PROFILE: GEORGE AZUMANO, LONGTIME PORTLAND JACLER

Insurance Agent, Travellmpressario to Publisher PORTLAND. ORE.

George Ichlro Azumano found­ed what became a multi-million­

doJJar Portland travel company that has dive lfied into publi hing and reaJ-etate development which, he ay , he more or Ie tumbled into

the bu ine by accident 40 years ago. He was being interviewed by Ken Hamburg of the Oregonian ju t before Chri lmas.

At the time (1949), Azumano op­erated a mall insurance agency that catered to Portland' Japane e com­munity from a torefront office in the old Chinatown area on orthwe t Third Avenue off Bum ide !reet.

A Japane e American began to vi it Japan. many of them turned to Azumano, their tru ted in urance agent, for help in making the nece -ary arrangements. "George was kind of an emi ary be­

tween the Japane e community and the White world," recalled Bill Naito, another prominent Ni el bu me man who has known Azu­mano for years aito aid that many member of the community de­pended on Azumano for quasi-legal ervice , such as interpreting laws

and wntmg wills, becau e "he was older and a college graduate."

Did It Free at First Azumano saId that he assisted

many of hI clients with travel ar­rangements for free. But he oon realized he had the beginning of a booming bu ine .

Azumano Travel Service , which

has celebrated its 40th anniversary. has ince gro~ n into a $48 mil1ion-a-year busin with 160 employees.

In addition to the headquarter of­fices in the Oregon Pioneer Building. the company operat five retail travel outlets throughout the Portland metropolitan area, and h regional office in eattle, Denver and At­lanta. It aI 0 maintain a liai on of­fice in Kobe, Japan.

And although Azumano till holds hi Iicen e as an in urance agent, travel ervices now account for about 90% of his annual bu ine re­venue.

Azumano' Other Businesses Azumano' affiliated bu ine es

include: Ove=s Courier ervice. ships daily

newspapers and documenlS from Japan 10 the U.S • Pacific Galeway. a wholesale travel agency; and Pacific Galeway Publication ' Inc., publisher of two Japanese-language gUides: Oregon Trail Magazine and Col­orado Magcdlle

Pacific Gateway Publication re­cently announced it will tart a new magazine, Portland Life & Business. 10 March.

Azumano and hi on-in-Iaw, Sho Dozono, who i pre ident and chief executive officer of Azumano Travel Service . al 0 are partners in a propo ed $7 million golf course and re idential project planned in Bend.

A Grocer' Son Azumano' father, owned a malIJa­

pane e grocery tore 10 outheast Port­land before the war and as pre ident of the Japane e Grocers A ociation, et the example for civic ervice.

"He alway ad vi ed me, 'If you live in a community, you hould return omething to the commumty,'"

Azumano recalled. Azumano. who was born 10 Port­

land. graduated 10 1940 from the Unt-

versity of Oregon, where he tudied busin and foreign trade. in the fall of 1942, Azumano and his family were interned at Minidoka. Idaho. where they were kept until 1946.

bortl after he returned to Portland. Azumano set up hop a "one-man sal force" for Occid ntal Life In ur­ance Co.

on-in-Law DOWDO Joins Dozono, who was born in Japan.

came to the United tate in 1954, when he was 10 years old. He was teaching at Grant High chool in Portland in 1976 when Azumano asked him to take over the In urance ide of the busine .

Azumano i 71 , till goes to hi office in downtown Portland every

day, but he has turned over the day-to­day operation to Dozono.

Azumano defers mo t bu ine mat­ters to Dozono whom he credits for much of the company' rapid growth m recent years.

Dozono for hi part, ay Azumano had the foresight to realize the potential of the travel bu ine .

