Title

Kishiro and Tomi Album pre-war

Description

This album was created by Karen Tei Yamashita after Tomi's death in 1970s. She put together an album of photographs in Tomi Yamashita's possession organizing the albums roughly based on each of family members. This album contains images of Kishiro and his Tailoring business in Oakland which he organized in the early 1900s, images of him and his wife Tomi and their children on outings in the early 1900s and 1910s in Oakland. The album was labelled by Karen as "Kishiro." The photographs in this collection are labelled and appear in the order that they appear in this album. Before this, they were kept in a box as separate photographs. Other collections include albums that were created in the 1920s of images of that period.
