1947rif. 219701947. Japanese-American WWII Official yearbook of the 1947 graduating class at Punahou School in Honolulu Hawaiʻi which serves as a vivid document of postwar life in a multiracial student body that included a notable presence of Japanese American students. Bound in embossed dark blue leatherette. 8.5" x 11". Heavily illustrated. Published two years after the end of World War II this year's volume shows the continued presence and leadership of Nisei students despite the hardship faced in school years prior. With numerous signed messages by students-including Japanese American classmates such as W. Kobayashi G. Ogawa and H. Takakuwa-this volume provides rare evidence of social reintegration and interracial camaraderie in the wake of a war that saw Japanese Americans subjected to mass suspicion and surveillance across the United States. While Japanese Americans in Hawaiʻi were spared the large-scale incarceration endured by their mainland counterparts they still lived under martial law from 1941 to 1944. During this time thousands were dismissed from government jobs arrested without charge or pressured to prove loyalty-conditions that deeply affected the Nisei generation. Many of the students represented here likely had family members who served in the famed 100th Infantry Battalion or the 442nd Regimental Combat Team the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. Others may have experienced community surveillance loss of employment or restricted freedoms under Hawaiʻi's military government. In this context the 1947 Oahuan is not simply a yearbook-it is a document of recovery dignity and the quiet persistence of young Japanese Americans reclaiming space in public life through scholarship athletics and social visibility. This particular copy is especially notable for its extensive endpaper inscriptions with dozens of students having signed their names in ink making this a personalized artifact of postwar student life. The volume features photographs of senior portraits student clubs athletic teams and lively candid montages with Nisei students prominently and equitably featured. Sports team photos show a remarkable ethnic diversity with surnames like Kobayashi and Koneshige appearing beside those of white and Hawaiian students. The visual presentation echoes Hawaiʻi's unique multiracial culture and hints at the relative integration of elite schools like Punahou in contrast to the segregation typical of many mainland institutions during this era. Endpapers are completely filled with original signatures. Wear to covers with some cracking at interior hinge and one corner of the pastedown torn. Overall very good condition. A rare signed witness to Nisei perseverance in a racially stratified but uniquely hybrid territory on the cusp of statehood. unknown

1920rif. 219786Circa1920s - 1930s. Collection of twenty-six loose photographs and five postcards two in colour. Photograph sizes vary but most are 10 x 14cm a few a bit smaller. The largest photograph measures 17.1 x 27.3cm and while silvered and torn with loss at the lower left corner is a lovely period piece showing a Japanese man driving an early 20th century car and an attractively dressed western-style Japanese woman looking on. In general the photographs show signs of wear some corner tears evidence of removal from albums or silvering but are still a fascinating collection showing people at home at work or on a day out. An interesting collection of photographs and postcards mostly black-and-white with a couple of coloured postcards. They appear to come from the family album of Japanese migrants to Hawaii or California. Most date from the 1920s and 1930s although one postcard was written during a visit to Paris in the 1950s. A few have dates on the back - the oldest being a photo of a smartly-dressed Japanese couple dated 1921 it is difficult to tell whether this was taken in Japan or the USA. Two photographs dated 1929 and 1931 show a Japanese woman with her small daughter - in one image she is shown with an Anglo-European family. There a studio photograph of a Japanese man holding serious-looking photographic equipment suggesting that at least one member of the family was a keen photographer. A particularly interesting shot shows the interior of a shop evidently run by the family selling a wide range of goods from electric fans cooking utensils baskets padlocks and other items. The family seems to have prospered quite well since several photos show outings in their car and a trip to Santa Cruz and the collection also includes a postcard from the famous Hotel Wawona in Yosemite National Park California. Another postwar postcard sent from Paris to the Tsuchiya family in Numazu describes a trip from Japan where the writer apparently stayed with the Tsuchiyas to France via Switzerland. . unknown
