		This dissertation examines the economic and social development of Yamaguchi prefecture, particularly southeastern Yamaguchi, through the lens of international labor migration.
		Yamaguchi prefecture, though prosperous before the 1868 Meiji Restoration, was economically stagnant and politically quiescent by the 1880s.
		The influx of income may not have contributed to an economic boom in southeastern Yamaguchi, but it prevented the area from becoming depressed, and draining government resources or impeding the growth of the prefecture-wide economy.
