This series consists of two pre-war reports on Japanese Canadians in British Columbia. The first is a statistical report on “Second Generation Japanese in British Columbia” that Regenda Sumida and students of Japanese descent at UBC instigated, and the Canadian Japanese Association subsequently supported in 1935. The second is a report submitted to H.L. Keenlyside, from two aldermen in British Columbia in 1938, Halford D. Wilson, and Harrry J. DeGreaves. This report identified a series of problems with the Japanese Canadian population in British Columbia and proposes solutions. This report also includes some statistical information. The political position of this report is deeply racist and clearly in favor of “white Canada”. Together, however, they provide a pre-war summary of Japanese-Canadian life in British Columbia.

This report was published by The Committee for the Survey of the Second Generation Japanese in British Columbia, the Canadian Japanese Association (329 Gore Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., 1935). The report made during summer 1935 by Japanese-Canadian students from the University of British Columbia, Wasada University (Tokyo, Japan), and the University of Alberta. It was conceived as a “follow-up” report of Regenda Sumida’s 1934 report on the Japanese in British Columbia. The report is predominantly statistical, with some explanatory content. Including the introduction, the report is 60 pages long. The sections are: Population statistics of “Second Generation Japanese in British Columbia”, educational, occupational, marital, and social conditions (the later including religious denominations, distribution of organizations, reading matter, musical attainments, special amusements, sports, social difficulty, contact with Japan, and stability).

The authors submitted the report “in support of [their] contention that the Oriental situation in British Columbia is vitally affecting the welfare of not only British Columbia, but the whole Dominion of Canada.” The heading sections are “Immigrants illegally admitted, whether naturalized or not; Canadian born Orientals; occupations pursuits by industries; educational problems occasioned by oriental population.” The authors pose each item as a problem and propose solutions. The report includes list of the 12 documents appended as evidence, concluding membership lists from the Consolidated Cod Fishermen’s Association, letters from white farmers, fishermen, photographs of “typical Japanese dwellings”, and a copy of the report from the “White Canada Research Committee” (1938).

This series was originally one file and was separated into three folders in its initial accession. In total, the file comprises of correspondence, reports, legal cases, and lists relating to R.J. McMaster's activity representing Japanese Canadians who wished to rescind their "consent" to deportation and who submitted claims to the Bird Commission (Royal Commission on Japanese Claims, 1947-50).
It includes the report titled, “In the Matter of Certain Restrictive Measures Affecting the Re-entry and Immigration to Canada of Persons of Japanese Ancestry”, “To the Honourable, The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration” from “National Japanese Canadian Citizens Association 1951.”
It also contained copies of special reports made by Commission Henry Irvine Bird in his final submission for the Bird Commission in 1950. These were exceptional cases that, in Bird’s judgment, warranted special consideration. This file contains multiple copies of certain reports, but not a complete set of the reports. These include the reports for Asari Sadajiro, Ukichi Nitsui, Zennosuke Inouye, Kunimatsu Saimoto, Nokukichi Takai, Shimo Kameda, and claims for properties in Port Essington, B.C., and Hakoda Bay. The file includes some correspondence with the claimants regarding the special compensation. These claimants were represented by R.J. McMaster in the Bird Commission hearings.
The file also contains copies of legal precedents relating to compensation in American and Canadian expropriation and eminent domain cases. R.J. McMaster likely used this material to prepare legal argumentation regarding “fair market value” for the Bird Commission hearings.
This file also includes material (bulletins, updates) circulated by the Co-operative Committee on Japanese Canadians circulated to the Japanese-Canadian claimants it represented in the Bird Commission.
The file also includes one release form exonerating Campbell, Brazier, Fisher and McMaster Barristers and Solicitors from being sued by Japanese claimants represented by the firm in respect to “threatened deportation of persons of the Japanese race by the Government of the Dominion of Canada”. They are signed in summer 1947. This file includes forms of:
- Hatsusaburo Oikawa – Okanagan Centre, B.C. – (wife) Mitsu, (children) Mitsuo, Yoshio, Shiuo, Yasuo, Masao
This file also includes lists of claimants with their claim type, date and locations for their individual Bird Commission hearing. These are partial lists of the claimants McMaster and other solicitors represented (being of certain dates in Vernon, Kamloops, Grand Forks, Vancouver and Lytton) but provide insight into his organization and notes for the Bird Commission hearings. One of these schedules contains notes regarding claims made for fishing vessels. Another contains brief notes on individual hearings, noting whether the claim is concluded or will require further representation.
There are also lists of claimants who submitted claims to the Bird Commission, titled “List ‘A’” and “List ‘B’”. It is not obvious what the groupings of these claimants indicate.
There are also handwritten notes by R.J. McMaster wherein his organized his schedule for the Bird Commission.
The original physical file that the material was donated in is also included.

DESCRIPTION

This series was originally one file and was separated into two folders in the initial accession process. The file contains reports and correspondence from Robert J. McMaster’s research in preparation of the Bird Commission. Working for the Co-operative Committee on Japanese Canadians, McMaster coordinated research efforts into the market value of automobiles, fishing nets, radios, and urban and rural real estate in 1942. Of particular note are a series of updates from Anthony E. Cobus on his progress trying to find appraisers who would testify against the government’s agents. These updates reveal something of British Columbians’ attitudes towards the process of forced sale. McMaster’s inquiries to different property owners, appraisers, the Canadian Bureau of Statistics, Japanese Canadians and the former neighbors provide insight into the CCJC’s strategy in approaching the Bird Commission. This file also includes limited correspondence between McMaster and individual claimants (including Ken Hayashi and S. Tanaka).

