[What are former discriminated buraku?] The buraku issue is related to the discriminated buraku problem in Japan, human rights issues, social issues, or the "dowa kiken" (special privileges for buraku liberation) that exploit these issues, and administrative violence by the Buraku Liberation League due to their exclusionary and absolutist stance on buraku issues, as well as the "Kaidou taboo." In 1871, the Meiji government promulgated the "Emancipation Edict" as part of its "one emperor, all people" and modernization policies. For the people of the discriminated buraku, "civilization" meant liberation from discrimination, and they aimed to achieve "civilization" through education and livelihood improvement while being incorporated into the "one emperor, all people" ideology. However, people outside the buraku, adhering to "old customs," attempted to discriminate and exclude them. In the 1880s, economic hardship in the buraku progressed, and coupled with outbreaks of cholera, characteristics such as uncleanliness, disease, and being "different" were attributed to the discriminated buraku. In Japanese history, to address the issue of outcasts (senmin) from the medieval to early modern periods among the Yamato people, the Meiji government abolished the outcast system as one of the modernization reforms of the Meiji Restoration and incorporated them as "commoners" (heimin) like other social classes. However, according to Taisaku Kitahara, who worked to resolve buraku discrimination from before the war, in Kansai, where the distinction of former outcast residential areas was more noticeable, resembling slums in other countries, former commoners disliked being considered the same status as former outcasts, leading to discrimination against "new commoners" (shinheimin). Subsequently, the reasons for avoiding discriminated buraku areas and, after the war, dowa districts, have changed. After World War II, due to economic development and buraku countermeasure projects funded by enormous tax revenues, areas designated as dowa districts, which resembled slums in other countries, were modernized. #Items for which a price cannot be set
