Reaching the peak of her madness, Oshige desperately wanted to find out their secret meeting place, which was referred to as the Chinese house. She posted a reward of twenty five dollars for finding it out. However, even the devils in the interior, who like things that normal people do not, would not dare to […]

Attitude of Police Authority (cont’d) Police in Cranbrook also have a relatively tolerant attitude. However, unlike Nelson they would not cause trouble for straight business people from outside. Nelson is an exception. However, Cranbrook sometimes has conflicts between caves and straight fellows. This is something that Nelson does not have. It seems the conflicts have […]

The western restaurant in Cranbrook where Nakagawa was working was temporarily managed by Kagawa, who had a relationship with Oshichi. But there is another western restaurant in the city. In 1908, there was a waiter called Taguchi in this restaurant. As a straight person he was diligent back then just like the early Nakagawa, but […]

Attitude of Police Authority (cont’d) Once one steps into Alberta, one notices that the police attitude is completely different. In fact, the situation of the caves located within the cities is not so different from that in BC, because they are regulated by the city police. However, those located outside the city, Calgary, for instance, […]

Some time passed since then and an unspoken tolerance of the redlight district was formed again. That happened about three years ago, and it attracted Makihara and Tsukino. Traveling in haste, Makihara brought Otori and Tsukino brought Okinu from Cranbrook. In addition, Kagawa came with his wife from Calgary, and Yamamura’s Okei also came. As […]

Attitude of Police Authority (cont’d) Now the reader should have a general understanding of the police attitudes toward caves. What I want to add here is a special situation of Calgary. That is, its situation with respect to the syphilis examination. Prostitutes in Calgary are required by police to take a syphilis examination every month. […]
No.27 (April 1, 1912)
Currently, there is no single prostitute cave owned by the Japanese in Edmonton. However, there are many western restaurants where waitresses are all doing the “fuzzy” businesses, which makes the situation the same in the end. These types of western restaurants are currently owned by four men, including Makihara, Asami, Kubota and Ashida. Kigawa quit […]

Backgrounds of Prostitutes I am going to write about the backgrounds of prostitutes. However, it is impossible to list the background of every single prostitute in the interior and even if that was possible I would not be able to bear the amount of work to be required. Therefore, in this section I will provide […]

Nelson It has already been four years since Jinzaburō Kawamoto, nickname Chabujin, left Nelson for Japan. Tamekichi Shiraishi left last June, and Inada left last August. After Shiraishi left, his house was handed over to Omachi and Omichi in return for being burdened for a long time with their work at his house. But currently […]

Backgrounds of Prostitutes (cont’d) There is a good example of those who were deceived and brought from Japan. This is also a miserable case. There is a prostitute called Okiyo, 17 or 18 years old, who is currently at Terada’s cave in Nelson but used to work in Calgary. Two or three years ago, a […]
