COLLECTION PROVENANCE & ARRANGEMENT
The 179 images and Japanese titles with basic descriptions were gifted to the Japan Collection by the Nippon Rikkokai in DVDs early 2000. Permission has been granted to share the images via the UHM Library Image site. No manipulation was applied to jpeg images except adjusting sizes. The main images are lives of Japanese immigrants to Brazil in 19th and early 20th centuries. The titles provided by the Nippon Rikkokai have been kept as much as possible. When new or revised titles were supplied, they are expressed in brackets [ ]. English translations to the titles were made by the project team.
PHYSICAL STORAGE:The original magic lantern slides are at the Nippon Rikkokai, Tokyo Japan. DVDs are stored in the Asia Locked Press on the 4th Floor.
FUNDING SUPPORT: The project was funded by the UHM Library and partially funded by the National Research Center, East Asia grant.
