In 𝘙𝘺𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘯, Chris McMorran explores how Kurokawa’s two dozen traditional inns, or ryokan, mobilize hospitality to create a rural escape from the globalized dimensions of everyday life in urban Japan. McMorran spent nearly two decades researching ryokan in Kurokawa, including a full year of welcoming guests, carrying luggage, scrubbing baths, cleaning rooms, washing dishes, and talking with co-workers and owners about their jobs, relationships, concerns, and aspirations. He presents the realities of ryokan work—celebrated, messy, ignored, exploitative, and liberating—and introduces the people who keep the inns running by making guests feel at home.
