by R. P. Dore (Author)
Ronald Dore offers the reader insight into the changing rural life of Japan in this fascinating study of a village some 100 miles from Tokyo where he lived first in 1955 and again in the early 1970s. A new Afterword reports on the acceleration of change to a once self-sufficient community most of whose young men now commute to city jobs instead of working the land. Dore comments on the effects of the 1993 election--Shinohata in a non-LDP-governed Japan.
Front Jacket
This book presents a marvelously intimate view into the flood of little changes that lie behind the great transformations that have swept Japan in recent times. . . . It makes enlightening, fascinating, and often amusing reading for the casual reader as for the specialist.--Edwin O. Reischauer
