In 2018, Nishio, who lived in Kuala Lumpur for five and a half years from the age of 5, experienced a turn of fate and began researching a cemetery for Japanese people in Penang, Malaysia. 80% of the people buried there were Japanese women known as Karayuki. Nishio will talk about the journeys of these women who came mainly from Shimabara and Amakusa, and their involvement in sex work across Southeast Asia.
