He sees U.S. troops heading back to the U.S. and hopes he is going to be able to go back home soon.

"description": "This collection consists of Yuriko Tsukada (nee Domoto)’s photographs, correspondences, personal records, diaries, and Granada (Amache) Camp Administrative Records related to the Social Welfare Department. \r\nPhotographs in this collection are of the Domoto and Tsukada families before 1941.\r\nThe correspondences are to Yuriko Tsukada (nee Domoto) from friends and family while she was held in Merced Assembly Center and Granada (Amache) and in the years following her resettlement on the East Coast predominantly between 1942 and 1946. Yuriko Tsukada (nee Domoto) received letters from her husband Richard “Dick” Hiroshi Tsukada when they were dating in 1943 and 1944 when he left Granada (Amache) to find work. Additionally, Richard and Yuri lived apart in 1946 when he moved to New Rochelle, New York and Yuri attended Simmon's College in Boston. Additionally, Yuriko Tsukada (nee Domoto) received letters and artwork from longtime friend, artist Mine Okubo between 1948-1994 and kept several programs from art shows of Mine Okubo's work. To learn more about Mine Okubo see <a href=\"http://encyclopedia.densho.org/Mine_Okubo/\">http://encyclopedia.densho.org/Mine_Okubo/</a> and to see more of her work visit Riverside Community College <a href=\"http://library.rcc.edu/riverside/okubo/\">http://library.rcc.edu/riverside/okubo/</a> and the Japanese American National Musuem <a href=\"http://www.janm.org/collections/mine-okubo-collection/\">http://www.janm.org/collections/mine-okubo-collection</a> which both hold physical collections of Mine Okubo's work. Yuri Tsukada wrote frequently to her brother Kaneji Domoto, and that correspondence can be found in the Kaneji and Sally (Fujii) Domoto Collection (ddr-densho-329) <a href=\"http://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-329/\">ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-329</a>. \r\nYuriko Tsukada's (nee Domoto) diaries date from 1927 through 1943. \r\nHer personal records range from accounting books to school reports to personal legal documents to documents and letters related to the Domoto Bro's Nursery that her father, uncle and eldest brother managed; broadly from the 1910s through the 1940s. She also kept meeting minutes from the Committee of Immigrant Serving Agencies from December 1941 to February 1942 and case notes from Japanese Americans seeking assistance following the bombing of Pearl Harbor.\r\nThe Administrative Records are from Yuriko Tsukada's (nee Domoto) time as a Social Worker at Granada (Amache) and at Merced Assembly Center. These records include: internal memos regarding office work, blank forms, social welfare worker’s studies, resettlement efforts, family reunification polices, and the transfer of individuals from Tule Lake to Amache.",

"description": "A letter from Makoto Okine to his father, Seiichi Okine. He writes from Italy where he is stationed as a Nisei solder. The letter is mailed via New York by the U.S. Army Postal Service. In the letter, he explains how Seiichi would receive 25.00 dollars of the military family allowance monthly. The government deducts 25.00 dollars from Makoto's salary monthly and mail a check to Seiichi. The process takes one or one and half months. He also writes about his brother, Masao, who is also stationed in Japan as a Nisei soldier. He expresses his interest in Japan and wishes that he was deployed in Japan as a Military Intelligence Service soldier. He always worries about his family in California and hopes that he would be discharged soon. The arrival date of the letter, April 4, 1946, is recorded.

"description": "Article: \"Progressive Party Leader Of Japan Here. Takeo Miki, chief secretary of the Progressive Party (Kaishinto) of Japan, and Mrs. Miki are visiting in Honolulu today enroute back to Japan after a two months' world tour. They arrived here last night from San Francisco at 10 by plane, and are scheduled to depart for Tokyo tonight at 10:30 by Pan American clipper. Miki said the purpose of his trip was to survey postwar reconstruction conditions in Europe and the Near East and meet major political leaders in various countries to get their views on the world situation. Leaving Japan on Sept. 5 with his wife, he visited India, Egypt and Europe, and arrived in the United States on Oct. 20, spending most of his time in New York City and Washington, D. C. Miki recalled today that he first visited Hawaii as a member of the Meiji university debating team which toured the world. He spent two weeks here at that time, and has many friends in the Islands. He is a former member of the Japanese cabinet, having been appointed minister of communications at the age of 39.\"",
