Hello Via;

I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out why this post or photos was cut off? Then I saw what I wrote. lol!

This historical village closed it's community from the rest of Japan during a feudal period from 1600 to 1868. It was a power struggle involving the emperor. The village supported itself by rearing mulberry trees and raising silkworms.

I asked if I wanted to, could we move in this village but most likely would be voted down by the generational families.

Wow a real hermit kingdom (or village). Is it like Uruweras in NZ. This is a community of Maori that closed itself off from the rest of NZ when the treaty was signed. No Europeans were allowed to enter.

Though no Maori really still live the old way anymore in pas or villages...they've become technologically advanced now and embrace all the mod cons.