DESCRIPTION
This fonds contains 392
The fonds consists of records that relate to Hidaka's occupational activities as a researcher and consultant and his committee activities on behalf of numerous Japanese Canadian organizations at the local and national level during the time following the Second World War to his death in 1985 . The records pertain to such issues involving Japanese Canadians at war-time 'evacuation' and post-war exile/deportation, immigration, citizenship rights, property claims and redress. The records are primarily in the form of correspondence, newsletters, minutes, report, notes and memoranda, with some ephemera such as pamphlets and other publications, newspaper clippings and envelopes.
The fonds consists of three series. The first series consists of files of correspondence with and on behalf of clients and other material relating to research and consulting. The second series of files relates to activities with Japanese Canadian committees. The third and last series consist of files of research and reference material.
However, due to racist policies in BC, Kunio could not get a job that used his degree. He ended up working at an acid plant of the pulp and paper mill at Ocean Falls. In March 1942, he was forcibly removed from Ocean Falls to Vancouver and became a member of the Japanese Canadian Citizen's Council (JCCC) which was organized by Nisei from Vancouver and the lower mainland to serve as one of the liaison groups between the Japanese Canadian community and the government on "evacuation" matters. During much of this time he stayed at the Tairiku Nippo newspaper building which was the headquarters of the JCCC through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Yoriki Iwasaki. In August of 1942 he was removed to Slocan city and saw the construction of Bay Farm, Popoff and Lemon Creek from forest and farm land. He worked for the BC Security commission in setting up the office and administering welfare maintenance services. In November 1942, he was sent to Greenwood to do the same work and stayed there until March 1943. Kunio moved to London Ontario in May 1943 where he worked in a wartime steel rolling mill and stayed until he entered the Master's program in Queen's University in September. He may have been the first graduate from the Master's program in Public Administration.
After graduation in 1945, he moved to Toronto and got his first exposure to town planning with Town Planning Consultants Ltd under Dr. Faludi. He then tried landscaping for Brobst Forestry, and Mr. Karl Brobst helped get Kunio's parents to Ontario. Eventually in 1947, he achieved an MA in Economics from the University of Toronto and subsequently took a Town and Regional planning graduate course at the University of Toronto in 1952, continuing with advanced graduate studies in Public Administration at George Washington University, Washington, DC. Community planning became his ultimate career and he excelled as planner, director and consultant to the Town and Township of Markham, Town of Newmarket, and the Regional Municipality of York. He worked for the Ontario Department of Planning and Development and Department of Municipal affairs in management and consultation until his retirement in 1983.
In Japanese Canadian community activities, Kunio was ever present: beginning with the Japanese Canadian Citizen's League (in pre war and during the war years), the Japanese Canadian Committee for Democracy (assisting "relocees" to settle in the East), the National JCCA (working with the Bird Commission on property claims in 1946-48), the Cooperative Committee on Japanese Canadians (who opposed exile/deportation to Japan), the Citizenship Defense committee (liaison with all provincial groups to raise money for legal costs to raise civil rights issues), the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (where he served as president in 1963-64), the Nipponia Home (where he served many years on the board), the 1977 Centennial Year celebrations (where he contributed to many events) and lastly with the Toronto (North York) Chapter, NAJC.
Kunio's wife Susan worked alongside him throughout his many activities including his counsel to youth about career and educational opportunities. Audrey Kobayashi, a niece who now teaches at McGill University was inspired by Kunio and considered him her mentor. Forrest E. LaViolette, associate professor at McGill, author of "The Japanese Canadians" gave Kunio a reference in 1945, at a critical time of his career.

