Description
Full title:Ihei Hatanaka and Paul Koga, Isseis relocated in Kansas City, Missouri, are shown in front of the plant where they are employed--a firm manufacturing corrugated containers. Mr. Hatanaka is formerly of Redondo Beach, California, and relocated from the Poston, Arizona, Center with his wife and three small children in October 1944. Mr. Koga and his wife, May, are from Gardena, also relocating from Poston, Arizona, arriving in Kansas City in May 1944 to join other members of their family already relocated. The wives of the two men are sisters. Mrs. Koga, an expert seamstress, has a business of her own--taking orders for dressmaking. The Hatanaka children have been well accepted in a local grammar school and both families hope to make Kansas City their permanent home. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Kansas City, Missouri.
