<p>A century ago thousands of Japanese workers began arriving in Hawaii, bringing their customs with them. Hawaii's citizens were charmed by these new arrivals and even the Hawaiian Princess Kaiulani (right) dressed up for a photograph in kimono and geta. Her uncle, King Kalakaua, once dreamed of marrying Kaiulani to a Japanese prince and forming a Japan-Hawaii alliance. That never happened, but the Japanese workers who came here - the Kanyaku Imin- eventually helped transform the Kingdom of Hawaii into an American state gov-erned by an immigrant's son. Today, the Japanese are Hawaii's second largest ethnic group and you can see their influence everywhere from sugar fields to Boys Day carp that wave in an afternoon breeze. In Kanyaku Imin, A Hundred Years of Japanese Life in Hawaii, you will discover 160 pages of thoughtful essays and beautiful images by some of Hawaii's finest writers, artists and photographers. This complex team has worked together to produce a special history of Hawaii's Japanese. They have brought to life the people who worked their way from the plantations to leadership positions through-out this special land we call Hawaii.</p>
