San Francisco Port of the end of 19th century equal to the last years of Meiji era. From the immigrant ship which arrived from Japan, four Japanese young men went ashore in the United States.
Because pronunciation was particular about an American as for the Japanese name, the Japanese emigrant at the time often had a common name of the local wind. Four people introduce themselves as "Charlie" "Frank" "Fred" including "Henry" of the painter choice according to the custom each. I have hope and it was them over the New World, but, from the difference in lack and custom of the command of English, I fail in sequence and am discharged from a workplace and repeat hard fights. Sometimes I read a newspaper article conveying a Japanese big win of the Sea of Japan sea fight and am absorbed in deep emotion and, based on San Francisco earthquake in 1906, World War I application for citizenship acquisition of the United States of America, the experience of the author about the historical fact including the establishment of the anti-Japanese sentiment Immigration Act, hang four fate for the change of the Japan-U.S. relationship again and change. The story obtains a farm and greengrocery after an effort, and Frank is over with Charlie and Fred who get married, and built the base in the field, Henry who decided, on the other hand, to go back to Japan in a scene regretting parting in a port.
The Japanese emigrant like Charlie and Fred forfeits all real estate and assets including a store and the farm which I obtained through hardships for many years locally with this later Japan-U.S. outbreak of war if based on a historical fact and will be sent to the concentration camp of the Japanese-person. However, I am not described in this work after the war in the history for the wartime of the Japanese emigrant because an author went back to Japan before the outbreak of war.
