Artist Eddie Sato grew up in Seattle. In 1942, at age 19, he was incarcerated with other Seattle Japanese-Americans at the Puyallup Assembly Center, also known as "Camp Harmony," in Puyallup, Washington. Sato served as a staff artist for the Camp Harmony newspaper, sketching scenes of everyday life at the camp. He subsequently fought in the U.S. Army's 442nd Battalion (also known as the 442nd Regimental Combat Team), a highly decorated, all-Nisei unit. Sato later worked as a commercial artist in Chicago.
