Cross-Cultural Perspectives
Shiiba-son
is a rural mountain village located in the middle of Kyushu. It is very
unlike Tokyo and other popular Japanese cities. At times, Shiiba is like
a different country. Locals sometimes joke about the need for a passport
to enter. Shiiba, like the rest of inaka (rural Japan) is where
Japanese culture has its roots and where even today, draws its strength
from. Ironically, the key to understanding contemporary Japanese culture
lies out in inaka, not in places like Tokyo or Osaka.
