Nearly 75 years ago, Giichi Matsumura left the grounds of the Manzanar War Relocation Center in California with a group of fishermen who had set out for the lakes of the Sierra Nevada. After a few days, Mr. Matsumura, 46, broke off from the group to paint and sketch. When it subsided, the fishermen went looking for Mr. Matsumura. His body was found a month later, near a lake on Mount Williamson, California’s second-highest peak. On Friday, officials from the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office and the Manzanar National Historic Site confirmed in a statement that the remains belonged to Mr. Matsumura.
