baháʼí americans associated with the american occupation forces reconnected the japanese baháʼí community: they were michael jamir, lorraine wright, and robert imagire. jamir in particular undertook trips to find torii and fujita circa 1945-6. imagire arrived in 1947 and was given an address where alexander had left her printed materials. he found the only building still standing after the bombing held 200 copies of "baháʼu'lláh and the new era" in japanese. in 1948 imagire helped re-elect the assembly in tokyo. while all the japanese members were new baháʼís and eventually drifted into inactivity, the assembly was continually re-elected and remains today.
