TOKYO, Japan - This undated file photo shows a house in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, where John Manjiro, the first Japanese to live in America, resided in the mid-19th century. The house, owned by William Whitfield, captain of a whaling ship and who rescued fisherman Manjiro in 1841 in the Pacific, has been rebuilt into a museum, the Captain Whitfield-Manjiro Friendship Memorial House.
