Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Japanese Family Marriage here differs from that of Western nations. Here it is simply a contract in which a man goes to the bride's house and takes her name almost as easily as the bride goes to his house to take his name. But it isan affair not of two individuals so much as of two families, and it is surrounded by customs that have even more strength than the new laws. The consent of parents is essential, but the code has wisely put a limit to parental authority by allowing the man of thirty and the woman of twenty-five to marry regardless of the parents' consent. Hence the vast majority of marriages is that of minors and is under parental control Marri age takes efiect upon its notification to the registrar by the parties con cerned and two witnesses The wording of this law suggests that there are marriages that don't take efect. This is just the difference bet ween a Japanese marriage and one in the West. Here the ceremonial marriage takes place with no reference whatever to its legality. The families concerned celebrate the occasion Open ly and the young couple live together as man and wife until it is convenientto have it 'f take effect and then the public office is notified that such and such persons are husband and wife, which notification constitutes the legal marriage. We foreigners are always deceiving ourselves by think ing that if the ceremony is open and society recognizes the pair as married, it must be legal. There are large numbers in every considerable town who pass as husband and wife yet have no legal status whatever as such.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Land of the Sunrise: A Story of a Japanese Family and the Wonderful Land They Live In Among the many books written about Japan a few are by thoughtful men and women, and are the results of mature study and sensible observation. Others are but the ephemeral ravings of pleasure seekers who look upon the Japanese as a nation of artistic clowns, whose sole destiny in the world is to furnish amusement for the thousands of globe trotters who annually pass through their owery land. It never occurs to the latter that these have souls to be saved or lost, and they regret to see the' breaking up of the old fascinating immorality, much of which can not even be referred to in print. Even among the best books it is almost impossible to obtain one of convenient, size, and at reasonable cost, that gives anything like a rounded conception of the country and the people as a whole. Most all deal with special topics; some discuss the Geography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. What Is a Family? explores the histories of diverse households during the Tokugawa period in Japan (1603–1868). The households studied here differ in locale and in status—from samurai to outcaste, peasant to merchant—but what unites them is life within the social order of the Tokugawa shogunate. The circumstances and choices that made one household unlike another were framed, then as now, by prevailing laws, norms, and controls on resources. These factors led the majority to form stem families, which are a focus of this volume. The essays in this book draw on rich sources—population registers, legal documents, personal archives, and popular literature—to combine accounts of collective practices (such as the adoption of heirs) with intimate portraits of individual actors (such as a murderous wife). They highlight the variety and adaptability of households that, while shaped by a shared social order, do not conform to any stereotypical version of a Japanese family.

Download or read book How Do You Live written by Genzaburo Yoshino and published by Algonquin Young Readers. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English translation of the classic Japanese novel that has sold over 2 million copies—a childhood favorite of anime master Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle), with an introduction by Neil Gaiman. First published in 1937, Genzaburō Yoshino’s How Do You Live? has long been acknowledged in Japan as a crossover classic for young readers. Academy Award–winning animator Hayao Miyazaki has called it his favorite childhood book and announced plans to emerge from retirement to make it the basis of his final film. How Do You Live? is narrated in two voices. The first belongs to Copper, fifteen, who after the death of his father must confront inevitable and enormous change, including his own betrayal of his best friend. In between episodes of Copper’s emerging story, his uncle writes to him in a journal, sharing knowledge and offering advice on life’s big questions as Copper begins to encounter them. Over the course of the story, Copper, like his namesake Copernicus, looks to the stars, and uses his discoveries about the heavens, earth, and human nature to answer the question of how he will live. This first-ever English-language translation of a Japanese classic about finding one’s place in a world both infinitely large and unimaginably small is perfect for readers of philosophical fiction like The Alchemist and The Little Prince, as well as Miyazaki fans eager to understand one of his most important influences.

Download or read book The Japanese Cinema Book written by Hideaki Fujiki and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese Cinema Book provides a new and comprehensive survey of one of the world's most fascinating and widely admired filmmaking regions. In terms of its historical coverage, broad thematic approach and the significant international range of its authors, it is the largest and most wide-ranging publication of its kind to date. Ranging from renowned directors such as Akira Kurosawa to neglected popular genres such as the film musical and encompassing topics such as ecology, spectatorship, home-movies, colonial history and relations with Hollywood and Europe, The Japanese Cinema Book presents a set of new, and often surprising, perspectives on Japanese film. With its plural range of interdisciplinary perspectives based on the expertise of established and emerging scholars and critics, The Japanese Cinema Book provides a groundbreaking picture of the different ways in which Japanese cinema may be understood as a local, regional, national, transnational and global phenomenon. The book's innovative structure combines general surveys of a particular historical topic or critical approach with various micro-level case studies. It argues there is no single fixed Japanese cinema, but instead a fluid and varied field of Japanese filmmaking cultures that continue to exist in a dynamic relationship with other cinemas, media and regions. The Japanese Cinema Book is divided into seven inter-related sections: · Theories and Approaches · * Institutions and Industry · * Film Style · * Genre · * Times and Spaces of Representation · * Social Contexts · * Flows and Interactions
