New Book Features Inaka Stories from Three JETs
The new book Inaka: Portrait of Rural Japan is a collection of short stories featuring contributions from three JET alumni: Austin Gilkeson (Nagasaki, 2004-2006), Sam Baldwin from the UK, and Sarah Coomber (Yamaguchi, 19994-1996). Inaka: Portraits of Life in Rural Japan is an affectionate but unsentimental taste of authentic rural living: inconvenient superstitions, the tough realities of training to be a Buddhist monk, the mystery of an abandoned shrine, an ancient pilgrimage given new life, fishermen’s tales, cycling adventures, examples of rural revitalization in tea farm tourism and the indigo dyeing industry, hypothermia-inducing housing, and friendly neighbors sharing old customs and local histories.
