Research summary
Empirical study on rural society in Japan and the movement of people between the Showa depression and the period of high economic growth ・Study is conducted on domestic structural analysis, such as the analysis of farmer family management and the change process in the mother villages of Japanese immigrant farmers who were sent from farming villages in Japan to Manchuria (currently, the north eastern part of China) as a national policy, while analysis is also conducted from a viewpoint considering East Asian spatial expanse, such as the relationship between the settlement and their mother village, and their relationships with local Chinese farmers. In recent years, attempts to approach the specific characters of Japan’s post-war society are being made, through verification of the problem of repatriates, on its relationship with post-war policy developments, such as welfare policies, farmland reform, etc.
