Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups. | Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country.

==Immigration to Japan== | |||
*During the 16th century, Portuguese traders and Jesuit missionaries reached Japan for the first time, initiating direct commercial and cultural exchange between Japan and the West. <ref>"Japan", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan, accessed 3 July 2021.</ref> | |||
*Due to geographic remoteness and periods of self-imposed isolation, the immigration has been comparatively limited. | |||
*Historian Yukiko Koshiro has identified three historically significant waves of immigration prior to 1945: | |||
:*the 8th-century settlement of '''Korean artists and intellectuals'''; | |||
:*the asylum offered to a small number of '''Chinese families''' in the 1600s; and | |||
:*the forced immigration of up to 670,000 '''Korean and Chinese laborers''' during the Second World War.<ref>"Immigration to Japan," in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Japan, accessed 3 July 2021.</ref> | |||
