“such an interesting slice of Japanese Vancouver history (of which there is so much!). Reminds of a cemetery i came across in forgotten rural washington (near Pe ELL) – apparently, Japanese folks came there to work at lumber mills in early 1900s and were in demand as workers as they would work on Sundays but ostracized by other cultures. This burial site holds many secrets and memories.”
[from my notebook when someone sent me notes about evidence of the Japanese community and the North Shore mountains of Vancouver area (for which I should include a link but hey I’m just tidying up… ]
and there’s another post about the same cemetery on another visit somewhere in this archive, also a Japanese garden on Mayne Island, Salish Sea – i oughta put links
