Japan's national identity associates the 'Japanese people' with the
Japanese land, making the farmer the backbone of the nation. Others
in Japanese Agriculture challenges this mythology, revealing the
changing faces of Japanese farmers during the colonial and post-war
eras. First, it traces the tangled trail of Koreans brought into
farming villages as a result of war mobilization and capitalist
development. Second, it discusses the plight of those who evacuated
from cities as they attempted to eke out a living on marginal land.
Third, it points out that settlers repatriated from the colonies
were met with hostility from villagers and indifference from
authorities. Finally, it explores how those who were encouraged to
emigrate for 'the good of the nation' in post-war Japan, found
themselves victims of agrarian reforms, which severed their ties.
In sum, despite being lauded as the 'backbone of the nation'
Japanese farmers have been repeatedly marginalized and othered.
