Anti-Japanese sentiment caused the US and Japan to enter the Gentlemen's Agreement restricting the immigration of most Japanese men between 1907 and 1924 but not their wives. Most of the Japanese men already on the West Coast and Hawaii were not married so this provision seemed like it would have had little applicability. The workaround? Photographs, matchmakers, proxy marriages, and wharf weddings, all of which resulted in tens of thousands of "picture brides" journeying to America and joining husbands they had never met.
