   	Yes and people who worked at trades like tanning and leather crafting as   
     well as butchers were traditional outcasts and still are rejected by   
   other Japanese.   
      
   	Koreans have been brought to Japan since its earliest days as an Empire to   
   enrich the culture with their arts and religious knowlege and hundreds   
   of years   
   back when Japan had invaded Korea under Hideyoshi many artisans were willing   
   to flee to Japan to escape the strife that the Japanese had brought to   
   Korea.   
   	But Japan recently employed lots of foreign workers in low paid jobs   
   and housed them in very inadequate conditions. Recently means for me in   
   the last 20-25 years.   
   	Source about centuries back in manga: HYOUGE MONO Manga about   
     the  very real life of this accomplished tea master who was Sasuke   
   Furuta,   
      but ended up  as Tea Master to Hideyoshi.  Incredible manga was   
   available   
      on line with but like the real life the story has a rather bitter ending.
