Continuing from the previous issue, this time we will visit an abandoned village in Kyotango.
There is a book written by a teacher who actually lived in this area at that time.

Living with the Children of the Deceased Village.

After the war, a depopulation storm raged in the mountainous area of Kyotango, and villages disappeared one after another. It is said that as many as 80 villages disappeared one after another. This book describes the reality of the lives of the people who lived in the midst of such an era.

And although such a large number of villages have disappeared, too few people are aware of this fact.

This is probably because they were only small villages in remote areas that disappeared, and their importance to the country was infinitely low.

However, even in these places that disappeared unnoticed, there existed hundreds of years of history and culture built by people. I can't help but feel that we are unknowingly losing something tremendous.
