1946rif. 230681946. Japanese-American Women's Education Postwar Hawaiʻi identified Japanese-American university school girl's photo album. Oʻahu Territory of Hawaiʻi 1946-1950 spanning the years right after World War II. Approximately 260 silver gelatin photographs documenting the daily life friendships education and civic participation of a Japanese American young woman living on Oʻahu in the immediate postwar period. The photographs are mounted in a 9" x 11" woven album with photos cornered in on black board pages. Images range from small snapshot-format prints to larger horizontal photographs. Following Pearl Harbor Hawaii was initially considered a war zone and the Japanese Americans there were subject to heavy surveillance and civil rights violations until the war ended in 1945. This album ranges 1946 to circa 1950 with one loose photograph predating the album by approximately a decade likely depicting the compiler as a child. The compiler is identified by name in captions as Reiko who also went by "Rei" Reiko was a Japanese American college student and Pre-Med Club member residing on Oʻahu. This substantial and unusually well-captioned album offers a deeply personal record of Japanese American civilian life in Hawaiʻi following the end of World War II and the lifting of martial law. The first third of the album features extensive handwritten captions frequently identifying individuals locations and events while the latter portion contains fewer annotations but continues the visual narrative of family friendship and place. Reiko's life is documented across academic social and community spheres depicting college friendships Pre-Med Club activities leisure outings and participation in Laulima a Hawaiian community support organization emphasizing mutual aid and collective responsibility. Numerous images record friendships among young women posed confidently in dresses skirts slacks and swimsuits as well as traditional Japanese dress and Hawaiian dress and leis showcasing cross-cultural identity. Family life appears alongside repeated photographs of Lorraine Nakamuta age 2½ likely a relative shown in candid domestic and outdoor scenes some in western attire and a few photos playfully dancing in a straw hula skirt. The album also serves as a visual geographic survey of mid-century Hawaiʻi with identified sites including Halemaʻumaʻu Crater sugar cane fields irrigation infrastructure such as a wooden pipe transporting water Robert Louis Stevenson's hut beaches valleys and residential neighborhoods. Public and civic life figure prominently. Several sequences document an Hawaiian beauty pageant as well as floats marching bands and crowds celebrating the Philippine Islands Independence Day Parade July 4 1946 Honolulu situating Japanese American life within Hawaiʻi's broader multiethnic and postcolonial Pacific context. These images underscore the reemergence of public celebration and civic participation after wartime restriction while highlighting interethnic solidarity and shared urban space. Taken together the album constitutes a rare large-scale vernacular record of Japanese American womanhood education and community engagement during the transitional years between World War II and Hawaiʻi's statehood era. The album remains intact and structurally sound with thick board pages and photographs securely attached using original corner mounts. A few photos loose. Minor age-related wear is present including light scuffing to covers. Handwritten captions remain largely legible throughout. Overall very good condition. This album is an exceptional primary-source document for institutional collections offering sustained visual evidence of Japanese American youth culture women's education in the sciences and everyday resilience in postwar Hawaiʻi enriched by named individuals identified locations and detailed contemporaneous annotations. unknown

1930rif. 62840Hawaii mostly Honolulu. ca. 1930s. Pre-WWII Hawaiian Photos and Postcards in a Traditional Hawaiian Cloth Binding An attractive album of original photographs and photographic postcards from 1930s Hawaii bound in traditional patterned Hawaiian tapa or kapa cloth. The photographs a handful of which are briefly captioned in manuscript on the verso depict a variety of scenes both natural and urban mostly in and around Honolulu. Some of the original photos include general street scenes of the town several photos of American servicemen at the "Army and Navy Y.M.C.A." Honolulu's famous palace-turned-courthouse Ali'iolani Hale and the most recent building for the city's longstanding and highly influential Central Union Church completed in 1924. The postcards mostly with the logo "KH Ltd." and often captioned in the negative depict various tourist attractions like Diamond Head and the Moanalua gardens and activities such as hula dancing surfing and shark fishing. One postcard captioned "H 152 China Clipper Ship – Pearl Harbor Oahu" shows an image of an amphibious plane resting in the harbor while American military planes fly overhead. By the 1930s the practice of making tapa fabric was beginning to wane; it was primarily seen as an emblem of traditional Hawaiian culture and so would have been an attractive choice for such a souvenir album. An appealing collection of pre-World War II Hawaiian images in an attractive tapa cloth binding. Oblong tapa cloth album tied with string. Light shelf wear three images loose in album. Photographs crisp and clean. Near fine. hardcover

