James Araki oral history interview, part 3 of 3, October 7, 2010

Araki continues his discussion on his assignments in Japan, working in Tokushima and helping to translate and interpret during the military occupation. Next, he talks about the black market during the occupation and how the big cities were the only places where they really thrived. He was also asked to teach democracy in schools and would also learn a lot about how business was run throughout Japan. Next, he speaks about the earthquake that hit Tokushima and the aftereffects of it, including constant tremors and a tidal wave. After this, he speaks about Japan's economic rise and how their business ideals worked in their favor to create lasting corporations. He talks about the Military Intelligence Service language school that he was involved with in Hawaii and how they have not received recognition as the mainland language schools have. He finishes by admiring the occupation of Japan and giving praise to General MacArthur.
