Learn more at www.luminosoa.org.What Is a Family? explores the histories of diverse households during the Tokugawa period in Japan (1603-1868). The households studied here differ in locale and in status-from samurai to outcaste, peasant to merchant-but what unites them is life within the social order of the Tokugawa shogunate. The circumstances and choices that made one household unlike another were framed, then as now, by prevailing laws, norms, and controls on resources. These factors led the majority to form stem families, which are a focus of this volume. The essays in this book draw on rich sources-population registers, legal documents, personal archives, and popular literature-to combine accounts of collective practices (such as the adoption of heirs) with intimate portraits of individual actors (such as a murderous wife). They highlight the variety and adaptability of households that, while shaped by a shared social order, do not conform to any stereotypical version of a Japanese family. 606 $aFamilies$zJapan$xHistory$yEdo period, 1600-1868 607 $aJapan$xSocial life and customs$y1600-1868 607 $aJapan$xHistory$yTokugawa period, 1600-1868 610 $aadoption. 610 $aarchives. 610 $aclass. 610 $aearly modern japan. 610 $afamily order. 610 $afamily structure. 610 $afamily. 610 $agender. 610 $aheirs. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahousehold. 610 $ainfidelity. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese history. 610 $akimono. 610 $alegal system. 610 $aliterature. 610 $amerchant. 610 $amurder. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aoutcast. 610 $aparenting. 610 $apeasant. 610 $aprivilege. 610 $arelationships. 610 $asamurai. 610 $asocial hierarchy. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial order. 610 $atokugawa. 610 $atrial. 610 $atrue crime. 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory 676 $a306.850952 700 $aBerry$b Mary Elizabeth$4edt$0644593 702 $aBerry$b Mary Elizabeth, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aYonemoto$b Marcia, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341146503321 996 $aWhat Is a Family$93384175 997 $aUNINA
