| Description | The primary unit of social organization in Japan is the household. In an agrarian community a household has particularly important functions as a distinct body for economic management. A household is normally formed by, or around, the nucleus of an elementary family, and may include relatives and non-relatives other than these immediate family members. Its composition varies according to the specific situation, such as the stage in the cycle of the domestic family, and the economic situation of the household. However, its sociological importance is such that a household of any kind of composition is regarded as one distinct unit in society, represented externally by its head, and internally organized under his leadership. Once established a household is expected to remain intact in spite of changes of generations. In a village community it is the household, not family or kin group, that forms the basis of social organization. Book Name: Kinship and Economic Organization in Rural Japan |
