About This Item
From the d.j.: "The first Japanese immigrant to Canada was Manzo Nagano. In 1877 he stowed away on a British ship and landed in New Westminster, B.C. He eventually settled with his bride in Victoria, B.C. By the end of the 19th century, Japanese settlers were farmers in Mission and Haney B.C., shopkeepers in Vancouver, fisherman in Stevenston at the mouth of the Fraser River, loggers on Vancouver Island, and coal miners in Cumberland, B.C. Then came the internment and dispersal of WWII. Today, citizens of Japanese origin are making significant contributions to Canadian life. Toyo Takata has interviewed hundreds of these early settlers and their descendents and presents an exciting collection of photographs, many from family albums."
