	Sapporo, Hokkaido Summary
		In 1868 (the officially recognised year celebrated as the 'birth' of Sapporo), the new Meiji government concluded that the existing administrative center of Hokkaido, which at the time was the port of Hakodate was in an unsuitable location for the defense and further development of the island.
		During 1870-71, Kiyotaka Kuroda, vice-chairman of the Hokkaido Development Commission (kaitakushi) approached the American government for assistance in developing the land resulting in Horace Capron, Secretary of Agriculture under President Ulysses S. Grant being appointed as a special advisor to the commission.
		The continuing expansion of the Japanese into Hokkaido continued, mainly due to migration from the main island of Honshu immediately to the south, and the prosperity of Hokkaido and particularly its capital grew to the point that the Development Commission was deemed unnecessary and was abolished in 1882.

	www.debito.org: Internationalization Through Transplant Educators: The JET Programme
		Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island and a prefecture in itself, is, despite being the closest to foreign countries than any other part of Japan, not terribly famous for its "internationalization".
		The point is that in Hokkaido there are per community an average of 1.5 invited foreign teachers, creating prominent mini-spikes of foreign prescences in truly outback rural hamlets (names in kanji that are in fact illegible to most Japanese).
		We shall get more into the teaching methodologies and their educational impact upon Hokkaido in future writings, but a case may be made that JET is seriously limiting its own ability to fulfill its goals through its systematic processing of transplant educators.
