Naotaro and Tsuruko, My Issei Parents - Part 1

By Roy T. Ito

Naotaro Ito was born in 1886 as a second son to a rice farming family in Kitsuneji, a tiny rural hamlet in Aiichi Prefecture, near Nagoya, Japan. He received a basic elementary education then was sent to a bicycle shop merchant to serve as an apprentice in his early teens since only the eldest son was slated to inherit the farm, according to long standing custom (primogeniture).

Visit to Amache

Chapter Three—Let’s Make a Deal
By Naomi Hirahara

read chapter two

Every since I turned 35 (two years ago), everyone has treated me differently. During every holiday dinner, my parents and my younger brother with his wife and two kids look at me pitifully, as if my expiration date has long passed. I’m no longer part of the cool 21-34 crowd on surveys and marathon categories, I’m now part of the 35-44-year-old crowd. Even bag boys call me ma’am and offer to carry my groceries to my car—what are they thinking—that maybe I drive a Super Stock Dodge, the classic Little Ole Lady from Pasadena wheels?

Starting a New Farm

Starting a farm operation from scratch in the San Luis Valley is a very difficult task at best. The growing season is short and the crops require extra personal care. Add to this, the time is the middle of February 1942 and all of the established farms are already rented out by this time.

En el Perú, con mucho gusto

El japonés que conquistó al Perú con su sazón
Por Yamato Icochea Oshima

Toshiro Konishi es todo un personaje. Ha paseado su arte por todo el mundo, y sin embargo no pierde la sencillez y cortesía con que llegó hace más de 30 años al Perú. Ésta es la crónica del encuentro de nuestro redactor con el notable y recordado “Achicaprecio*”.
