This Oct. 22, 2019, photo photo shows a gravestone in Woodlawn Cemetery in Santa Monica, Calif., that commemorates the death of Giichi Matsumura, who died in the Sierra Nevada while he was at the Japanese internment camp at Manzanar. A skeleton found by hikers this fall near California's second-highest peak was identified Friday, Jan. 3, 2020, as Matsumura, a Japanese American artist who had left the Manzanar internment camp to paint in the mountains in the waning days of World War II.
