This handbook explores Japan's relationship with migration by reconceptualising the country from transnational perspectives.Through a critical reassessment of the traditional notion that Japan has an absence of immigration policy, this volume reveals the ways in which the Japanese state and society have, in practice, engaged with immigration issues. It explores incremental policy adaptations, intricate social realities, and scrutinizes the implications of policy failures. Through this analysis, it provides a nuanced understanding of immigration governance and the dynamics of coexistence with migrants in contemporary Japan. By offering a foundation for understanding the current landscape of immigration and refugee experiences in Japan, this book presents an environment of coexistence grounded in the principle of multiple realities.Providing a comprehensive understanding of Japan's relationship with migration and structured to allow readers to grasp this relationship both historically and thematically, this handbook will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Japanese society and migration studies.

This book argues that transpacific history cannot be comprehended without including “vertical” connections; namely, those between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere. It explores such connections by uncovering small histories of ordinary people’s attempts at événements which they undertake by means of uneven, unlevel, and multidirectional mobilities. In this way, this book goes beyond the usual notion of transpacific history as a matter of Northern Hemisphere-centric connections between the United States and Asian countries, and enables us to imagine a transpacific space as a more dynamic and multi-faceted world of human mobilities and connections. In this book, both eminent and burgeoning historians uncover the stories of little-known, myriad encounters in various parts of the Asia-Pacific region. By exploring cases whose actors include soldiers, missionaries, colonial administrators, journalists, essayists, and artists, the book highlights the significance of "vertical" perspectives in understanding complex histories of the region.
