日裔美国人的秘鲁先辈

I have been helping the Japanese Latin American community push for redress, but now it looks like I have Japanese Peruvian ancestors as well (although not one who experienced extraordinary rendition). A researcher I met during my research trip to Brazil in 2018 just sent some more info on one of my grandfather's cousins, Seiji Tazitu. His story should be made into a Hollywood movie! As I learn more and more details about my own family, I realize how interconnected we all are. Be sure to do oral histories of your family elders today!

A long time ago, you sent me an email asking if I could find something about Mr. Seiji Tajitsu, who had crossed the Brazilian border from the Peruvian side. Apart from the material that I had shared with you when I was still living in Brazil (which was largely obtained from sources related to the Kagoshima Prefectural Association), I kept digging through similar books but I found nothing. However, while reading another book for unrelated purposes, I came across something that might be of interest to you and your Brazilian Tajitsu/Tazitu relatives. The book is titled The Japanese in the Amazon area [Amazon hojin hatten shi], and was penned by the same Shigeji Ikeda who wrote that history of the people from Kagoshima in Brazil that I had sent you years ago.
The passage translates as follows:
PEOPLE WHO TRAVERSED THE AMAZON AND ENDED UP IN SÃO PAULO STATE
[...] In 1918, Seijitsu [sic] Tajitsu (a native of Goryo, Ei County, Kagoshima), then aged twenty years old, immigrated to Peru aboard the Anyo-maru. After five years changing places frequently, he finally found himself at home in Riberalta, and from there he managed to reach Manaus by following the Madeira river. He then spent seven years in Manaus harvesting vegetables, which he sold to the townspeople as an ambulant vendor. Manaus was struck by severe hardship after the rubber fever had passed, and Tajitsu decided to resettle in São Paulo state after raising the bare minimum needed to relocate. He succeeded as a merchant in the city of Presidente Bernardes and later moved to the state capital, while also shifting his business to the industrial sector.
I also tried to look up for the surname “Tajitsu” in the Pioneros database ( https://dji.jomm.jp/es/search.php0, which provides data from Japanese immigrants to Peru. It shows a person called Nariharu Tajitsu (田実成治). Considering that this database contains many discrepancies between the reading and the original Japanese spelling (data is compiled from the records kept by the Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, and the reading is added later by university students), I assume that this is indeed your relative (成治 is strikingly similar to 誠治, and both can be read as “Seiji”). His origin is given as Fukushima prefecture, which I cannot account for, but the database gives his birthday as March 1st, 1898 (which is accurate), and states that he arrived in Peru in November 27th, 1918, aboard the Anyo-maru (which matches the information from Shigeji Ikeda’s books). He was sent to the Esquivel farm upon arrival. I wasn’t able to track anything further in the Peruvian sources.
