Abstract:
"From an environmentalist perspective, the book examines the life world of villagers in modern Japan and their wisdom in daily life, with the focus on their religious life, preparation for natural disasters, irrigation systems, maintenance methods of forests and changing village structures. With ample ethnographic illustrations, the author explores the potential of indigenous philosophy rooted in rural life and a fresh form of communalism in Japan." -- Publisher
