What unites them is the social order of the Tokugawa shogunate. The circumstances and choices that made one household unlike another were nonetheless framed, then as now, by prevailing laws, norms, and controls on resources. These factors led the majority to form stem families, a focus of this volume.The essays draw on rich sources—population registers, legal documents, personal archives, 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 the Japanese family.
