The ?gembe region of Kenya is a rich agricultural area on the equator，where people live in a unique time-world. Whenever a problem arises，people do not hasten to a conclusion，but ‘wait’ as a means of solution. This does not mean doing nothing. It is simply acknowledging the bene?ts of waiting for a time when the community is better able to resolve the issue.An important characteristic of this indigenous community is its orientation toward communal intentions and exclusion of individualism. In over 20 years of research and extensive ?eldwork，the author has traced the major social and historical turning points such as the price collapse of coffee beans，which had supported the local economy，as well as the accumulation of social events such as collective sanctions against sexual predators and multiple homicide compensation claims，to observe how internal village con?icts，initially dif?cult to resolve by consensus，are overcome by waiting，before rallying to regain ‘communal intent’ by ‘concealing’ the individual.This ethnography portrays a contemporary African agrarian people living between their unique time-world，their views of humanity and social structure，the institutions of state governance，and the global cash crop economy.

The people there lead a natural life shaped by their various seasonal festivals.

“I have waited eagerly for the day when Unsung Heroes of Old Japan would be translated into English and made available to people around the world. I wrote the book with the faint hope that people might one day become more like the men and women portrayed here. Whether humanity has any universal values, I can’t say. But looking back over the sweep of human history, I am convinced that values like those shown here result in happiness for the individual and society.” (From ‘Preface to the English edition’ by the author) True stories of three little-known Japanese of the Edo period who lived lives of sublime selflessness and purity, blurring the boundary between self and others. Merchant Kokudaya Juzaburo comes up with a brilliant scheme to rescue his dying town from poverty. He and others go deep into debt, risking all to raise money for the cash-strapped daimyo and receive annual interest in return. Prodigious scholar and former Zen monk Nakane Tori refuses a government post and elects to live in abject poverty, weaving sandals. Though perhaps the age's greatest poet, he throws his works into the fire and ends his days teaching in a country village. Otagaki Rengetsu, a noted beauty in Kyoto, loses two husbands and five children. She becomes a Buddhist nun and devotes her life to poetry and pottery. With her savings she feeds the hungry and builds a bridge across Kamo River.
