This volume explores a broad range of intimate practices in Japan in the first decades of the 2000s to trace how social change is manifests through deeply personal choices. From young people making decisions about birth control to spouses struggling to connect with each other, parents worrying about stigma faced by their adopted children, and queer people creating new terms to express their identifications, Japanese intimacies are commanding a surprising amount of attention, both within and beyond Japan. With ethnographic analysis focused on how intimacy is imagined, enacted, and discussed, the volume offers rich and complex portraits of how people balance personal desires with feasible possibilities and shifting social norms. 517 $aIntimate Japan 607 $aJapan$xSocial life and customs$y1945- 676 $a952.04 702 $aAlexy$b Allison 702 $aCook$b Emma 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476844803321 996 $aIntimate Japan$92152454 997 $aUNINA
