Description
Black and white image
Group portrait, men and boys, some in martial arts costume
Tentoku Kan ca. 1940. taken after September 1939. Chuji Sakata is NOT
in it, whereas Susumu Nitta IS in it. Sakata went to California in
November 1938, while Nitta returned to Seattle from Japan in September
1939. If Tats Yorita is also in the photo , then the date would have to be after December 15, 1939, which is when Yorita returned to Seattle from Japan, but before October 1940,
when he moved to Yakima. It is a beautiful dojo, in any case, and the
photo is definitely Tentoku Kan.
