Full title:Pvt. Kenichi Kawakami is learning weaving from a fellow patient. Working with the loom will help to strengthen
his shoulder which was badly injured by shrapnel fragments when he was fighting in Italy with the 100th Battalion. Pvt. Kawakami
was inducted into the army in November 1941, in Hawaii, and was stationed at Schofield Barracks at the time of the Pearl Harbor
attack. As are many of the other wounded Nisei, he is anxious to rejoin his outfit if he has the assurance that he is physically
fit and will not be hampered by the wound in his shoulder.<lb/> Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen<lb/> Swannanoa, North Carolina.
