Towards the idea of those who are considered to be extinct
It has been thought that small stores will eventually disappear at the fringes of the global capitalist economy. But is that really the case? Looking into the shops (misenoma) in the "town" of Demachi in the north of Kyoto, new initiatives are born, people move in, and the town is constantly changing. From a long-established kimono shop, a street roasted sweet potato vendor, and a bicycle-share service in front of the station... From the dense fieldwork depicted within a 2km radius, we can hear the sounds of the town's bustle and the sounds of the town resonating.
