Jingo Takeuchi, a Japanese language instructor was arrested March 1942 and sent to an enemy alien camp run by the Department of Justice in Sante Fe, New Mexico. His wife and four youngest sons were sent to the Topaz camps in Utah. After two years of appeals, the Takeuchi's were finally reunited at the family incarceration camp in Crystal City, Texas. Takeuchi made these traditional Japanese geta sandals for his nine-year-old son Goro while they were separated. |
