Leimomi Fujimoto photograph album, (bulk 1943-1948)
Visual Materials
A personal photograph album compiled by Japanese American teenager Leimomi Fujimoto, documenting her junior high and high school years in Hawaii during the World War II era. The album begins in 1943, when she is in the eighth grade, and continues through her years at St. Anthony High School, a Catholic school in Wailuku, Maui. She and her friends are seen enjoying activities such as football games, birthday parties, and beach outings, and there are many portraits of Fujimoto and her school friends. Some snapshots were taken on visits to natural landmarks and downtown buildings in the Kahului area of Maui. Throughout the album are Fujimoto's expressive handwritten captions, which include many names of people and places. There are also photographs of her family, teachers, and her future husband, Vincent "Buzz" Sills, who is named as Fujimoto's groom in a wedding announcement clipping laid in the album. Other clippings highlight Fujimoto's many social activities, such as being a song leader in high school, attending the junior prom (where she was a member of the royal court), completing a Hula dancing course, and serving as maid of honor in a wedding. The album ends around 1948, after her high school graduation, but several laid-in photographs are dated later, depicting Fujimoto's marriage and her children. Notably, the album demonstrates Fujimoto's relative freedom living under the martial law imposed on the Hawaiian Islands during World War II, in contrast to the internment of Japanese Americans in the Western United States.

Photograph album of a Japanese American soldier in the U.S. occupation forces in Japan
Visual Materials
A personal photo album compiled and annotated by a Japanese American serviceman who served in the U.S. occupation forces during the post-World War II occupation of Japan. The album begins with his departure from Hawaii to Japan in 1946, including one image of his old school, McKinley High School in Honolulu. In Tokyo, there are many photographs of fellow soldiers, as well as Japanese young men and women; buildings and landmarks; parks; and army buildings. Two images of a large building are described as General Douglas MacArthur's headquarters in Tokyo, and there is one image of him walking out of the building. Besides Tokyo, the soldier is seen in Kamakura and Otake, near Iwakuni, where he may have been stationed later. Of note are a few images of building destruction in Hiroshima, 1947, in the aftermath of the atomic bombing. At the back of the album are many single and group portraits of Japanese residents, possibly family members or acquaintances in Iwakuni and Otake. The album has handwritten captions in English, with occasional captions written in Japanese.
