Many historians have written of the Leisure Revolution in the United States and other western countries. Supposedly modern Americans enjoy more leisure activities than kings and queens earlier. Maybe not, but sport and recreation are one of the distinguishing features of modern American culture. It was in the centers, too, where the evacuees created a remarkable network of leisure activities. They enjoyed the wonderful natural environment of the West and in or near the centers themselves, Nikkei women and boys enjoyed a full range of recreations: baseball, football, basketball, volleyball, golf, tennis, fishing, hiking, and ice skating in winter, in addition to Japanese sports like Sumo, Kendo, and Judo. And they devised to stage every kind of musical activity imaginable. Music suffused everything. Nazi camps did not feature any of this.
