"""If this were simply an ethnography of a dairy farm, its usefulness to the field of Japan Studies might be limited, but in Hansen’s framing its usefulness is abundantly demonstrated. Hansen is able to show why a livelihood that seems mundane and taken-for-granted is worth analyzing in the context of Japan—the farm, as he discusses it, does indeed have substantial implications beyond itself."" — Gordon Mathews, Chinese University of Hong Kong ""This superb ethnography is one of the best works on agricultural Japan in many years. It is also an important entry into the discussion of Japan as a heterogeneous society, as it interrogates and critiques works that attempt to portray Japan as homogeneous and monocultural."" — John W. Traphagan, author of Cosmopolitan Rurality, Depopulation, and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in 21st-Century Japan"
