Full title:This group of New York City Nisei is spending a social evening in the living room of the uptown apartment of Mr.
and Mrs. Tatsuo Hasegawa, who are seated on the couch in the background. Mrs. Hasegawa came to New York from Seattle, Washington,
in 1939. To their left is their niece, Constance Murayama, a student evacuated from Tule Lake, who received her master of
arts degree in June 1944 from Smith College. Playing rummy, from left to right, are Toshio Ikeda, brother of Mrs. Hasegawa,
from Minidoka; Jack Hata, a non-evacuee who is associated with the New York Church Committee for Japanese Americans; and Tatsu
Hori, Heart Mountain. Looking on is Mrs. Hori, who came to New York from Henderson, Colorado in 1940. Another resident of
the apartment, Chizuko Ikeda, sister of Mrs. Hasegawa and also from Minidoka, was on vacation from her job as secretary in
the WRA area office when this photograph was taken. The other members of the Ikeda family, Mr. and Mrs. Kiyoshi Ikeda, Betty,
and Henry, resettled from Minidoka to Bedford, New York, early in September, 1944.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/>
