DescriptionOne (1) b&w photographic print of a young girl in traditional Japanese Furisode Kimono holding a box of Umeya senbei. In English in the upper right corner of the box it reads, “assorted tea cakes.” In large letters down the middle of the box it reads “おせんべい” (senbei, Japanese rice crackers). Next to her set on a display table is another box which is opened to display the context of three different types of crackers, one kind is rolled into a tube, another is shaped like a sakura flower, and the last are small flat circles.

Support the understanding and appreciation of the Japanese American experience.
