Description
The Yamaguchi Kenjinkai, the Bocho Doshi Kai's antecedent, was first established in Sacramento, the year of Taisho gannen, 1912. When WW II broke out in 1942, all the kaigai kyokais [Japanese overseas associations] were forced to dissolve since its retention in the camps was a violation of one of the eleven paragraphs of the Enemy Act. In the spring of 1946, Bocho Doshi Kai was the first to reorganize in Sacramento. The Japanese American Archival Collection documents the people, places, and daily life of Japanese Americans, primarily those who lived in the once thriving community of pre-war Florin in the Sacramento region, as well as the conditions in American incarceration camps during World War II. The approximately 7,000 original items include personal and official letters, photographs, diaries, arts and crafts, newsletters, textiles, camps artifacts, yearbooks and other publications.
