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.

Rezensionen
"The book will be equally valuable to those conducting research on consumption in the Asia Pacific region, especially in comparison with the 'West,' for academics dealing with the history and/or the contemporary pattern of different kinds of festivities, as well as for researchers engaged in anthropological or sociological examinations of contemporary urban societies, or in gender studies." (Ferenc Takó, Journal of Religion in Japan, Vol. 8 (1-3), 2019)
