Asaka, Issei, first relocated to Washington, D.C., in August, 1943, from Gila River Relocation Center. He worked as a farm
hand on one of the farms near Washington. In November, 1944, he opened his grocery store in Washington, being the fourth person
of Japanese descent to open a store here and the second relocatee to do so. With Harry, is his wife, Irene, a Nisei, born
and reared near Ogden, Utah, and their three children Ronald, 10, Dennis, 8, and John, 4 years old. The grocery business is
not new to Harry as he used to operate one in California. He thinks that there are excellent opportunities for other stores
in Washington.<lb/> Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen<lb/> "Washington, D.C.", .