1928rif. 12860Various locations in Hawaii and Japan 1928. 12 leaves illustrated with 123 mounted sepia-toned photographs many captioned in the image area occasional manuscript captions on the album leaves. Oblong folio. Contemporary pictorial cloth illustrated with various Japanese motifs string tied. Minor wear to cloth. Internally clean. Very good. An attractive and informative vernacular photograph album memorializing the experiences of Protestant missionaries in the Pacific. Protestant missionaries came to Hawaii starting in the 1820s and eventually became quite socially and politically influential. The first Protestant missionaries arrived in Japan in the mid-1840s. They were relegated to treaty ports and prohibited from proselytizing but once these restrictions were lifted they were fairly successful with 300 churches and 34000 converts by 1889. Their main avenue was education and by the 1920s they were well established in this sector. The present album of photographs were taken by an American missionary in Hawaii and Japan in 1927 and 1928. It is not entirely clear whether the photographer did any missionary work in Hawaii or if it was just a stop on the way to Japan; the photos from Hawaii show Honolulu harbor from the deck of the President Madison the "Club House" and Diamond Head. The photographs from Japan are more clearly missionary. The photographer was involved in teaching in Kyoto; captions include "Kami Kyoku Bishamon Cho" listed as a theological school in the 1928 Japan Mission Year Book "Japanese Language School" "The Faculty" "Nihongo Faculty" and "St Agnes Ena -- Music." There are two St. Agneses in the Year Book both middle schools one in Tokyo and one in Kyoto. Two photos of an older Japanese man in a clerical collar captioned "Mr Hayakawa" suggest this is the St. Agnes in Kyoto as Mr. K. Hayakawa is listed as the head of that school. Other individuals listed in the Year Book include Sally Rembert Thora Johnson and "Maxine" who is probably Maxine Schannep with the ABCFM. Generally the school shots are exteriors of buildings and people posing outside of them; there are also shots of Christmas trees at St. Agnes the students of "Helen’s Kindergarten" in Koriyama girls in school uniform with deer at Nara Park and several of the nurse's home at St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo. Other photos show life around Kyoto and other cities including Nikko and Fukui. Most of the men are in Western dress while the women and children wear kimono. Two photos of Buddhist monks included in the album were taken by Japanese photographer Kurokawa Suizan; these show a KomusÅ in a tengai hat playing the flute and a kasa-hatted monk on the steps of a building. Finally some uncaptioned shots show a procession taking place in front of an audience. Some in the procession carry flags a few are on horseback and a few carry plants on their heads and part of the procession carries a litter. Overall the album documents both religious education and everyday life in late 1920s Japan; of particular interest to historians of Protestant missionaries. unknown

1925rif. 239961925. U.S. Navy Pacific fleet cruise photo album documenting naval service and Indigenous encounters during Admiral Robert E. Coontz's 1925 deployment to Australia and New Zealand. The inscription "Property of J. J. Prieskop. U.S.S. Seattle band" identifies its owner as a musician associated with the fleet flagship. Following major exercises in Hawaiian waters the fleet crossed the Pacific for a voyage combining naval training with public receptions and a demonstration of American maritime reach. www.history.navy.mil At Rotorua Te Arawa hosts welcomed the visiting officers at Ohinemutu where speeches and exchanges of gifts connected MÄori hospitality with hopes for closer British-American friendship. Photo album containing approximately 260 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 2.5 x 3 to 8.5 x 5.5 inches United States and Pacific locations chiefly circa 1925 mostly mounted with corner holders on black paper leaves with numerous contemporary handwritten captions.

