He moved into the Los Angeles area and enrolled at the Otis Art Institute to study painting. During World War II, he continued his art practice, sketching and painting watercolors scenes while incarcerated at the\n  <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Santa_Anita_(detention_facility)/\" title=\"Santa Anita (detention facility)\">\n   Santa Anita\n  </a>\n  Assembly Center in California and the concentration camp at\n  <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Rohwer/\" title=\"Rohwer\">\n   Rohwer\n  </a>\n  , Arkansas. Some of his surviving work from camp include works with crayon on paper depicting everyday life in camp such as the guardhouse, an amateur theater performance and an art class, although it is uncertain whether he developed any of his drawings into finished paintings. After he was released from Rohwer, he returned to Los Angeles.\n </p>\n <p>\n  Kondo died in 1973.\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n  <b>\n   Authored by\n   <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Patricia_Wakida/\" title=\"Patricia Wakida\">\n    Patricia Wakida\n   </a>\n  </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n  Wakida, Patricia\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"For_More_Information\">\n  <h2>\n   <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"For_More_Information\">\n    For More Information\n   </span>\n  </h2>\n  <div class=\"section_content\">\n  </div>\n </div>\n</div>",
