| Research Abstract |
The Irish people emigrated and put down roots in all English-speaking world in the nineteenth century, especially after the Great Famine between 1845 and 1851. It is now estimated that the seventy million members of the Irish 'diaspora' are scattered throughout the world. Our research focused on the emigration and immigration of Irish people from their native land to North America, and we did research on how the Irish left their native land and how they put down their roots, in other words, how they 'Americanized' or 'Canadianized' themselves, in the New World. Our studies also deal with the interrelationship or conflict between nations, Ireland, U.S.and Canada in the spheres of their religions, societies and cultures. In our research we four played our own role : Ryoji Okuda, the emigration from the South of Ireland to North America ; Toru Sato, the emigration from the North of Ireland to North America ; Shin-ichi Inagaki, the immigration to U.S ; and Kaoru Sato of the immigration to Canada.
