She remembers her father's affection for the family and his dedication to Buddhism, and how busy her mother was raising children. They hired Mexican laborers and operated their business successfully, winning many blue ribbons for their products at state fairs. Matsuko recalls how the family enjoyed going to camping at Yosemite, and how she went to a Japanese school on Saturdays and Sundays, which she found not effective in teaching her Japanese. As for the American school that she attended on weekdays, she recalls how her teachers were prejudiced against the Japanese. When she went to Japan in 1940, she felt her Japanese classmates were biased against Americans like herself. She and other Nisei at her school in Hiroshima spoke in English, making their Japanese classmate believe that the American students were bad-mouthing their Japanese peers. On August 8, 1945, she was injured and lost consciousness after the bombing, but she survived with the help of her Nisei friend that she knew from a sewing school she had attended in Hiroshima. She lost one of her sisters to the bombing, whom her family was able to identify only because of the white nametag she wore. After losing her Japanese husband to the war, Matsuko came back to the United States in 1947, went to a drapery school and worked in Hollywood as a dressmaker, and was remarried to a Nisei who had been a \"no-no-boy\" in Tule Lake and expressed no concern about the fact that Matsuko is a survivor. As a dedicated Buddhist, Matsuko spent her married life focusing on raising family and working at a nursery, and interacted with other US survivors only occasionally. She feels that being attacked by the bomb was like being hit by tsunami; it was shikata ga nai (It couldn't be helped)."},{"id":"ddr-csujad-42-91","model":"entity","index":"22 5847/{'value': 5880, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-csujad-42-91/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-csujad-42-91/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-csujad-42/ddr-csujad-42-91-mezzanine-09d9d4092f-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-csujad-42/ddr-csujad-42-91-mezzanine-09d9d4092f-a.jpg"},"title":"Letter from Fumio Fred Takano to Interviewing Committee, War Relocation Authority, Gila River Relocation Project, June 23, 1943","description":"A letter from Fumio Fred Takano to Interviewing Committee, War Relocation Authority, Gila River Relocation Project. It requests a reconsideration of his answers to the loyalty questions, 27 and 28. He claims that his answers to both questions were recorded in the negative and desires to change them in the affirmative. Listing his family's background information, he asserts that he and his family have hardly involved in the Japanese community and had \"a definite stand of loyalty to the Untied States.\" He attaches \"History on my answers to questions 27 and 28\" in which he explains about how his answer to 27 was altered to the negative even though his answer was initially \"Yes.\" He claims that his negative answers did not reflect his expression of disloyalty and requests for a change to the affirmative for both questions. The letter includes the note which refers to references from his employer at the camp. Those references are found in items: csudh_tak_0093 and csudh_tak_0094.

Helen pursued stenography and secretarial work in junior high as she was fascinated by typing. Although fond of typing, Helen switched her major to Cosmology after taking a Home Economics course. She then describes the issues she had with transferring schools multiple times and trying to find the courses necessary to complete this major. At Manzanar, Helen describes the need to play catch-up and the desire to take both summer courses and to enroll in a junior college to help fill in the lost time.
