Foreign-born Japanese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia No law forbids a foreign-born Japanese to be elected as a member of Diet (as Tsurunen Marutei in fact became one), thus in theory he may become the Prime Minister of Japan. A foreign-born Japanese is a person who was originally born outside Japan and later acquired Japanese citizenship. Unlike some countries where people born natively are automatically given a citizenship, many who are born and live in Japan permanently, particularly Korean and Chinese, tend to maintain their citizenship. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Foreign-born_Japanese   (285 words)

Akira Fujimoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Born in Poland as Wiesław Romanowski, he became a Japanese citizen. This sensational spy story swept over Japanese newspapers in 1987 with titles like "The Shadow of the KGB in the center of Tokyo" (the headquarters of the company were in the Toshima-ku district of Tokyo). This fact was the base of allegations in industrial espionage, because the counter-intelligence section of the Japanese police had found it impossible to believe that such an advanced software had been produced in Poland. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Akira_Fujimoto   (328 words)

Marutei Tsurunen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Marutei Tsurunen (ツルネン マルテイ or 弦念 丸呈 Tsurunen Marutei, born April 30, 1940) is the first foreign-born Japanese member of the Diet of Japan. It was not until he met his future wife, Sachiko, in 1974 that he became enamored with the country and decided to become Japanese, gaining his citizenship in 1979 and taking on a Japanese language version of his Finnish language name. Four unsuccessful campaigns later, and after writing another book called I Want to Be Japanese, Tsurunen finally entered the House of Councillors in 2002, after the resignation of Kyosen Ohashi. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Marutei_Tsurunen   (250 words)

L.A. Daily News - News Because many of the foreign-born Japanese clandestinely leased land through a third party, a lot of the documentation of their agricultural contributions has been lost. From the 1920s through the 1940s, reports say foreign-born Japanese simply could not own land because they were considered a threat. During that period, even American-born residents with Japanese ancestry gravitated toward farming, in part because their techniques, such as truck farming, enabled them to earn twice the amount of money of their Anglo counterparts on half the land. www.dailynews.com /Stories/0,1413,200~20954~2239231,00.html   (991 words)

California Japanese Send Funds to Aid Nippon War Chest -1942 Japanese language schools, he said, were centers of subversive teaching. “The Japanese school teachers and other leaders of that group,” he said, “had the brazen effrontery to try to operate classes even after Pearl Harbor, although their text books were un-American and they taught the Mikado’s ideology.

The Internment and Relocation of Japanese-Americans - Anica Meller Japanese Americans were trying very hard to declare themselves as loyal citizens and aliens, yet, their pledges of loyalty stood ignored by the U.S. government.

Eisenhower estimated that 50 percent of the Issei (foreign born Japanese) are "passively loyal" to the United States and that from 80 to 85 percent of the Nisei who have never been out of the United States are loyal.

A Psychosocial Analysis of Japanese-American Internment At the turn of the century, there were slightly over twenty-four thousand Japanese in America, 95% foreign-born. Although persons of Japanese parentage owned less than two percent of all farms in California, by 1941, en masse they produced ninety percent of strawberries, seventy-three percent of snap beans, seventy-five percent of celery and fifty percent of tomatoes. The Japanese sayings of Shikata ga nai ("It cannot be helped) and gaman ("endurance and emotional restraint") imply that victims cannot control fate and should stoically acquiesce to rather than actively challenge the government's actions. www.geocities.com /internment_info/Psychosocial/psychosocial.html   (3476 words)

Army announcement that in a few "special merit" cases, American citizens of Japanese ancestry were being permitted to return to restricted areas of the Pacific coast, brought a rising storm of protest from state and local officials and from veterans' groups in several California communities Friday, the United Press reported from Sacramento. Phillips and other sources agreed that the Japanese will be returned under various pretexts which evade the army's original evacuation order, but that the movement will be so large as to restore virtually the entire west coast Japanese population long before the war with Japan ends. www.santacruzpl.org /history/ww2/9066/articles/rp/44/11-17.shtml   (737 words)

Gen Kanai weblog: Japanese International marriages I am very surprise with the data, especially the significant figure of Korean-Japanese marriage, and the Japanese born Korean population.

Workforce:We're not in Kansas anymore - Computerworld Still, with less than 1% of their population foreign-born, many Japanese are reticent in their dealings with foreigners, says Susan, a public information officer at the Japanese Consulate in Boston, who's lived and worked in Japan.

Her challenge was to figure out how to have a productive working relationship with the 200 Japanese men reporting to her. www.computerworld.com /printthis/1998/0,4814,34167,00.html   (1086 words)

Amazon.com: Books: Japanese Buddhism: A Cultural History The result, as the Japanese embraced this new, foreign-born religion, was a centuries long "chemical reaction" between religion and culture. Japanese Buddhism examines how the religion shaped the people-with their own rich history-even as the people shaped the religion, with the result that Japanese Buddhism is unique in the world today. Delving deeply into the interplay between Buddhism and Japanese poetry, literature and even politics, this book is an invaluable addition to our understanding of Japan, Buddhism and the complex relationship between the two. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/4333016843?v=glance   (521 words)
