Yamashita Family
: Shintaro Yamashita was born February 7, 1893 in Ogatamura, Hiroshima, Japan. He
was the eldest son of Wakichi Yamashita and Yuki Hakata. Wakichi's surname was Fujii
but he took the Yamashita name when he married. Wakichi was a successful businessman
who sold fabrics. His business acumen however, suffered greatly due to his hospitable
nature causing him to lose a lot of money to poor credit management. Yuki Hakata came
from a samurai family and was a royal with wealth.

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.
