Following his wartime internment, he and his wife returned to reopen their Berkeley studio, while Obata continued to teach art classes. He painted these UC campus drawings during that postwar period. After his academic retirement in 1954, he devoted his time to painting and to conducting art tours of Japan. Six of these plates show scenes from UC campuses other than Berkeley.
