*Illustrative imageChanging communities in postwar Okinawa
In postwar Okinawa, the strength of communities in which local people helped one another gradually weakened. The lab examines the background to this through the spread of values centered on family and homeownership, and through the experience of losing one's hometown and building a new one.
*Illustrative imageReconnecting communities through cooperative work
Kyodo rodo (cooperative work), in which workers invest in the business and run it through discussion, is an attempt to reweave ties within a community. Through cases such as a collectively run bookstore in Okinawa, the lab considers new ways of building communities.