The third series pertains to his time with the Canada Salted Herring Export sales company and the BC Salted salmon Export Sales Company. The fourth series relates to his experience on the Japanese Fishing Boat Disposition Committee (JFVDC) in 1942 and the sale of fishing boats owned by Japanese Canadians. The fifth series pertains to Kimura’s time in 1943 on the Advisory Committee for the disposition of Japanese-owned properties that were being held by the Custodian. The sixth series relates to Kimura’s life after his time on the Advisory Committee for the Disposal of Japanese Owned Properties (1944-). The seventh series consists of digital family photographs.
Mr.
On October 12, 1902, Mr. Kimura was legally adopted by Tamotsu Kimura and his wife Mumeno to be their heir. The elder Kimura owned a brewery in a hamlet called Kojotsu in the Village of Nakahama, part of the present city of Sakaiminato.
In 1911, Mr. Kimura accompanied his adopted mother to Kobe to board the Panama Maru of Osaka Shosen bound for Canada. Mr. Kimura's adopted father, who had already immigrated to Canada, arranged to have them join him. They arrived in Victoria, British Columbia on June 29, 1911, and were reunited with the elder Kimura. After a few days of rest and sightseeing, the family departed for Vancouver, British Columbia.
At that time, Mr. Kimura had completed only five years of schooling at an elementary school in Nakahama. In order to continue his education after his arrival in Vancouver, Mr. Kimura took a job as a newspaper carrier for the Tairiku Nippo, and moved into its boarding house.
Mr. Kimura started to attend the Japanese National Elementary School in September 1911, and completed his six years of mandatory education in April of the following year. He attended Strathcona School, and completed two and a half years of junior high school.
In 1915, he commenced to work as a labourer in various sawmills and lumber yards to help support the family. Whenever he found spare time, he studied Japanese and book-keeping. In 1918, he obtained a position at the Import Department of Ogawa Shokai, an importer and distributor of Japanese sundry goods. In 1920, Mr. Kimura moved to Ito Shokai an exporter of salted herring and salmon.
Based on the experience he gained dealing in salted fish sales, Mr. Kimura persuaded salted fish producers, who were increasing in number and competitiveness, to establish a cooperative marketing company. Canada Salted Herring Export Sales Company was established in 1934. Then in 1935, Mr. Kimura established BC Salted Salmon Export Sales Company, another cooperative for control of shipment and negotiations for commercial processing of salted fish. Mr. Kimura became the executive director for both organizations, which continued their operations until the start of World War II.
In 1942, Mr. Kimura served on the Japanese Fishing Boat Disposition Committee that was involved in the sale of fishing boats owned by residents of Japanese extraction. These boats were impounded by the Canadian Government shortly after the Japan's entry in World War II in 1941. He also served for a brief period in 1943 on the Advisory Committee for the disposition of Japanese-owned properties that were being held by the Custodian.
Mr. Kimura married Haruno Makino on August 10, 1929. They settled into a house on McGill Street in Vancouver, BC They raised five children, two sons, Edmund and Gregory, and three daughters, Florence, Blanche and Beatrice.
Mr. Kimura and family moved to Alpine Lodge Community at Christina Lake, BC. In October 1942. This former resort location became the residences for approximately 100 Japanese Canadians who re-located from coastal BC Initially, the family temporarily stayed in rooms at Alpine Inn, and later moved to a lakeshore cabin. A two-room rural school for elementary and high school students was established for the children. Most of the men at the community were employed at Sandner Brothers Sawmill at the south end of Christina Lake and its logging operations around the lake. Mr. Kimura, following his tenure with the Custodian, became the book-keeper and later general foreman at Sandner Brothers Sawmill.
Following the end of World War II, Alpine Lodge Community was disbanded, and the family along with eight other families moved to Christina Lake Community close to the sawmill where new houses were built in 1946. All families readily integrated and participated in various activities at this new location. The children bussed to Grand Forks to attend school.
Mr. Kimura continued to work at the sawmill until 1961 when he retired and moved to Vancouver where he was able to re-acquaint and enjoy the company and association with a number of old friends.
Mrs. Kimura passed away in May 1967 following a brief illness. Mr. Kimura continued to enjoy the company of family and friends, especially visits from the grandchildren. However, with advancing age and failing health, he passed away on August 3, 1976 at the age of 77.

