		  Toyono Kushi. He immigrated to Washington State in 1904, where his older
		  brother Toyosuke had already settled in the Tacoma area. Tanejiro married
		  Katsuno Inouye on March 2, 1926, and Toyosuke married Katsuno's sister, Harue,
		  on January 23, 1930. Though initially a cannery foreman at the Lummi Bay
		  Packing Company on Lummi Island, Tanejiro eventually started a soy sauce
		  business with his brother on Seattle's 5th Avenue in 1930. This venture was
		  followed by a miso business - again, with Toyosuke as a partner - on East
		  Marginal Way in Seattle in 1936.</p><p>Tanejiro Kushi died on July 10, 1938, and Katsuno ultimately remarried
		  Genji Mihara on May 24, 1940. Toyosuke, Harue, and Katsuno were also in the
		  process of obtaining U.S. citizenship at this time. In 1940, Toyosuke ran the
		  family business under the name Coast Food Products. This business was
		  subsequently operated by Shigeio Kushi and Tomijiro Kushi in 1942, and by 1943,
		  the business had disappeared - presumably due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor
		  and the subsequent internment of Japanese in America. Genji was sent to Fort
		  Missoula Internment Camp in Montana in 1942, and Katsuno was sent to Minidoka
		  in Idaho soon thereafter.</p><p>Tanejiro and Katsuno Kushi had an adopted daughter, Mamie, who was
		  born in 1916. Mamie married Masahiro Mukai of the Mukai Cold Process Fruit
		  Barreling Plant on Vashon Island on August 21, 1933. The couple had one son,
		  Milton, in 1934, and were divorced the following year.</p></bioghist><scopecontent encodinganalog="5202_" id="a3"><p>The collection consists of home movies created by the Kushi family to
		  document family and community events, such as marriages, graduations, and local
		  festivals. These films also record the travels of the Kushi family, both within
		  the United States and in Japan. Among the footage are views of the Mukai
		  residence and the Mukai Cold Process Fruit Barreling Plant on Vashon Island
		  which is now being restored as a historical Japanese garden site. There are
		  also views of the Seattle waterfront and other areas of Seattle.</p></scopecontent><arrangement><p>Arranged in 3 series.</p><p><list type="simple"><item>American Films</item><item>Japanese Films</item><item>Commercial Films</item></list></p></arrangement><odd encodinganalog="500" id="a5"><p>Individual film titles have been derived from canister, box, and reel
