Keywords:
minorities in Japan, Ainu, Burakumin, Korean in JapanAbstract
Ainu, Burakumin and Korean in Japan can be considered as major minorities in Japan.From the early twentieth century to the present, status of these minorities in the Japanese society have continuously changed. Rapid political, economic and socio-cultural transformations during this period can be considered as essential factors for this phenomenon. In many cases, constructive changes could be noticed. However, many challenges are still existed. Therefore, in order to improve the status of these minorities, more assertive actions from the concerned agencies and more favorable attitudes of the society are needed.
