The arrival of her grandpa (Spanish)
(Spanish) The story that really hits me is that of my grandfather who came [here to Argentina] alone on a ship at eighteen years of age. His mother sent him to search for his brother who had already arrived. And he came with only an address [where] his brother lived. It was understood that his parents and brothers were dying. He returned to Japan only after many in his family had passed away. There were nieces and nephews and a few brothers and sisters who were living, but his parents, for example, had died.
