Marriage in Contemporary Japan

"A carefully developed book that explicitly sets out its questions, theoretical influences, and methodology. Not 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.
