In 1950's Japan was still poor and destroyed by the war. People were just living from hand to mouth.
Americans were all around and Korean War was taking place but Americans were just tired of wars but they don't know more to come, like Vietnam War and others.
St. Joseph was at its peak of existence without any rivals like St. Mary's, ASIJ, or YIS or universities like Sophia or ICU and surprisingly only two students had studied English in the University of Tokyo during the war. There was a great need of people with English knowledge but no one around. It was win win situation for the school. French suffered the war, so the Order sent Americans and Spaniards to Japan.
One of the Spanish Brothers (teachers) was Brother Zabala who used to be a soccer player of the Spanish National team.
