Overview of the Collection
Biographical NoteLittle is known about Tokichi Okazaki. Judging from the papers, he was a resident in Seattle and Pasco, Washington between 1900 and 1930. He appears to have been an employee of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Content DescriptionThe papers of Tokichi Okazaki principally consist of his incoming correspondence, in Japanese. The content of the letters deal with everyday happenings in Japan. Names of addressers are Tokujiro Okazaki, Mitsu Okazaki, Toshiko Okazaki and others. The relationships between them are hard to identify, except in the case of Toshiki, a daughter of Tokichi Okazaki. The others can be assumed to be brothers or other close relatives of Tokishi Okazaki. There are also a few miscellaneous papers concerning Japanese associations in the U. S. such as Japanese Association of Northern America, Japanese Buddhist Association, Oregon, and Japanese Baptist Church, Seattle. Use of the Collection
