Excerpt from Japan: A Sailor's Visit to the Island Empire It is with much diffidence that I send this little book afloat, well knowing that many imperfections are in its pages, for which I ask pardon, and hope as a first attempt the errors may be forgiven. On my first voyage to Japan I became very much interested in the people and country, and while there availed myself of every opportunity to learn their customs, ceremonies, traditions and legends, from the natives as well as from foreigners. This information was increased by a few books obtained relating to the Island Empire. With the intention of interesting my family and a few intimate friends, I compiled from my reading, sightseeing and tales related to me, the following sketches to which a subsequent voyage enabled me to make some additions, and as they interested many friends I have been advised by them to give my "notes" to the public. In so doing, no claim is laid to originality aside from what was observed in my intercourse with the people, and I only claim to have condensed what appeared to be the most noteworthy of whatever was read or seen in this wonderful land.

Neoliberal globalization affects the livelihoods and socio-economic conditions of people all over the world. This is also true for Japan where increased foreign trade and foreign investments have dramatically changed the internal landscape of the country during recent decades. There are many social groups for whom globalization has brought positive changes. International Japanese companies and their employees, for example, have benefited from the commercial expansion and rise in trade exchanges. How then does globalization influence the subjective experiences and worldviews of ordinary Japanese at the periphery? How are local residents outside the centers of affluence affected by the global forces of mass consumerism and cultural diversity? The local fisheries community of Katase-Enoshima is very close to the megacities of Tokyo and Yokohama and is visited by almost ten million visitors a year. This field research study examines how local residents have coped with the risks and opportunities of modern mass tourism, both historically and in modern times. This book contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of social transformation processes. The findings suggest that mass tourism is a double-edged sword: on one side, residents try to attract consumer tourists in large numbers because they depend economically on them; on the other side, they maintain strong and exclusive community bonds and self-assert their cultural identity of pure ‘Japaneseness’ through festivals, religious zeal and myths. In other words, they benefit indirectly from globalization but they do not want to be part of it.
