Outline of Final Research Achievements

As for Japanese societies in Republic of Indonesia, they have been largely made up of‘national immigrants’under Japanese colonial rule and‘corporate immigrants under the post-colonial rule.’ Communities in those societies were either direct　applications of Japanese domestic communities or analogous to them.
In 2000 years, however, the turns on those axis of the from dependent‘ corporate immigarannts’ to autonomous ‘life-style immigrants’ came to be seen broadly in Japanese societies. And Japanese societies themselves are not centered on Japan Club, but multi-centerd.
