Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. First Edition. A major photo-illustrated book from the lens of Toyo Miyatake, perhaps the most acclaimed Japanese American photographer of his generation. Miyatake is credited as photographer (????) on the colophon and many, if not most, of the uncredited photographs of the Japanese community in Los Angeles are likely his work. Miyatake studied with Edward Weston and opened his own studio the year this book was published. When he was interned at Manzanar, he smuggled in a lens and other parts and fashioned a homemade camera, surreptitiously photographing the camp, contrary to the rules. Weston helped him obtain a proper camera. Miyatake is best known for that body of work. Miyatake photographed groups of people and organization members. He also captured moments of Japanese American life in Los Angeles: a baseball game; a dramatic theatrical scene; a building adorned with many Japanese and American flags; scenes of young Japanese Christian women raising money on the streets of downtown Los Angeles; and scenes inside the editorial department of the Japanese Daily News. This printed photo album commemorates the Los Angeles area fundraising efforts to provide relief for the 1923 Kanto earthquake, which destroyed Tokyo and Yokohama and left 100,000 people dead. The first 20-odd pages of this album are devoted to before and after images in Japan. The next forty pages are devoted to fundraising events held in Los Angeles's Japantown. The events included music, theater, and dance performances, as well as a bazaar. Typical of such books, the final section is devoted to some forty pages of ads from Japanese American businesses as well as nearly 400 individual contributors, listed by name and their home village in Japan.

Miytake's work was exhibited prior to World War II, including an award at the 1926 London International Photography Exhibition.

In addition to running a formal portrait studio and documenting gatherings like the one shown in this photo, Kamiyama's work was exhibited all over the world prior to World War II. At the start of the war, he was arrested on suspicion of espionage and was imprisoned until he was released to the internment camp at Rohwer where he was reunited with his family. After the war he continued to chronicle the lives of Central Valley families. 11th Annual National Nisei V.F.W. Reunion February 17, 18, 19 1961. Disneyland Hotel. 10" x 24".
