Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Udo and Sasashima Family Papers (circa 1900-1940) includes a kensho mawashi (sumo ceremonial belt), wooden bird pins, books, and photographs related to sumo wrestling and the Sasashima and Udo family. The photographs in the collection are from sumo wrestling tournaments, photographs in Los Angeles, and family photographs of most likely Akiko with her children. The sumo wrestling photographs are most likely of her husband, Arata Sasashima. Additionally, there is one oversized photograph of an Udo family member, possibly Kichihei Udo, and a panoramic photograph of a sumo wrestling tournament in California.
