Tokinobu Mihara wrote his books, mainly focused on language, in Japanese. He’s pictured here on the right  with a guide dog which appears to be the model for the dog on the cover of his book, “Guide Dog Research – Friend of the Blind in the United States”.

Top photo, ca 1942-1945, shows Erica Harth, the daughter of a Manzanar WRA administrator, at top left, arms folded on desk, in a first grade class posed behind an array of seven baby “white” dolls that she said were “supposedly contributed to Manzanar by the Red Cross.” Photo by Toyo Miyatake, courtesy of Toyo Miyatake Studios.
Bottom: Amache photograph discovered by Gary Ono, who is in the photo. He titled it “Block 10-E Defense Force.” Gary believes that his aunt, Yuki Okamura, took the photograph of seven children, aged three to six, to send to her sister, Kimiye Ono, who was convalescing in Boulder. CO, from tuberculosis, separated from her four children. “These little GIs, well-armed, look ready to defend their own Block 10-E, with a nurse ready, just in case,” he wrote in a 2019 Amache newsletter.
