Painting
Description
This is an unframed, sketched painting depicting the new living quarters in which the Hibi family are living in at the Tanforan Assembly Center. The painting depicts several barracks which were the housing for the Japanese people within the relocation and internment camps. In the foreground is a woman with a bucket there are no distinguishing features of the woman however it was Hibi’s style to paint people without specificity so the figure may not represent symbolism. The guard tower stands central to in the painting which could be representative of the fact that the Japanese people were mandatorily evacuated and held within these camps and restricted from leaving.
