From the Inside Flap:

The Issei Pioneers: Hawaii and the Mainland, 1885-1924 catalogue accompanies the Japanese American National Museum's inaugural exhibit which focuses on the early immigration and settlement years of the Issei, the first generation of Japanese immigrants in the United States. The catalogue examines the world of the Issei by using the artifacts that appear in the exhibit to tell the story of the courageous "Issei Pioneers" who left their homeland to settle in a new country.
