Abstract	The present article explores the way children engaged with the buraku issue in Japan shape the collective discourses concerning the "buraku minority identity", and re-design the "Otherness", through being rooted in non-ethnic and universal standards, such as local attachment, socioeconomic values, community and family-based relationships. The author illustrates this by introducing the various social fields in which children participate in the representation of the "buraku culture", with a focus on children in Kinegawa and surroundings, in Tokyo. (Contains 19 notes.) (As Provided).
