	OLYMPICS/NAGANO 1998
		Nagano is a world of deep, ancestral sounds: the traditional melody of a potato seller, audible downtown; the mournful strains of an enka ballad (often known as Japanese country-and-western) in a tiny noodle shop; the martial tunes that reverberate around the old battlefield at Kawanakajima.
		Though only 200 km northwest of Tokyo, Nagano has long been the provincial capital farthest in time from the center of Japan, since, unlike the cities on the outlying islands of Hokkaido and Okinawa, it has never had an airport.
		Throughout its history, Nagano's renown has been as a temple town, home to one of the country's most ecumenical Buddhist centers, Zenkoji, a 40-structure complex set against the mountains.
