DESCRIPTION

Caption below photo: Given her age and outfit, this is Hatsuyo's 1912 trip from Alameda to Japan at age 5. She will remain in Hiroshima until she is 17 years and 2 month old. Hanae and her brother, Min, also went to Japan on this same voyage. All three children went there be educated in Japan. It is unknown how long they stayed there. Perhaps the unknown man at far left assisted the children, as the parents did not go to Japan on this trip. given Hatsuyo's expression, she appears apprehensive at the prospect of leaving her Alameda family behind, for a country she knows nothing about. She will live with her grandmother in Hiroshima.
