In the historiography of nineteenth-century Japan, the transformation from a “preindustrial” to an “industrial” labor force has consistently been viewed through the analytical lens of the nation-state. This essay offers an alternative perspective by following the early career of one laborer who moved from Japan to Hawai‘i in 1889. His story offers historians a chance to reframe “Japanese” labor history in its transition from agrarian to industrial practices. More broadly, the essay explores the challenges of “global labor history” by highlighting the limited analytical use of allegedly universal terms, offering instead the Japanese concept of “circulation” as a basis for new research
