This book presents a case study of shichigosan, an extremely
popular childhood family ritual in contemporary Japan. It is an
interesting example of a custom with very ancient roots (going back
to the tenth century), that has undergone several transformations
during the course of its history, adapting to changing
socio-economic and cultural circumstances. Within the study, the
ritual unfolds as a shared platform where basic social values,
views on children and family life, and individual perceptions
emerge, are expressed and moulded at the same time. This book
offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of a ritual
practice in the intensely urbanized context of present-day Japan.
