Sociology and Society of Japan
This innovative volume is a detailed study of the sociology and society of Japan in its own culture-specific, unique terms. Japan is the only major industrial society to emerge outside the West so far, yet Japanese society is very different from Western society, and must be understood in a different way. The sociological framework developed by the author and presented here does not imitate Western sociology, and provides an important new insight into Japan and the Japanese.
