A sales tax token was used to pay sales tax on goods. This one is made out of plastic, which dates it to the 1940s, when metal was too expensive to be used on these types of tokens. Item from Misao Okada’s album.
Misao Okada’s scrapbook contains photographs, ephemera, notes, and correspondence documenting her time at Amache and a visit and reunion over 50 years later. The scrapbook also includes materials relating to reparations and events observing Japanese American incarceration.
