In my thesis, I provide a relational approach on how political participation in rural Japan is linked to the activists’ well-being. While existing research has not come to a clear conclusion, this study uses an iterative qualitative research design that identifies six dimensions of how to link the two phenomena. Based on anthropological approaches to the topic, I demonstrate how my respondents emphasize the reciprocity of well-being in the process of political action. In Japanese regions characterized by demographic decline and aging, well-being is interpreted primarily as a relational phenomenon whose meaning unfolds against the backdrop of a specifically rural context, but is also one situated in the everyday lives of the interviewees. I perceive well-being as something that is not only linked to the natural landscape in that particular area, but is above all connected to the enjoyment of other people.

Being active and sharing happy moments: exploring the relationship of political participation and subjective well-being
