- ReDiscovery and ReDefining Japan at http://nippon-france.blogspot.com On 3rd - 4th of June, 2006 ( Sat. - Sun. ), handred and fifty Japanese came to Takashima city, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. "ReDiscovery Japan Private School" has its principal object that modern Japanese would rediscover Japanese villages, countries and small towns, local industiries,agriculutre, art crafts and traditional art and those related people.
They would reconsider and redefine their identity as "a Japanese", because Japan lost its unique point of views in actual globalization. They themselves do not reconsider what their ancients made in a long history. Globalization, standardization and stereotype all over Japan.The views of local towns and even villages in Japan look same and they live daily life in a quite similar manner. Due to those background, Japanese culture and art had lost power.
