Yasuhiro Ishimoto ( June 14, 1921 – February 6, 2012) was a Japanese-American photographer. His decades-long career explored expressions of modernist design in traditional architecture, the quiet anxieties of urban life in Tokyo and Chicago, and the camera's capacity to bring out the abstract in the everyday and seemingly concrete fixtures of the world around him.
Early life
Ishimoto was born on June 14, 1921, in San Francisco, California, to Ishimoto Toma and Yoshine, who both hailed from Takaoka-cho, or present-day Tosa, in Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. His father had come to the U.S. in 1904 at the age of 17 seeking agricultural work, eventually finding success as a salt farmer in California. In 1924, the family left the United States and returned to his parents' hometown in Kochi. Ishimoto attended Nada Narukawa Elementary School (now Tosa City Takaoka Daini Elementary School) and Kōchi Agricultural High School, where he was a competitive middle- and long-distance runner and participated in races at the national level at Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium.[4]: 22, 251
After graduating from high school, he returned to the United States in 1939 to study modern agricultural methods at the behest of his parents and teachers.[4]: 251 Ishimoto first lived with a Japanese farmer friend of his father, before moving in with an American family in Oakland, California and attending an elementary school to learn English.[4]: 251 He continued to study at Washington Union High School in Fremont and San Jose Junior College (now San Jose City College), while working on a farm over the summers. In January 1942, he enrolled in the University of California, Berkeley, School of Agriculture (now the University of California, Davis).[4]: 251 His studies were cut short, however, as the war in the Pacific quickly escalated. On February 19, 1942, president Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, authorizing the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans across the west coast.
