Description

This article summarized the cultural movement led by the Governor of the Karafuto (Sakhalin) Local Government that began in 1934 in Karafuto during the Japanese territory. In this era, Japanese people from Karafuto are making inroads into society. The policy of establishing a unique culture coincided with the will of the residents who sought local culture. The organization was formed quickly by the governorʼs command. And the accumulation of local research up to that point made the project possible. But war changes development policy, and the Secretary takes turns. In publishing business and social education, the history of Japanese territory, Anton Chekhovʼs works, historic sites of the Russian Empire era, the history and life of indigenous peoples, and the various images of Karafutoʼs hometown are shown. The Japanese are the main players in this policy, and although there is an aspect of cultural control over other ethnic groups, it can be said that this policy created the uniqueness of Karafuto, which is not found in the Japanese culture in the interior.
