Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, I explore the unchanged core of Myanmar villages and clarify what kind of society the village in Myanmar. I compare village structures in Japan, Thailand, and Myanmar from the perspective of what kind of “cohesionCohesion” the villages have, that is, village communality. First, I survey the academic literature on Japanese and Thai village studies, and organise these studies into the thesis of group or organisation and the thesis of subjective cognition. I apply this logic to the reality of Myanmar’s rural villagesRural village to construct a theory of Myanmar village society. This is a unique attempt, which has no predecessors. While seeming similar to Japan, the village groups and organisations in Myanmar, as well as the village itself, are generated and function on completely different principles.
