Remembering the Karayuki-san

Very interesting article about remembering the Karayuki-san, the Japanese prostitutes who worked in Singapore in the early years of the 20th century. The piece takes the perspective of young Japanese women working in Singapore. It interviews Kazuo Sugino, the head of the Japanese Association in Singapore. If you don't know about the Karayuki-san, you must read our book, by James Warren.
