They came from the snowy northern outpost of Hokkaido and the sunny southern island of Okinawa. Some were the sons of the newly disenfranchised samurai. Others were humble farmers. The Japanese who have settled in Argentina since the end of the 19th century came for many reasons: wanderlust, good farming, and even a love for tango, Argentinian music with “a very Japanese sense of nostalgia.” Now numbering nearly 18,000, Japanese immigrants and their children have made a home for themselves in this country that, in the words of one Japanese-Argentine poetess, “welcomed us with yellow flowers like a rain of gold.” Japan Across The Seas paints a complex and multifaceted portrait of the diversity of the Japanese-Argentine experience.
