[Six Japanese-language San Francisco Newspapers, 1893-5]
Six newspapers, each 4pp, pages each approx 410 x 280mm (16 x 11"). Folded.
Includes copies of 'The San Francisco' and 'The New World', as well as articles, the newspapers contain cartoons and adverts. Following the 1868 Meiji Restoration in Japan small numbers of Japanese immigrants started journeying to the west coast of the USA in hopes of a better life, however, it wasn't until 1885 that Japanese immigrants started arriving in large numbers. The immigration of the Japanese was encouraged by the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act which barred new Chinese immigrants from entering the country which forced large business owners to look to Japan for cheap labour. Large port towns such as San Francisco attracted the highest numbers of immigrants. Newspapers and magazines such as these contained information from both Japan and the rest of the USA and were distributed around California.
