Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan in New York, 1908 We have long been realizing the urgent necessity of a publication which would serve as a record and a guide to the development of the Japanese in this city and its vicinity, but our inadequate facility and the lack of the Japanese here did not warrant us in such an undertaking. Today, however, with a Japanese population of more than three thou sand in this part of the United States, we feel it incumbent 011 us to assume such a step lest it becomes too long neglected. This motive has prompted us to publish the Japan in New York, which, however small, will give a brief history of the organization of each Japanese institution, agency, store and the individual work, both in the English as well as in the Japanese languages. The work of gathering data having only been started a month ago, coupled with the inadequate facilities of our publication department, has, we are sorry to say, prevented us from accomplishing more thorough and valuable work. We, however, shall not neglect to improve and better this little book in its future issue, until it can be recognized as one of the indispensables of the Japanese and Americans interested in things Japanese. The Japanese section contains nearly a hundred items, while the English section only includes thirty - eight. Which we selected as likely to prove interesting to our English readers, to whom we also offer several articles written by prominent gentlemen in this country. We also supplement the book with the constitution of the Nippon Club as a representative Japanese club in this city, and a directory con taining some one hundred and eighty Japanese residents here. This selection out of thirty hundred is made for no other reason than that they are perhaps more widely known.
