Karayuki-san were Japanese peasant girls -- mostly from the Shimabara Peninsula in Nagasaki Prefecture and Amakusa Islands in Kumamoto
Prefecture -- who were sold into the flesh trade in colonial Singapore and other parts of Southeast Asia.
Japan, the world¥"s second-largest economy, was a poor country a century ago, and women were one of its major exports, along with silk and coal.
Former Karayuki-san, or Japanese prostitutes, are buried under a number of small tombstones at Japanese Cemetery Park in Singapore.
Karayuki-san, together with other Japanese women who served as prostitutes elsewhere, including Siberia, Hawaii, Australia and some parts of India and Africa, were said to be the third-biggest foreign currency earner for Japan at the turn of the 20th century.
Karayuki-sanは日本人農村女性たちだ -- 大部分長崎の Shimabara 半島, 熊本の Amakusa 島から来た -- 彼女たちは植民地シンガポールと東南アジアの多くの地域に人身売買で売れた. 今日二番目で大きい経済規模の日本は 100年前には貧しい国家だったし, 女達は絹, 石炭といっしょにで日本の需要輸出品目中の一つであった.
この前に Karayuki-san, または日本人売春婦はシンガポールの日本人墓だ公園で, 幾多の小さな碑石とともに売場されている.
シベリア, ハワイ, オーストラリア, そしてインディアとアフリカの一部地域など他の所で売春をした日本人女性と一緒に, Karayuki-sanの収入は, 20世紀 末の日本外貨獲得に 3番目に大きい寄与をした.
