Since the mid-nineteenth century, agricultural development and
fisheries management in northern Japan have been profoundly shaped
by how people within and beyond Japan have compared Hokkaido's
landscapes to those of other places, as part of efforts to make the
new Japanese nation-state more legibly "modern." In doing so, they
engaged in non-conforming modes of thinking that reached out to
diverse places, including the American West and southern Chile.
Today, the comparisons made by Hokkaido fishing industry
professionals, scientists, and Ainu indigenous groups between the
island's forests, fields, and waters and those of other places
around the world continue to dramatically affect the region's
approaches to environmental management and its physical landscapes.
In this far-ranging ethnography, Heather Anne Swanson shows how
this traffic in ideas shapes the course of Hokkaido's development,
its fish, and the lives of people on and beyond the island while
structuring trade dynamics, political economy, and multispecies
relations in watersheds around the globe.
