Hotoku Inafuku photograph album

Visual Materials

This photograph album documents the Inafuku family's life in Hawai'i. The album was presumably compiled by Hotoku Inafuku, who took many of the photographs as well as wrote the captions in the album. The photographs depict Hotoku, his wife Lillian, their children, extended family, and friends. Hotoku and Lillian seem to have three or four children whose names might be Hide, Donald "Yoshio", Caroline, and Lorraine. The photographs depict family portraits, social activities, school related meetings and activities, scenic views around Hawai'i, sugarcane and pineapple fields, and views of the family's garden and numerous orchid plants. Hawaiian locations across multiple islands are represented and include but are not limited to Honolulu, Panalu'u Valley, Kahuku, L+huʻe, Waimea, Mauna Kea, Hilo, Kekaha, Hα'ena. Additionally, there are a few images captured in Osaka and Nago, Japan. Also included are four images of newspaper pages from 1941 announcing Japan's entry into World War II. The album contains 387 photographs and photographic postcards.