The third series consists of papers and objects amassed while the Morishitas (with the Ebisuzakis) ran the Ebisuzaki Shoten (store) at 337 Powell Street in Vancouver, BC. The fourth series consists of family photographs and objects belonging to the Morishita family. The fifth series consists of papers and objects belonging to the Morishita children. And the sixth series consists of papers and objects belonging to the Ebisuzaki family.
Hide remained in Canada and made western clothes for the new arriving immigrants in addition to teaching girls to sew and make futon. (The futon was made from carded sheet wool and covered with cotton baton and covered silk.) In her leisure time, she enjoyed watching the Asahis play baseball. On Wednesday afternoons, her day off, Hide would go to watch them play.
Teiji married Sawa Hamada (born March 3, 1909) in Shida Machi, Fukuoka in 1929. Sawa came to Canada a year later on May 30, 1930 as a landed immigrant. Along with Sawa, Kentaro Ebisuzaki (fifteen) and Kojiro Ebisuzaki (twelve) returned from Uruzu after ten years in Japan accompanied by their mother Hide. The two families began living at 335 Jackson Avenue in Vancouver, BC, but as the family grew, they moved to a larger home at 466 Cordova Street in Vancouver, BC. Teiji was principal owner of the home would hold nine family members; Teiji, Sawa and their children: Nancy (Kuniko), Teruo, Hatsumi, Setsuko, Masako as well as the Ebisuzakis: Hide, Masataro, Kojiro and Kentaro. (Kimiye was born to the Morishitas later in New Denver, BC.) In addition to the family member, two rooms were kept for girls who worked in the store.
The Ebisuzaki Shoten or dry goods store was a prosperous business. Masataro's son Kentaro attended a commerce high school on Hastings Street in Vancouver, which helped the business. They not only sold items locally but made deliveries to outlying Japanese Canadian community areas as well as sawmills and logging camps. Teiji delivered goods to Haney, BC and Hammond, BC in the 1930s using one of the two panel trucks owned by the store. (The Dodge Desoto passenger car was acquired in 1940.) Kojiro Ebisuzaki, now under the guardianship of his uncle Teiji, obtained his driver's license at sixteen and began delivering goods to Vancouver Island. Other workers delivered goods to the Fraser Valley communities and beyond, extending all the way to Alberta.
In the front of the store, clothes and materials were sold and in the back of the store, food items such as shoyu, rice, tea, etc were sold. Sewing machines and tables were set up in the mezzanine space above the office area where the clothes and futons were sewed.
Nancy (Kuniko) Morishita was born in Vancouver General Hospital in 1932. She attended Strathcona School until grade four and in the evenings went to the Vancouver Japanese Language School. She also attended the Odori School (dance) next door to the Japanese Language School on Alexander Street in Vancouver, BC. Nancy was ten when the war broke out and things began to change for her and her family. She remembers two large men (Mounties) taking Kojiro her cousin in the night while he was relaxing in the ofuro (bath) to Angler; a Prisoner of War Camp in Ontario. He was arrested for protesting the breakup of families by sending young men to road camps in BC and Alberta.
Teiji had contacts in Raymond, Alberta through his Ebisuzaki dealings and moved his family there to farm sugar beets in early 1942. He relied on Mr Moriyama to find him a job on a large farm. Nancy’s uncle, Jichiro Morishita, joined the family on April 27, 1942. He arrived alone as his wife and three children left for Japan in 1939 to look after his wife's grandmother.
Meanwhile the dry goods store was seized by the Custodian and all items were listed. Money was paid to the wholesalers and any debts were encouraged to be paid to Ebisuzaki Shoten. They were allowed to take only personal items with them. The house at 466 Cordova was also seized by the Custodian and sold off in 1943 once an Order-in-Council was issued. Teiji later made claim for losses in 1947.
During the Internment, the Morishitas moved from Raymond, Alberta to New Denver, BC on May 22, 1943, as Sawa’s eyes were degenerating in the Alberta climate. Jichiro stayed behind joining a Labour Camp at Blue River, BC. Since there were no spots in the internment camp in Lemon Creek, BC (where Hide was) they lived near Harris Ranch for a while, but could not climb the hill to go to church, so eventually moved to Roseberry, BC on June 1, 1943. Teiji worked for CPR, repairing barges and scows in a CPR camp, where he learned blacksmithing. They finally moved to Lemon Creek to join Hide on July 17, 1945 and Teiji began work as a truck driver with his driver's license ticket. They stayed until Lemon Creek closed down and helped with the clean up. Teiji drove a truck to collect all the BC Security Commission blankets that were distributed. They moved to Slocan City, BC on July 28, 1947. At that time, Nancy left the family to go back to Vancouver as a school girl, working as a domestic in an upper class Vancouver home. The family she worked for owned a sawmill where Ebisuzaki goods used to be delivered to. Eventually she went to nursing school from 1951-54 at Vancouver General Hospital School of nursing. The rest of the family returned to Vancouver in 1960 after an eighteen year absence.
Teiji Morishita died on June 25, 1993 and Sawa Morishita died on April 10 2005.

The Tsutae and Hanako Sato fonds consists of nineteen series of files pertaining to the personal and business lives of Tsutae and Hanako Sato. The fonds ranges from the arrival of Tsutae Sato in Canada in the early 1900s with his involvement as Principal of the Vancouver Japanese Language School, to the internment of Tsutae and Hanako Sato during World War II and Tsutae's work for the Vancouver Japanese School of Languages Maintenance Association, to the reestablishment of the Vancouver Japanese Language School in the 1950s, to the activities conducted by Tsutae and Hanako Sato after their retirement in 1966.
Mr. Sato's wife, Hanako, was born in 1901 in Wakayama-ken Japan, but moved to Tokyo when she was only a year old. Then her family moved to Niigata when she was about kindergarten age, and a few years later to Toyama. Her father was a medical doctor, and the family moved with him from one city to another as he frequently relocated. Finally, however, the family settled down in Tokyo. Hanako was a graduate of Tokyo Women's Teacher Training School (current Tokyo Gakugei University) and, like Mr. Sato, taught at a Primary school in Tokyo. In 1921, Hanako came to Canada as a teacher on the invitation of the Japanese Language School of Vancouver, four years after Tsutae arrived. Tsutae and Hanako had known each other and they were married just prior to Hanako's departure for Canada in 1921.
As part of their accomplishments, Tsutae and Hanako were responsible for upgrading and improving the quality offered by the Japanese Language School. They were also the ones primarily responsible for the establishment of the Japanese Canadian Language Schools Federation, as well as for the addition of a larger school building.
The Japanese Language Schools Federations functioned until 1941 when the Pacific War broke out. It fostered a peaceful and harmonious relationship between Japanese schools, thus strengthening the Japanese community as a whole.
During the forced uprooting, Mr. and Mrs. Sato spent eleven years at Lacombe, Alberta, from 1942 to 1952. During this time they managed to travel to practically all of the places where their former students resettled in order to comfort them and encourage them.
In 1952, the Satos returned to Vancouver and resumed their roles as the Principal and teacher of the Vancouver Japanese Language School, until 1966, when they retired.
Mr. Sato's contribution to the society of Canada as a whole was recognized by the Canadian government on July 1978, when he was named a member of the Order of Canada.
Hanako Sato died in Vancouver, May 4, 1983; Tsutae Sato three weeks later on May 23, 1983.

