The idea that Japan is a socially homogenous, uniform society has
been increasingly challenged in recent years. This book takes the
resulting view further by highlighting how Japan, far from singular
or monolithic, is socially and culturally complex. It engages with
particular life situations, exploring the extent to which personal
experiences and lifestyle choices influence this contemporary
multifaceted nation-state. Adopting a theoretically engaged
ethnographic approach, and considering a range of "escapes" both
physical and metaphorical, this book provides a rich picture of the
fusions and fissures that comprise Japan and Japaneseness today.
