## History

[edit]

The village was founded after several Japanese victories in the Russo-Japanese War. As Britain was allied with Japan, Canada, as a dominion in the British Empire, also had positive relationships with Japan, even sending a military attaché (Herbert Cyril Thacker) to assist the Japanese. Three towns in Saskatchewan along the CN line (Togo, Kuroki, Mikado),[8] a regional park (Oyama),[9] and CN Siding (Fukushiama)[10] were named in honour of Japanese achievements in this war.

## Attractions

[edit]

A Japanese Garden was created by residents, complete with rock gardens and small pond. It has a sign in Japanese saying "Kuroki Japanese Gardens". On the western edge of town there is a small Ukrainian Orthodox church and St. Helena Cemetery. The grain elevator still stands in good condition but has been purchased and is now owned privately.[citation needed]
