This comprehensive Japanese directory from 1957 focuses on businesses and individuals in Hawaii. It was published shortly after Japanese citizens were once again able to travel abroad following the occupation period. The directory commences with a welcome message from Prime Minister Kishi Shinsuke and is meticulously arranged according to islands and locations.

At the outset of the directory, one can find a collection of business advertisements accompanied by many photographic illustrations. Following this, the directory features listings of businesses and individual names, presented in both Japanese and English, along with their respective addresses. These listings are interspersed with full-page advertisements.

This publication serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the Japanese presence in Hawaii during this time, offering insights into both businesses and individuals. The arrangement, detailed listings, and visual elements provide a snapshot of the Japanese community's activities and contributions in Hawaii during the mid-20th century.
