Lost and Found is a project created by the Nikkei National Museum with featured posts from our friends aimed to generate a conversation across our community. This conversation, with your help, will let us put names to faces and places. Each week we will post new photographs and we hope you will join in by leaving your comments on who or where or when or what you think about the photograph. Visit our online collection to explore more photographs or stop by and visit our museum!
We have almost solved this picture's mystery from emails and phone calls we have received after it was published in the Nikkei Voice and I thought I would share with our viewers:
ReplyDeleteFrom Keiko Orida/Yamashita:
Hi, I'd like to identify myself and others:
There are 3 of us standing from left to right I'm Keiko Orida, next is Queen 1946, Meiko Suyama and previous year's Queen Kiku, Kay, Mochizuki. The one seated in front of me with flowers on her head is Kuniko Morishita. I cannot identify the two little girls and the little boy. Fellow on left looking is Kaz Ide.
Married surnames are: Keiko Orida/Yamashita , Meiko Suyama/Bando and Kiku Mochizuki/Komori. Meiko and I reside now in Toronto whilst Kiku and Kuniko(unmarried)reside in Vancouver.
And From Jenny Oyagi:
ReplyDeleteTop left, Keiko (Kay) Yamashita (nee Orida; lives in Toronto), Meiko Suyama (don't know if she is married), Kiku (might be Kikuko, or Kikuye) Kay Komori (nee Mochizuki; lives in Vancouver).
The fellow in the left corner is Kaze Ide. He went to Japan after the war and passed away last year.
Not 100 percent sure, but the caller thinks that perhaps the girl standing behind the two young girls is Aiko (nee Hori) Sutherland, who lives in Victoria, B.C.
