The book focuses on the Tohoku (Northeast) region, which many Japanese consider rural, agrarian, undeveloped economically, and the epitome of the traditional way of life. While this stereotype overstates the case?the region is home to one of Japan's largest cities?most Japanese contrast Tohoku (everything traditional) with Tokyo (everything modern). However, the contributors show how various regional phenomena?internationalization, lacquerware production, farming, enka (modern Japanese ballads), women's roles, and professional dance ?combine the traditional, the modern, and the global. Wearing Cultural Styles in Japan demonstrates that while people use the dichotomies of urban/rural and traditional/modern in order to define their experiences, these categories are no longer useful in analyzing contemporary Japan. 606 $aSocial change$zJapan 606 $aCulture and globalization$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y1945- 607 $aJapan$xCivilization$y1945- 615 0$aSocial change 615 0$aCulture and globalization 676 $a952.04 701 $aThompson$b Christopher$f1962-$01814979 701 $aTraphagan$b John W$0808117 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966605303321 996 $aWearing cultural styles in Japan$94369252 997 $aUNINA
