Takahashi Birds


Yoneguma and Kiyoka Takahashi were among many Japanese-Americans confined in Poston Camp, AZ after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

While in the camp, they participated in a craft class where they learned to carve and paint small birds.

After their release from the camp, the Takahashis turned their craft into a family business that continued for 40 years.
