「移民」をめぐる言説

大正年間の地方改良運動との関連から

We can find two types of interpretation on the emigration from Tashima Village. This article discusses these types as it relates to the social context. The first interpretation was related to the Local Improvement Campaign promulgated by the national Government in the Taisho era. The other interpretation was related to local customs, that is, the local people intended to interpret the experiences of their village through the use of their traditional resourses. This difference in interpretation resulted in the fact that Tashima Village was not entirely included in the policies of the national Government.
