In the letter, she describes her new job, making women's leather purses. She packs merchandise into boxes for shipping, earning 65 cents per hour. At work, there are only 12 Japanese workers and other workers are all African Americans.

His real name is Wang Zhaoming and Jingwei is his courtesy name. According to Heibonsha's encyclopedia, 'a courtesy name is a commonly used nickname. The custom of using a courtesty name when exchanging names is originally Chinese. As it is thought disrespectful to use someone's real name, people usually use courtesy names when referring to each other. When this custom entered Japan in the Heian era, the registrar of the Monjoin used the courtesy name of each student in its registry when they entered schools. Before long Confucianists came to always use this name and it effectively became their usual name. As Confucianism spread during the Tokugawa period, many came to use them.

After returning to Hiroshima to see his ailing father, Keiko's father found it impossible to return to America as his mother hid his passport to keep him in Japan. Shortly, Keiko's mother joined him in Hiroshima, also her hometown. Unlike her eight older siblings, then, Keiko was born in Japan, in 1936. She recalls the challenge of being sent to the countryside at the age of eight as part of shudan sokai, a wartime program for children aiming to protect the youth from fire bombings in cities. The food shortage and black market called yamiichi that flourished after the war, too, left Keiko a strong impression. She is a nyushi survivor, as she was exposed to radiation by walking through the city of Hiroshima three days after the bombing. She lost one of her older sisters to the bomb. She came to the United States in 1960 with a help of her US-born brother, by then living in Los Angeles. She relearned English from her father who was also back in the United States and in the area at that time. Keiko attended a technical college to study design while working as a \"schoolgirl\" and worked briefly in Beverly Hills as a dressmaker before she married Nisei from Stockton. A former prisoner of the Gila River War Relocation Center, he worked as a mechanic at Chevrolet after the war and became an owner of a car repair shop. Keiko helped the shop's book keeping, while she also raised two children and worked at a grocery store in order to pay for her health insurance. At the time of the interview, Keiko had just joined a biannual medical checkup conducted by Hiroshima physicians in San Francisco for the first time because of the encouragement by another US survivor.

She then found out that the Immigration and Naturalization Bureau did not have these documents and Mrs. Koyama had to turn back to Mrs. A.C. Goodenough to gather them up again. Mrs. Koyama heard from her husband that the Immigration and Naturalization Bureau was able to confirm his status as a legal resident due to a law from 1924. He was also able to track down the whereabouts of the stowaway. His name was Seizaburo Koyama and had returned to Japan several years prior. This was confirmed by the stowaway's brother who happened to be at the same camp as Keizaburo Koyama. After being transferred to Santa Fe, New Mexico, authorities urged Mr. Koyama to fully detail his story, which he did.

He was arrested in May of 1942, taken to jail, and eventually transferred to the Tanforan Assembly Center, California, where his family was being held. He legally challenged the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066, and his case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld the order in 1944. Following World War II, Mr. Korematsu moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he married and raised a family before returning to California. In the early 1980s, his case was reopened after the discovery of a crucial document indicating that in the original 1944 case, the federal government had lied to the high court.

Recent trade talks including Shimura meeting and Japan and Dutch East Indies meetings have been focusing on extremely low and exclusion of our cotton products. Serving as the director of the two textiles industry giants in the nation, Kanebo and Toyobo, Cotton Spinners' Association Chairman Fusajiro Abe is playing a key role as the leader of the industry. Born in 1868 in the Koshu area (Shiga prefecture), he has a former family name Tsuji. Working for a kimono fabric merchant right fter his graduation from elementary school, he spend six years until age 18 to gain trading skills. He went to Tokyo with little saving to attend Azabu Junior High School, former Tokyo Eiwa School, to study business, and moved on to attend Keio University. With a help of family business, Abe Pharmaceutical Company. Recognized as a strong business leader, he served as the senior director for Kanakin Boseki Company. Upon takeover in 1914 by Osaka Boseki Company managed by late Takeo Yamanobe, he continued to serve as a senior director. Merger with Mie Boseki Company created Toyo Boseki Company, where he continued to serve as the senior director of the operation. The textiles industry was at the lowest point before the war. Abe built firm foundation by expanding the overseas trading to India, Arab and Burma, contributing to the success of the industry currently enjoys. Promoted to be the Chief Executive Officer in 1920 and taking over the position of the late Tsunezo Saito 15 years ago, he is still serving as the Chief Officer. He also founded Showa Rayon in 1928, as well as Karafuto Kogyo Company with Heizaburo Okawa. Upon merger by Oji Paper Company, he remained as a director and a representative of the Kansai region. Abe also founded Kosho Company to expand cotton import and cotton product export, and his contribution to both textiles and paper industry of the nation is remarkable. Despite the common notion of Koshu natives as unfair business people, he is well-liked and patient. With his mild manner, confrontation is not an issue for this Koshu man. He has quiet leadership with his ability to make slow and steady progress. He was the first investor to take responsibility, compose recovery program and offer private fund when Omi Bank collapsed with frenzy economy in 1927. Displeased with the result of the Japan India Talk, Abe gave up his seat as the chairperson of Dainihon Cotton Spinners' Association Chairman, and Tsuda from Kanebo assumed the position, indicating strong leadership and trust Abe still demonstrates.\"","extent":"3W x 6H","links_children":"ddr-njpa-4-2","format":"img","language":["jpn"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Abe, Fusajiro"}],"contributor":"Hawaii Times Photo Archives Foundation","rights":"pcc","genre":"clipping","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Abe, Fusajiro","download_large":"ddr-njpa-4-2-master-e395d1e63d-a.jpg"}],"query":{"query":{"query_string":{"query":"Japan","fields":["id","model","links_html","links_json","links_img","links_thumb","links_children","status","public","title","description","contributor","creators","creators.namepart","facility","format","genre","geography","label","language","creation","location","persons","rights","topics","image_url","display_name","bio","extent","search_hidden"],"analyze_wildcard":false,"allow_leading_wildcard":false,"default_operator":"AND"}},"aggs":{"facility":{"nested":{"path":"facility"},"aggs":{"facility_ids":{"terms":{"field":"facility.id","size":1000}}}},"format":{"terms":{"field":"format"}},"genre":{"terms":{"field":"genre"}},"rights":{"terms":{"field":"rights"}},"topics":{"nested":{"path":"topics"},"aggs":{"topics_ids":{"terms":{"field":"topics.id","size":1000}}}}},"_source":["id","model","links_html","links_json","links_img","links_thumb","links_children","status","public","title","description","contributor","creators","creators.namepart","facility","format","genre","geography","label","language","creation","location","persons","rights","topics","image_url","display_name","bio","extent","search_hidden"]}}
