The kanji given in the directory for the first name is slightly different than the
one inputted but it is the closest looking one that could be found. However,
the reading is different than what is probably the person's name because the phone
number and address match with a Mrs. Tomiko Aoyama from the English directory.

Also, in the English Directory there is a buddhist temple listed at this address,

to their meanings (light, forest, open, doctrine, and use). However, 寺 is not present which argues against this being a temple.

Yamato Kamabotsu Store

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.
