Early every morning, the worlds of hi-tech and pre-tech trade noisily converge as tens of thousands of tons of seafood from every ocean of the world quickly change hands in Tsukiji's auctions and in the marketplace's hundreds of tiny stalls. In this absorbing firsthand study, Theodore C. Bestor-who has spent a dozen years doing fieldwork at fish markets and fishing ports in Japan, North America, Korea, and Europe-explains the complex social institutions that organize Tsukiji's auctions and the supply lines leading to and from them and illuminates trends of Japan's economic growth, changes in distribution and consumption, and the increasing globalization of the seafood trade. As he brings to life the sights and sounds of the marketplace, he reveals Tsukiji's rich internal culture, its place in Japanese cuisine, and the mercantile traditions that have shaped the marketplace since the early seventeenth century. 410 0$aCalifornia studies in food and culture ;$v11. 606 $aMarkets$zJapan$zTokyo$xHistory 606 $aSeafood industry$zJapan$zTokyo$xHistory 607 $aTokyo (Japan)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aMarkets$xHistory. 615 0$aSeafood industry$xHistory. 676 $a381/.437/0952135 700 $aBestor$b Theodore C$0479442 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814575803321 996 $aTsukiji$94045813 997 $aUNINA
