Description
The Elders of Tokunoshima have experienced successive changes in colonizers with accompanying changes to policies ruling life. I present new rules and regulations related to food production that became the catalyst for change in food rituals, festivities, and Indigenous identities on one island in the Amami Archipeligo.
