Description

This paper intends to make an analysis of the development and its logic of the peasant emigration movement to Manchuria in the period of so-called fascism in Japan through analysing the emigration movement in Nango Village, Miyagi Prefecture. People of rural districts in Japan were in great misery because of agricultural crisis at that time. "Peasant Emigration" was one of the policies that large landowners enforced to meet this situation. Those who had pushed on emigration movement to Manchuria persistently were G. Matsukawa, S. Minagawa, and S. Noda. Emigrants consisted mainly of peasants and agricultural labourers. Therefore, the emigration movement didn't contribute to the revival of their home village. It was remarkably noticed that they sent "brides" for emigrants to Manchuria from Nango Village. These "brides" were trained at Nango Koto Kokumin Gakko. The Pacific War had destroyed agricultural production completely, which broke down the emigration plan in Nango Village. Emigration to Manchuria ended in tragedy owing to the defeat of Japan.
