80° ANIVERSÁRIO DA IMIGRAÇÃO JAPONESA NO BRASIL

Em 1907, foi concedida a autorização, pelo governo do Estado de São Paulo, à Cia. Imperial de Imigração do Japão para transportar um determinado número de emigrantes para o Brasil, em parcelas anuais. A 18 de junho de 1908, aportou em Santos o navio japonês KASATO MARU trazendo, pela primeira vez, 165 famílias, num total de 786 pessoas, que foram encaminhadas às fazendas de café na zona mogiana para trabalharem como "colonos". Iniciou-se a vida nova num pais distante, de clima, costumes e língua diferentes. Como estes imigrantes outros se sucederam e quase todos foram destinados para as fazendas de café.

Entre 1910 e 1914, chegaram do Japão cerca de 14.200 imigrantes. Estes uma vez terminados os contratos de trabalho nas fazendas de café, procuraram sua independência dirigindo-se para o interior do Estado ou para a região litorânea nas proximidades da Estrada de Ferro Santos-Juquiá, como também para a periferia de São Paulo Já na década de 1910, vários núcleos de colonização foram estabelecidos por imigrantes japoneses nas regiões da Estrada de Ferro Noroeste e nas margens do Rio Ribeira, em Iguape. Esses núcleos proliferaram em diversas localidades entre 1925 e 1935, quando se alcançou o maior número de migrantes japoneses entrados no Brasil, num total de 140.000, aproximadamente, incluindo-se os que se dirigiram diretamente para a região norte do País.

Houve interrupções do fluxo imigratório durante 10 anos, com o advento da 11 Guerra Mundial, restabelecendo-se em 1959 nova entrada dos japoneses mas em escala reduzida, principalmente a partir de ;961, quando o fluxo diminuiu consideravelmente, após a restauração econômica do Japão. Cerca de 260.000 imigrantes japoneses deram entrada no Brasil até o presente momento.

As maiores concentrações se encontram no Estado de São Paulo, estirnadas em 73% do total, seguidas pelo Paraná com 20%, Mato Grosso com 2,5% e Pará com 1,2%, o restante estando distribuído nos diversos Estados do Norte, Nordeste, Centro-Oeste e Sul do País.

Quanto às atividades exercidas pelos japoneses, 50% trabalham na agricultura, 35% no comércio e 15% na indústria. Esta última teve um crescimento acelerado na década de 60 com a transferência das empresas japonesas para o Brasil.

Infere-se que seja 800.000 o número da população da comunidade Nipo-brasileira atualmente no País, entre primeira e quarta gerações. Os descendentes dos imigrantes estão atuando em atividades sociais de todas as áreas de produção e de cultura, além do advento de dois Ministros de Estado nas últimas décadas.

Em sua caminhada de 80 anos, imigrantes e seus descendentes solidamente integrados à Nação Brasileira participam e contribuem para a construção de um País melhor e maior, com toda dedicação e amor. Jubilosamente comemoram, no dia 18 de junho de 1988, que simboliza o início da imigração japonesa no Brasil, 80 anos de história neste Pais.

80 YEARS OF THE JAPANESE IMMIGRATION INTO BRAZIL

In 1907 the Government of the State of São Paulo authorized Japan's Imperial Immigration Company to transfer, annually, a certain of emigrants to Brazil.

On June 18 1908, arrived at Santos' harbor the Japanese vessel KASATO MARU with the first group of immigrants composed of 165 families, a total of 786 people. From the harbor they went to coffee farms, in the Mogiana region, State of São Paulo, to work as "colonists". There they started a new life in a foreign country with different climate, culture and language. Other quotas followed them and almost all of them went to live in coffee farms.

From 1910 to 1914 arrived from Japan approximately 14,200 immigrants who after ending their labor contract in the coffee farms went to the interior of the State, to the coast near the Santos Juquiá railway or to the suburbs of São Paulo, in order to qet their independence. touring the decade of 10's they established several immigration centers in the region of the North West railway as well as alongside the banks of Ribeira River in Iguape. From 1925 to 1935 these centers spread statewide and became localities. By this time was recorded the arrival in Brazil of approximately 140,000 immigrants including those who went directly to the North of the Country.

