山登 カマボツ店
Kamabotsu is not a Japanese word but at the moment I am not able to determine its meaning. Also, in the BC Yukon Directory 1941 under this address only vacant is listed. It would be interesting to find out when the two directories were created to determine if the resident was removed from the area or simply moved in to the area.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
