| Contextual Notes | Fhoki Kayamori, who was born in Tokyo in 1877, arrived in Yakutat in 1912 as a seasonal worker at the Libby McNeil cannery. He decided to make his home in Yakutat and eventualy became a watchman and a customer service clerk at the cannery's store. A confirmed bachelor, Kayamori led a quiet and private life and turned to photography as an avocation. When the U.S. began the relocation of Japanese Americans in 1941 Kayamori became distressed and committed suicide at his home. His collection of approximately 700 photographs was preserved and donated to the Alaska State Library in 1976. [Source: Spartz, I. and Inouye, R. (1991).
