With a state focused more on the goals of mechanization, urbanization, and a modern military, it fell to local elites in villages across Japan to bring rice production into the modern era. This book explores these elites, presenting a view of the transformation of Japanese agriculture from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.
