From the map here, you can see the regionality of emigrants’ places of origin. This is one of the distinctive features of Japanese overseas migration. Those prefectures that had particularly high numbers of emigrants are known as “emigration prefectures.” Why do you suppose these prefectures had so many emigrants?
To learn why, watch the videos on the monitor to the right, showing interviews with people from different prefectures, and look at the detailed information on the monitor to the left. You can also touch the graph in front of you to get a sense of the difference in the number of emigrants by prefecture.
