Eleven accessibly written essays consider a spectrum of cases, from the geisha party to gay bar cool, executive grooming, and good manners for subway travel. Together, they show that etiquette is much more than fussy rules for behavior. In fact the idiom of manners, packaged in conduct literature, reveals much about gender and class difference, notions of national identity, the dynamics of subversion and conformity, and more. This richly detailed work reveals how manners give meaning to everyday life and extraordinary occasions, and how they can illuminate larger social and cultural transformations. 606 $aEtiquette$zJapan 606 $aSex role$zJapan 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xSocial life and customs 610 $aadvice literature. 610 $aasia scholars. 610 $abehavior guides. 610 $aclass differences. 610 $aconformity. 610 $acultural transformations. 610 $aculture studies. 610 $aearly modern period. 610 $aetiquette guides. 610 $aeveryday life. 610 $agay bars. 610 $ageisha party. 610 $agender differences. 610 $agender norms. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese culture. 610 $ajapanese society. 610 $amodern japan. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apower dynamics. 610 $aself help guides. 610 $asocial analysis. 610 $asocial etiquette. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asubversion. 610 $asubway travel. 615 0$aEtiquette 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 676 $a395.0952 701 $aBardsley$b Jan$0475791 701 $aMiller$b Laura$f1953-$01619220 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819486703321 996 $aManners and mischief$93975315 997 $aUNINA
