		It was one of many uprisings of the same kind in Japan around that time, occurring in reaction to the dramatic and drastic changes to society which came about in the wake of the 1868 Meiji Restoration.
		What set Chichibu apart, however, was the scope of the uprising, which included upwards of 3000 participants, and the severity of the government response.
		Thus, one of the primary factors underlying the impetus for an uprising was the farmers' desire to rescue themselves from poverty.

	Thoughts on JET
		I'm teaching in a relatively progressive school district, living alone in a new apartment intended for a small family, and working mostly with friendly and enthusiastic people.
		I had no idea what/where Chichibu City was at the time I mailed off my application, but now I feel as though I would have asked for it had I known about this place.
		I am lucky in that I live within a couple hours of Tokyo and am not completely cut off from Western civilization as I know it, but there are a lot of other metropolitan areas which would have provided adequate alternate lifelines as well.
