Icho Danchi Kanagawa
The public housing complex is situated on the outskirts of Tokyo, adjacent to the Atsugi U.S. Air Base. During the 1980s, the Japanese government established a detention centre for refugees from the Vietnam War and subsequent conflicts in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The public housing project subsequently became the home for these refugees, many of whom had Chinese backgrounds. Furthermore, since the 1980s, Japanese orphans from China who were left behind after the Second World War have been returning to Japan. Many have relocated to Icho Danchi in search of a Chinese-speaking community. Further, many immigrants, refugees, and migrant workers from different countries have been moving in and out of the area, creating different language-speaking communities.
