An Imperial Valley native who was incarcerated at Poston, Ariz., during WWII, Yamauchi was a noted playwright best known for such works as “And the Soul Shall Dance” and “12-1-A.” She was also a poet, short-story writer and painter whose works have been published in “Songs My Mother Taught Me” (1994) and “Rosebud and Other Stories” (2010).
She was one of three female artists profiled in “Words, Weavings and Songs,” a 2002 documentary produced by JANM’s Frank H. Watase Media Arts Center, and donated her papers to the museum in 1999 and 2007.
Yamauchi, who lived in Gardena, passed away on Aug. 16. She would have turned 94 on Oct. 24.
