Sadayuki Uno (Japanese/American, 1901 to 1989),
Sadayuki Uno was born in Japan, but moved to the United States to be with his father. He attended high school in Oakland, after which he received a scholarship to the California College of Arts and Crafts. He continued to study art and worked as an interior decorator and gardener in the Bay Area through the Depression. Uno was relocated to the Fresno Assembly Center after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. From there, he and his family were transferred to internment camps in Arkansas – first Jerome, then Rohwer. Uno and his family were interned in Rohwer from June 1944 until November of 1945, when they departed the camp and returned to Oakland, California.
