THE TOYO SUYEMOTO PAPERS: A GUIDE
SPEC.CMS.161

(Compiled by Maureen H. Donovan and Shelley Bloom in 2006)

INTR0DUCTI0N

Toyo Suyemoto was born on January 14, 1916 in Oroville, California, the oldest of eleven children, to Tsutomu Howard Suyemoto (d.1959) and Mitsu Hyakusoku Suyemoto (d. 1950).  She died on December 30, 2003 at her home in Columbus, Ohio.

Toyo grew up in Sacramento, where she attended school through junior college.  Her family then moved to Berkeley, where she studied at the University of California, earning a B.A. in 1937 (with majors in Latin and English) and continuing with graduate work in English during 1937 to 1941.

Starting in the 1930s and continuing throughout her life, Toyo wrote poems and essays extensively, with her published works appearing primarily in Japanese American newspapers, magazines, and anthologies.  As a student at Berkeley, she wrote an unpublished paper discussing the Japanese American literary scene of the time (January, 1934) (Folder 96).  Among the poets discussed was her future husband, Iwao Kawakami, a poet and Nisei newspaperman whom she had met not long before, when she applied for membership in a newspaper for which he served as editor.  Against the wishes of her parents, she became romantically involved with Iwao, who was married at the time. (Folder 413 has some early love letters, along with photos of Iwao.)  Following his divorce, they married in 1941 and had a son, Kay, who was born on October 13, 1941.  Toyo and Iwao separated on Christmas Eve in 1941 (with a divorce following in 1951).  Although Toyo’s publications came out mainly under her maiden name of Suyemoto, she continued to use her married name of Kawakami socially throughout her life.

Toyo and Kay moved back with her family in Berkeley (where the family had relocated in about 1937) after she left Iwao.  The Suyemoto family entered the Tanforan Assembly Center (San Bruno CA) on April 27, 1942, in compliance with Executive Order 9066, requiring the internment of all Japanese Americans living in and near the West Coast.  Tanforan was a race track where the Suyemotos were housed in whitewashed horse stalls.  While at Tanforan, the infant Kay became sick due to the harsh conditions, and was taken from the camp to be hospitalized briefly. The family was relocated on October 3, 1942 to the Central Utah Relocation Center (Topaz) where they were interned for three years, leaving on October 23, 1945.  During the camp years, Toyo taught English and Latin in high school and served as librarian at the Topaz Public Library.  After release, the Suyemoto family moved to Cincinnati, where Toyo worked as a librarian for the Cincinnati Art Museum and later at the University of Cincinnati.  Tragically, Kay Kawakami died on August 7, 1958 from complications of allergies.  Toyo earned a masters degree in library science at University of Michigan, and from 1964 worked at the Ohio State University Libraries, where she was Head of the Social Work Library and Assistant Head of the Education Library.  At Ohio State, Toyo was known affectionately as “Mrs. K.” She retired after 21 years of service in 1985 with the rank of Associate Professor.

Toyo Suyemoto’s papers document her personal experiences and those of her family members, the internment experience, life at Tanforan and Topaz, the movement for redress, and other matters related to Japanese Americans, while her poetry notebooks, diaries, and correspondence with poets, writers, and artists document her artistic life.  Prominent among the papers are typescripts of many presentations that Toyo made to college and high school classes, community groups, and others narrating her internment experience, as well as newspaper articles about her.

Complementing journal issues and anthologies that include her published poems and essays are her original scrapbook collections of newspaper clippings of early writings as well as photocopies of them (Folders 102-103, 127-130, and Box 43). A complete photocopy of Current Life, the Magazine for the American Born Japanese, for which she was a regular contributor, is also included.   Drafts of her unpublished collection of selected poems, “How Small a Whisper: Poems,” are included (see especially folders 107, 112, 189, 310).  Drafts of her memoirs, with working titles of “I Call to Remembrance” and “Time Disrupted,” are also among the papers (see especially folders 88, 192, 311).

Toyo maintained correspondence with other poets throughout her life, most notably Will C. Jumper, a friend and fellow poet who became Professor of English at Iowa State University and was the author of From Time Remembered (El Dorado Hills, Calif.: Foothills Press, 1977). (See especially Folders 93, 97, 276-281, but note that other letters and other materials by or about Will are spread throughout the papers, especially in folders of correspondence.)  The papers include correspondence with artists Masumi Hayashi, Keiko Minami, Mine Okubo, and Julian Stanczak, and with many Asian American writers.
This collection was donated by John Howard Kidd, Toyo’s nephew, and presented to the Libraries by James R. Bailey, executor of Toyo’s estate, who also donated some materials.   In addition, Mr. Kidd donated Toyo’s personal book collection, which has been added to the circulating collections of the Libraries.
