The State Construction of 'Japaneseness': The Koseki Registration System in Japan
Masataka Endo
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.
