Ikuno-ku, Osaka

Ikuno-ku, Osaka

Ikuno (生野区, "-ku") is one of 24 wards of Osaka, Japan.

The Tsuruhashi (鶴橋) area of Ikuno-ku is well-known for the large number of Korean-Japanese citizens (Zainichi Korean) living there, as well as for its large number of yakiniku (Korean-style barbecue) restaurants. Many families from Korea have lived in the Tsuruhashi district for three generations or more. While some Koreans freely chose to immigrate to Japan, many were forced to move to Japan when the Japanese occupied Korea. Many were forced to work in factories, in mines and as labourers, often under appalling conditions.
