By observing a scheme piloted by the Japanese government to promote traditional craft industries, I will show how a cultural form and its practitioners are attached to a particular place, and how the government s support of traditional craft products invites outside evaluation and consumption of those products. The case study of a traditional woven textile, Kijoka-no-Basho-fu, produced in Okinawa Prefecture, suggests that community allows practitioners to embody the time-space configuration of their work and also frames the public perception of this work as tradition . Cultural heritage within a community creates a site where one may recognise one s self through one s experience of outside values and social change.}, year = {2013}, journal = {International Journal of Intangible Heritage}, volume = {8}, pages = {135-152}, issn = {19753586 (ISSN)}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84891129994&partnerID=40&md5=dcc9040be9384aadf80c6aebc9221d69}, language = {English}, }
