Full title:Rokuro Okubo turns tree surgeon as he operates on a large tree on the landscaped grounds of the estate-type farm where he is employed, and where he and his family live, including his wife, Ayako, and his three daughters; Phyllis, age 2; Joan, age 4; and Virginia, age 8. Mr. Okubo is farming 120 acres, mostly in corn and soy beans, for his employer. The Okubos have a small but very modern home on the main grounds of the estate.

The Okubos came to Illinois from Granada Relocation Center in April, 1944. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Palatine, Illinois.