Some were responses and some were initiated by Tsutae Sato by reading marriage or death announcements involving his former students or their parents in "New Canadian", or reading in the letters from other students.
The draft letters provide a glimpse of the lives of his former students who were then scattered all over Canada as well as Tsutae and Hanako Sato's life in the country in Alberta where Tsutae Sato now worked as a laborer/farm helper. The draft letters refer to how well these former students were establishing themselves in the society of Canada in the short time after the War. Some letters mention that Tsutae Sato received the highest number of mail at the post office in the community.

The file consists of handwritten manuscript of letters in Japanese with a front and back cover. Most letters were written to his former students. While a majority of the letters were written by Tsutae Sato, one letter was written by Mrs. Sato; therefore, it appears that these file folders were used by both Mr. & Mrs. Sato for the manuscript of all outgoing letters for tracking purposes as well as simply for the record.
One letter to his former student, who then lived in Japan, describes how this former student wrote in his letter that he lived without hope, with worries and depressed. Sato wrote that a majority of the Japanese in Japan must have felt in the same way; he was not the only one. Sato then provided the professional advice encouraging him to further his study.
One letter mentions that many of his friends and former students have moved to Toronto; therefore, the largest volume of correspondence was with Toronto.
Letters describe how Tsutae and Hanako Sato lived without running water, no sewer, no electricity, no bath, but lived healthy life. Tsutae worked on the farm owned by a college in the summer and chopping woods, carrying coal and water in the winter. He spent many hours reading and writing letters.
In one letter (to Iwasaki), Sato writes: [translation] "Japan lost in the war, but it does not mean all of the Japanese culture is lost. On the contrary, I consider that, now peace having been re-established, the economic and cultural exchange between Japan and Canada will be enhanced even more so than before the War." Therefore, he argues, there will be need for Japanese language schools in the future. Sato further writes that organizations of his countrymen are more concerned with recovering money and not paying enough attention to organizing and retaining intellectual assets. There must be hidden records of struggles for each organization. Unless they work to collect and keep those records now, these precious cultural treasures will be scattered and lost. It would be an important work to research the activities of various organizations when the Japanese were developing along the coast and leave them as written records.
Sato ends his letter with a haiku of Basho: [translation] "When I saw more carefully, I noticed there was nazuna flower growing on the fence." Nazuna flower is an ordinary weed and most people even do not notice its existence. However, it brings out emotion to a poet and might be an interesting specimen for a biologist.
In a letter to Ryotaro Nobuoka, Sato thanks his advice to move to the east (Toronto area), but he writes that the current living in Lacombe Alberta is suited for his writing projects.
In a letter to a former student (Sunahara), in response to Sunahara's question whether to proceed with the study to obtain a PhD, Sato gives detailed advice to go for it. He encourages Sunahara referring to Sunahara's shy and cautious personality while Sato's affection is felt throughout the letter.
In a letter to Meinosuke Ishihara who then lived in Japan, Sato describes that, as the result of the forced relocation in 1942, the highest number of the countrymen (Nikkei) now lived in Ontario (over 8,000); 6,000 in Toronto and 1,000 in Hamilton. Over 1,000 in Montreal. Next is in Alberta with about 4,000. About 1,000 in Winnipeg. About 6,000 in BC with many in the Okanagan Valley and along the CP Rail, e.g. Kamloops. Not many returned to Vancouver. He also wrote that the countrymen, who were poor during the "Coast days" with many children to raise, were now well off because all these children grew up and were now making good wages. In the postscript, he mentions that he sent chocolates by a separate mail.

The file consists of handwritten draft letters in Japanese on genkoyoshi (Japanese writing papers for manuscript) with a front and back cover. There is a Japanese writing "1950" on the front cover. While the majority is the draft letters dated 1950, there are four letters that are dated late December 1949. Also, towards the end, there are draft letters that are dated between 1923 and 1943. In particular, there is a manuscript of letters Sato sent to his teachers and friends in Tokyo immediately following the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. This manuscript is partially translated below.
The majority of letters are written to Sato's former students and their parents. Sato mentions in letters that he receives several hundreds Christmas cards every year. Some former students have been sending cards for almost 30 years.
Letter to Senji Takashima, dated January 10, 1950 (1996.170.1.14.3)
This letter responds to Takashima's inquiry regarding the loss Sato sustained in the sale of his house in Vancouver by the Custodian during the War. Sato points out that the Custodian sold his house in 1944 for $900 while the Custodian raised the insured value from $1,000 to $2,000 a few months prior to the sale. Sato also found out that there was another offer for $1,100 a few weeks later. The property was later professionally appraised to have had a value of $2,700 in 1944.
Sato adds in this letter that he accepts the forced relocation from the Pacific Coast as a necessary measure by the Canadian government during the War; however he cannot accept the forced unreasonable sale of the properties owned by the Nikkei people. He cites the case of the Nikkei Americans where the Nikkei people's properties and assets along the Pacific Coast were kept and returned to them after the War. Not having their properties, the Issei in Canada lost the opportunity for re-establishing their lives.
Letter to Fuseo Toda, dated January 7, 1950 (1996.170.1.14.4)

Sato writes that he heard Shigeru bought a car and people were saying that he mostly bought it to make his aged mother happy.

