Description

This comprehensive social anthropological study examines whaling culture in Japan, tracing its historical development and profound impact on local communities. The book explores the complex work organisation of whaling operations, the economic significance of whaling companies in regional and national markets, and the cultural role of whales in community identity through ritual practices, food traditions, and gift-giving customs. Originally published as the first extensive English-language account of Japanese whaling history, this volume analyses what happens when established cultural practices face external threats and societal change. Ideal for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, Japanese studies, and maritime history seeking to understand how traditional industries shape and sustain cultural identity.
