人们普遍认为，20世纪80年代的经济“泡沫”标志着战后日本大规模移民的开始。本文通过研究太平洋战争后几十年来被忽视的日本移民问题来质疑这一假设。虽然这几十年来日本移民的规模很难估计，但有充分的理由相信，在1946年至1970年代期间，有成千上万的“非法”移民（所谓的mikkosha）进入日本，主要来自韩国。本文探讨了这些移民的经历，并表明，官方对他们的存在产生了持久的影响，日本的移民和边境管制政策。
The economic "bubble" of the 1980s is widely assumed to mark the start of large-scale immigration to postwar Japan. This article questions that assumption by examining the neglected topic of immigration to Japan in the decades immediately following the Pacific War. Though the scale of immigration to Japan in these decades is difficult to assess, there is good reason to believe that tens of thousands of "illegal" migrants (so-called mikkōsha) entered Japan, mainly from Korea, between 1946 and the 1970s. The article explores the experiences of these migrants and suggests that official responses to their presence had a lasting impact on Japan's migration and border control policies.
