This book gives a social anthropological account of whaling culture
in Japan. When originally published this was the first
comprehensive account in English of the history of Japanese
whaling, showing how it has given rise to a particular culture. The
volume discusses what happens when that culture is threatened. At
the same time as explaining the work organization of those involved
in whaling, the role of whaling companies in local and national
economies, and the role of the whale in the establishment and
maintenance of local community identity (ritual, food,
gift-giving), the authors address the wider political and so-called
"environmental" issues surrounding whaling in general, and Japanese
whaling in particular.
