 1995 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Government Service - Morihiko Hiramatsu
Oita Prefecture was ranked twelfth in the country and number one in Kyushu on this indicator by the Economic Planning Agency of Japan.
Oita Prefecture remained relatively poor until the late twentieth century, relying mostly on agriculture (rice, oranges, and vegetables), forestry, cattle breeding, and a bit of tourism as well as fishing along its 746 kilometers of coastline on the Inland Sea.
Overall, Oita is in eleventh place for "gross national satisfaction." Per capita income grew from 1.6 million yen to 2 million yen in the prefecture over a ten-year period; in 1995, it jumped to 2.52 million yen or U.S.$22,700 (at the exchange rate of 111 yen to U.S.$1.00).

Kunisaki has, for the past 12 or 13 hundred years, been a center of mikkyo, or esoteric Buddhism.
This is sort of a catchall term for the kinds of Buddhism that have lots of secret handshakes, interesting dieties, and incredibly intricate cosmologies that are just begging to be turned into doctoral theses by religion geeks but largely ignored by everybody else.
In the boonies (and Kunisaki definitely qualifies, although in a good way), families with little boys fly these carp at certain times of the year as a wish for their sons to succeed.

 Migration & Diffusion
I was easily able to decipher all the engraved earliest Japanese alphabets with a certain letter-code, which was familiar to some mountain tribes, "Sanka", who used to live in higher mountains since prehistoric ages.
The "Sanka letters" and "Toyokuni letters" were used mixed on a big rock at Myoken hill, Kunisaki town, Oita pref.
In a sense, the Iwakura (altar) rock found at Kunisaki peninsula did show us the origin of the earliest letters and was enough to present us evidence of the truth of what the both history books recorded to tell us then.

 Arakan, Rakan, Arhat, Arahant, Lohan -- Therevadan Saint
There are also Rakan-ji temples in Otaru (Hokkaido) and Oita (Kyushu) with carvings every bit as bizarre as those at Otagi Nenbutsu-ji, but the statues here are special because most of them were made by amateur carvers.
In 1981, when the 1950 typhoon damage was finally repaired, worshippers at the temple decided to donate rakan sculptures to the temple in honour of its refurbishing.
Just one of many sites on the Kunisaki Peninsula in southern Japan (Kyushu), which is home to many stone carvings of the Buddha and Bosatsu and also home to numerous Sacred Sites and Holy Mountains.
