Yamamoto published her first short story,, in 1948, and then left journalism to pursue writing full-time. Her writing explored topics related to the intersection of gender, race, and ethnicity, and her work was influenced by the adversity she overcame at the prison camp.
Yamamoto remained a life-long advocate in the fight against war, racism, and violence. She wrote:"Painfully, in the two to three years of my employment, I came to realize that our internment was a trifle compared to the two hundred years or so of enslavement and prejudice that others in this country were heir to."
In 1986, Yamamoto's storytelling won the Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award for Lifetime Achievement for her contributions to American multicultural literature. She died in 2011 aged 89.
