Pearl diver in his diving suit Thursday Island, 1932

  How the legacy of Japanese pearl divers is being preserved in the Torres Strait The descendants of Japanese pearl divers in the Torres Strait are coming together for Obon, Japan's day of the dead, to remember the contribution of their forebears to an industry that claimed hundreds of lives. Seventy-five years ago, hundreds of Japanese pearl divers were deported from Australia at the end of World War II after being interned as enemy aliens. It largely ended a then-lucrative industry in Queensland’s Torres Strait and one that claimed the lives of hundreds of seasonal workers. Advertisement Tomitaro “Tommy” Fujii is one of the most famous pearl divers of the Torres Strait. He came to Australia in 1925, survived the industry, and was one of those allowed to stay on after the war. His children are now preserving the legacy of their father and the many other divers like him. This week, the family - and other descendants - will mark Obon, a Buddhist ceremony honoring the dead, as well as the economic and social contribution of what was once Australia’s largest Japanese community. Tommy's grave, which has a headstone in the Torres Strait's regional capital Thursday Island, stands in stark contrast to the hundreds of other Japanese divers who died on the job.

  trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779833 - similar pic of this chap in the NLA's Fairfax Collection. I gather this pic was taken at Victoria Barracks, in Sydney, on 11th February, 1926, when officers from the Staff Corps entertained officers from the visiting Japanese cruiser HIJMS Iwate at a tennis party. This chap also appears here...this pic was published in the Sydney Daily Telegraph on 12th February, 1926 (see pic lower lhs) trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844234 www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/7258625606/in/datep...
