No.30 (December 23, 1908)
Backgrounds of Prostitutes (cont’d) Okiyo’s family, that is, Mikawaya in Kanbara, keep mailing magazines for female students, such as World of Women’s Studies and Women’s Literature, every month to the boarding school for their daughter. This is understandable. They sent off their dearest daughter to the far sky of Canada and are always wishing for […]
No.31 (December 24, 1908)
Import of Prostitutes The single most important element of the cave business is, of course, prostitutes themselves. Even if nefariously skilled devils acquire great properties for caves, get expensive equipment lined up and purchase a great amount of alcohol from a wholesale store, they would not be able to secure a source of easy income […]
No.32 (December 26, 1908)
Import of Prostitutes (cont’d) The most commonly used immigration strategy for women who come to this country for the purpose of prostitution is to obtain someone else’s visa and migrate as a substitute. Some visas are for first-time entry and others are for re-entry. In some cases, they misuse spousal visas. These visas are all […]
No.29 (April 3, 1912)
Macleod and others Macleod is located in the south of Calgary, which is showing steady development lately in the Province of Alberta along the CPR train line. There are a limited number of the Japanese who live there and there is nothing worth commenting on in terms of enterprises or jobs centred around the Japanese. […]
No.36 & No.37 (Missing)
No. 36 and No. 37 are missing from UBC’s Tairiku Nippō Open Collection. The following story is retrieved from Brothels in Canada (Tairiku Nippō, 1909). Regarding forged visas, there was an incident in which Shimokawa, the head clerk at Kantarō Imoto’s inn in Yokohama, was involved. This was brought up to the Court of Appeal […]
No.33 (December 28, 1908)
Import of Prostitutes (Cont’d) Detective Nakamura, Yoshida, and Sugabe are famous for recruiting prostitutes as I mentioned earlier. But devils in the interior also spoke of Senjirō Kawanaka, originally from Oita Prefecture, as an advisor in this field. He is a returnee from the United States, an economist who has served as an instructor of […]
No.30 (April 4, 1912)
Three or four years ago, Nelson, Cranbrook, and Calgary were very vibrant, but currently, Nelson is not as successful as before; Cranbrook is deserted; and Calgary is not as vibrant. You should be able to imagine generally how they are doing, based on what I wrote about the western-restaurant-on-the-surface-type, which has been at its zenith […]
No.34 (December 29, 1908)
Import of Prostitutes (cont’d) As it would be too troublesome to write down the traveling route of every single prostitute who is currently in the interior, I focus on a few cases and leave the rest to the reader’s imagination. Let me give you a few examples. Michi Kawada, who died at Takeshi Satō’s in […]
No.38 (January 5, 1909)
Calculation of Interests Let me say a few words before I move on to this section. Since we started this series, Exploration of Devil Caves, we have received a mountain of letters from all over the interior regarding the topic, and they are piled up on our desk. We receive at least two or three […]
No.31 (April 5, 1912)
To briefly mention, Golden currently has one devil cave run by the Japanese; Revelstoke has two; and Kamloops has two. Golden has two prostitutes; and Revelstoke has four. Police authorities strictly prohibit the Japanese from visiting Japanese caves in Revelstoke, just like how it was three, four years ago. Current Situations in General I […]
