Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Okubo and her brother Benji were interned at the Tanforan Assembly Center and then the Topaz War Relocation Center from 1942 to 1944. During this period, she engaged in artistic production, creating over 2,000 drawings and sketches that offered a visual account of daily life in the camps. These works were subsequently included in her published book, Citizen 13660. Following her release from internment, Okubo relocated to New York City, where she pursued her artistic career. She received numerous awards and accolades, further solidifying her position as a respected figure in the art world.
