Yoko's Paper Cranes by Rosemary Wells5/24/2023 To earn the money, large numbers of Japanese men found work in Hawaii in the pineapple and sugar cane plantations and from there, migrated to the mainland.įollowing in the wake of the Chinese immigrants marked the Japanese immigrants as a part of that group, and resulted in a negative attitude towards the Japanese immigrants almost immediately and this negative attitude lasted for more than 50 years. Those families including my own, they were forced to buy back their own lands as some of their lost lands included sacred family burial grounds. The old feudal system of titled landowners has abruptly stripped away, and the daimyo domains of titled landowners were turned into prefectures. Changes in Japan during the Meiji Restoration from 1868 to 1912 wrought great changes in Japan as the country tried to modernize. The story of Japanese immigration is also true for my own family history.
