The schools taught Japanese language and customs to the American citizen children of the issei- the first generation of Japanese immigrant laborers. These nisei children attended the schools in addition to their regular public school day. The Hawaii Territorial Government, fearing this nisei generation of American voters still paying homage toJapan, enacted restrictive measures designed to stymie the schools by limitingwho could teach, who and what could be taught, and how and when it could be taught. The resulting bitterness toward the American community spilled over and split the Japanese community itself, played out in full rancor in the Japanese-language press. Self-styled conservative and activist editors battled over whether to buckle under or rail against racism in the cloak of "Americanization." The conservative faction, represented by publisher Yasutaro Soga of the Nippu Jiji (Japan Times), urged a passive assimilation - getting along by going along. He called for naki neri, to "weep into silence:" Comply with the unfairregulations lest more severe measures to restrict the Japanese follow. 1 4 2 The lone activist editor was Fred Kinzaburo Makino of the Hawaii Hochi (Hawaii News) who channeled community dissension into the courts with a test case challenging the "alien school" laws. Makino's vjew of assimilation was acceptingnothing less than equal rights, treatment and acceptance for the Japanese. He raged against calls for submission - the "rubbing of hands" - and branded Soga cowardly, a "worm" and chorinbo, "to be despised." 2 The "Americanization" campaign was high on the agenda of the English-language press. The afternoon Honolulu Star-Bulletin vigorously endorsed the language school restriction policies of the territorial governor - also its owner - Wallace Rider Farrington. The publisher of the morning Honolulu Advertiser, Lorrin A. Thurston, was a key member of the territorial Citizenship Education Committee. Both newspapers became highly critical - and at one point called for the muzzling - of Makino's Hochi. They used a high-grade jingoism and barely veiled racial threats ineditorials that spread the fear of a Japanese-dominated island payinghomage more to emperor than president and "too ignorant (of American ideals) to be trusted with self-government." 3 But it was the territorial government and American dailies who failed the test on constitutional rights. In 1927 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the challenge brought by Makino's Hochi and a group of language schools, declaring the school regulation laws unconstitutional. The high court's decision was another in a long string of Makino's civil rights campaigns. Although it settled the language 3 school controversy, the deep rift between Makino's Hochi and Soga's Jiji would never heal. Makino would continue to challenge the English-language press as well, demanding an equal role for Japanese in Hawaii's society. The Japanese Language School battle focused the essential differences between the two Japanese press leaders and reflected the divisions and struggles for identity within the Japanese community. Franklin Odo and Kazuko Sinoto's study of the role of the press in developing Hawaii's Japanese community concludes: It was in the dramatic confrontations of the (Jiji and Hochi) and their publisher-editors that the essential role of the Japanese press in Hawaii may best be appreciated. The basic cultural, political and ideological developmentsamong the issei and nisei were primarily worked out on thepages of Soga's Nippu Jiji and Makino's Hawaii Hochi. The very identity of the entire ethnic group within Hawaiian society was carved out of their debates over acculturation, civil rights and labor movements. 4 Rise of the Japanese Press After the first six-year contract period for Japanese laborers was up, some elected to stay in Hawaii and start their own businesses. One was an ex-immigration inspector, Bunichiro Onome, who began publication of the first Japanese-language newspaper the mimeographed Nippon Shuho (Japan Weekly) in 1892. 5 From its beginnings the Japanese Press in Hawaii served a dual role for a community with a dual identity. It was a link- in many cases the last - between the immigrant and the home left behind. Shunzo Sakamaki, in his 1928 study of Hawaii's Japanese press wrote: There is an inevitable cleavage between the old-Japan parent and his Hawaiian-born offspring. And the gap x;etween him and the third generation is even greater. So, with stoic compliance to this strange situation, so foreign to the ways 6 4 of his people for countless generations, the Japanese in Hawaii turns to his language newspaper; here he lives in a familiar world; here he finds some measure of consolation; here he lives out his days in the realm of memory and fancy. 6 But the Japanese Press was also predominantly bilingual, seeing itself as an educational tool to help contract laborers learn English, establish their permanent residence in Hawaii, invest in local enterprises rather than send their money back to Japan, and to raise their children as Americans. 7 The Shuho passed through several hands and name-changes to become the daily Nippu Jiji, the leading Japanese voice in the early 1900s. The Jiji, under publisher Yasutaro Soga, ran a series of stories in 1908, written by Yokichi Tasaka and Motoyuki Negoro that exposed inequities in wages and housing for Japanese plantation workers. The stories attracted the attention of Fred Kinzaburo Makino, a drugstore owner fluent in English and Japanese. Makino had no legal training but would serve as an advocate or representative of non-English speaking Japanese involved in legal disputes. Makino joined Soga, Tasaka and Negoro to form the Higher Wages Association, which sought to negotiate pay and living conditions for the Japanese laborers equal to their Portuguese and Puerto Rican counterparts. Negotiations proved futile and the association called for a strike. The result was the territory's