The immigration flux was interrupted for 10 year because of World War II. In 1959 it started again but the quotas were smaller, especially those that arrived from 1961 on, date of the beginning of Japan's economical recuperation. Up to the present arrived in Brazil approximately 260,000 immigrants.

The biggest concentration of immigrants are: São Paulo (73%); Paraná (20%), Mato Grosso (2.5%) and Pará (1.2% ) . The others are living countrywide.

Their labor force is employed as follows: Agriculture (50%); Commerce (35%), Industry (15% ) . The industry has grown quickly in view of the establishment in Brazil of Japanese enterprises during the 60's. We believe that 800,000 people compose the Japanese community in Brazil, which is already in its 4th generation. The descendants of the immigrants perform all kind of activity within the cultural and economic sectors. In the past two decades we have had two State Ministers in the Brazilian Government.

Following their 80-year-old path immigrants and their descendants who have already close ties with Brazil take part and contribute with love and dedication to the construction of a better and developed country. This year, on June 18, they will celebrate with great rejoicing the beginning of the Japanese immigration into Brazil, since this day symbolizes a landmark of a history started 80 years ago.

80 ANS DE L'IMMIGRATION JAPONAISE AU BRESIL

En 1907, le Gouvernement de São Paulo accorda à la Compagnie d'immigration du Japon l'autorisation de transporter un certain nombre d'émigrants au Brésil, selon des quotas dtimmigration à définir annuellement.

Le 18 juin 1908, le paquebot japonais KASATO MARU s'arrêtait dans le port de Santos. II transporter le premier contingent de 165 familles (786 personnes en tout) qui devaient travailler dans les fazendas de café de la région de Mogi das Cruzes comme colons. Une nouvelle vie commença alors pour elles dans un pays lointain, au climat et aux moeurs différents. A l'instar de ces immigrants d'autres devaient se succéder, la plupart d'entre eux travaillant dans les fazendas de café.

Entre 1910 et 1914, 14200 immigrants environ arrivèrent au Brésil en provenance du Japon. A ltexpiration de leurs contrats d'embauche, ils s'établirent, ayant soif dtindépendance, dans l'intérieur de ltétat de São Paulo ou sur le littoral, aux alentours de la voie ferrée allant de Santos à Juquiá ainsi que dans la banlieue de la ville de São Paulo.

Au cours des annés 10, plusieurs colonies ont été fondées par des immigrants japonais dans les régions bordant le chemin de fer parcourant la région Nordouest de l'Etat de São Paulo ou sur les rives du fleuve Ribeira à Iguape. Entre 1925 e 1935 ces colonies se multiplíèrent et sont à l'origine de diverses localités. C'est au cours de cette période que l'immigration japonaise s'intensifia au Brésil avec l'arrivée de quelque 140000 personnes, y compris celles qui allaient directement s'établir dans la région Nord du pays. Par suite de la deuxième guerre mondiale, le courant dtimmigration s'interrompit pendant 10 ans et ne fut rétabli, sur une petite échelle, qu'en 1959.

A partir de 1961, ce fléchissement devait encore staccentuer, en conséquence du redressement de l'économie japonaise. A ce jour, quelque 260000 immigrants japonais sont entrés au Brésil. Cette population est principalement concentrée dans l'Etat de São Paulo (73% du total approximativement), dans le Paraná (20% ), le Mato Grosso (2,5% ) et le Pará (1,2% ) . Le rest est éparpillé aux quatre coins du pays.

Cinquante pour cent des Japonais travaillent dans l'agriculture, 35% dans le commerce et 15% dans l'industrie. Cette dernière a eu une croissance accélérée au cours des années 60 lors de l'installation des entreprises japonaises au Brésil.

On calcule que la communauté nippo-brésilienne —jusqutà la quatrième génération - stéléve à 800000 personnes. Ees descendants des immigrants sont présents dans tous les secteurs d'activité, culturel et économique, et ont fourni deux Ministres au Brésil au cours des dernières décennies.

En l'espace de 80 ans, les immigrants et leurs descendants, solidement enracinés dans la Nation brésilienne, ont participé et contribué à la construction d'un pays plus just et plus développé et ont fait preuve d'un grand dévouement et d"un grand patriotisme. lls fêteront joyeusement la date du 18 juin 1988, début de l'immigration japonaise au Brésil, car elle représente un jalon essentiel dans une histoire longue de 80 ans déjà.
