Biography
Tsuchito Nakano was an Issei resident of Makaweli, Kauai, and the wife of Sukenoshin Nakano. JCCH records her birth year as 1894. Her individual record documents mainland transfer aboard Lurline in December 1942, Jerome confinement January 1943-June 1944 and Amache confinement July 1944-October 1945. She returned to Hawaii aboard Yarmouth in November 1945. The record does not specify her location between the stated Jerome and Amache months. Her own timeline is distinct from the December 1941 arrest of her husband. This was administrative US wartime family confinement in the context of Japanese ancestry. No individual criminal conviction, imposed judicial sentence or exact arrest or release day is established. Source: https://incarceration.jcchawaii.org/internees/nakano-tsuchito
