About this photograph
Historical portrait of Japanese-American brothers Haruo and Masaru Okino from 1924.
The photograph forms part of the Tulare County Library's local history collection. Tulare County sits in California's San Joaquin Valley, a farming region settled heavily in the later nineteenth century and dependent on irrigated agriculture. The library's photograph collection documents ordinary residents and families rather than public figures.
The record provides no information about the brothers' ages, their family's circumstances, or what brought them to California. The photographer is unknown.
The portrait was digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes material held by California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
