Research Area
ITO joined this project in April 2020. The project aims to understand how Issei Indonesians of Japanese descent, whose roots are in former Japanese soldiers, lived in a foreign land in the 1940s and 1950s (World War II, Indonesian War of Independence, and post-independence). ITO examines the Issei’s experiences in the 1940s and 1950s (World War II and post-independence), including their enlistment in the Indonesian military, conversion to Christianity, occupation, marriage to local women, formation of Japanese associations, and interactions with other Issei and local people.
