About this book

Tsuneichi Miyamoto (19071981) a leading Japanese folklore scholar and rural advocate walked 160 000 kilometers to conduct interviews and capture a dying way of life. This collection of photos vignettes and life stories from pre- and postwar rural Japan is the first English translation of his modern Japanese classic. From blowfish to landslides Miyamotos stories come to life in Jeffrey Irishs fluid translation.
