| Outline of Research at the Start |
The power of socially engaged art, tourism, and creative place-making activities as an instrument for the revitalization of rural and peripheral regions is receiving more international attention in both Japan and China. These emerging cross-national/regional ‘art grafting’ projects give rise to several multidisciplinary research questions that encompass humanities and social sciences. This study examines the origins of art revitalization in both rural Japan and China, and the performance of new grafting-type art initiatives by bringing Japan’s art revitalization experience into rural China.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The project led to the publication of six articles in international journals and one chapter in a refereed book. It also organized an international academic conference on island studies, drawing 55 participants from 25 countries to Miyajima in June 2023. This event highlighted Japan's island challenges, attracting attention from international researchers. Through 8 international conferences, this project connects scholars including rural, island, creative tourism, tourism geography, China, and Japan studies.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
This year, research continued in the islands of the Seto Inland Sea and Goto Island, Nagasaki. Each activity was followed by the accumulation of data and experience for the writing of a book and other studies the following year. The design of the book's framework was completed this year.
Simultaneously, five field surveys were undertaken throughout the year. Three of these surveys were conducted in Japan, while the remaining two took place across six islands in the Seto Inland Sea, with an extension to the Goshima Islands in Nagasaki.
In China, interviews were carried out with the organizers of two rural art festivals during fieldwork. These collected data will be utilized to compose a paper and a book within the coming year.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In 2023, an international conference on the study of island cultures was already held in Japan, and in January 2025, another international conference on the revitalization of artistic islands is planned to be held on Hainan Island, China.
This year, we plan to collaborate with South China Normal University to conduct a quantitative field survey of art villages in Qingtian, China. The results will be presented at the January 2025 Hainan Society.
This year, we will continue to work on the publication of the thesis book based on the fieldwork.