Sato writes he researched the whereabouts of her son after reading her letter, which described how worried she was about her son as she had not heard from him for a while.

Sato enclosed an addressed envelope so that the mother, who probably could not read or write English well, could send a letter to her son.

Kamishiro appears to work for Foreign Affairs of the Japanese government and was stationed in Ottawa and then Winnipeg, Sato writes information on the Nikkei people at the time:
- Distribution of the Nikkei people in Canada: approximately, BC 6,000, Alberta 4,000, Saskatchewan 400 - 500, Ontario 8,000 and Quebec 1,500.
- by City: Toronto 6,000, Montreal 1,300, Hamilton 1,000, Winnipeg less than 1,000, Vancouver 400, Fort William 500, Raymond (?) and vicinity 1,000, other 1,000.
- As indicated above, Japanese concentration moved from BC to Ontario and from Vancouver to Toronto.
- The restriction of Nikkei movement was removed last April, but it has been difficult to return to Vancouver because there are no more houses and it lacks suitable work. Fishing and gardening are still good, and the people from Steveston are slowly returning to the coast.
- It seems there is less anti-Japanese sentiment in the east compared to BC; therefore, Nisei are obtaining jobs in various areas such as government officer. school teacher, company employee, factory technician, etc.
- However, the Issei who were successful on the coast are not doing too well. Now they are aged and generally lack high spirit. They make living working as factory worker or hired laborer.
- The Issei who were struggling with many children are now living fairly well with all those children having grown up and helping out economically.
- Three Nikkei educational societies decided to give funding as follows: $2,000 to the movement to obtain Canadian citizenship, $1,500 to aid the rescue of Japanese refugees; $500 to organize Japanese books, $600 to publish the education society's journal.

Letter to Shizue Morikawachi in Japan, dated April 12, 1950 (1996.170.1.14.27)
Response to a letter received. Shizue is a former student. Because Morikawachi works for a publisher in Japan, Sato asks about an estimated cost of publishing his letters, which amounted to a few thousands at the time.
Response to Mr. McGill, the juvenile court director, who asked why there are few juvenile delinquents among the Japanese. (1996-170-1-14-28) Sato writes:
1) Influence of home
i. The Japanese value family and home as the basis of morality. They are taught that parents love their children, children respect their parents, older siblings love and look after younger siblings, and younger siblings are to be obedient to older siblings. Therefore home is warm and fun.
ii. The Japanese value family name/honor. Honor of a family member is the honor of the whole family and shame of a family member is the shame of the whole family.
2) Influence of Japanese language school
i. At Japanese language school, students are taught to be good Canadians. They are taught to be: "Be a good Canadian citizen."; "Respect moral and laws of Canada."; and "Contribute to the culture of Canada".
ii. Japanese language school plays the role of a protector of a child. Children generally become influenced with bad activities after school. Japanese children are studying at a Japanese language school after school.
3) Influence of the Japanese society
The Japanese who immigrated to Canada are protected for their lives, properties and honor and can live without worries, just like any other foreigners who immigrated to Canada. Consequently the Japanese are grateful to the country of Canada and its people. Therefore, we try to repay for all these good things given and teach our children to become good Canadian citizens, making contributions to the country of Canada.
Letter to Kazuma Nakayama, dated April 3, 1950 (1996.170.1.14.29)

