Scope and Contents

Series I: Research Files contains Yamamoto's research materials on shiatsu, macrobiotics, yoga, and alternative, non-Western healing methods. Research files consist of notebooks, conference and workshop packets, printed material, recipes, clippings, audio and video recordings. The audio and video recordings consist of commercial and non-commercial audiocassette tapes, CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes. The content of most of the audiovisual materials pertains to prominent figures within the macrobiotic and alternative medicine community such as Michio Kushi, George and Lima Ohsawa, and Louise Hay. The content of several of the VHS tapes is unknown due to lack of labels. Some of the materials in Series I are in Japanese. Materials date from 1965 to 2010.
