Abstract
Offshore Wind farms are relatively new in Japan. The country has need for offshore wind farms amidst deep demographic crisis, need for energy autonomy, and is placed within a cultural heritage specific to the country such as Shinto or satoumi. However, most of the studies about offshore wind farms focuses on economics, politics, and climate while few really look at the cultural impact it may influence. Using nature discourses as an analytical framework, one can ask, “What are the discourses that influence the maritime industry stakeholders' perception on offshore wind farms in Japan?”