Thank you letter for receiving a photo of Sato's school mates when they were young. Sato talks about his Japanese language school in Vancouver and writes that the number of students reached 1,000 and the school has a reputation of being the best along the Pacific coast.
"From Vancouver at the time of the Earthquake, October 1923". (1996.170.1.14.31)
"Following is a letter I sent to my teachers and friends when the great earthquakes occurred in Kanto in October 1923.
It was September 1st. It was 9 a.m. Saturday. I had a call from a newspaper company asking, "There are big fires in Yokohama. We cannot find out any more. Do you have photos of Yokohama?" I didn't think much of it at the time, but one day later (September 2nd was Sunday, so there was no newspaper) on September 3rd, in the morning, somebody was shouting "Special Edition! Special Edition!". When I looked, a boy was going around blowing horns with the special edition of newspaper piled up on the bicycle. Since I came to Vancouver, it was the first time I saw a special edition. Just from this, one can imagine how much this disaster shocked the people of the world. I bought a copy, too. The top of the front page had the headline "Tokyo Great Earthquake" using 2" square letters in red.
It was written that, in addition to the large earthquake, there were big fires: 200,000 dead, wounded 500,000, the extend of damages uncertain.........
On September 4, we informed our students of the above disaster. Our students said they wanted to send donations to the poor children in Japan. ... On the same night, the Canadian Japanese Association gathered various organizations and had discussion. First of all, we targeted to collect $50,000, and, on September 6, we sent 50 tons of flour to Japan on a Russian vessel. The donation exceeded the original target quickly, reaching $100,000 and then $130,000. We sent these funds by telegram through the Vancouver Consulate General of Japan. Japanese women's group collected clothes and the donated clothes piled up like mountains in a few days. The women's group also assisted Red Cross by sewing Japanese clothes.
On the Tag Day of Red Cross, the women's group as well as the female graduates of our school stood on the streets selling tags, saying, "Help homeless Japanese, please". The western people were very sympathetic and responded with good will.
Churches and temples held prayer meetings. Thus, regardless of age and gender, we all worked hard with the utmost sincerity for our home country....."
Letter to the parents of students, dated December 22, 1941 (1996.170.1.14.32)
This letter was sent upon closure of the Japanese language school. [Translation] "I truly regret, because of what is happening, we have to close our school that has the long history of 36 years. Looking back, it has been 25 years that I was able to serve at this school. These were the expanding years of the Japanese language school. It was the fulfilling era and the golden age. While I am small and have many faults, I happened to be able to serve in such a glorious time, contributing to the Japanese race as well as to the Canadian culture. I cannot express how fortunate, happy and honored I feel. This is all due to your support and I am truly grateful. I cannot foresee when we are able to re-open this school; therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. Please continue to stay in touch."
Letter dated December 7, 1941. No addressee. (1996.170.1.14.33)
Sato writes that he arrived back at the port of Vancouver on November 1, 4:00 a.m., and thanks for looking after him while he was in Japan. He writes everything was well looked after in Vancouver while he was away. Many people visited his wife during his absence. While it is being reported that the relationship between Japan and the States is worsening, he lives and works peacefully in Vancouver and the school continues to operate.
A postscript is added later stating that: "This letter was posted on December 7th when the Pacific War started. Of course, the letter was not mailed to Japan and was returned."
Letter dated July 22, 1942. No addressee. (1996.170.1.14.34)
This letter was written to a multiple of people as a mid-summer greeting, also notifying his current condition and life at College Height in Lacombe, Alberta.
[Translation of the last section] "I believe everybody in the world is facing difficulties now. There is no place where is no difficulty. Let's not lose heart and try to stay healthy. Let us overcome difficulties and await the bright time to arrive."
Letter dated December, 1942. No addressee. (1996.170.1.14.35)
This letter was written to a multiple of people as a mid-winter greeting. Sato encourages people to think their forced relocation as a step forward. Being dispersed all over Canada means the Japanese people are now using the wide area of the country. Think this as an opportunity. In later years, this would be considered to be the second phase of the Canadian Japanese immigrants.
Letter dated August 8, 1943. No addressee. (1996.170.1.14.36)
This letter was written to a multiple of people describing his life n Alberta.

Sato writes in length how he and his wife devoted themselves for 30 years for the school, and he was the one who fought for the new building to be built. It is a depressing work to look after the sale of school properties. He ends his letter saying that he feels as if he is digging his own grave.

This fonds contains 131
This fonds contain documents compiled by Ann Sunahara in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s regarding the history and treatment of Japanese Canadians in the Second World War for research for her book The Politics of Racism (Lorimer, 1981); the Redress Movement of the 1980s; the administration of settlements from the Canadian government after redress was achieved in 1988 (post-redress); and the movement to replace the War Measures Act with the Emergencies Act during the 1980s.
She volunteered for CUSO (Canadian University Students Overseas) after her older sister, Mary, had volunteered with the organization in Zambia. There, she taught Second Form Science and English in Malaysia, and met David Sunahara. She left the program after a year as she was the victim of an assault. Additionally, she had discovered that there were local teachers who were unemployed because of the presence of volunteers. She then moved to London, Ontario after she returned from Malaysia in September 1970 at David Sunahara’s invitation. She found work as a laboratory technician at the Chemistry department at UWO (University of Western Ontario).
She started researching Japanese Canadian history after Pierre Trudeau had invoked the War Measures Act to combat the Quebec Liberation Front (FLQ) in October 1970. David’s family were interned in Slocan during the Second World War, and as the FLQ crisis unfolded, he mentioned to her that the same actions had been used against Japanese Canadians. She began taking history courses at University of Western Ontario part-time while David Sunahara was getting his MA. In 1975 David started a PhD program in Sociology at the University of Alberta and she began a MA in History at the University of Calgary. The university’s faculty provided her a research grant while studying and a travel grant to do research at the National Archives in Ottawa; government documents pertaining to Japanese Canadian internment had just become available under the 30-year access rules that were then in place. Self-funded visits to David Sunahara’s sister in Vancouver also allowed her to complete research at the University of British Columbia and the Vancouver City Archives. David and Ann worked at the “Learned Societies” events, which gave Ann the scholarly credentials to see archival material unavailable to the general public – including personal materials that cannot be accessed today under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act due to privacy concerns. The Learned Societies events are where she met Gordon Hirabayashi and other Japanese-Canadian sociologists. Gordon was on the faculty of the department where David Sunahara was studying. She was also helped by a thesis supervisor, Howard Palmer, and by Roger Daniels, an expert on the Japanese American experience, who had a sabbatical at the University of Calgary while she was doing her studies. When she completed her thesis, she realized it mainly consisted of government documents from Ottawa, and resources from the Japanese Canadian community were missing from her analysis.
She applied for, and received, a Canada Council Explorations Grant and spent six months travelling across Canada interviewing Japanese Canadians and researching archives in 1976 (and 1977). During her research, she met influential Japanese Canadians such as Thomas Shoyama, Kay Shimizu, Gordon Hirabayashi, George and Kinzie Tanaka, and other various long-time Japanese Canadian Citizens' Association members. She then worked at a variety of jobs in historical research and government before publishing The Politics of Racism in 1981. After writing her book, she went to law school for her legal education. Her book was published at the beginning of her second year in law.
In 1984, she became an articling student at the Alberta Court of Appeal and with an Edmonton law firm. By the early 1990s, she was working at Justice Canada in the Acts and Regulations division. Although she requested not to be assigned to the Gulf War emergency draft team, her supervisor asked that she provide the drafters with a copy of The Politics of Racism and National Association of Japanese Canadians materials to prepare the team for recognizing problematic laws.
Sunahara obtained the publishing rights to The Politics of Racism in the late 1980s, after Lorimer went bankrupt. After purchasing the remaining 25 copies and the publishing contract, she created a copy with an updated chapter on redress for online access. The book can be viewed at www.japanesecanadianhistory.ca. She also intended to donate copyright of the book and the website to the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre in 2016.
As Sunahara was not Japanese Canadian herself, she refrained from giving an opinion on what compensation should include during the redress campaign. However, she was active in the movement to replace the War Measures Act. In 1987, she tested the government’s proposed new act, the Emergencies Act, and produced a report from which the government adopted 65 amendments before enacting the new law. In 1988, after redress was achieved, Sunahara was employed by Justice Canada in Ottawa. There she specialized in health protection and consumer safety law. She retired in 2007.
David Sunahara completed his doctorate in sociology at the University of Alberta in 1980. He was then employed by the Law Enforcement Division of the Alberta Solicitor General as a researcher and policy analyst. In 1989, he left to become a civilian member of the RCMP. He then became a research officer at the Canadian Police College. He has published numerous articles on police ethics, strategic planning, alternate dispute resolution, and Japanese Canadian history. Throughout their marriage, David has actively supported Ann’s research and work for the NAJC.
This biographical sketch adapted its materials from a two-parts interview (June 23 and July 14, 2016) of the Greater Vancouver Japanese Canadian Citizens Association’s The Bulletin and the Canada-Japan Society of Ottawa’s membership biography.
The digital copies of the records were acquired by the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective between 2014 and 2018.

