From our research we found that such peripheral prefectures as Okinawa, Kagoshima, Ehime, Shimane, Niigata and Iwate have been directly connected with each other through bullfighting both in individual and small municipality levels, and actively promoting grassroots exchange by holding National Bullfight Summit Meeting every year. Furthermore this grassroots exchange through bullfighting looks to have an edge of going around the world by being connected to the Korean municipalities which have been regularly holding bullfighting. This is a totally new perspective against the vertical perspective of ‘Center-Periphery’, which has long been a dominant perspective of ‘City and Rural Area’. Thus we got the perspective of ‘Periphery-Periphery Network’. If we take a look at Kagoshima with this analytical framework, we could realize anew that Kagsohima was a pioneering prefecture for developing this ‘Periphery-Periphery Network’ by initiating ‘Karaimo exchange program’ and ‘Karamojia project’ in 1980s. That is, Kagoshima was a far front runner in grassroots exchange in Japan. In this paper, we try to discuss on the possibility of the grassroots exchange in Kagoshima in relation to Asia in global age by reevaluating Karamojia project from the viewpoint of ‘Periphery-Periphery Network’ and the examination of the grassroots exchange by Bullfighting Culture among the peripheral areas.}, pages = {9--18}, title = {アジアへの草の根交流と鹿児島}, volume = {49}, year = {} }
