In 1873 the first ship with Japanese arrived in Peruvian territory. In principle, the migration sought to raise money from their agricultural work and return to Japan; However, many of them stayed in Peru and had large descendants (Takenaka, 2004). The general crisis of the 1980s meant a search for new horizons for many young people in Peru. For young Nikkei, the possibility of “returning” to the lands of their ancestors through unskilled jobs was opened, and then the figure of the dekasegi appeared. While the experiences of these young people were, and continue to be, heterogeneous and dynamic, little has been explored about the experiences of dekasegi women in a globalized world. Furthermore, dekasegi women present a generational change: they are able to access higher education, vote, and use contraceptive methods (Barrig, 2017). This research explores the femininities of Nikkei women who emigrated to Japan as dekasegi between the late 1980s and/or 1990s. Motherhood is the central and integrating component in the construction of the femininities of the interviewees. Work is the vehicle to respond to the desires of motherhood, and the breakdown of Nikkei identity that they experience due to migrating makes them rethink the exercise of motherhood in Japan and Peru.
