Interviews
Returning Argentina after the war (Spanish)
(Spanish) We were unable to leave Japan at all. But it [so] happened that after World War II, a Peronist committee formed in Japan. It was Ogawa [or] Okawa who was with Perón. Through his [assistance], all the Nisei came to Argentina for free, everything was free, in a distinct manner, but they all came. We were the first [Japanese] who left Yokohama. The Issei began to come as Yobiyose. Yobiyose [were those] relative who were responsible for you. Therefore, yes, they [the Japanese] increased afterward. But when the [transport] services of the Dutch ships began, in Oranda Sen, many [Japanese] came in large numbers.