Samoan performers carry weapons beneath "Samoan warriors in war dance" while other scenes record sailors visiting vendors and a canoe approaching the ship. Hawaiian women perform with musicians before a commercial backdrop beneath "Hula dancers in Lahaina - 6/25." A portrait printed "'Maori' South Sea Island Belle" presents a woman holding a patu its promotional wording distinguishing commercial souvenir portraiture from the formal Rotorua reception.

1930rif. 227421930. Japanese-American Hawaii Japanese American military family photograph album 1930s documenting everyday life of a Nisei household in interwar Hawaii and tracing the transpacific connections linking Japanese American communities with Japan and Japanese occupied Manchuria. The photographs record family relationships social gatherings military friendships and overseas travel at a time when second generation Japanese Americans were negotiating identity within both American and Japanese spheres of influence. Handwritten captions written in the first person suggest the compiler was a Nisei man with associations to the United States Army referring to relatives and companions as "My father" "My sis Chiyo" and identifying a group of men in a tropical field as "China Souza Manuel myself Choy" further captioned "Army Buddies." During the 1930s Japanese Americans faced significant barriers to military advancement on the mainland United States yet Hawaii's National Guard accepted some Nisei soldiers prior to the Second World War due in part to the islands' large Japanese population. The album therefore documents a rare prewar moment when Japanese American military participation and family life intersected within the broader social landscape of Hawaii. Photo album compiled during the 1930s containing approximately 103 original silver gelatin photographs mounted to brown paper leaves and annotated in ink identifying individuals and locations. Bound in green pebbled boards titled "Photo Album" in gilt on the cover. Each photo measures approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches to 5 x 7 inches. Album measures approximately 6 x 9.5 inches. The images depict family gatherings beach excursions on Oahu graduations and informal portraits of relatives and friends. Early pages include a graduation photograph of Edna Omatsu and portraits of family members including Uneiko members of the Takayama family Jeanette Ayako and a military dressed man identified as Rob Ogawa. One family group portrait shows individuals wearing leis with the caption "Honolulu - Hakada's Departure to Japan." Several photographs document military friendships and camp environments including the previously noted "Army Buddies" image. A small sequence captioned "Manchurian Trip" records the family's travels through northern China during the period of Japanese control following the establishment of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in 1932 illustrating the mobility of Japanese diaspora families moving between Hawaii Japan and imperial territories across East Asia. Interwar Hawaii contained one of the largest Japanese populations outside Japan with Japanese immigrants and their American born children forming a substantial portion of the islands' workforce and social life during the 1930s. Album spine partially detached at front cover with wear to boards; photographs remain clean and crisp with mostly legible handwritten captions. Overall very good condition. Nisei communities balanced participation in American civic institutions with continuing family linguistic and cultural ties to Japan creating networks that stretched across the Pacific. This album documents those connections through scenes of leisure education military companionship and international travel shortly before the geopolitical tensions that culminated in the Pacific War. unknown
1930rif. 227421930. Japanese-American Hawaii Japanese American military family photograph album 1930s documenting everyday life of a Nisei household in interwar Hawaii and tracing the transpacific connections linking Japanese American communities with Japan and Japanese occupied Manchuria. The photographs record family relationships social gatherings military friendships and overseas travel at a time when second generation Japanese Americans were negotiating identity within both American and Japanese spheres of influence. Handwritten captions written in the first person suggest the compiler was a Nisei man with associations to the United States Army referring to relatives and companions as "My father" "My sis Chiyo" and identifying a group of men in a tropical field as "China Souza Manuel myself Choy" further captioned "Army Buddies." During the 1930s Japanese Americans faced significant barriers to military advancement on the mainland United States yet Hawaii's National Guard accepted some Nisei soldiers prior to the Second World War due in part to the islands' large Japanese population. The album therefore documents a rare prewar moment when Japanese American military participation and family life intersected within the broader social landscape of Hawaii.

Bound in green pebbled boards titled "Photo Album" in gilt on the cover. Each photo measures approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches to 5 x 7 inches. Album measures approximately 6 x 9.5 inches.

Early pages include a graduation photograph of Edna Omatsu and portraits of family members including Uneiko members of the Takayama family Jeanette Ayako and a military dressed man identified as Rob Ogawa.
