This series contains a wide variety of photographs from Kenzo Koike before, during, and after World War II. The photographs depict life for a Japanese American before the war, showing time at summer camps and his house in Seattle, Washington. Some photographs show Heart Mountain Internment Center in Wyoming and the life created during the time of Japanese American internment. In addition, many photographs demonstrate Koike’s time in Japan as a member of the United States Army after World War II. Photographs depict post-bombing locations, people in traditional Japanese dress, relatives of Kenzo Koike, and everyday life in Japan after World War II.
