Photograph album compiled by Sargent Ken Okumura of California. The album contains multiple images of Okumura in his U.S. Army uniform at Camp Roberts. It also contains photos of Japanese American families, presumably Okumura's family and friends, hiking, picnicking, attending various social events, and taking road trips to Yosemite and Lake Tahoe, as well as posing in front of their homes, some in traditional Japanese kimonos. Toward the end of the album is a series of images of Japanese Americans preparing to leave for the Topaz Internment Camp in 1942; the Topaz camp, now known as the Central Utah Relocation Center, is shown in a few photographs.
