Annotation:
	Describes the "complete reproduction of Shakespeare's birthplace" in Maruyama, Japan. Considers this reproduction in relation to theme parks, simulacra and authenticity, and tourism. Suggests that this reproduction is part of a "Japanese method of historical preservation or conservation" that "reconstructs" other buildings. Reprinted in An Anthropological Lifetime in Japan: The Writings of Joy Hendry (Brill, 2017).
