Description

First published in 1986, Interpreting Japanese Society has established itself as a foundational text in Japanese studies. This newly revised and updated edition demonstrates the enduring value of anthropological approaches to understanding Japan's complex social fabric. Written by contributors with direct experience living and working in Japan, the book examines religion, ritual, leisure, family dynamics, and social relations whilst exploring distinctly Japanese conceptions of time and space that often diverge significantly from Western perspectives. The anthropological lens reveals insights into cultural practices and social structures that shaped modern Japanese society, making this edition an essential resource for students, scholars, and anyone seeking deeper understanding of Japan beyond surface-level observation.

Key Features

Routledge publication offers a revised and updated edition that reflects current scholarship on Japanese anthropology and society.

The book covers religion, ritual, leisure, family and social relations as studied by anthropologists with fieldwork experience in Japan.

Japanese preconceptions of time and space are examined to reveal cultural concepts that differ fundamentally from Western frameworks.

Originally published in 1986 and now refreshed, the edition combines classic anthropological insights with contemporary perspectives on Japanese culture.
