Abstract
Today the society of Rurban-village is a new type of regional society which is widely spread, and it differs from the villages of the past. Many studies have taken a serious view of the process of the high accumulation of capital ; therefore, this approach to the correspondence between native dwellers and new corners has been quite inadequate.
Therefore, in this report, my principal aim is to define and clarify functioning of the Rurban-village society, by describing the relationship between the leaders in the Rural Community and new corners as an example of a certain regional area which remains comparatively rural.
Furthermore, I intend to articulate “Burakukai” in terms of the substructural, administrative function and to emphasize the changes in the method of “Kuhi”, which provides the main financial source for the management of “Burakukai”. Since this method of collecting “Kuhi” was introduced in 1959, it has been changed three times.
Notwithstanding, the logic of the maintenance of the prestige by the leaders in the Rural Community permeates these processes and “Kuhi's Classes” remain still fixed.
