*Brazil: first 781 Japanese immigrants to Brazil include 325 Okinawans, departing from Kobe on the Kasato-maru on 1908/4/28. The second group leaves Kobe on 1912/3/10. In 1913, the Japanese government bans Okinawan emigration to Brazil, and people being leaving for Argentina. These restrictions are lifted in 1917, and some 2,138 Okinawans leave for Brazil that year. Emigration to Brazil peaks the following year, with 2,204 people leaving Okinawa in 1918. Restrictions are put on the emigration again in 1919. - gallery labels at Toyama Kyuzo Memorial Hall, Kin Village.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/46559092314/sizes/k/]
