Interpreting Japanese Society: Anthropological Approaches

Overview

First published in 1986,Interpreting Japanese Society became something of a classic in the field. In this newly updated edition, the value of anthropological approaches to help understand an ancient and complex nation are clearly demonstrated.
While living and working in Japan, the contributors have studied important areas of society. Religion, ritual, leisure, family and social relations are covered as are Japanese perceptions of time and space, often so different from western concepts.
This new edition of Interpreting Japanese Society shows what an important contribution research in such a rapidly changing industrialised nation can make to the subject of anthropology.
