Tracing the history of the koseki registration system from its inception in the Meiji era to its use in Japan's colonial holdings in the pre-war era and to the present, this book challenges the very foundations of the system, arguing that it promotes prejudice and discrimination and fosters a divisive understanding of the “Japanese” as a people.
