is ono that cannot bo erased or whitewashed.
The story of the Japanese in British Columbia, of all tho groups in the pro­
vince, is easily the most dramatic, and disturbing in its ramifications. It would
tako a rather fat volume to tell all the stormy story, a story that is unparalleled
in Canadian history. No attempt is made here to cover all tho details; in this
brief length, this is but a study of broad movements and developments.
No
attempt, too, is made to raise moral judgments; the facts, as given horo, should
stand up.
The story of British Columbia's Japanese Canadians is unique. Withal,'they
had their loves and lusts, thoir strengths and weaknesses, thoir long days of
loneliness and fear. Many have gone eastward after tho storm, novor to return;
others have come back. But for all. tho roaring sound of rivers, tho rustle of
autumn leaves underfoot, the strange music *of an ombattled street, tho giant
timber reaching skyward presaging a promiso, remain in the mind's oye. Tho
memories of the long years are both good and bad.

The Arrival: The story of the Japanese in B.C. begins with the
arrival of a small number of immigrants, following upon the emerg­
ence of Japan into the modern world from its feudal cocoon in 1867.
Around 1884, small numbers of Japanese began to arrive in B.C.,
though for a decade, only about l,00Q. Japanese were in Canada. It
was from’1896 onwards, that immigration began on a significant
scale, and they came in ever-increasing waves until by the turn, of
