Asajiro Nā Sharon Hawke rāua ko Jem Yoshioka He kōrero tēnei pūrākau mō te manuhiri Hapani tuatahi ki Aotearoa, ko Asajiro Noda. Ka kapi te kōrero nei i te haerenga o Asajiro mai i tana kāinga Hapanihi, ki te wāhi i whakarērea ia. Ka whakamōhiotia tātou ki a Asajiro Noda, i a ia e tamariki tonu ana, e noho ana me tana whānau ki tētahi papakāinga hī-ika i te tahamoana, pātata ki te Taunga Tima o Nagasaki. Ka whai te kōrero i ōna makatea, i tōna wehenga hoki i tōna pāpā, me tōna rironga ki runga i tētahi kaipuke kē me tōna kotahi. He mōhiohio tāpiri e pā ana ki tēnei rauemi tū I whānau mai a Asajiro ki Tomioka, he wāhi noho pātata ana ki Nagasaki, ko ia te tama a tētahi kaitārai kaipuke; engari, e whitu noa iho ana tau, ka waiho pokorehūtia ia ki runga i tētahi kaipuke e whakatikatikaina ana. Nā wai rā, ka whakatere atu te waka nō Tiamani i te moana mō te hia tau, taro ake, ka tae ia ki Murihiku. Ka moe ia i a Rīhi Tīpene Te Ahu nō Kawhia, e 5 ā rāua tamariki, i whakarōrātia rātou mō tā rātou āhua Hapanihi, Māori hoki. Tino uaua ō rātou oranga i ngā wā o ngā pakanga e rua i te mea i kōrero Tiamana a Asajiro, i rite hoki ana tamariki ki te Hapanihi. E 74 ngā tau o Asajiro ka mate i te tau 1994, he tino pakeketanga tēnā mō aua rā.
