The Bahá'í Faith in Japan begins after a few mentions of the country by `Abdu'l-Bahá first in 1875. Japanese contact with the religion came from the West when Kanichi Yamamoto was living in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1902 converted - the second being Saichiro Fujita. In 1914 two Bahá'ís, George Jacob Augur and Agnes Alexander, and their families, pioneered to Japan. Alexander would live some 31 years off and on in Japan until 1967 when she left for the last time The first Bahá'í convert on Japanese soil was Kikutaro Fukuta in 1915. `Abdu'l-Bahá undertook several trips 1911-1912 and met Japanese travelers in Western cities - in Paris, London and New York. Abdu'l-Bahá met Fujita in Chicago and Yamamoto in San Francisco. `Abdu'l-Bahá wrote a series of letters, or tablets, in 1916-1917 compiled together in the book titled Tablets of the Divine Plan but which was delayed in being presented in the United States until 1919. Fujita would serve between the World Wars first in the household of Abdu'l-Bahá and then of Shoghi Effendi. In 1932 the first Bahá'í Local Spiritual Assembly was elected in Tokyo and reelected in 1933. In all of Japan there were 19 Bahá'ís.
