Description
Wooden abacus (soroban) used by the Nakano family prior to World War II. Asataro Nakano and Misao Gyotoku Nakano immigrated from Japan in the early 1900s. They settled in West Sacramento where they purchased land to farm. Their three children include: Margaret Shigeko Nakano, Ruth Kikue Nakano, and George Asato Nakano. The Nakano family and extended family members were sent to the Granada Relocation Center in Amache, Colordao during the Internment period. Upon release they settled in Denver, Colorado.
