Five years have passed since the last issue of “Jinmonken” was published. Publishing was halted, among other factors, by the fact that a large amount of members was involved in the project “Before the Kasato-maru: a historical glance” (coordinated by the Japanese-Brazilian Museum), as well as internal changes which have occurred in the past years within our entity. Needless to say, budget problems were also a substantial cause.

First of all, we would like to apologize.

Due to the fact that many young people are unable to read Japanese fluently nowadays, from this issue on we intend to publish papers in Portuguese as well.

Readers are free to submit their own papers to our Editorial Board. Comments are also welcome.
