Isokichi Komine (1866{{efn|Another source says 1867. See "Early life" section.}}{{spaced ndash}}3 October 1934) was an Australian pearl diver, merchant, and trader. One of German New Guinea's earliest emigrants, he is known as "one of Rabaul's oldest pioneers".

Early life

"[O]ne of Rabaul's oldest pioneers",[1] Komine was born in 1866[1] or 1867,[2] in Shimabara, Nagasaki, Japan.[1] First working as a factory worker in Korea,[1] he had already begun voyaging New Guinea's seas in the 1890s and first settled at Thursday Island, Queensland.[6] An emigrant of Japan, Komine was the first recorded Japanese presence in German New Guinea; he arrived there in 1901[3] or 1902,[2] after being denied permanent residency in British New Guinea (now Papua).[3]

Career and death

Komine is said to be "the most famous Japanese resident in the region [German New Guinea] of that time".[2] A Japanese community leader in German New Guinea,[11] Komine set up Nanyō Sangyō Kaisha,[4] an independent business, there,[5] and employed up over a hundred Japanese workers.[3] An extensive collection of Komine's rare finds in his voyages comprised more than 3,000 "valuables", although it was noted that a few gold-lip ouster shells in his collection were only worth up to $5.[2] The collection was sold in October 1910[16] to A. B. Lewis,[17] and is considered to be the largest single purchase of items from the Bismarck Archipelago,[6] which was where Komine resided in from 1902.[7] When Japan declared war against Germany in 1914, Komine aligned with the Australians but also maintained close ties with German businesspeople to safeguard his business interests.[8] Komine died on 3 October[9] 1934[3] of food poisoning,[9] although one report claims that Komine "outlived his obituary notice" and was still alive after 1934.[10]
