| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to clear the condition of Japanese cultivators in Manchuria during Sino-Japanese War relating to agriculture and its community construction in Tochigi. To attain this purpose, we have studied emigration policy of Japan and Tochigi, the move- ment to develop village economy in Tochigi and the condition of emigration into Manchuria.
As a result, there could be seen three types of emigration to Manchuria such as "armed emigration," "youth militia," and "village-unit emigration." We made investigation by means of hearings of the experienced. As for "armed emigration," we heard form the people who live in Chiburi, Nasuno-machi, for "youth militia" in Nishi Nasuno-machi and for "village-unit emigration" both in Motegi-machi and in Ohya, Nasu-machi.
Besides, we used some documents on the emigration into Manchuria which belong to libraries of Utsunomiya, Chiba and Yamaguchi universities respectively. With above mate- rials, we came to a conclusion that "the emigration into Manchuria" meant not only "sac- rifice" rellecting pre-modern rural condition but also a tool for Japanese government to invade China.
According to the hearings of "village-unit emigration" in Motegi-machi, it was found that the farmers had denied emigration despite of all the efforts of the government. It is an interesting pointo to think of Japan's farmer control under the war.
We are planning to wrap up all the studies on the emigration into Manchuria as our future theme.
