These photographs relate to the controversial trial and conviction of Japanese American Iva Ikuko Toguri D'Aquino, identified by the U.S. Government as one of the women known as "Tokyo Rose" who were retained by the Government of Japan to make radio broadcasts of music and commentary to U.S. military personnel serving in the World War II Pacific Theater.
These mug shots were taken at Sugamo Prison on March 7, 1946. The captions on the reverse of both photographs state "Captain Denton took me to Iva Toguri's house and made her wear the light tan coat and had her put on her rimless glasses. I recognized her as the same girl who broadcast on the Zero Hour program. (Signed) Emi Matsuda."
This primary source comes from the Records of U.S. Attorneys.
