Letter from Y. Fujii to Mr. and Mrs. S. Okine, May 24, 1947 [in Japanese]
No full textA letter from Yosokichi Fujii, a former incarceree in the Heart Mountain incarceration camp, Wyoming, to Seiichi and Tomeyo Okine. He gives an update of his life after leaving the camp in September 1945 and resettling in Nyssa, Oregon until May 1946. He currently works in Penryn, California in fruit production following his friends' suggestion. He intended to go back to Oregon, but has stayed in California. Fujii’s first son and fourth son, Katsumi, in Oregon will join him in California in August or September. They plan to start a new business together. He states that he is not going back to Japan in the future and has decided to stay in the U.S. The backside of the envelope includes the handwritten notes in Japanese.The Okine Collection contains materials collected by Seiichi and Tomeyo Okine who were Issei flower growers in Whittier, California. It includes correspondence, photographs, financial documents, and a photo album. A large portion of the collection consists of family correspondence with Seiichi and Tomeyo Okine, including letters from their Nisei children, Masao and Makoto Okine, both soldiers overseas during World War II, to their Issei parents incarcerated in the Rohwer incarceration camp in McGehee, Arkansas. The correspondence also includes letters from their relatives and friends who are former incarcerees in the camps during the war and have “resettled” in Chicago, Illinois as well as letters from the Okines’ family members in Hiroshima, Japan during the Allied occupation of Japan. In addition, the collection includes a family photo album compiled by Dorothy Ai Aoki, a Nisei daughter to the Okines

Hosta scabrinervia scabrinervia from var. Hosta scabrinervia densinervia by the papillose lower surface of the lateral veins, but some plants of the type locality population have smooth lower lateral vein surfaces. Morphologically, <i>H. scabrinervia</i> is similar to H. tardiva subsp. densinervia but distinguished by the flowering season (July in contrast to August to September in the latter) and anther length (3 mm long vs. 5 mm long). The specimens collected from Kogane Waterfall (JPN15231, etc.) have exceptionally long pedicels (2.9-3.4 cm long), compared to 2-2.7 cm in other specimens. In this aspect, they are similar to <i>H. longipedicellata</i>, but can be distinguished by their flower bracts which remain fresh during flowering (unlike the withering flower bracts of <i>H. longipedicellata</i>). In the original description of H. kikutii var. scabrinervia, Fujita and Tamura (2008) cited specimens from Ehime and Kochi Prefectures, but further studies combining molecular analyses with subsequent morphological observations are required to confirm their identities. As far as examined, the range of <i>H. scabrinervia</i> is restricted to a narrow region in the middle reach of Yoshino River (Fig. 7).</p>Published as part of <i>Yahara, Tetsukazu, Hirota, Shun K., Fujii, Seiko, Kokami, Yasushi, Fuse, Kengo, Sato, Hiroyuki, Tagane, Shuichiro & Suyama, Yoshihisa, 2023, Molecular phylogeny and taxonomy of Hosta (Asparagaceae) on Shikoku Island, Japan, including five new species, one new subspecies, and two new status assignments, pp. 137-187 in PhytoKeys 235</i> on page 137, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.235.9914
