More than 100,000 Japanese Americans
were forcefully relocated from their homes
and communities in 1942 to the stark
barracks of internment camps.

Chiura Obata, who immigrated to the United
States in 1902, was a notable and respected
artist and professor of art at the University of
California, Berkeley.  While interned he
continued his landscape expression and
began art training for other prisoners.  

Professor Obata's work may be seen on the
website of the Fine Arts Museum of San
Francisco, permanent collection.
