The traditional family and family house, often portrayed in ideal terms as key foundations of Japanese society, have been subject to significant changes in recent years. This book explores the degree to which traditional patterns of both houses and households are changing. It examines the social, economic and urban changes which are causing these changes, discusses the shift from the stem family to the nuclear family and to a situation where there are large numbers of single person and childless couple households, and elderly people living in nursing homes, and explores new patterns in family relationships. It also discusses new rhetoric about the family, and new concepts of self and family role fulfilment.
