"Japan's Household Registration System (koseki seido) is an extremely powerful state
instrument, and is socially entrenched with a long history of population governance,
social control and the maintenance of social order. It provides identity whilst at
the same time imposing identity upon everyone registered, and in turn, the state receives
validity and legitimacy from the registration of its inhabitants. The study of the
procedures and mechanisms for identifying and documenting people provides an important
window into understanding statecraft, and by examining the koseki system, this book
provides a keen insight into social and political change in Japan.By looking through
the lens of the koseki system, the book takes both an historical as well as a contemporary
approach to understanding Japanese society. In doing so, it develops our understanding
of contemporary Japan within the historical context of population management and social
control; reveals the social effects and influence of the koseki system throughout
its history; and presents new insights into citizenship, nationality and identity.
Furthermore, this book develops our knowledge of state functions and indeed the nation
state itself, through engaging critically with important issues relating to the koseki
while at the same time providing a platform for further investigation. The contributors
to this volume utilise a variety of disciplinary areas including history, gender studies,
sociology, law and anthropology, and each chapter provides insights that bring us
closer to a comprehensive grasp of the role, effects and historical background of
what is a crucial and influential instrument of the Japanese state.This book will
be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese history, Japanese culture
and society, Japanese studies, Asian social policy and demography more generally.
