Album contains photographs and related material documenting the experiences and coming-of-age of a Japanese-American woman from Los Angeles, California serving at the San Shin PX in Tokyo during the postwar American occupation of Japan, presumably as a WAAC or as one of the small group of Nisei men and women recruited into service by the U.S. military at the time. Alice Sakiko Arikawa, later Alice Arikawa Presnell, was a diligent and outgoing explorer of her life and surroundings. Her photographs document everything from the Tokyo flood of 1947, to her daily experiences in the PX, her travels, the women who served, and her romance with "Chief" Presnell. Arikawa was interned from June 1942 to 1943 March at the Manzanar War Relocation Center, adding further dimension to her later service for the U.S. in Japan.
