	Japanese baseball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baseball has been a popular sport in Japan for over a century since its introduction in 1872.
		Japanese professional baseball consists of two leagues, the Central League and the Pacific League.
		Baseball was introduced to Japan in 1872 by Horace Wilson, and its first formal team was established in 1878.

		The assimilative policies of baseball reflected the imperial ethnic policies of the time, which presumed a cline of descending Japaneseness, from mainland Japanese through a penumbra of assimilable ethnicities among colonial settlers and educable locals on out to the non-Japanese, which is to say the never-to-be Japanese, at the farther reaches of the empire.
		Japaneseness as a tenet of national civil religion may be held to be a natural consequence of birth and blood, the intuitive expression of a homogeneous population.
		Baseball in Japan is a case in point, although this is not an easy task, given the popular tendency to tag sporting form by national style—thus, “baseball samurai style”—and given the long and complex histories of Japanese appropriations from the outside of everything from constitutions to Christmas to computer software.

	Nisei - Early Japanese American Baseball Players
		While baseball has long been acknowledged as a vehicle of cultural assimilation for waves of immigrants seeking acceptance in America, baseball has played a significant role back home for the Japanese in their own country.

		Baseball continued to play a significant role in the development of cultural identity for Japanese American communities throughout the '30s, but all of that was to change when the bombing of Pearl Harbor rocked Japanese/American relations.
