattle\" (p. 1), \"Harper's Article Says Coast Evacuation of Nisei Citizens \"Our Worst Wartime Mistake\"\" (p. 1), \"Nisei Sergeant Reported Killed on Day Before V-J\" (p. 2), \"Five Tule Lake Youths Freed From Camp Jail\" (p. 2), \"Sgt.