  • Photographically Illustrated Books About Hawai'i, 1854-1945
    LYNN ANN DAVIS Photographically Illustrated Books about Hawai'i, 1854-1945 THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY surveys books and pamphlets about Hawai'i with photographic illustrations.1 The first book illustration, from a daguerreotype, was an engraved portrait of the heir to the Hawaiian throne, Alexander Liholiho, published in 1854. The bibliography ends with the close of World War II in the Pacific in 1945. From the 1850s on, the U.S. government was increasingly interested in Hawai'i's strategic location. The Hawaiian Islands were the winter port for the American whaling fleet in the 1840s and 1850s. The discovery of gold in California in 1849 brought Americans to the West Coast, and by 1853 there were covert discussions about the possible annexation of the Islands by the United States. In January 1893 the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown. An interim government was established, and businessmen with American ties lobbied the U.S. government for territorial status. This politically tumultuous period coincided with a development in printing tech- nology that, for the first time, made it possible to easily and cheaply reproduce continuous tone photographs by making halftone repro- ductions. Lynn Ann Davis is from Kane'ohe, O'ahu. She is Head of the Preservation Department at the University of Hawai'i at Mdnoa Library and previously worked at Bishop Museum as Chairman of the Archives and Visual Collections from 1973—93- She received a master's degree from University of New Mexico in 1984, and has published books and articles about photography in Hawai 'i.

BN: We’re here at the Japanese Cultural Center on January 19, 2009 with Mr. Harry Urata and we’re going to ask him a life history with him and I guess we’ll start maybe with your parents. Maybe you could tell me their names and what you know about where they were from and what led them to come to Hawaii as far as, based on what you know. HU: Can you speak louder? I have a hard time hearing now. BN: I wonder if you could tell us about your parents—their names and what you know about where they were from and why they came to Hawaii. HU: My father’s name is Fukutaro Urata. My mother and he got married in Kumamoto before they came to Hawaii. That was, I think, I don’t remember exactly when but then they settled in Kukui Street, where I live right now, and they started a vegetable store, small one, very small. Then I was born there but when I was two years old, my father had an accident, car accident, at Nuuanu Pali. I think he was the first victim of Japanese immigrants with a car accident so came out in a big write-up in Hawaii Hochi and Nippu Jiji. I still have the Nippu Jiji one.

  • Evolutions of "Paradise": Japanese Tourist Discourse About Hawaii
    Evolutions of "Paradise": Japanese Tourist Discourse about Hawaii Yujin Yaguchi and Mari Yoshihara I in the summer of 1963, the popular Japanese actor Yuzo Kayama starred in a film called Hawai no Waka Daisho (translated as A Young Guy in Hawaii by the distributor).1 The film is set in Hawai'i, a paradise-like vacation land that many Japanese long to visit.2 Waka Daisho [Young Guy], a handsome college student played by Kayama, visits Hawai'i on behalf of a wealthy Japanese businessman whose spoiled son has turned into a "beachboy" in Hawaii.3 Waka Daisho manages to find the son, but he also accidentally meets an acquaintance, Sumiko, a beautiful young woman sent by a Japanese cosmetic company to help establish a branch in Honolulu. The two become close friends, and in one scene, they stroll on the beach together, Waka Daisho sings with an 'ukulele, and the sun sets beautifully in the Pacific Ocean. The film, the first of the extremely popular "Waka Daisho" film series to be shot abroad, portrayed many of the iconic images of Hawai'i for the Japanese audience. In the narrative and filmic construction, Hawai'i serves as the setting where beautiful women await the young, clean-cut hero who accomplishes his mission of finding a "lost" son, refines his skill as a sailor, and, through integrity and honesty, is united with the heroine. The popular icons of Hawai'i—clear sky, blue ocean, yachts, surfing, palm trees, lei, 'ukulele, hula, and Hawaiian 0026-3079/2004/4503-081 $2.50/0 American Studies, 45:3 (Fall 2004): 81-106 81 82 Yujin Yaguchi and MariYoshihara melodies—all provide a setting for the narrative in ways that the Japanese audience could recognize.

  • Kansas – Point of Know Return Live
    Kansas – Point Of Know Return Live & Beyond (43:41 + 68:31, CD, Digital, Vinyl, InsideOut Music / Sony Music, 2021) Nach diversen Umbesetzungen vor einigen Jahren ist das amerikanische Progschlachtschiff Kansas wieder schwer auf Kurs. Man legte nach dem geglückten Neustart mit The„ Prelude Implicit“ (2016) und besonders „The Absence Of Presence“ (2020) nicht nur zwei prächtige Studioalben vor, auch live präsentiert sich die Band nach der alterstechnischen Blutauffrischung vitaler denn je. Deswegen geht ebenfalls „Live & Beyond“ in die zweite Runde. Vor rund drei Jahren würdigte man bereits den 76er Klassiker „Leftoverture“ in seiner Gesamtheit im Livekontext, jetzt folgt der zweite, ebenfalls verkaufstechnisch sehr erfolgreiche Platinum Seller „Point Of Know Return“. Wies das erste „Live & Beyond“ Package noch einige Makel auf, besonders durch die massive Verwendung von Autotune bei den Gesangspassagen, so macht die Band dieses Mal alles richtig. Gerade der Steve Walsh Nachfolger Ronnie Platt hat anscheinend wesentlich mehr an Vertrauen in seine eigene Stimmkraft gewonnen und liefert eine perfekte Performance voller vokaler Leidenschaft ab. Natürlich gibt es einige Überschneidungen mit dem letzten Livepackage, da man eben nicht grundsätzlich auf „Leftoverture“ Klassiker wie ‚The Wall‘, ‚Miracles Out Of Nowhere‘ und dem unverwüstlichen ‚Carry On Wayward Son‘ verzichten wollte.
