Historical records of Japanese and Brazilian immigrants

19 During the 20th century, Japan had a small territory and a large population. At this time, Brazil just needs a lot of cheap labor. When these workers gain a foothold in Brazil, they can send some money to Japan, so Japanese immigrants to Brazil are encouraged.

1. Japanese refugees go to work in Brazil

Originally, it was also a traditional farming country with a small land area, but in the 1960s, the population density was very high, so the per capita resources in Japan during this period were very miserable. What can be done to make the people at the top of the pyramid enjoy better resources, while the people at the bottom will not die? The only way is to emigrate. Especially after Japan's industrialization, 70% of the land was privatized, which means that farmers are unemployed. If the unemployment group is too large, it will make the social environment turbulent. During this period, Brazil needed cheap labor to support the operation of plantation economy. At this time, the abolition of slavery in the United States meant that blacks were no longer slaves to plantations. In order to have cheap labor, Brazil agreed to Japanese immigrants.

Second, encourage immigrants.

When 1 batch of Japanese refugees gained a foothold in Brazil, they did feed back their families in Japan and sent some economy to the Japanese government. So Japan and Brazil began to strongly encourage immigrants. 1 A batch of Japanese immigrants took root in Brazil because they lived there for a long time, and Brazil allowed them to gather together to open Japanese schools and spread Japanese culture. As a result, after the beginning of World War II, Brazil assimilated Japanese immigrants, demanding that Japanese schools be closed, Japanese shops be closed, and the Japanese language be forgotten. So the second generation of this group of Japanese, they gradually think they are Brazilians.

The third and second generations can't return to Japan, which will drive immigrants.

These second-generation Japanese born in Brazil can't go home, because they have little inheritance of Japanese culture, so they are more adapted to life in Brazil and are ready to teach them how to go back to Japan and know their hometown in time. However, the cultural differences between the two sides will make it impossible for them to live in Japan, so these second generations drive their own cars, and some of the whole family immigrated to Brazil and left Japan. After all, the sense of belonging of these second generations is Brazil.
