Reviews
'Arne Røkkum has produced a complex, nuanced, and carefully argued ethnography on nature, ritual, society, and symbolism in the Ryukyu Islands, specifically, in this case, Yonaguni Island...There are some wonderful vignettes in this ethnography and some well-constructed analytical frames of reference...it is informative, well researched, and exposes a level of detailed observation and analysis rarely found in the English-language literature on the Ryukyus.' - Matthew Allen, Journal of Japanese Studies, Volume 33Customers who bought Nature, Ritual, and Society in Japan's Ryukyu Islands also bought:
