Full title:Pvt. Kenichi Kawakami is being shown how to manage a loom by the Occupational Therapist at Moore General Hospital
at Swannanoa, North Carolina. Working with the loom will help to strengthen his shoulder which was badly injured by shrapnel
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.
