The number of the Japanese emigrants to Korea in 1880 amounted to 934, which represented 61.9 per cent of the whole sum of the Japanese emigrants. Although the emigrants to Korea were less than those to Hawaii after that, in 1910 they amounted to 25,396, and the number of residents, 171,543 in Korea reached the top, being far more than 98,048 in Formosa or 70,764 in Hawaii. The Japanese residents in Korea mainly consisted of foreign traders, brokers and retail dealers, who obtained the base of penetration, settling there with the help of the Japanese government's adjuvant policy on behalf of the residents and with the support of privileged big seisho (businessmen with political affiliation). Such a feature made a striking contrast to the agricultural emigrants to Hawaii who hardly enjoyed the support of the Japanese government. It was because there was a national demand, in the stage of nascent penetration of big capitalists, to establish a Japanese footing in Korea by the leading of 'influential merchants'. And those 'influential merchants', through the activities of their chambers of commerce, not only exerted a great influence upon the goverment policy but privately established the bases of penetration and settlements by co-ordinating their interests with the Japanese residents Koreans.
