Kimi Album (1903-1942)
Description
This album was created by Karen Tei Yamashita after Tomi's death in 1970s. Karen 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 Tomi and Kishiro's first child Kimi, her childhood, adolescence in Japan where she was raised by her maternal grandparents in Tokyo and her return to Oakland to get married.

Other collections in the Yamashita Family Archive include albums that were created contemporaneously to the images of the period. For example, see the album created by Kimi and Bob Ono here.
