Summary:
"A call to preserve disappearing facets of Japan's rich and ancient culture, this book takes its inspiration from the 1960s classic, Hidden Hamlets by Shirasu Masako. Like Shirasu, Kerr travels to remote and lesser-known places around Japan where pockets of traditional culture can still be found. Some are faraway--like Aogashima Island, 200 miles south of Tokyo--while others are easy to reach, such as Miidera temple just east of Kyoto. Along the way, Kerr looks beyond the forestry plantations and concrete construction projects that are transforming once-beautiful landscapes, to uncover clues and secrets that can help preserve Japan's cultural and environmental treasures"--Publisher's description.
