Why are Japanese so enthusiastic and popular in Brazil?

This phenomenon is related to "the history between Japan and Brazil".

During the Meiji era in Japan, there was an upsurge of emigration to the United States and Brazil.

Because of the overpopulation in Japan at that time, Japan had limited arable land and limited resources. At that time, both the United States and Brazil were "labor shortages".

Therefore, during the Meiji period, many Japanese families, except the eldest son, the second son and the third son, generally immigrated to the United States and Brazil to reclaim land and work.

-

But later, too many Japanese immigrated to the United States, and the Japanese were hardworking. Therefore, the influence of the Japanese in the United States has gradually become stronger, and the United States has closed the door to accepting Japanese immigrants. On the other hand, Brazil has always opened its doors to Japanese immigrants.

-

So until now, there are still many descendants of Japanese in Brazil.

Many of these Japanese married local Brazilians, and many of their descendants later returned to Japan.

-

1990, Japan amended the Entry and Exit Law, stipulating that Japanese nationals and their families within three generations can work in Japan. Therefore, a large number of Japanese Brazilians and their families came to Japan to live and settle down.

-

Based on the above-mentioned historical relationship, Japan and Brazil have too many origins, and the cultures of the two countries constantly penetrate and influence each other in such historical origins.

There is a samba parade in Tokyo every year, which is comparable to the samba carnival in Brazil.
