Take a trip to old Japan with William Scott Wilson as he travels the ancient Kiso Road, a legendary route that remains much the same today as it was hundreds of years ago. The Kisoji, which runs through the Kiso Valley in the Japanese Alps, has been in use since at least 701 CE. In the 17th century, it was the route that the daimyo (warlords) used for their biennial trips - along with their samurai and porters - to the new capital of Edo (now Tokyo).

新潟県北東、佐渡よりもさらに北の海に浮かぶ粟島。一島一村の粟島浦村に帰属し、独自に発電所も所有する。佐渡と同じく、西海岸は日本海の荒波に削られ、断崖絶壁の奇観を成し、初夏には岩ゆりで彩られる。歴史も古く、縄文遺跡が残り、万葉集には粟島を詠んだ歌が残っている。東海岸、島の中心集落・内浦の八所神社は、島の総鎮守と言えるが、その祭神は古代から天皇の守護神として宮中で祀られて来た「宮中八神」であり、歴史の古さの窺わせる。伝承によれば、最初に島に住んでいたのは蝦夷であった。9世紀初め頃には北部九州から松浦家がやって来て、内浦にて共存したという。やがて越前より本保家が渡って来ると、蝦夷と松浦家は西海岸に追いやられた。その後蝦夷は滅亡する。それから様々な変遷を経て、政治面を担う本保家、財政面を担う脇川家、学問面を担う神丸家と、各氏族が役割分担して島を統治して来た。このように、一つの島にあって、様々な氏族があるいは争い、あるいは共存して興亡する様は、一国の歴史を見るようでもある。本土と隔絶した自然が、こうした独自の歴史と文化を育んで来たのだ。常識をはるかに超越したゆるキャラ「泡姫ちゃん」など、現代の粟島にも、その独自性、独立性を見る事が出来る。離島というメインストリームに「まつろわぬ」存在を考察する。
