Portland, Oregon 1931

Ichiro Sueoka JP, 2008, 10', 16 mm

"This is one of my recently series work, Re-interpretation for the private films which has been cited from old home movies. In 1931, the Japanese-Americans enjoyed an autumn sports day, conforming to the custom of the mother country. J. Tanaka who was a hotel manager in Portland city recorded the event while chasing his daughter. For him, the every event of Japanese-American people was the important topic that he should have recorded. We can see a lost happy time in this film. However, I felt any film might disappear to the history." (Ichiro Sueoka)
