Episode 3 – Picture Brides
from Sounds Japanese Canadian To Me · host Nichola Ogiwara
Picture brides were the early twentieth-century's version of extreme online dating. Japanese men living in Canada would exchange pictures with a Japanese woman back in Japan. Once a match was struck, the woman would marry the man by proxy in Japan and then sail to Canada to meet her husband for the very first time. Talk about intense. The post Episode 3 – Picture Brides appeared first on Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre.
