Description
A list of Tomoji Wada's funeral wishes. It includes: his ashes and remains be interred in Junshinji, which is a temple housing the Wada family's ancestral grave; his funeral be held only once--do not hold two funerals in both the U.S. and Japan; do not use an expensive casket; and inform Shohachi Wada by mail. He also notes that he is entrusting all to his son, Joe Wada. Tomoji Wada was an interpreter, bookkeeper, operator of a grocery store, and manufacturer of tofu and mochi on Terminal Island, California prior to World War II. He established a tofu manufacturing plant at the Poston camp in Arizona during the war, and became a gardener after returning from the incarceration camp to Los Angeles, California. The collection consists of receipts, ledgers, taxes, correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, journals, guidebooks, immigration materials, and incarceration camp records pertaining to Tomoji Wada and his family. Materials include born-digital objects created and transferred from the donor.
