In e Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow My Be Can Trunk Tree e Pillow, Jack details the fascinating life and accomplishments of his father, and he follows the Kagetsu family across oceans and continents, telling a uniquely Japanese Canadian story of economic success and sudden dispossession. Jack Kagetsu was a highly talented individual. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Toronto in 1957. He went on to an accomplished career in the United States with the Union Carbide Corporation, where he received two patents for technical innovation. He was also a chess master—as a university student, he defeated a Russian grandmaster as well as a US and former world champion. e Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow is the result of over ten years of research that took Jack across North America, from New York to Virginia, Ontario to British Columbia, on a mission to reconstruct his family history. It is the culmination of Jack’s quest to reclaim lost years, lost knowledge, lost geographies, and lost memories. Published over ten years aer his death, this book tells the remarkable story of Jack’s famous father, and it is an important text for anyone interested in Japanese Canadian history. But the book also represents a personal vindication—a son’s repossession of memory, of relationships, and perhaps ultimately of history. – Trevor Wideman, Simon Fraser University ISBN 978-1-55058-611-4 9 781550 586114 Kagetsu 2017 book REVISED 2018-02.qxp_Kagetsu book 2018-02-07 4:23 PM Page 1 e Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow Kagetsu 2017 book REVISED 2018-02.qxp_Kagetsu book 2018-02-07 4:23 PM Page 2 Kagetsu 2017 book REVISED 2018-02.qxp_Kagetsu book 2018-02-07 4:23 PM Page 3 e Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow The Biography of an Outstanding Japanese Canadian TADASHI JACK KAGETSU Introduction by Dr. Jordan Stanger-Ross Kagetsu 2017 book REVISED 2018-02.qxp_Kagetsu book 2018-02-07 4:23 PM Page 4 Copyright © 2017 by Estate of Tadashi Jack Kagetsu Published in Canada by University of Victoria Victoria, BC V8P 5C2 [email protected] Cover image: Sketch of train at Deep Bay Logging, Fanny Bay by Kaz Tsuchida circa 1920s.

As Jack Kagetsu laboured for a decade on his manuscript, trav- elling to archives, combing newspaper articles, and organizing his find- ings as well as his memories into writing, he must have felt that he was discovering parts of himself as well as his father. It is a very personal history. e book also has communal resonance for Japanese Canadians. It reflects rev- erence for elders and speaks to the accomplishments and losses of a generation of immigrant founders, the Issei. In the case of Eikichi Kagetsu both accom- plishment and loss were of staggering proportions; perhaps no one else built so much, only to see it stolen in the mid-twentieth century odyssey of Japanese Canadians. Pull back further and we read a Canadian history. Kagetsu was an immigrant entrepreneur in a province and a country awash with the same. He was a Canadian delegate at the unveiling of the Vimy Ridge War Memorial in 1936, making time during that visit to pay respects at the gravesites of members of his community 1 This introduction benefited from the reading and comments of the who fell during the Great War and to take an aernoon tea at Buckingham Palace. wonderful students whose research His story is Canadian, too, in his uprooting, internment, and dispossession in the assistance also contributed to its 1940s—major episodes in the history of the country.

  • The Secret Life of Elsie Curtin
    Curtin University The secret life of Elsie Curtin Public Lecture presented by JCPML Visiting Scholar Associate Professor Bobbie Oliver on 17 October 2012. Vice Chancellor, distinguished guests, members of the Curtin family, colleagues, friends. It is a great honour to give the John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library’s lecture as their 2012 Visiting Scholar. I thank Lesley Wallace, Deanne Barrett and all the staff of the John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library, firstly for their invitation to me last year to be the 2012 Visiting Scholar, and for their willing and courteous assistance throughout this year as I researched Elsie Curtin’s life. You will soon be able to see the full results on the web site. I dedicate this lecture to the late Professor Tom Stannage, a fine historian, who sadly and most unexpectedly passed away on 4 October. Many of you knew Tom as Executive Dean of Humanities from 1999 to 2005, but some years prior to that, he was my colleague, mentor, friend and Ph.D. supervisor in the History Department at UWA. Working with Tom inspired an enthusiasm for Australian history that I had not previously known, and through him, I discovered John Curtin – and then Elsie Curtin, whose story is the subject of my lecture today. Elsie Needham was born at Ballarat, Victoria, on 4 October 1890 – the third child of Abraham Needham, a sign writer and painter, and his wife, Annie. She had two older brothers, William and Leslie. From 1898 until 1908, Elsie lived with her family in Cape Town, South Africa, where her father had established the signwriting firm of Needham and Bennett.

Tel.: +1 306 690 0573. E-mail address: [email protected] (S. Rayne). Management of groundwater quantity and quality is an important resource development issue in Canada [1]. Overuse and/or contamination of groundwater supplies has the potential to restrict future use of this resource [2]. In the western Canadian coastal province of British Columbia, increasing attention is being paid to the scientific and legislative/regulatory aspects of surface and groundwaters. Aquifer types in the province have been classified [3] and various investigations have employed case-study type approaches to determine the status of groundwater resources, developed rigorous quantitative models of representative aquifers with predictive capacity, and attempted to assess future changes due to natural and/or anthropogenic forcings (see, e.g., ref. [4-16] and references therein). In our previous work, we examined temporal trends in groundwater monitoring wells for the western Canada prairie province of Saskatchewan [17]. We found that groundwater resources in this region generally appear to be increasing over time and do not appear to be under current threat from depletion. As part of the current study, we have conducted a similar investigation on time trends for groundwater monitoring well levels in British Columbia.

  • Chapter 5 - Freedom from Racial Discrimination
    Chapter 5 - Freedom From Racial Discrimination Emperor Hirohito's thoughts on racial discrimination In the United States, Japanese people were the object of contempt and subjected to atrocious discrimination. In 1924, the United States Congress passed the Asian Exclusion Act. Japanese immigrants were not permitted to own either land or a house. The children of Japanese immigrants were barred from public schools. Although an exclusion movement against Japanese immigration had already been active in California for some time, the people of Japan viewed the Asian Exclusion Act as an unbearable humiliation and were outraged by it. Nitobe Inazo, the famous author of "Bushido: The Soul of Japan," had taken classes at Sapporo Agricultural College taught by American agricultural scientist William Clark, and later, as a young man, studied in the United States. From 1920, he worked as Undersecretary-General for the League of Nations. However, he was so devastated by the mounting American anti-Japanese movement, that he declared, "I shall never again set foot in the United States." In 1946, Emperor Hirohito spoke candidly to his close aides about what had provoked the war between Japan and the United States: "If you ask me what caused the war, I would say it all goes back to the contents of the peace treaty signed after the end of World War I [in 1919 at the Versailles Peace Conference in Paris]. The Racial Equality Proposal upon which Japan had insisted was rejected by the great powers. After this, the feeling persisted that people of yellow skin were being discriminated against by people of white skin.

PREFACE This is a study of the Greater East Asia Co- Prosperity Sphere with emphasis on the influence of geo­ political thought in the formation of its concept. It is therefore a rather technical study of one aspect of Japanese diplomacy. Practically no studies have been made con­ cerning the influence of geopolitics on Japanese foreign policy. It is not the purpose of this study to attaok or defend the geopolitics or the concept of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere at any stage of its development, but rather to understand it. The principal data used in preparing this work are: (l) Various records of the International Military Tribunal of the Far East; (2) microfilmed arohives of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 1868-1945; (3) materials written by Japanese geopoliticians as well as Haushofer; and (4) letters from authorities in the different aspects of this work.
