Content: These Japanese had been displaced from their homes by the  ending of the Tokugawa shogunate and the restoration of the Meiji emperor. Followers of lord Matsudaira Katamori established the 600-acre Wakamatsu  Tea and Silk Farm Colony on the Sacramento River at Placerville. The  colony failed in less than two years because the mulberry trees and tea  seedlings perished in the dry California soil. A few of the settlers  returned to Japan while the rest drifted away from the colony seeking new  beginnings. Such were the origins of the first-generation Japanese ( Issei ) on Hawaiian and American shores. EFFORTS TO BAN JAPANESE IMMIGRATION
The U. S. Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, prohibiting  further Chinese immigration. In 1886, Hawaii and Japan signed a labor  convention that led to large numbers of Japanese contract workers in  Hawaii and student laborers in California. The increase of Japanese in  California gave rise to an anti-Japanese movement and a 1906 San Francisco  school board order segregating Japanese American students. Ninety-three  students of Japanese ancestry and a number of Korean students were ordered  to attend the school for Chinese. The Japanese government was insulted.
