東京DANDYさんのインスタグラム写真 - (東京DANDYInstagram)「21st Century Sakoku. Sakoku (鎖国) was a period of over 200 years of national seclusion stemming from the Tokugawa Shogunate's isolationist foreign policy system in the 1600s. Foreigners were barred from entering Japan and Japanese people were banned from leaving the country. (Until the Americans turned up with their gunships in 1853.) ⁣ ⁣ COVID19 has seen many countries around the world adopt temporary isolationist policies to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Japan's system asks for returning Japanese citizens to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. However, foreign residents, no matter that kind of visa, are refused re-entry. That means some multi-racial families have been forced apart and students and workers have been left stranded overseas (while staying paying rent on apartments in the Japanese districts they are taxpayers in). This past week the ACCJ has asked for this unjust policy to be reviewed, and a change.org (link in stories) is seeking signatures to appeal for a rethink. ⁣ ⁣ Photo: Police survey the coast of Nijima Island (2015)⁣ ⁣ #鎖国 #closedcountry #immigration #35mm #FilmPhotography #nijima #covid19 #foreignpolicy #ACCJ #新島 #移民 #外人 #islandcountry」7月16日 17時23分
