Japanese settlement in the Dominican Republic

Japanese Dominicans are Dominican citizens of Japanese origin.〔 Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs estimates the Japanese descended population in the country at roughly 800. , there were also 873 Japanese nationals in the Dominican Republic.〔 These consist of both the settlers who have retained their Japanese citizenship, and more recent expatriate residents. The Dominican Republic has the largest Japanese population in the Caribbean and Central American region.
==Migration history==
Migration from Japan to the Dominican Republic did not begin until after World War II. With the end of the Allied occupation, Japan regained control over its migration policy. The Dominican Republic signed a treaty with Japan in 1956 to accept migrants for agricultural labour, one of the earliest in a series of treaties signed by Japan's newly established emigration bureau. From the Japanese government's perspective, the goal of the emigration policy was to improve Japan's international reputation by having Japanese people contribute to the development of foreign countries. Latin America was the only potential outlet for emigration; the United States' Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907 and Immigration Act of 1924 and Australia's White Australia policy eliminated the option of settlement in those two countries, while anti-Japanese sentiment in Asia due to Japan's wartime atrocities meant that none of those countries would accept Japanese migrants either. Rafael Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic since 1930, for his part sought to use European and later Japanese migrants as a demographic buffer against black Haitian squatters, by settling them along the country's western border with Haiti.
The Japanese migrants came to the Dominican Republic with the intention of permanent settlement in the country.〔 They had been promised furnished houses, land ready for planting, and credit until the first harvest.〔 More than 200 families totaling 1,319 people braved the month-long ocean voyage and arrived from 1956 to 1959.〔〔 However, the May 1961 assassination of Rafael Trujillo and a subsequent civil war, plunged the country into chaos and political violence, leaving many of the governmental promises of assistance and protection broken.〔 The migrants entirely abandoned five of their eight settlements. Beginning in 1961, 70 families fled to other Latin American countries which had agreed with the Japanese government to resettle them, including Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia, while 111 other families returned to Japan.〔
Japanese settlement in the Dominican Republic never grew to a very large scale; protests over the extreme hardships and broken government promises faced by the initial group of migrants set the stage for the end of state-supported labour emigration in Japan. By 1962, just 276 Japanese remained in the country.〔 Of the forty-seven families which settled in Constanza and the nearby valley, just seven remained. However, they clung tenuously to their land, improving irrigation facilities and introducing the Japanese ''bokashi'' composting technique. By the 1990s, Constanza had become a major area of agricultural production, growing over 90% of the country's vegetables.〔
