Lois took me to Japanese Town of Seattle. We visited the Wingluke Asian Museum.

We could learn the tough history of Japanese Americans, esp. during World War Two. Their estate was confiscated and they were put into concentration camps.

After seeing the museum, we went out to the Japanese down. We went to a Japanese shop called Kobo, then next shop called Momo.

We saw a video of the Japanese sisters called Aya and Masa. One of them reminded me of Mr. Shinoda’s mother in Fujisawa.

Then we walked up to the slope and went to the church (Faith Baptist Church). Craig took us by car and went to their home.

Craig and I went to a restaurant and bought a bagful of fried chickens for lunch.

We had lunch at their backyard. Lois made brawn rice balls and we ate them with fried chickens.

After having lunch, Craig and Lois took me to the Museum of Flight. It seems a private museum of the Bowing Company.

[At Museum of Flight, ボーイング社の航空博物館にて、보잉 항공 박물관에서]

It was a huge museum. I could learn the history of aviation. The really airplanes were on display. It was really nice.

After enjoying the sightseeing of the museum, we went to a nice house in the suburbs.

[House Party of the Katos]

We were invited to the home of Mr. & Mrs. Kato. Mr. Kato is a 2.5-sei Japanese Americans. His wife’s name is Reiko. She reminded me of my 4th elder sister when she was healthy about a decade ago.

Mr. & Mrs. Kato have 3 boys: Makoto, 25 is a student at seminary in Portland.

[At the Kato's home, 加藤家にて、카토 씨의 집에서]

Shou, 22 is a senior at a medical school and now is going to be sent to India as a volunteer medical staff for 2 months.

[The main dish, メインディッシュ、메인 요리]

Ken, 18 is going to enter a college in East Coast, and going to study technologies.

I forgot to ask Reiko where she comes from. She sounds like Kansaijin. She told me about her uncle’s illness and death after having stroke. That reminded me of my won father’s case.

Gary, her husband took care of the party very well. He even cooked most of the meals and he reminded me of my first son, Hajime in Australia.

Main meal was curry and I also liked purple sweet potatoes. We enjoyed the party until 10 pm and went home rather late.

入植の苦労と太平洋戦争勃発による強制収容所での生活、戦後の様子など。ホテルの地下に残された家財道具などあわただしく追い立てられた様子がそのまま残っていた。

Higo→Koboという日系人の店と、その隣のMomoという店にも入った。この店のカウンターにはAya and Masa Murakamiという姉妹らしい二人の女性の写真があり、1993年にボランティアがインタビューしたときのビデオが見られるようになっていた。このうちの一人は篠田均さんの母上によく似ている。

[加藤家のハウスパーティ]

[Visiting a Japanese American's house, 日系人の家を訪ねた。일본계 미국인의 집을 찾았다.]

ご主人は2.5世のお医者様というDr. Gary Katoの家で、奥さんはRiekoさん。

[At the Kato's home, 加藤家にて、카토 씨의 집에서]

なんとなく元気なころのキヨ子姉に似ている気がした。彼らの子供は3兄弟。長男Makotoは25歳でポートランドの神学校に在学中。

[Raspberries,ラズベリー、라즈베리]

次男のShouは医学を学ぶ大学4年生で、最近Haichiへ医療スタッフとして短期ミッション・ボランティアで奉仕してきたとRiekoさんから聞いた。

[At the home party, ホームパーティにて、홈 파티에서]

彼の彼女も招かれていてZoe Thatcherという賢そうな娘さん。ちかじかインドへボランティア・スタッフとして2か月行くことが決まっている。

陽気な三男はKen(18)で今年9月から東海岸の大学へ進み技術関係を専攻するらしい。

[At the end of the party, パーティの終わりに、파티의 끝에서 단체 사진]

Riekoさんの出身をききそびれたがどうも関西方面らしい。最近叔父が脳卒中で半身不随になった後かなり悲惨な体験をして死亡したという。

私も親父を思い出した。夫のGaryがこまめにパーティの準備をしたようで、肇をみるような気がした。

メインはカレーで紫のスイートポテトも好評だった。デザートもGaryが作ったと言う。10時過ぎまで話が弾み、かなり遅くなって帰宅した。
