Description

Explore the rural landscapes of Japan through the Okubo Diary, a Routledge Revival edition. Originally published in 1985, this work provides a lively and colourful account of life in a remote Japanese valley. Based on four years of intensive fieldwork, the book offers a unique perspective from an anthropologist living among the local community. This text functions as a personal journal and ethnographic study, blending social and moral commentary with direct observation. It captures the daily lives of valley residents and the relationships that form between them and an outsider studying their culture. Whether you are interested in anthropology, sociology, or cultural history, this sensitive portrayal offers a deep look into the social structures and personal connections of a traditional way of life.
