Marriage in Contemporary Japan by Yoko Tokuhiro
This is the first book in recent years to explore the contemporary state of marriage in Japanese society. Setting out the different perceptions and expectations of marriage in todays Japan, the book discusses how economic issues and the family impact on marital behaviour."A carefully developed book that explicitly sets out its questions, theoretical influences, and methodologyNot only is the writing clear and precise, but the book’s conclusions are also supported with data from various sources... For those interested in the topics of marriage and feminist movements, and especially for those studying gender in Japan, Marriage in Contemporary Japan offers an interesting glimpse into the Japanese institution of matrimony." -Evan Koike, University of Kansas; Anthropological Quarterly Winter 2013.
