Have you checked with the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles?

Rachel,

You should contact Amanda Meeker at the California Museum of History, Women and the Arts.  The museum hosted traveling exhibit on the subject of Japanese internee art called,  The Art of Gaman which also appeared at the Renwick Gallery in 2011 and is still on the Smithsonian website. Also, U of CA in Sacramento has a great archive on the subject of Japanese Internment.  A book on the exhibit was produced...

The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps, 1942-1946 by Delphine Hirasuna, 2005 

Hope that is helpful.

Hello All!

My name is Rachael Sapp and I am a graduate student in the Historical Administration program at Eastern Illinois University. I am working on a term project involving two silk scarves my grandfather brought back from the Philippines during WWII. Both scarves were drawn on by Japanese prisoners of war during 1946. I have done some research on these scarves and have very little information about them, save one example I discovered in the Australian National Maritime Museum and a few examples on WWII bloodspots. I am curious to know if anyone might be able to shed some light on these scarves or types of Japanese POW artworks? If you are unable to provide more information, do you know of anyone or any resource that I could go to for researching them? Thank you so much for you time and I look forward to your reply.

Best Regards,

Rachael Sapp
