Effect:	Insertion
Salience:	Present only since contact
Contact situation:	Japanese contact Japanese contact Although the Japanese contract laborers arrived on the plantations after the Chinese, they have also left a big impression on the local culture. From 1897 to 1907, the large majority of indentured laborers brought to work on the sugar plantations were Japanese. Like other plantation workers, many Japanese settled in Hawai¬ian cities after completing their contracts, which would have been for five or three years. Connections between Hawai‘i and Japan remain strong, as Japanese tourists constitute a major tourist presence in the Islands. Four words in the database have been identified as Japanese loanwords: mochi ‘sticky rice cake’ (< mochi); musubi ‘rice ball’ (< musubi); ‘eka‘eka ‘Japanese taro’ (< adado); and koiu ‘soy sauce’ (< sho-yu).
