BC Japanese Directory 1941 Index - Nihonmachi, Vancouver

In the English Directory at this address there are only residents with last names that start with N or vacant listings. However, somtimes in the Japanese Directory cafes are listed without the word cafe, but cross referencing with the English Directory determines that at the address there is a cafe. Because this appears to be a possibility for this entry, I supplied the word cafe.

I added the parenthesis around "cific" to add emphasis that it is a phone number, and I also interpreted 檢眼士 as optometry instead of optometrist because it was located in an ad. This interpretation made more sense in this context.

天理敎　會 Tenrikyou sha Heaven's Teachings

526 E Cor Street HI 2588R [View address on street index] Vancouver

Editorial Note

The kanji have the meanings of heaven, truth, teaching, and company and in the BC Yukon directory of 1941 reverend is listed at this address, so it seems likely that this entry is associated with a religious association. I used Heaven's Teachings for the English entry because I felt that that was the central idea that the kanji was representing.

Kamabotsu is not a Japanese word but at the moment I am not able to determine its meaning. Also, in the BC Yukon Directory 1941 under this address only vacant is listed. It would be interesting to find out when the two directories were created to determine if the resident was removed from the area or simply moved in to the area.

Terminology

Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