"The travel indu try LS till at a begin­mng stage," Dozono aid, nottng that bu ine travelers, who u ed to lap acro the country, are now flying around the world

"By the year 2000, travel will be the large t indu try m the world," he pre­dicted. He intend that Azumano Travel

ervice will be well po itioned to take advantage of that growth.

aito al 0 aid Dozono, who worked for him as a tock clerk everal years ago. deserve much of the credit for he company' ucce , aymg Dozon~ has an "entrepreneurial pui!" that mcely counterbalance Azumano' more con-ervative nature.

RIP: Mas Ogawa

FROM THE FRYING PAN

BILL HOSOKAW A

M asaru Ogawa died in Tokyo late last month at age 74. Hi name i unknown to rno t Japanese American , but he was a

Ni ei who had akeyroJe in po twar Japan' understanding of the U.S. Presentism: A Worthless Exercise?

Born and reared in Lo AngeJe, he tudied at UCLA and Columbia University before moving to Japan with hi parents a few years before the outbreak of war. He was with the Japane e Domei New Agency in the Philippine at war' end. Not long after the

urrender he joined the Japan Time, then as now Japan' leading Engli h language new paper

Ogawa became managing editor in 1957, executive editor in 1959, chief editorial writer in 1969, and was editor in c1uef from 1971 to 1977. Since then, he had wnrten a widely read column,

Our Times, which commented on world and national affrurs. Many Japanese read the Times largely for Ogawa' 10 ights into Ameri a.

A gentle man of Flastaffian girth, Ogawa enjoyed convivial se Ions at Tokyo' Foreign Corre pondents Club where new paper­

men from many nation gather. They could depend on Ogawa to ex~lain complexitie in Japan' foreign policy or political y tern which would add depth and understanding to their reports. To hi Japane e colleagues, Ogawa was a fountain of knowledge about the

United State . Thus hi influence spread beyond hi own writing. Ogawa was born an American, but racial barners blocked hi

optIon in hi native country. He found a home and an opportunity to practice hi profes ion in another land. He erved both well in the highest tradition of journalism.

EXCERPTS: CHAPTER XVII

Issei Rice Farmers in Texas Change to

Oranges, Row Crops After Rice Boom B Masakazu I wata

Continued from Feb 2. 19901ssue Where large landowners were to fail

in some tnstances, Katayama ucceeded

10 the main because he did not purchase land. Rice production nece arily rapidly depleted the oil after only ev­eral years of cropping. Whereas Kata­

yama was free to move from one virgin land to the next and harve t bumper crop year after year, the owners of large plantatJon could not do 0 with ease. Limited to their own land, their crop in time lost their quality which natu rally had adverse economic con e­quences. Moreover, the land purchase

made during the early phase of the Texa rice boom were often the re Ull of hard- ell tactics of land abandoned by prevIous nce growers, land whIch no amount of Is el agncultural magIc could easIly restore to its original vl r­giOity .

I n the first decade of rice farming in Texa , there wa , however, only one

complete failure recorded. A Japane e group at a place called Deco ta 10 1907 obtained option' on 5,200 acres ofland.

Under a manager, 27 wealthy young I el planted 800 acres JO rice. But the lack of adequate management. the un­wlllingne. to take advice from expen­

enced farmer, water problems. and in­experience of the men in manual labor brought about a loss in the venture after the second year amounung to over $100,000.

Truck Farming and Citrus In the fir·t decade, there were only

a handful of Japane e 10 Texa. IOvolved in truck farming. There were four in the Hou ton area and theame number at League CIty in Galveston County The four farms that were owned aver­aged 29 acres and the four that were rented 40 acres each. The e farmer grew such crop as lettuce, cabbage, radi he , potatoe , and corn for the Hou ton market and their meticulou intensIve method of cultlvatton gained the admiration of the Arnencan . the vegetable~ they sold were "alway cleaner, fre her, and more attracltve 10

toward nce farmtng for many. a goal toward which all I sei farmer in Texas worked

But there wa a pioneer Isei rice farmer who With a rationale moved in the other dlreclton, from rice to truck farmIng . Mit utaro Kobayashi of Web -ter, like hiS neighbors the albara and

