While some Japanese immigrants did initially migrate to Brazil due to a surplus of workers in Japan, there is no evidence to suggest this pressure continued throughout the entire twentieth century. While the Japanese government has provided some support to returning emigrants, it is not accurate to say they have "embraced" them warmly, as many have faced difficulties reintegrating into Japanese society. While there are certainly examples of Japanese Brazilians maintaining their cultural traditions in Japan, it is also true that many have faced discrimination and cultural challenges upon their return. However, overall, it is generally accepted that Japanese Brazilians have maintained strong ties to Brazilian culture even after returning to Japan.
