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.

You have been coaxed along with the impression that the Greater East Asia Shock Troops were invincible, however let's stop to think this over a little bit!! Up to now, there hasn't been a single incident where the G.E.A.S.T. were successfully in checking the advance of the American Forces. Why is this? In comparison to the superior armaments possessed by the American forces those possessed by the Japanese forces are far inferior. No matter how powerful they may be, two Japanese planes can't possibly defeat 20 american planes. Open your eyes and think a little!! The military leaders on the mainland are concealing the fact that the Japan of today is extremely weak. No matter how boisterous and boastful they may be, it is impossible to replinish the inferior and limited amount of equipment and fuel.","extent":"6.5W x 4.75H","links_children":"ddr-densho-381-118","creators":[{"role":"photographer","namepart":"Ishikawa, Koyo"}],"topics":[{"term":"Japan -- During World War II","id":"164"},{"term":"World War II -- Propaganda","id":"426"}],"format":"img","language":["eng","jpn"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Ishikawa, Koyo"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"photograph","location":"Tokyo, Japan","creation":"1942-1945","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Ishikawa, Koyo photographer Ishikawa, Koyo","download_large":"ddr-densho-381-118-mezzanine-4093a5f12c-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-janm-13-1","model":"entity","index":"21 1171/{'value': 1655, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-janm-13-1/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-janm-13-1/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-janm-13/denshovh-krichard-01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-janm-13/denshovh-krichard-01-a.jpg"},"title":"Richard Kosaki Interview","description":"Nisei male.
