Government documents reveal Shodo Umehara's repeated requests for transfer to a family internment camp or a War Relocation Authority camp in order to be reunited with his wife, Toshi. Umehara was finally paroled to Jerome in spring 1944 and the couple were reunited there. They were then transferred to Tule Lake, where Toshi Umehara died in September 1945, shortly after the end of the war. 

After his release from confinement, Shodo Umehara returned to the islands and continued his work as a priest of the Hongwanji Mission.
