Masajiro Furuya was born in Yamanishi Prefecture, Japan, in 1862 and made his fortune in Washington State as a banker, merchant, and labor contractor. Furuya, a tailor by trade, immigrated to Seattle in 1890 and eventually opened his own shop. Several years later, he began operating a grocery store while he continued tailoring on the side. With the rise in Japanese immigration in the 1890s and early 1900s, Furuya's business grew rapidly. Soon, his mercantile business, complete with wholesale and retail import and export divisions, occupied a six-story building in downtown Seattle. He later opened branches elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, Japan, and Vancouver, British Columbia.Furuya, along with companies such as Tobo, also contracted Japanese laborers to work on the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads primarily as section hands and engine watchmen. The Issei made anywhere from $.85 to $1.50 per day, less than their Caucasian counterparts. In 1907, Furuya organized the Japanese Commercial Bank, then later purchased the Oriental American Bank in 1914 and the Seattle Specie Bank in 1923. He consolidated all three banks into the Pacific Commercial Bank. Unfortunately, with the Great Depression, Furuya went bankrupt on October 23, 1931. He moved to Los Angeles and eventually returned permanently to Yokohama, Japan. Furuya died in 1938.","extent":"3288W x 1888H (pixels)","links_children":"ddr-densho-9-8","format":"img","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Furuya, Masajiro"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"pcc","genre":"photograph","location":"Bainbridge Island, Washington","creation":"1930s","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Furuya, Masajiro","download_large":"ddr-densho-9-8-mezzanine-864d0d027b-a.jpg"},{"id":"60","model":"narrator","index":"10 35/{'value': 48, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/60/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/60/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/mtomio.jpg","thumb":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/mtomio.jpg","interviews":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/60/interviews/"},"display_name":"Tomio Moriguchi","bio":"Ni-ten-gosei (Nisei/Sansei) male.

Her love for Japanese American culture is one of the main factors that led to her moving to the Pacific Northwest. Joy was welcomed into the Seattle Chapter, and quickly became active. Chapter members were very encouraging, and soon she was active in the issues that JACL was engaged in during the 1990's. A clear leader who cared about the organization and was committed to their mission statement, she became chapter president. Joy helped establish many of the organizational structures that helped the Seattle Chapter sustain itself into a new century. Joy is optimistic about the newer generation of JACL activists and the work the organization has done to engage the younger generation.

Bill has extensive experience with Seattle JACL's advocacy, community outreach, civil rights and for ensuring the continuation of JACL's scholarships supporting the next generations of Japanese American leaders. He is well known as a Japanese American leader, twice Seattle JACL president, and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, whose intersectionality of identities shaped him as the individual and activist he is today. As an example was a key moment when he spoke out and shared experiences in the 2003 JACL National Convention speaking in support regarding a resolution protesting the Boy Scouts decision to exclude gay scouts. A key part of Bill's work has been his efforts on the preservation of Seattle JACL's heritage with his leadership of the Legacy Project, of which this recording is a part of.","extent":"1:15:55","links_children":"ddr-sjacl-2-39","creators":[{"role":"narrator","id":1037,"namepart":"Bill Tashima"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Elaine Kim"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Dr. Kyle Kinoshita"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Seattle JACL","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","creation":"18-Mar-22","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Bill Tashima narrator \nElaine Kim interviewer \nDr. Kyle Kinoshita interviewer","download_large":"ddr-sjacl-2-39-1-mezzanine-5a1ba70fb7-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-sjacl-2-35","model":"entity","index":"21 46/{'value': 48, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-sjacl-2-35/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-sjacl-2-35/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-35-1-mezzanine-69f898b3f3-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-35-1-mezzanine-69f898b3f3-a.jpg"},"title":"Joy Misako St. Germain Interview","description":"Ana Tanaka and Dr. Kyle Kinoshita led a conversation with Joy Misako St. Germain, detailing how she became involved with JACL and became a Seattle leader. Being one of just a few Japanese American families where she grew up, she felt a deep longing for a sense of community. Her love for Japanese American culture is one of the main factors that led to her moving to the Pacific Northwest. Joy was welcomed into the Seattle Chapter, and quickly became active. Chapter members were very encouraging, and soon she was active in the issues that JACL was engaged in during the 1990's. A clear leader who cared about the organization and was committed to their mission statement, she became chapter president. Joy helped establish many of the organizational structures that helped the Seattle Chapter sustain itself into a new century. Joy is optimistic about the newer generation of JACL activists and the work the organization has done to engage the younger generation. With the renewed focus of allyship with other communities and organizations, she feels as though everyone--the younger and older generations--can learn from each other as the JACL continues its work.","extent":"0:50:59","links_children":"ddr-sjacl-2-35","creators":[{"role":"narrator","id":1033,"namepart":"Joy Misako St. Germain"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Ana Tanaka"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Dr. Kyle Kinoshita"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Seattle JACL","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","creation":"2-Mar-22","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Joy Misako St. Germain narrator \nAna Tanaka interviewer \nDr. Kyle Kinoshita interviewer","download_large":"ddr-sjacl-2-35-1-mezzanine-69f898b3f3-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-446-413","model":"entity","index":"22 47/{'value': 48, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-446-413/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-446-413/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-446/ddr-densho-446-413-mezzanine-6cd9d30c12-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-446/ddr-densho-446-413-mezzanine-6cd9d30c12-a.jpg"},"title":"Carbon copy letter from Ai Chih Tsai to Ng Boksu","description":"Responding to Ng Boksu's inquiry about Taiwanese in the U.S. just before WWII.
