| Summary: | Ogata-mura is a village founded in 1964 upon farmland reclaimed from a lagoon in Japan's Akita prefecture that was intended to serve as a model for efficient and highly mechanized agriculture. In this work, Wood (Akita U., Japan) explores the process of Ogata-mura's development from the planning stages to the present, focusing on the ways in which village planning and settlement affected social and economic development, the impact of the central government's agricultural and regional policies on the community, and the ways in which Ogata-mura can (or cannot) serve as model for the future of Japanese agriculture.
