Taking the Goki-Shichido (Five Home Provinces and Seven Circuits of
Ancient Japan) as a theoretical framework, this book examines
shrinking Japan from a regional variation perspective by
municipality along the ancient Tokaido, which comprises 15
provinces, and seven prefectures today. The study identifies the
principal explanatory factors based on the small area data of
e-Stat through GPS statistical software tools such as G-census and
EvaCva, within a historical perspective. This historical knowledge
helps in understanding the significance of the regional cultural
heritage that remains in each municipality today. The book pays
special attention to municipal variations within the same
prefecture, presenting a completely unique approach from what other
researchers have pursued.This volume studies two present-day
prefectures along the ancient Tokaido for detailed analyses of the
impacts of regional variations of population decline in Japan. They
are Shizuoka Prefecture, made up of the former Tootoumi, Suruga,
and Izu provinces, and Mie Prefecture, formed by the ancient
provinces of Iga, Ise, Shima, and the eastern part of Kii as
examples to show the impacts of municipal power on regional
variations of shrinking Japan. The reasons for selecting these two
prefectures of the ancient Tokaido are twofold. First, they are
made up of a multiple number of the ancient provinces. Second,
other prefectures that fall under the Tokaido have been studied in
the previous works of the present author by adopting the same
methods of analyses. Thus, by presenting unique analyses of
regional variations on small municipal levels, with demographic
variables, social indicators, and historical identities of
municipalities in Shizuoka and Mie prefectures along the Tokaido,
this book offers suggestions for effective regional policy to
revitalize shrinking Japan to a sustainable one.
