A photo of the members of パサデナ佛教會園藝部, that is, the gardening club at the Pasadena Buddhist Temple. In the photo, people are kneeling and standing around an indoor garden setting with trees, bushes, and a fence. The setting was for an exhibit of tea house site accessories. The caption reads: パサデナ佛教會園藝部, 千九百六十四年二月二十九日, 2/29 1964 [= Pasadena Buddhist Temple Gardening Club, February 29, 1964]. The back of the photo has a handwritten note that says "Pasadena Buddest [Buddhist] Church Engei-club." The Nishimura and Nagata Family Papers contains items relating to the history of the Pasadena Buddhist Church, including photos of events and groups associated with the church like the Pasadena Buddhist Women's Association, the Young Buddhist League (BL), various Buddhist Church conferences, Judo competitions, and Kendo competitions. Materials also relate to the incarceration of the Nagata family at the Heart Mountain incarceration camp in Cody, Wyoming and include photographs of the family.
