*Peru: the first 36 Okinawan settlers bound for Peru leave Yokohama on 1906/10/16 aboard the Itsukushima-maru. The last 25 Okinawan contract laborers to arrive in Peru do so in 1923, departing Yokohama on the Rakuyo-maru on 1923/8/8.

*Bolivia: though Okinawans are not known to have settled in Bolivia until the postwar, they represent one of the largest or most significant groups today. The first emigration group, 269 people, left Naha aboard the Chisadane on 1954/6/19, followed by another 129 aboard a ship called Tegelberg, a month later on 7/18. An Okinawa Colony Association was established in Bolivia in 1957. - gallery labels at Toyama Kyuzo Memorial Hall, Kin Village.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/46559092314/sizes/k/]