Kagawa, was of a amu~al family with a technical chool education He arnved 10 Texa In 1906, according to hIS own reckoning, and for two ea on grew rice, but realiZing the n k tnvolved in a one- rop enture he decided to enter the truck farmtng branch of agriculture; theea onal production of a variety of crop would preclude the hazard of fail­ure He was the first I el 10 the regIOn to undertake this type of farm 109 and at the height of hi operation had 350 acre of truck crops (which were dl. tn­buted by the carloaJ) as well as 20 acre in ahuma oranges As earl) a 1911 Kobaya hi 0\\ ned 20 acre of land

which he increased 10 time ;'1 h of thi truck farmer'~ even

children wa college-educated, one ha 109 a Ph.D. in chemitry and another \\ ith A, ituateJ near the home­·tead. WIth a M . . degree in ele lrtcal

produclton that bad Its genesl earlier In the decade.

In Hou ton, the Japanese ventured tnto the production of a uma orange after notintl orange trees thrivlOg in the yards of pnvate home. The perceptive­

ne of the I ei set off the Sa uma orange boom that reverberated from Texas to Alabama.

aburo Ani in Corpus Christi One of the sigmficant individual in­

volved in thi aspect of Texas agncul­ture was aburo Ami. Born in 1867, he had come to the United States in I 87, become a convert to Chri tianity at the Firs t Methodi t Church in an Fran­

ci co, and came to Texas in 1905 to eek lus fortune as a rice grower at Cor­

pu Chri ti In 1906 through Hideo Waragll1,

Houston branch manager of the Mit ui Company, Aral ecured 250,000 and with the money purchased 500 acres of land at Alvin where he e tabIi hed the Alvin Japane e ursery. The nur ery­man Imported large quanlltie of Sat­suma orange eedling from Japan and di tributed them throughout Texa 0

that by the end of the decade there were several thou and acre of Japane e orange set out throughout the tate Duong the peal-. years of the boom, 1908 to 1910, Aral was able to purcha e eedling for five cent apiece and ell

them in Texas for fifty cent . a 900%

profit Arll1 dl tnbuted the plant not onl)

109 them by way of catalog he had pnnted He had 50 acre in other plant beSIde hI orange eedltng Through hiS nursery he introduced the Japane e camellia. azalea. as well as the live oak

to Houston

T he orange boom wa terminated by diver e weather condition The

penodic kiIler frost that VISIts Texa precluded a permanent Cltru culture Arai' venture was to fail He left Alvm and moved to Genoa where after bor­rowing $7,000 from a banker, C.F. Sharff, he ree tab Ii hed himself ID the nur.ery bu me and unlll the time of hi· death 10 1951 served the Japane e commuOity 10 the Hou ton area. A 1908 de cnption of the Alvin Japane e ur-ery render a graphic portrayal of the

operation: "In Alvin is located the maIO nursery

area of the Alvin Japane e ursery , a company composed of two Japane e They own 462 acre in Alvin and 13 acres near the city Limits of Hou ton. At Alvin they grew all their tock, mak­ing a peciality of orange and fig tree , which are old both to the whole ale and the retail trade The nursery wa tarted only four years ago. yet they

Farms nlike Other cis' At the end of the first decade. the

fanning in Texas among the r ei indi­cated a vast difference from that of their

counterparts el e~ here in the United State . The average farm based upon 2 1 farms tudied at that time was over 5 15 acre . bout 67% of the farm were owned . The average net value of prop­erty per farm was close to 19.000. Eighty-ix per cent of al l farm owned (1 4 of 21) were held by eparate indi­vidual . Tho e operating on a partner-hip basi had from four to seven

partners. It was tated that 'The Japanese 10 Texas as a group

and the major part that ha been made has been returned to the farm in the way of Improvement and live tock . In th i way they are increasing their inve t­
