    JAPANESE CULTURAL CENTER OF HAWAI‘I ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW with HARRY URATA (HU) January 19, 2009 Interviewer: Brian Niiya (BN) Notes: Double parentheses ((?)) denote unclear sentences or words. Notes in brackets [ ] are added by the translator for clarification purposes. 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.

  • Katsuichi Kawamoto the Watumull Foundation Oral
    KATSUICHI KAWAMOTO THE WATUMULL FOUNDATION ORAL HISTORY .PROJECT Katsuichi Kawamoto (1881 - ) Mr. Kawamoto came to Hawaii from Japan in 1899, the youngest of eight contract laborers who were assigned to a work force that was to start a sugar plantation on Molokai. The project failed after seven months and the laborers were released from their three-year contract with the Morioka Immigration Contracting Company. After working at several odd jobs, Mr. Kawa­ moto was employed as a foreman by the Nippu Jiji (now the Hawaii Times), a Japanese newspaper in Honolulu. He later became manager of the company, a position he held until his retirement. In 1909, when he was foreman, the Nippu Jiji became involved in the first Japanese labor strike, defending the plantation laborers in their demand. for higher wages. The newspaper again defended the laborers in their 1920 wage strike. In this interview, Mr. Kawamoto gives his version of the events of those strikes and tells about his early years in Hawaii at the turn of the century. He has received awards for promoting friendship between the United States and Japan and for his work in the Japanese community. Katherine B.

  • The Emergence of Okinawan Ethnic Identity in Hawai'i: Wartime And
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 23 (2012) The Emergence of Okinawan Ethnic Identity in Hawai‘i: Wartime and Postwar Experiences Noriko SHIMADA* INTRODUCTION In People and Cultures of Hawaii: A Psychocultural Profile, an influ- ential text that has been widely read for more than three decades by Hawai‘i’s educators, business people, journalists, and public officials, Okinawans are treated as an ethnic group distinct from Naichi Japanese.1 Okinawans have their own cultural center and host an elaborate Okinawan festival every year. They indeed seem well established as an ethnic group. Before World War II, however, Okinawans in Hawai‘i were largely viewed as just one of the groups of Japanese, like those from Hiroshima or Yamaguchi. How did they come to be regarded as a sepa- rate ethnic entity? Few have attempted to answer this question in detail. In 1957 George Yamamoto suggested: “The two subgroups among the Japanese in Hawai‘i may be regarded as two distinct ethnic groups rather than mere economic or prestige subdivisions of the same ethnic group.”2 Yamamoto failed to explain, however, how Okinawans became a “distinct ethnic group.” Yukiko Kimura researched social organizations in Okinawan commu- nities during the pre- and postwar periods, but she largely ignored the *Professor, Japan Women’s University 117 118 NORIKO SHIMADA creation of their unique ethnic identity.3 William P. Lebra, a contributor to People and Cultures of Hawaii, does not even question the separate ethnic status of Okinawans. Like Kimura, Lebra examined Okinawan experiences during and after World War II, but he did not link them to the development of Okinawans as a discrete ethnic group.

  • Hawaiifinal Revised
    HAWAII Hawaii received $1,747,825 in federal funds for abstinence-only-until-marriage programs in Fiscal Year 2006. 1 Hawaii Sexuality Education Law and Policy Hawaii’s education policy states that, “in order to help students make decisions that promote healthy behaviors, the Department of Education shall instruct students that abstention from sexual intercourse is the surest and most responsible way to prevent unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases [STDs] such as HIV/AIDS, and consequent emotional distress.” The policy specifies that programs shall help students remain abstinent, help currently sexually active students become abstinent, and “provide youth with information on and skill development in the use of protective devices and methods for the purpose of preventing sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.” Hawaii’s education policy further states that birth control devices may be discussed during human reproduction studies; however, “the distribution of condoms and other prophylactic devices to students shall be prohibited in the classroom, on the school campus or at any school-related activities.” Hawaii’s Health Content Standards also state that sexual health should be addressed and tells schools which content areas are to be addressed, but does not give curricula guidelines or suggest curricula and does not go into detail as to what should be discussed. Hawaii does not require parental permission for students to participate in sexuality or HIV/AIDS education nor does it say whether parents or guardians can remove their children from such classes. See Hawaii Board of Education Policies 2100, 2110, and 2245. Recent Legislation Legislation Allows for Rapid HIV Testing House Concurrent Resolution 293, introduced in March 2007, urges the Governor to allow rapid HIV testing in the state.

  • Introduction Chapter 1 War Stories: a Militarized History of Hawai'i
    Notes Introduction 1 According to Schmitt, the highest number of military personnel in Hawai‘i was 400,000 during World War Two. More recently, the highest number of military personnel and dependents peaked at 134,000 in 1988 (Hawai‘i Data 158). 2 In a 1926 study of the US invasion of the Philippines, authors Moorfield Story and Marcial Lichauco tell how ‘the President of the United States [in 1925] still asserts that the islands came to us “unsought”’ (Loewen, Lies Across 141). 3 Unless stated, all other data is from this source. 4 For example, in his book John Tyler: the Accidental President, historian Edward P. Crapol describes a ‘classic display of French gunboat diplomacy’ in the islands (137), and a second incident of ‘unauthorized gunboat diplomacy’ by the British (158). However, he chooses not to describe similar actions by Americans as ‘gunboat diplomacy.’ 5 A notable exception is Professor William R. Chapman, Director of the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation at the University of Hawai‘i. As a preservation- ist, Chapman believes the memorial is an important part of Hawai‘i history and should be conserved. He states, ‘There are so few major important buildings from the territorial period that to lose any one at this point would be a tragedy’ (Leidemann). Chapter 1 War Stories: A Militarized History of Hawai‘i 1 The ‘ap’ in Captain Thomas ap Catesby Jones, is a Welsh term meaning ‘son of’. 2 According to Ralph S. Kuykendall, conspirator Lorrin Thurston would later admit that the new constitution ‘was not in accordance with law’ (371).