This file contains documents from the Department of State of the United States between the period of 1940-1944.
From the National Archives description of the file:
On this microfilm publication are reproduced the purport lists for the decimal file of the Department of State, 1910-44. The purport lists (lists of documents) are a subject index to the records that form the central files of the Department for the period.
Documents in the decimal file include instructions to and depatches from diplomatic and consular representatives in the United Stated, memorandums prepared by officials of the Department, and correspondence with officials of other Government departments and with private firms and persons.
Several portions of the decimal file deserve special mention. Although the decimal filing system was designed to accommodate every aspect of State Department business, the voluminous quantity or records created during World War I and World War II resulted in several unique files. Records relating to World War I and its termination are in the file category for political relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia (763.72). Similar documents for World War II were placed in various subdivisions of the general category 740~0011, political relations of European states. Most of the documents relating to the course of the war were placed in file categories 740.0011 European War 1939 and 740.0011 Pacific War. Records relating to the settlement of the war are found in 740.00119. Many decimal files were subdivided by adding words after the file number and before the slant mark, such as "European War 1939."
Notes:
The decimal file consists of nine primary classes numbered 0 through 8, each covering a broad subject area: (0) general and miscellaneous; (1) the administration of the U.S. Government, including the Department of State and the Foreign Service; (2) the negotiation, application, and interpretation of extradition treaties and individual extradition cases; (3) the protection of private and national interests; (4) the negotiation, application, and interpretation of treaties on claims and individual claims cases; (5) international organizations; (6) commerce, customs administration, and trade agreements; (7) political relations of states, including diplomatic and consular representation and bilateral treaties, conventions, and agreements; and (8) internal affairs of states. Subjects were further defined within each class and identified by a decimal file number. This number may be followed by a slant mark (/), which is followed by another number. The numbers after the slant mark were assigned to individual documents as they were accumulated on a specific subject and indicate the number of documents in the file on that subject. Within several of the primary classes the documents were arranged by country. Each U.S. consulate was similarly assigned a three-digit number. A detailed explanation of the decimal filing system, as modified after 29 years of use, is found in the 4th edition of the State Department’s Classification of Correspondence (Washington, 1939), available on National Archives and Records Service (NARS) Microfilm Publication M600. Parts of this manual have been reproduced in condensed form as appendixes in the descriptive pamphlet for this microfilm publication.

“Dear Friends:
The words "thank you" will never adequately express the true sentiment of the gratitude we felt upon receiving your kind message of goodwill and the generous gifts of tobaccos and other assorted articles. Furthermore when we consider the fact that all of you in the ghost towns are going through greater hardships and privations than what has been our lot, our gratitude knows no bounds.
However I am sure there are many of you who have either their families or friends in this internment camp, and it may relieve them to a certain extent to know that we are all faring well and in high spirits.
In conclusion I should like to avail myself of this opportunity of conveying our greetings to you all with the most sincere wishes for your health and happiness.”

The collection consists of a washboard belonging to Tom Yamaura that was used by his family during the internment period in Ontario. Before the internment, his family had a washing machine but being forced to leave their house and things, they had very little money and so had to use this washboard to launder their clothes.
