Synopsis

The vast popular information about Japan applies western standards, and the deeper and more objective anthropological studies are inaccessible and often difficult to understand, says Hendry (social anthropology, Oxford Brookes U.). So she has translated the anthropological findings into terms that non- specialists can understand. Previous editions appeared in 1987 and 1995. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis.
