Japanese relocation, California, 1942. Creator: Dorothea Lange
Japanese relocation, California. Members of the Shibuya family are pictured at home before evacuation. The father and the mother were born in Japan and came to this country in 1904. At that time the father had sixty dollars cash and a basket of clothes. He later built a prosperous business of raising select varieties of chrysanthemums, which he shipped to Eastern markets under his own name. Six children in the family were born in the United States. The four older children attended leading California universities. Evacuees of Japanese ancestry will be housed in the War Relocation Authority centers for the duration

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1942, captures the Shibuya family in their California home before their forced evacuation during the Second World War. The father and mother, both born in Japan, arrived in the United States in 1904 with just $60 and a basket of clothes. They went on to build a successful chrysanthemum farming business, which they operated under their own name and shipped to Eastern markets. Six of their children were born in the United States, with the older four attending leading California universities. The ominous caption accompanying the image reads, "Evacuees of Japanese ancestry will be housed in the War Relocation Authority centers for the duration." The Shibuya family, along with over 120,000 Japanese Americans, were classified as enemy aliens and subjected to internment camps due to their Japanese heritage, despite many being American citizens. The image is a poignant reminder of the adversity faced by Japanese Americans during this period, and the loss of their homeland and livelihoods. The father's solemn expression and the children's curious gazes add to the sense of uncertainty and upheaval. The photograph is a significant historical document, preserved in the National Archives and Records Administration, and is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
