A photo from the May 1925 issue of Kyōdan Jihō, showing Bishop Imamura in a dark suit, Rev. Dorothy Hunt in a white dress, Rev. Ernest Hunt in a light suit with a bow tie, and Rev. Kirby crossing his arms while wearing a light suit and necktie. The Japanese caption says they are the Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii English Teaching Division, while the English caption gives their names (with a typo accidentally identifying Dorothy Hunt as "Rev. P. Hunt")

A milestone in Buddhist history: the announcement of the ordination of Dorothy Hunt, the first woman ordained as a Buddhist nun in the United States. The ordination was performed at Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin by Jodo Shinshu bishop Yemyo Imamura on July 24, 1924.

The announcement is from the August 1924 issue of Kyōdan Jihō, the monthly newsletter of the Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii.
