June 18th, Emigration Day in Japan, Japanese Immigration Day in Brazil.
The ship "Kasato-maru" symbolizes a zero milestone of the eternal
history of people of Japanese descent in Brazil. The ship raised its
anchor and set sail direct for Santos, carrying the first set of 781
contracted emigrants, lit up with fireworks celebrating the ship’s
departure. The emigrants sailed aboard the ship Kasato-maru nearly
12,000 nautical miles for 50 days, suffering from seasickness and the
heat, while recreating theselves with meals and entertainment, and
arrived at the 14th wharf, Port Santos on June 18. In Brazil this day is
remembered as the "day of Japanese immigration ", and in Japan it is
"the day of overseas emigration".
