Crafting Rural Japan
Book • 2024
Crafting Rural Japan discusses the place of creative village policy in the revitalization of rural Japan, highlighting how rural Japan is moving from a state of regional extinction to regional rejuvenation.
Using the case study of Tamba Sasayama in Hyogo Prefecture, collective initiatives by local government and the role of the local traditional potters are invested in fostering an aura of creativity in the region.
The book examines the complex social relations and the intertwining values of different actors to illustrate how a growing outlook on creativity, rurality, and rural creativity requires a renewed perspective on and of rural Japan.
