This joint research looks at the impact of the shift in plough use from
the Indian plough to the Chinese plough in traditional farming in Tibet
and Nepal. With the participation of local inhabitants, we are also collecting,
examining, and cataloging the farming tools used by local communities in
Bangladesh, Assam (India), Burma (Myanmar), and Laos, and preparing exhibits
of these implements. Finally, we are examining Japanese village revival
enterprises led by local administrations, such as the Kameoka Cultural
Information Museum and the Miyama Folk Exhibit Museum in the thatched roof
village. We will consider the possibility of applying the Japanese model
to the other regions in the project and assisting in the formation of a
network of collaborating institutions. This third part of the project is
also conducted with active community participation.
