This paper provides supplementary information to "On Yoshio Nishino and Asao Hara’s Ruikon" (Issue No. 56). As written in the preceding issue, Ruikon is Asao Hara’s first anthology of tanka poems that was independently published by a literary youth, Yoshio Nishino of Hiroshima. In March 1913, at the age of 21, Nishino decided to leave his country to spend rest of his life as a nomad. He published the anthology to commemorate his home country and to take along in his travels. In August of the year the anthology was published, Nishino departed Japan in an emigrant ship and headed for Peru. The preceding issue does not sufficiently touch upon Nishino' s life after his departure. Fortunately, I received a detailed research report on Nishino' s later part of life from Mr. Alejandro Kuda, an expert on history of Argentinean and Japanese immigration immediately after I had completed the paper. With Mr. Kuda' s permission, I will include the entire report in this paper.
