The author summarizes the availability of Japanese official statistics concerning international migration. The paper is in three parts: the first describes the kinds of data available, the second analyzes changes in migration patterns before 1950, and the third deals with migration since 1950. The author notes that although the volume of international migration concerning Japan has historically been low, recent trends emphasize the need for better data.
