The collection documents multiple generations of the Sakai, Kozawa, Kawakami, and related families primarily in the Los Angeles area from approximately 1890 to 2017 and the family business, Tokio Florist. Family papers contain correspondence, notebooks, property and other records, publications, ephemera, and artifacts. Also present are business records, architectural drawings, and other material related to Tokio Florist, especially at its Hyperion Avenue location, and other family floral business locations in Los Angeles. The collection contains extensive photographic material, including photo albums, snapshots, formal studio portraits, and panoramic photographs. Some correspondence, publications, and photographs document various family members' experiences while incarcerated at the Manzanar War Relocation Center during World War II. Family papers and photographs also pertain to extended family in and visits to Japan.
