-
A large group portrait of the Japanese Agricultural Association of Sacramento, California, taken in 1939 by local Japanese photographer Ushizo Oyama. Oyama opened his studio in Sacramento during the 1920s and operated his business there until the outbreak of World War II. He was imprisoned at the internment camp in Amache, Colorado, where he was sporadically allowed to document the life and residents of the camp. The somber-looking group in the present portrait appears to be looking at two different photographers -- some of the people looking straight ahead while others peer off to their right. They are arranged in three rows, seated and standing in front of a rural building draped in the flags of the United States and Japan. The negative caption is written entirely in Japanese, but the first portion of the text translates roughly to "Japanese Agriculture Meeting;" the names of the men (and one woman) are noted on the verso on the image, row by row. In a mat stamped with the imprimatur of the Oyama Studio. [Description provided by McBride Rare Books]
