Description
Miyahara continues his recollection of his time visiting Asia in 1936 for kendo. Next, when back in America, he speaks about Pearl Harbor and the forced removal to temporary detention centers at the Pomona fairgrounds. His friends would visit him here and notice the lack of furniture and privacy. After this, he jumps to his time in occupied Japan, working as an engineer. His first assignment would be to town plan for various cities in Russia, using hand drawn maps from Japanese civilians that had been there before. After this, he talks about the recreational activities the Niseis had during the occupation including dances and practicing kendo.
