After the war, he submitted his design for the Hiroshima Dome Museum, but his work was denied because he was "American".
One side he was accused to be Japanese, and the other side he was denied because he was American. I can only imagine how he was thinking of his own identity.

So Wednesday was our day of travel. Myself, and 55 other individuals, headed to Haneda airport to fly out to Chitose, which is actually southwest of Sapporo...If anyone plans on coming to see me you will also have to fly out of Haneda as there are no flights from Narita to Hokkaido.
