Japanese: モジ・ダス・クルゼス(英語表記)Mogi das Cruzes
Mogi das Cruzes (English spelling)
A satellite city in the southeastern part of Brazil, within the São Paulo metropolitan area (40km east). Population 125,992 (1991). Founded in the 17th century, it developed rapidly in the 20th century as a food supply center and satellite city for São Paulo. There are many small vegetable and persimmon growers in the area, and a persimmon festival is held every year. It is also the largest poultry-raising area in the state of São Paulo. As a result of the concentration of Japanese people in the metropolitan area after World War II, it is now the largest Japanese population in the country, excluding the city of São Paulo.

ブラジル南東部,サン・パウロ首都圏内(東方40km)にある衛星都市。人口12万5992(1991)。17世紀に創設されたが,20世紀になってサン・パウロの食料供給地,衛星都市として急激に発展した。一帯には小生産者中心の野菜・柿栽培者が多く,毎年柿祭が行われる。サン・パウロ州内最大の養鶏地帯でもある。第2次大戦後の日系人の首都圏集中の結果,現在ではサン・パウロ市を除けば国内最大の日系集団地である。【前山 隆】
