“…According to records, an estimated 90% of ‘comfort women’ did not survive the Great War II (Blakemore, 2019; Ramseyer, 2021). Kasai (2018) addressed another facet of Japan in his article, which portrays itself as a country that practices ‘value-based diplomacy’ However, Japan has lost its image as a country that practices ‘value-free diplomacy’ in world affairs (Mahmud et el., 2020). Kasai goes on to mention that Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights activist Desmond Tutu once said, ‘If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.’…”

Due to the long-standing labour shortage in Japan, the issue of migration has recently come to the forefront of public and private discourse. This article examines a hitherto under-researched area, namely, how Japan has maintained its traditional homogeneity and Japan’s reluctance to accept migrants and refugees. To this end, we have attempted to examine why there is a reluctance to accept refugees. We assume that homogeneity fosters a culture of rejection. Using snowballing, we interviewed 12 Japanese (students and professionals) and 15 foreigners (professionals and students) who have lived in Japan for at least ten years. Our arguments were supported by empirical information and underpinned by the theory of ethnic demarcation and homogeneity. This research has critical policy implications for refugee regimes and host countries.
