An unrecorded pamphlet printing the text of a speech delivered to the Japanese Industrial Club by the Japanese Ambassador to Brazil. The title of the speech is translated as Back from Brazil or Returning from Brazil, and concentrates on Ariyoshi's experiences after spending three years in South America, with particular attention paid to Japanese immigration and potential investment. During the course of his speech, Ariyoshi touches on the industrial resources of Brazil, German and Italian influence in the country, recent struggles by the coffee industry, foreign investment in Brazil (specifically mentioning the Rothschild family), and more. He concludes by calling for continued Japanese immigration and additional capital investment by Japanese business interests in Brazil. No copies in OCLC, though a 1939 work by Setsuzo Sawada is listed under the same title.
