A year later, concessions were agreed in a score of six points. The agreement was followed by the reception of students of Japanese origin in public schools. The adoption of the 1907 agreement stimulated the arrival of “brides of images”, marriages of convenience concluded remotely by photographs. [11] By creating remote marital bonds, women who wanted to emigrate to the United States could obtain passports and Japanese workers in America could earn a partner of their own nationality.

The gentlemen`s agreement was never enshrined in a law passed by the U.S. Congress, but was an informal agreement between the United States and Japan, adopted by unilateral measures by President Roosevelt.
