Abstract

 This is a translation of Tsukasa Uetsu­ka’s plan for the exploration of the Amazon and which paved the way for the success of jute farming in the flood­plains of the States of Amazonas and Pará, leading Brazil to self-sufficiency in jute fiber in 1951. Tsukasa Uetsuka (1890-1978) was responsible for the new Jap­anese immigration modality through the formation of a group of leaders (koutakuseis) and the development of a research institute in Vila Amazônia in the munici­pality of Parintins-AM. From this text it is possible to understand the entire initial process , the concession contract of one million hectares by the governor of Am­azonas Efigênio Salles in 1927 to the Japanese and the first steps of the exploration of the State of Amazonas, presentation of the Amazon and its wealth to future ex­plorers. The text was published in the Japanese monthly magazine Kingu in June 1931 and is found today on the digital website of the Library Diet Library.
