Title Summary
Responding to the broadening of interest in Japanese culture beyond specialist studies, the encyclopedia is intended as an accessible reference for both specialist readers and general readers seeking information on a specific topic or wanting an overview of a theme of area of contemporary Japanese culture. It also broadens the view of Japanese to include Brazilian Japanese, Nikkei in North America, japayuki (immigrant sex workers), the Burakumin and Ainu, the Chinese and Korean populations in Japan, gaijin, the status of women, and the greying of Japan. The focus is on the period since 1945. Articles are well cross-referenced, are signed, and suggest further reading. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
