Re/Collecting Project Archive

Description

The Re/Collecting Project (Re/Co for short) is an 'ethnic studies memory project of California's Central Coast.' The project's aim is to digitally capture and make publicly accessible the rich history of the diverse - yet under-documented - communities of the region, which includes San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara counties. To collect the materials that make up these histories, the project would organize 'Re/Collecting Days', and make house calls, where the project team would invite families and individuals to recollect their stories as well as to participate in collecting their story materials (images, documents, mementos) for digital preservation and access. The digital collection available on this site is only a selection of the Re/Collecting Project Archive. Learn more about the archive at: https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/c8qc09ph/

A notice from Chizuko Iwanaga to Ken Kitasako that U.S. customs cleared the shipment of the Obutsudan for the San Luis Obispo Buddhist Church. As the letter states, "I am very happy to inform you that the Bill of Lading finally came, and your Obutsudan shipments have all been cleared through Customs and are already enroute via Pacific Motor Transport. / Through the efforts of Mr. Charles Yonezu, everything was cleared without any custom duties. According to U.S. Custom Regulations, the Obutsudan is duty-free, but all accessories as listed in your invoice are dutiable. But through his many direct contacts with the two Customs Inspectors and after much difficulties, they were passed with no custom duties. Otherwise, the custom duties would have been quite high. / The $12.80 on the bill enclosed is a bottle of whiskey each to the two Custom Inspectors. The brokerage charge of $10.50 has been cut to half of the regular fee. / I feel that a letter of thanks to Mr. Charles Yonezu will be greatly appreciated. / With many best wishes on your NYUBUTSUSHIKI, I wish to remain / Yours truly in Gassho, [signed]".
