The crisis of the late 1980s, which produced fluctuations in the exchange rate, inflation and recession, had a strong impact on the country and, consequently, on the Japanese community. Faced with a series of economic problems, a significant number of Nikkei tried the experience of temporary work in Japan (the dekasegui), with varying success. In some cases they still live in Japan, others managed to recover, save and return to the country. The latter tried to invest in new profitable businesses. New ventures emerged. -- The crisis of the late 1980s, which produced fluctuations in the exchange rate, inflation and recession, had a strong impact on the country and, consequently, on the Japanese community.
