  In Japan as in the US, family farming is on the wane, increasingly rejected by the younger generation in favor of more promising economic pursuits and comforts. This is a study of Japanese farm women's lives in the present: its central figure is 42-year-old Haruko, a woman who exemplifies and makes a mockery of the stereotype of Japanese women.
