The photograph captures a few hundred finely- dressed Japanese-American men and women posed in a courtyard in Oakland California. Various delegates to the conference hold handwritten signs indicating their home cities and regional organizations which include Marysville Palo Alto San Mateo San Francisco Fresno Oakland Sacramento Delta Pasadena and numerous other smaller California cities and locales. There are also banners for attendees from the Stockton Chapter of the Y.B.A. the Coast District of the Young Buddhist Association and the Central California Young Buddhist Association. The elders of the organization sit in chairs in front of the young Bussei.
