AB - This paper considers a Japanese Chinatown in Kobe, and in a particular area called Nanking-machi. Based on an extensive literary review, the first section of this paper clarifies the history of Chinese living in Kobe over the past 140 years. Next, I analyze how this area was formed not only by foreign residents but a mix of nationals and foreigners. Chinese traders and food related businesses prospered much on Nanking-machi leading up to the 1920s. The war between Japan and China then caused a decrease in population and thus a decline in the economy. In 1945 this area was almost completely destroyed during an air raid. Later in the 1980s, Nanking-machi began to prevail again by the Nanking Promotion Association and Kobe city. This association held a Vernal Equinox Day Festival in 1987 to great success and caused Japan to fully recognize Nanking-machi as a strong economic area. Moving towards the present I recount the progress of Nanking-machi through the observations of a study group, a museum and Chinese school.
