Yoshiro Hashimoto (1886-1941) was born in Tochikiken, Japan, attended Meiji University in Tokyo, graduated with engineering degree before moving to USA in 1922. There he found a floral business ‘United Florists’ on 2037 Fillmore st., later moving to 309 Mason St. He got married in 1926 to Sumiye and the couple had two children together, Aiko and Kuniko. The business was growing, catering mostly to Japanese community of the city (however the non-immigrant customers are mentioned in present archive, as well as the Philippine customers of Fillmore district).

On 7th of September Yoshiro suddenly was taken to hospital and died one month later. His funeral held on 10th of October, 1941. Sumiye ran the business on her own for the next 2 months, on 8th of December, 1941 she closed the shop and was under the impression, that FBI ordered her to give up the keys to the building. In the end she was able to operate her business from Japantown until March, 1942, with some limitations: in one document in the archive she recalls inability to go and see the customer at St.Francis hotel, citing the ban on travel beyond Van Ness Ave. In the summer of 1942 Sumiye was sent to Heart Mountain via  Pomona Assembly Center. The archive includes photos from the camp, correspondence received and sent by Sumiye to her relatives, camp administration and her insurance agent. In camp Sumiye apparently didn’t receive the medical help for her health condition, according to the documents in the archive.

Sumiye, Aiko and Kuniko (since 1945 they started to use the names Alice and Mary) have returned to San Francisco.

All of Sumiye’s possessions both her from her business and her household were either stolen or damaged beyond repair in her absence. The archive includes the inventory of assets lost, together with Sumiye’s comments.

Sumiye was not working for 2 years, before re-opening United Florists in 1951, also working part-time at  International Institute (1860 Washington St) (the International Institute of San Francisco was a charter member of the Community Chest (later becoming part of the United Way). She acme a US citizen in 1953.

The above description of Hashimoto biographies was done using solely documents from the present archive. 

The archive includes: 

Notebooks & Manuscripts (altogether 255 handwritten pages): 

— Handwritten list of property.[11] p. 8,5 x 11 in. Pinned with with a mother-of-pearl pin. In Japanese. With English typescript translation. 

The list includes the purchase price for each item and the value as of 1942. 
First part of the list includes what was owned by United Florists, stored at 650 Kearney st. and subsequently lost during the years, when Sumiye was interned in Wyoming. 
The list is the inventory of the floral shop as of late 1941, when the business was grounded to a halt by the war. It details all the vases, Japanese, Chinese and German, office supplies, ribbons, Japanese plants (with remark that they were stored with friends and dried up due to inexperienced care). Accounts receivable at the end of this section give names and business relationships with customers, for example: ‘Aki Hotel. $15 on flowers sent, requested payments about Jan.1942, Mes.Aki refused me payment stating she knows nothing about the business and I would have to wait till her husband returned from internment camp’.; ‘Aso Sanzo, manager at Nippon Hotel. About $100 for flowers delivered. He was interned 12/7/1949 and has since been deported to Japan. Whereabouts unknown’. ‘Mitsubishi. About $50 for flowers delivered. Closed with outbreak of war, employees deported cannot obtain payments’, ‘About 17 or 18 Philipine customers $100. One of these was chief waiter at Mssajin, so I went to request payment and told he was at St.Francis hotel, but with travel restrictions on our travel beyond Van Ness Avenue I was unable to go and see him. Requested payments of those living in the Fillmore are, but was refused of payment or could not collect in time before evacuation’. Total loses for United Florists stated as over $4000.
Second part of the list describes the household items left at home. 
It starts with the explanation, that at the boarded hime at 1671 Post Street, where Hashimoto family lived everything was left as is in time of evacuation. Sumiye asked WRA agents to examine the house in 1943, and received a reply, that everything was intact. In April, 1945 Sumiye, worried, that there are rumors that there were a lot of cases of theft from vacant houses  of American Japanese in San Francisco, asked her friend Rev. John Zimmerman (1801 Octavia St) check over her things, and she received a reply on 18th of May, that everything was gone. 
The list of items include the year of purchase,  printed paid and value (less, due to depreciation). The list has a separate section on things of ‘Family heir-loom, brought from Japan’, including ‘No’ dance figurines, antique ‘Okina’, two sets of ‘kaiseki-zen’, ‘osakazuki’ set, ‘Gifu’ lantern, two Inchmatsu dolls etc. The list of items bought in US include the items, manufactured by Japanese American community, like ‘Table for plants (7 shelves), made by Wakasa, Japanese Zabuton, shakuhachi bamboo flutes. On books Sumiye wrote: ‘Approximately 90 to 100 previous books. My husband was an Meiji grad., in the US attended Stanford and some law college, was interested in French literature’. This is one section Sumiye was not sure about price and value, writing ‘Do not know, probably worth $600 or more’. 
American items include Shirley Temple dolls, Christmas ornaments, toy piano and xylophone, records, tennis rackets etc. 
Total loses of household items stated as over $2000.
Then two short lists of forced abandoned items and expenses incurred incident to evacuation are listed. The list of insurance premiums to Hiko Hashimoto Insurance policy are listed. 
Total loses for Hashimoto family due to Evacuation stated as $2799.55

Together with: 
— Manuscript draft leaf of calculations for the list above. [2] p. 6,5 x 5 in. 

Together with:
— 1 typewritten page of explanations how the property was stored and damaged. 

In this page Sumiye recalls the sudden death of her husband on 7th of October, 1941, two months of her running the United Florist aline, on 8th of December ‘I heard of Pearl Harbor, became frightened, closed the shop… However, as I was in custom of delivering roses to the 9th of each month to the house of Kawabata’s, I sent Mary Fukui (aged 27 then) to the shop… At the shop, the man came saying that he was from the FBI demanding entrance into the shop for inspection purposes. He demanded from her keys and books. Mary got frightened and ran home too..’
After that Sumiye went to FBI headquarters and asked the permission to enter the shop, where she was told no agent was assigned to go into the shop, she went to check on the shop and found cash register emptied, as well as records of accounts receivable and some equipment. FBI was asked to look into it, but the imposter was never found. 
Upon leaving to Wyoming Sumiye agreed to store her commercial property in the basement of 560 Kearney St., in the Pacific Dry Goods shop with Mr.Yukichi Sakai. When she was away the building was sold and Sakai was asked to move out. Sumiye’s friend rev. John Zimmerman tried to recover the property from the new owners, but was denied access, however by 1943 WRA agreed to store commercial property of the interned in their warehouse in Montara, CA.
Upon return from Wyoming Sumiye opened the boxes from Montara and found that ‘most of the items were damaged beyond the repair’. 
This led to Sumiye asking for reimburse her for the items lost and damaged from her home and the shop and the creation of this list.
