The essay reconstructs, within the framework of the Japanese migratory phenomenon directed towards Latin America between the 19th and 20th centuries, the modest flow of emigrants that headed towards the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, identifying the Japanese areas of origin and the Uruguayan departments of reception. The essay highlights the role played by the small Issei community (first generation Japanese) who found employment mainly in the floriculture sector. The Japanese, in fact, took over from the Italian immigrant families in the management of this sector, so much so that in the 1990s the Nikkei (Japanese emigrants and their descendants) controlled 80% of the total flower production of the small Latin American country.
