This book is a valuable record of pre-war South American immigration policies and the overseas expansion of the Japanese. It details the background of Japanese emigration to Brazil, which began in the late Meiji era, as well as the social conditions of Brazil at the time, travel procedures, work conditions, and the specifics of the systems that promoted immigration. The back cover is damaged, so the price has been set accordingly (see photos). In addition, there is some deterioration due to age, but it does not interfere with reading. Recommended for historians, those interested in overseas immigration policies, and collectors of pre-war materials.
