Abstract

Zomia refers to the mountainous areas that spread from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia and China, which have common features such as high altitude, poor soil, and habitats of ethnic minorities.
This book considers the Shikoku Mountains to be one of these Zomia spaces.
Researchers from various fields convey the fun of looking at the region from a multifaceted perspective that combines humanities and science.
