30,000 Japanese live in Singapore today, but in 18 62 there on Lee was one. In that era, Japanese were forbidden to leave their home islands, but Yamamoto photo kichi circled the globe before he settled in the tiny British colony called Singapore on the tip of the Malay peninsula, he registered as a British subject, using the name John Oto San. Old photos show us the face of Singapore at that time, but not the face of Oto Kichi or those of his Mele wife and their Children. No, all we have is a sketch of a man dressed as a Chinese Ah, figure said to be that of Photo Kichi, serving as an interpreter for a British expedition to Nagasaki.
