'New Village') is a Japanese utopian community founded by the author, artist and philosopher Saneatsu Mushanokōji,[1][2] which has been approved as a foundation by the local government after its establishment.

Although there is an art gallery which also produces some publications, and various members have at times worked as potters, for much of its existence, most of the community's income has come from agriculture, including battery-hen eggs (and fertilizer produced from their manure), shiitake, rice, organic vegetables, and to a lesser extent green tea, apricots, and bread.

The income earned by activities in the village is pooled, and individual members receive only 'pocket money', but all other needs are met, including housing, food, medical care, and schooling.

Members live in their own houses, in 'conventional' family units with private possessions, but most food is eaten in a communal dining area which also has a stage used for occasional plays and concerts.

The balance sheet[8] at that time shows 114m yen of land assets, with 21m each for works of art and buildings, versus negligible liabilities.
