During the past 10 years, what intercultural communication research does has been criticized in articles of the journals of the Communication Association of Japan (CAJ) and in various symposia and panels held at the annual conventions of CAJ. This paper summarizes some of the critical points which have been discussed and reexamines them in the context of education. This paper refers to the findings from initial work on the documentary film, Rokkashomura Rhapsody. The author visited the site where the film was shot and interviewed those who appeared on screen. She also interviewed those who organized the viewings of this film. Based on this preparatory work, the author proposes that it is necessary to deconstruct the "majority" and "minority," and the "global" and "local" in intercultural communication education to overcome the binary opposition of categories and stereotypical description of culture.
